Great vid and nice bike, I have a 74 Kickstart in the UK and I am about to convert to electric start because my Sciatica is playing up! I will also re-shim the transmission this winter as this for me is a concern on these motors, I run a Buell cv carb on it with an adapter which runs well, Love that old-school chop look you have.
Mines a 75. I need to put the kick start back on. Great to have as a back up. My plans are to run a narrow springer front end. More vids around beginning of next year on the year down and rebuild.
@@danielpatterson2254 Sounds good, I am going to collect a 1974 XLH electric start with an S&S stroker motor in it tomorrow and I will swap the motors this week.
No sure. Just bought this bike off my friend. First chopper. I do know that the entire top end was just rebuilt. I plan on making more videos this December on the tear down of everything but the motor. Going to be cleaning up the frame and everything else on it. It’s a good looking bike but it looks tired. Converted to rear disc brake since, no front. Stay tuned more videos to come, but first work. Dammit.
No fork stop. Currently it’s the tank. It’s how I got it. Tank is dented where the top tree hits. This December I’ll be taking apart the bike and redoing a lot of it. Keeping it a chopper, just cleaning it all up. Stay tuned I’ll keep my progress updated here.
Man I sure wish my 68 ran like that. Gonna try another carb here soon. After changing everything including new top end coil ,points ,plugs, wires , still cant get the thing to not sputter over around 45 -50 mph. Tried all timing variations and jet combos. Its driving me nuts. Running a cv40 gonna try a bendix a neighbor gave me.
@@projectcarl2706 pop a 48t sprocket on there if its already got a disc, my old one had a 52t stock and i switched it to 48t and it was much smoother. couldnt catch me to about 80 lol
Yup a 75. Different at first, used it now. It’s my main bike. And when go to another bike to ride it takes a mile or two to get used to left shift again.
I don’t know the brand or where it came from. When I picked up the bike it was already on it. It’s not a horse shoe and has a built in oil filter adapter. Have never seen another one like it. I tried image search but still couldn’t find a match.
That's the way I like it! Just riding, with no talking and with no music, just listening to the exhaust sound and seeing the landscape!
Beautiful chopper, totally badass.
Awesome! I feel like I got a ride in without even leaving the farm.
Thanks for the ride bro! Ride on and stay safe! Beautiful bike!
Sweet ride , love the sound of the engine 👍🙏
Bad ass Sports as I call my 79.
Yeeess no music just the sweet sound of the bike. Nice video !
Nothing like getting hit by rain at 70 mph ! Nice ride !
Lol my que to turn around but ol boy is CHOPPIN!! luv it
This is a whole mood
absolutely perfect, bike sounds good
Beautiful bike man!!😻
Really this guy got it right. With the bike and the video. Sounds really good man!
A true neighborhood nightmare 💪 them low slung bend on your springer looks sweet. It matches the paint as weird as that sounds. I'm a weird dude
Sweet machine Carl.
Love it. Mine is on blocks waiting for parts. I’ll have to ride through this video for awhile.
Sorry about the rain drops. Will make another one soon white nicer weather. But a rides a ride. Enjoy.
Love those bars man! Nice scoot. And we all look for just one more gear... Lol.

Nice running/sounding ironhead!!! Seems to be dialed in very well! You running stock teeth sprockets?

I like how grab for another gear coming onto airbase haha
HA HA!!! Didn’t count my gears.
Lo felicito muy buena máquina 👏👏👏👏💪🏽👍
Thanks.
classic ride. ride safe and much respect
Nothing like the sound of a old ironhead 1000
Sounds good.
Oh yeah , nice ride !
Could've watched that for hours man
That scooter is cool AF! I sub’d ya!
I see you want another gear too . I find myself wondering if I'm in 4th or not . I'm thinking I may change my sprockets.
cool beans! QUESTION: What did you do for fork stops on that dna springer front end?

Soo good, let it ride

I've got a 76 running super E ss if that doesn't work out
Yep the them old iron heads needed one more gear.
Indeed it dose.

@@Spaceman_Spiff_74 thanks for the info. Wasn’t sure what tooth count I really wanted to go to.
Sweet! Is it a 75? I noticed you were shifting with your right foot
Yup a 75. Different at first, used it now. It’s my main bike. And when go to another bike to ride it takes a mile or two to get used to left shift again.
closest I'll get to riding mine...lol
is that a right hand shift?
Are those Gabriel shocks?
What handle bars are those? Just picked up a 72 ironhead and looking to do something similar.
No idea. They were on the original set up when I bought the bike and have never seen another like them.
What kind of handle bars are those
yep yep
ironheads forever 🤘🏽 take these over shovels and pans any day
What kind of bars sre those?
🤘😎🤘
👍
What oil tank are you running?
I don’t know the brand or where it came from. When I picked up the bike it was already on it. It’s not a horse shoe and has a built in oil filter adapter. Have never seen another one like it. I tried image search but still couldn’t find a match.
where did you get your handlebars??
They were on the bike when I got it. Haven’t seen ones for sale ever. They are vintage a bars along with the risers.
Ironheads just sound better. I had a 74 I regret selling for a Road King.
Ouch. More vids to come on a tear down and redo of this chopper.
hi, can you tell me exact front end specification? thanks!
I know springer 2over.
@@projectcarl2706 thanks alot! was looking for a video with 2 over, whanna get it for my sporty! cheers and take care!
Been trying to find a narrow 4 over but instead going opposite direction. I picked up a 4 under narrow. Videos on that in the near future.
@@projectcarl2706 subscribed, will be waiting for those! cheers mate
This is the way.
The neighbourhood is amused..
LOL!! I know especially when when I’m warming the bike up.
Your Harley, 1 liter of petrol can drive miles.
No there isn't another gear.
LOL!!! Still gets me tho.
