- This one ragged old Harley Davidson Panhead that's been "resting" quietly for about five years. We're going to "revive" her and put my buddy back in the wind in short order. No restoration, just get her going while he finishes up his road bike. This will hopefully answer the question, "What do I need to do to get this bike up and running?" Not gonna spend a lot of money, just a little time.
Know this video has been out for a while buy just picked up a 65 fl been sitting for over 35 years.
Got a 48 pan that hasn't ran in long time. This video makes me want to get it on the road.
1 thing you do for sure once it has + power to be cranked over is check the gas tanks with a flashlight.... If too much rust they need to come off and be cleaned or replaced.
Hello there. Have enjoyed your videos and have been a subscriber for a while now. Have a 75 FLH project that unfortunately was started several years ago and is still waiting for me to finish. One of the things I've done is several years ago I bought a brand new, fully assembled 93" all S&S shovelhead style engine that has never been fired up. Am wondering if there's anything I should be concerned about before starting it for the first time? I am concerned about the possibility of the various oil seals leaking.
Hello I have a 74 shovelhead that’s been sitting a bit n won’t go in or out of gear ware do I start
I think I went to auto supply and bought a rear master cylinder for a old packard to fit my 70 FLH , ignition system for a six cylinder Chevy
did Mike mention fork oil?, whenever I acquire another bike invariably it has water contamination in the fork oil or different levels in each leg or both.
Just curious, what year is the panhead motor? I think you mentioned the heads were ‘48..bottom end is ‘48 too?
That's still a great tutorial. Thanks.
I inherited a modified ~1958 panhead from my father who passed away a couple years ago. We have pictures of him working on it in our living room back before I was born 35+ years ago. I've started digging into it, it's pretty rough but fascinating, and I stumbled across your series. Really excited to watch through everything you've done on it and learning along the way! I'm not too interested in a full restoration, too expensive right now, I just want to get it up and running again and make it my own, first bike. Thank you for all these videos, looking forward to binge watching over the next few hours!
Cheech from cheech and chong
I watch a lot of bike building videos, I'm rebuilding a 76 Ironhead currently. My dream is to find a decent Panhead, even a restorable Knuckle. I enjoy your videos, you have to be the most mellow guy on RUclips! Thanks for dropping the knowledge!
Hi Mike ...it"s nice engine,do you have the other? I need the engine
We inherited a '77 Shovelhead from my step-father-in-law that sat for about 10 years. We're late bloomers and have a special needs daughter who has had priority over time and money.. Rightly so 😊 so hubby and I new to WORKING ON bikes, this has proven to be a HUGE undertaking. Totally worth it, of course 😁 but he FINALLY just got it to kick over Yesterday for the first time.. the day before his 48th Birthday, what a Gift!! However, it won't keep idling.. SU Carb ( which we've watched your AMAZING videos for ) and we Did bring it into a High Altitude new home, from Cali to Wyoming.. so.. may need to replace needle, along with other ..issues..we'll say 😁❤️
Oh Lord but that engine is a wonderful piece of forties architecture.
I am really into this project. A- its a pan. B-I think we've all been in this situation C-We know you fix things right with great camera, sound and intelligence. Let it rip
Hi Mike
Looks like a great project , sure would like to be involved in work of this nature Great to see these old bikes still alive
Hey Mike, new subscriber looking forward to following this project. 61 Panhead in the garage
