Shovelhead chopper project - EP 1 Fix transmission leak

This is my new project bike, a 1972 Harley Davidson FX1200 shovelhead. My plans with this bike are to transform it into a chopper. In this video I replace the transmission and crank seals with the help of my father in law. THANKS DAZZA

Yeah I'm very lucky to have someone who's alot more skilled than me and just as passionate to wrench on the beast.

Nice one broooooooooh

[@TheGingybeardMan]

Ooooooeeee it's been a while.

[@RonValentine-ky8vi]

enjoy your video's...quick question did you ever have any issues on street bob when you took off gators? I can't tell if you put them back on or not...thanks!

[@TheGingybeardMan]

I didn't have any issues with the fork seals leaking, just wanted to go back to an all blacked out front. The softail standard has the same forks as the street bob and it doesn't use the gators.

[@mrchrisoben]

We’re is the iron head bro ?

[@TheGingybeardMan]

Sold it and my sportster 72 to fund this project mate.

[@mrchrisoben]

@@TheGingybeardMan what a upgrade bro !

[@cellardyke100]

Great to see you back at it mate. Didn't I say, be prepared for leaks 😂😂😂😂 Your right hand man knows his stuff, lucky you. Cant wait to see where you go with the build. Cheers

[@TheGingybeardMan]

Hahaha you were dead right about leaks mate. Just found another leak from the cam shaft seal behind my points. It's gonna be a labour of love this bike.
