    I thought he was gonna adjust his timing not pull out a pair of fashionable boots. 🇺🇸

      Hahahah!! It actually doesn’t kick back much at all. Plus I have the Morris G5 mag which has the auto retard feature

    The fact you have built a bike you enjoy and to your personal taste, well makes my opinion irrelevant. Great job sir! Much respect , ride safe…

    Hey, those boots look good on you on the bike. Thorogood makes a great moc toe, just as good as Red Wing IMO for a lot less $$..

    the background looks like an episode of Neighbors. Just looking for the golf buggy and a triangular welcoming committee.

      You’re not wrong! Handful of golf carts in the neighborhood. Goal is to hopefully get a single family home in the next year or two. Until then this place is great. Not a ton of spots that have garages connected down here

    Ret*rd your ignition a few degrees. That's the actual fix.

      It actually very rarely kicks back…had former factory HD flat track mechanic Brent Thompson help me with timing. When I was making this it actually started 1st kick 😂

    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.

      Totally hear what you’re saying! Have you looked into the Indian Larry electric start set ups? We have one on my dad’s 67 flh you’ll see in my videos and it works great! You can keep the tin primary with it

    Thats one hell of a wannabee biker starter kit. Especially the pink kids bike.

      Hell yeah brother! Luckily I don’t want to be a biker so that’s good. Just someone who enjoys vintage Harley’s. Otherwise I’d have a black road glide like all the other “bikers”
