Is there anywhere I can see how you mounted the rear fender to work with the swingarm? Is it just mounted into the sissy bar and the rear section of the frame?

I have been through the exact same issue you are having with this clutch and the clearance with a primary cover. I added spacers between the oil bag mount and the lower frame mount and bent the whole primary outwards hah. I cannot fit my derby cover on. Unfortunately my research for a longer belt to actually allow the clutch to be centered in the derby cover also was unsuccessful, BDL doesn't have "longer" belts with the same tooth count. Someone in the comments suggested adding a gasket between inner and outer primary so I will likely give it a shot at some point to see if I can add a derby cover. I also realized even after chasing my lurching clutch issue / grinding from stop or on a hill was really related to my clutch plates being shit. I had done a tamer, long roller clutch hub, and new basket, and the sugarbaby super clutch. None of it resolved that issue. So I ended up getting BDL clutch plates and its never been smoother. My only caveat with the sugar baby clutch is there is very minimal friction zone, its pretty much on or off , but after getting used to it i dont notice it now, foot clutch as well.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Me like !!!!

They say for every one tooth in the front its equivalent to 3 in the rear. Did you ever consider lowering teeth in the rear instead of pulling the primary apart. Just seems easier. Unless you already have like a 48 or 47 rear on.

Cool primary cover. I have one just like it on my shovel chopper

Awesome scoot, good to know there is more of us shovel owners in Naples, other than Chopper Dave there is only a few of us

killer bike bro, where you at? Looks like lighthouse point

I would love to know how much $$$ is this project. Looks sick

Congrats! Great looking bike. Foot controls are killer

Great video - Love your bike! I see your throttle cable is hidden. How does the throttle mechanism work inside the handlebar?

Hipster

itr's not the ankle that's at risc. it's your knees .After 35 years kicking my shovelhead my knees are shot.Lignaments and cartillage. It looks cool and tough but believe me better use an electric starter. I'm rebuilding my kick only to electric this week.

a real beauty

Nice clean lines on that bike. Looks well cared for. 👍

What kind of seat is on the light blue one?

Florida?

Now ya need an 81. First year Harley Davidson was back in action out from under amf. Shovel on 💪

This is the type of content im looking for!!! I want a shovel so bad lol.

Camera is fine !!

Camera is not in an attractive angle for the viewer, too low!

Well, that don't seem right!😂👍

is that a lowbrow wx split gas tank ?? looks cool !

Buddy seats are like bonds after bikeriders came out

Great bike!!! what bracket you used to mount to 2 into 1 exhaust? I have the same set up but I’m having trouble finding the right mount bracket for the exhaust

Hi, what fuel tank do you have on your bike? 3.5 or 5 gallons?

carb needs to be leveled.

Very Interesting video. But I will stick with the Mikuni 38 VM Carb on my 83 FXWG.

Thanks and it has a front brake looks like? I love these bikes, but usually no front brake. Yours has a clean drum look.

Subscribed, can not wait for if this is gonna work or not! I consider installing on my Ducati monster 900!

You’d think a Dr would know to actually MOUNT a device that meters fuel before starting it up…

Might i suggest, an intake spacer with 2 bolts on one side, and a short rubber intake boot with proper clamp bands next time before testing? That way you can lever the carb, and get float level correct and jetting correct for that engine👍 Its a great idea though

Right 👍 on brother sounds great nice bike.chops

heh, heh....

😎👍😎

I'm interested in seeing where this goes. Definitely need to level the carb, or the float will not operate properly. Good luck!

I love your bike and you have really good energy...You understand the understated,sutle old school look. I wouldn't do my bike the same.If i were to do a project like yours, i would want your expertise ....Fantastic Paint... What kind of Doctor???? Be well God bless you,Enjoy...Thank you .

👍🏼 🇺🇸

It sucks that you had to ruin the cover to install this thing.

5:57 - That slabside Shovel looks a lot like a bike that I built back in the late 1960s. That's a great road bike. Thanks, Dr. Mike Merkt.

I ran a riviera diaphragm clutch on my 80* and love it….definitely need to try one of these on my 74

You did a great job

It's not a dirt bike so I wouldn't worry about that air filter. Got something similar on an old sportster i have and it works fine

That's a badass chop right there buddy 👌

I like it more manly.

So much nice work on this bike, looks great!

I love vintage Harleys BUT the buddy seat seems to sit too far forward (over the tank) for my liking. As a long legged individual I would feel cramped and with a wrong center of gravity. Did you find you had to adjust your riding style even when riding solo?

Good stuff 👍 👍 Caleb would probably call that carb the one thousand dollar carb 😝 …at minimum. But yes, still worth every penny of time spent on it considering the alternative. Two questions: 1. What do you, good doctor, think about initially using a sonic cleaner in order to get much of the crud off, thereby lessening the time spent on initial grime removal? Seen the old gray-beard, Pacific Mike, applying the services of his new one to great satisfaction recently. 2. What about just using the nifty little Dremel? It seems as though the Dremel “OEM” collar, utilized on THE actual Dremel would maybe be less of a threat in regards to nicking the surface than that adapter set-up. It somehow seems as though that Milwaukee unit, as nice as it is, is a little more cumbersome to handle for finesse work than a Dremel would be. It’s just a thought. Lookin’ forward to the progression of the slow-build 😎 From Southern California ~ Ride Forever! 🦅
