  • I've been on the hunt for an Evo or Shovel for a few months. Well, we found one! I love these Harley Davidsons and I'm looking forward to learning more about the Evo platform. Everyone seems to love it. Never mind the oil on the exhaust in the photo! I had just checked it and forgot to wipe it off.

    Love that tennis ball/ glow in the dark "florescent green"! That the color I want to paint MY 883/street 500 & 750! The color is UNFORGETABLE!! Thanks for not changing that color until I saw it 👍🏍️😎🤓🤭 Doug!

    I still have my 1995 Springer Softail. It is my first and only Harley and it still runs great. It’s been very reliable with just regular maintenance. The best upgrade I’ve done is changed to a 6 speed transmission. Much lower rpm at speed on hwy.

    The back wheel being off to the side also is an indicator of the motor mounts being worn, which is also a contributor to the wobble.

    • @UncleBogator
      @UncleBogator  28 днів тому

      In this case the motor mounts are new. The wobble was definitely do to improper torque. I have a whole other video coming soon of the fixes we’ve made so far. The axle nut wasn’t torqued at all. Just barely tight.

    I got tired of my mixing valve contraption. For roofs i just batch mix. Simpler and more reliable for me. I'll x-jet driveways/patios.

    • @UncleBogator
      @UncleBogator  28 днів тому +1

      I think I'd be ok batch mixing if I had more room for a dedicated batch mix container. My last few jobs I've needed both the pressure and softwash systems. If I had batch mixed, I wouldn't have had an effective downstream mix. But yeah, it's kind of a pain constantly troubleshooting.
