Yeah it's pretty cool, I like the fact it still has the kick starter along with the electric ⚡! I tried to build it to look sorta like a duo glide, still got a few things to iron out, paint and emblems and such. I really dig your ironhead as well! Take er easy bro, and thanks a bunch 🤘🤘🤘
Hey Jim, first off I had to use a post from a 45, to fit the seat tube diameter, also had to do a little work to fit the seat post bushing in the frame. Last I welded a large 1/4 inch thick washer to the bottom of the frame, to secure the bottom of the post. I hope I explained it well, thanks 😊
@@terrymassey7619 Yea, I wasn't sure when they quit putting the bigger down tube in. I have the 45 seat post and the bushing in and reamed to fit but need to get a piece of metal laser cut for the D shaped threaded stem at the bottom for my 84 FLH. Some say it isn't necessary but my '67 frame is shaped that way so------. Probably gonna wait until next winter now and do it when I swap motors. I have a 88" er built and ready for my lazy ass. Thanks for replying
I do have a leather jacket, I've had it for many years, in fact it was a gift from a brother in Texas. It's not what you would call greaser, I wear it when it's cold out. Otherwise it's jeans, boots and a t shirt, thanks for commenting 🤘
Thanks Terry for the info. Nice shovel head. I love older bikes. Yours really sounds good.

Did you have to put a plate under the seat post for the pogo?

Do you wear any leather greaser jackets with your motorcycle?

Why no love for that poor neglected kick starter?
Watch my other vid, I Kickstart it in it. I use it quite a bit actually, but that button sure is nice, lol! Thanks 🤘 🤘🤘
the idle is too low.
Yeah, I'm aware, I hadn't even adjusted the carb when this vid was made. Thanks for commenting 🤘
@@terrymassey7619 oh ok, didn't mean to jump the gun on that. i had a 1980, 80" flh from new for many years but gone now, me too old.
No worries bro 🤘
