Keep us updated on this build. I’m putting a girder on my 74’ xlh.

your diagram was incredibly helpful and saved me from taking all apart 2 times. THANK YOU!

Love the "head peeking out the window to watch how the starting is going!" I reckon she knew he'd end up with the pushbutton crank.

Nice bike

Where did you get that exhaust?

I need to know how you wired the shovelhead to start and run without the wiring harness, Ive been working on this 76 shovelhead for 7 years, I brought it home in boxes, and have just about finished it completely, so if you could help me out with this one thing I believe Ill get to at least hear it run before I die

Still early in the video, but just wanted to say that the bike’s gonna look great! I just got my new chain for my ‘99 Heritage Softail, was missing a few o-rings on my old chain. Hoping getting the old master link off won’t give me too much trouble. I seen a couple of videos where guys would use C-clamps and a nut 🔩 as an alternative to the master link tool which I don’t have. Greetings from Reno, Nevada ✌️😃

Thanx for this video. Now I feel confident about removing the alternator in my '89. 😎👍👍

Too bad it’s not rigid

3:39: on the treble side, that fingerboard NEEDS relief! Makes thumb position a bit easier to execute.

Good Luck!

Nice bike! I like that year with the wide tank. My daughter has a 2007 Sportster and although it’s kinda fun to ride, I still prefer my ‘99 Heritage Softail. I’m getting ready to go help my son put some new pipes on his Street Bob, but I love watching your videos and learning. 👍❤️

Beautiful shovel! Like your style! What length shocks do you run?

She’s aliveeeee

Nice Guitar

I know this video is 2 years old but I just saw it. I must say your bike is exactly how I’d want it. It’s totally has that look. 👍

Made that look easy! Thats the way to do it , beautiful old bike

Right 👍 on cool bike I'm digging the cc bar looks great

She is a gorgeous. I got a 73 fx Superglide...love it!

Nice. I love drilling videos.. would love to learn more about pitches and what they do

good score.

Sir --Your as real as it gets.I have my 80 FXSB That has been under blankets for 10 years.I am so glad to see Our Shovels get rebuilt and back on the road. Bless you

Neetoo

I refired one that sat 13 years and then I put 35K miles on it.

What brand exhaust are you running on you bike?

It's alive!! An air cleaner may help the Super B run a little better.

Good job!.....Thank you

lookin' good. spartan does make nice frames.

I love seeing these shovelheads coming back to life. I have a 78 flh. I'm swapping in an 80 cubic inch 81 flt motor this weekend. I will completely rebuild the original 74 top and bottom end and keep it. Can't wait to see what you do with the 79. I'm a new subscriber as of today.

Them petcocks I got where I never trusted them and use small stainless Ball vaulves .

Amazing. I have a 83 fxwg wide glide . Bought like a basket bike last winter .... Regards from Norway

When the lever on the petcock is down, that's reserve. Up is on. Also, just behind the right rear floorboard mount- is that a crack in the frame or an optical illusion on the video?.

yeehaw!! back from the dead! great job, pops!

if you watch the vid (at 9:57) you'll see the leak starts at the petcock.

Right on, brother! 👍 That is such a beautiful bike! ❤ Long may she run

I LOVE SHOVELHEADS THANSK

Nice bike

Interesting I see a lot of guys don’t remove that dash carpet under the steering wheel and try to use a wobble ratchet extension.. I am trying that now and it’s a pain so I’m going to try what you recommended and take that down too.. appreciate that suggestion I hope it works!!

Those old shovels are not started up,you wake them up. I own a 78 1/2 FLH,my first big twin and a 76 Superglide FXE kick and electric ,74 cubic inch many great miles in my youth,72 now and still in the wind by the grace of God! Maranatha, Greetings from Tampa Florida 😎

man, i almost laughed out loud when you mentioned 'the song that never ends'. i raised 8 kids and that song is burned into my head. your shovel long chop's lookin' cool. i have an early '78 that we're almost done putting together. the 74" version of that year. i also like my coffee like i like my women, cold and bitter 😂. i was going to ask you about the blue shovel but you beat me to it. see ya next time.

Hello. The Reb bike. I have same front end. I bought a rolling chassis. I believe it's a big dog pitbull front end. I only have single caliper on front. Can you show close up of brake caliper mount? And what brake caliper you are using? Pm me any time. I have a 131 Evo in my frame. And 3.35 belt drive primary

I have a 79 fxe but not sure if it's a 74 or 80 inch ?!?

looks really good

Haven’t bowled since I was 17. This brought me back to wanting to go back to it, very similar experience to archery.

The 16 does not fit the rest of the bike

hey pops, how's it goin' ? yep, tiny shops suck. looking forward to the long fork shovel build. had a few long fork bikes when i was young.

sounds like solenoid is kicking out just not meshing up w Bendix gear

Thank you pops! Just bought an 88 and I noticed my brakes were stiff as a brick wall, appreciate this video and the tips!

Safety Crocs 😂
