    Ironheads are so basic they are a joy to work on, a good factory manual and a lots of blue loctite and you're ready to roll.

      The modern Sportster Evo engines are still 90% the same as an Ironhead.

    That stand's got attitude, quite literally. I never lean a bike that far over, not even when I'm riding. :D

    I'm not trying to tell you what to do but you really should let the older Harleys warm up for a few minutes before you take off. It's really better for the bike. Ask any Cat that's into the older H-D's, they'll tell you the same. Please don't be mad, just trying to save you some blown gasket problems on the older Harleys.

      This guy don't care he's a total clown. Text book sales man
      Everything out his mouth is bullshit and he knows very little mechanical engineering if any. Perfect example is this vid. Notice the bike runs like GARBAGE and can barley hold an idle yet he babbles about how great shape it's in and does anything he can to avoid it's issues. Things probably beet to death. I've rebuilt countless ironheads, and then pretty ones are always the worst inside. Valves are probably sunk in the head, carb dirty, intake boots shot valve guides smoked etc. That's why he's selling it for 2k. Cus it's a turd

      Been riding my 82 for the past 3 years in upstate ny all year as long as there's no snow on the ground. I have straight pipes and live in a development so I start it and leave no warm up almost everyday and I've never had a head gasket problem. Just typical ironhead rattling itself apart. There almost indestructible if you know how to turn a wrench

    you should really warm it up Sean; i regret the few times i haven't really warmed up my '06 XL1200C...after the initial warm up of the day you can get away with starting and taking off pretty quickly though!

    I used to own one of those, it was a fun bike until I realized that I had to keep fixing it in order for it to keep running, I sold that piece of garbage, and bought a 1986 Honda gold wing, best motorcycle I ever owned, and I have owned many. Most were all Honda motorcycles.

    just got one for $500, hasn't been registered since 2004 it looks like. belonged to the guys father. It's sat outside covered for awhile when I got it, I think it was stored inside for a few years though. Fuel tank was drained, Haven't started working on it yet. I think i'll just put a battery in and some gas just to see where i'm at with it. Sounds unrealistic but it would be neat if it just works lmao.

    diddo what dj said. i know you dont buy a lot of these older harleys but they really need to warm up before riding to let the gaskets expand and seat right.

      i dont think you are really going to want to watch a video of me sitting on the bike waiting for it to warm up

    • @CountryHouseGent
      @CountryHouseGent 8 лет назад

      I don't know. You do the walk around and test ride videos. How about the 'warm up' videos ?
      Then there's the 'putting gas in it' and 'parking it in the garage' videos ? :P

    • @rollthelosingdice

      Very true, make sure the heads/rockers are at least warm to the touch before riding.

  • @boomerguy9935
    @boomerguy9935 4 года назад +2

    Harley's have bushings in the JIFFY stand which has a different working mechanism from a regular kickstand. The weight of the motorcycle locks the jiffy (patented name from a long, long time ago) stand into a slot to keep it from retracting to its parallel position above the ground. Another reason for the bike leaning so much is the profile of the tires may be different. When I replaced the factory Dunlop's with the same nominal profile Metzeler's, the new tires were so tall that my bike leaned like the one in the video. I had to add a Bung King 1" bushing to the bottom (horizontal) part of the jiffy stand. So, the previous owner of this Ironhead may be innocent.

      T Kong if you get the right seat and get the riding pegs forward in front of the frame, you may be able to roll on it. I am 6’4” and did that with my 84 sportster. It a lot of fun...
