I understand your lingo perfectly, been wrenching officially since '72. You have incredible patience, and it shows on your work and how you carefully explain different tasks. This channel is priceless for those whom want to improve upon their skills, no matter what level those may be. Right on man ! !
Keep on trucking Todd! You will inspire the next generation well there might be a couple out of the lemmings! Love to watch and LEARN! Your vids are great! Gerry from Toronto ,Canada.
loved the video , You made great points about the aluminum age gives a sandstone/ river rock pattern and pitting would take decades to replicate .People who would disagree need a trip to their local salvage yards and look at old fords and toyotas from the 90's . It took those junkers 30 years just to get the chalky glaze appearance in the weather. Billy bob paint booth could never pull off what mother nature can . The only thing i didn't enjoy out of the entire lesson was chrome socket on an impact .though i do give credit for using an adapter an using air tools to speed up the process .Hope you can continue to make these videos in your spare time to inform the younger guys like myself of how things truly were from first hand experience. ive learned far more from watching you here than i could ever have in the same short amount of time in the field ,and for that I Thank you Todd .
That is a beautiful bike, reminds me of Greenie, Todd your channel is excellent and I have learnt a lot about Harley's from you, the content is very useful.
Good to see you back in the game, sweet pan,,,,,back in the 70s,we came across bike's like that and chop em into rolling death traps,,,,, the wiring, consistency of the old bike oily glaze, no uncle Billy bob cresent wrench butchering, nice bike all the best to you, Kevin!
Thank you Todd been watching your videos for the years I've learned quite a bit from you!!! I own two Harleys my biggest mistake was getting rid of a 47 knucklehead basket case 21 years ago!!!
You don't have to be a super expert to understand, at first glance, that it is a bike as old and as original as it seems. it is clear from the video, let alone in person. From personal experience I learned that the people who break the balls on this and that other detail, are always the ones who never buy anything.
title numbers issue - use post it to block out owner's name/address, Original speedo or not-easy enough to show on camera without damaging originality-didn't you authenticate it when you bought it? Starting/teardown explanation by you-cleaning out carb, getting spark, verifying oil pressure and kicking it over to run for 45 seconds doesn't seem too big an ask if you want big #'s .
seems straight foward to me . Every one operates differant didnt he sell that knuck at auction for serious money dont think he started it. seemes legit why risk damage I agree new owner can buy it and tear it down do whatever they want with it.
Have you ever written or thought about writing a book and sharing some of the knowledge you retained over the years, you see to be a walking talking HD information center
Funny watching this again so many years later. What a dork! You can put a bunch of crusty parts on a bike and say it's original. Looks can be deceiving. People may trust your opinion, but man is fallible. I'd be asking for the numbers too at the amount of money being asked for something it's called "reassurance."
@djmajor1597 sorry you think thats what happened. The buyer was very pleased and aware that I'm his area that's exactly how things age. The machine is as presented, entirely original
@djmajor1597 well, everyone has an opinion.. I no longer have the machine. However, if you are ever in the Vancover Canada area I'll happily put you in touch with the current owner

Are you going to get this one running or leaving as is?

@HuntingHarleys I'm simply responding to your condescending commentary in the video
