+1 on that tire pressure gauge. I received a gift card and didn't realize I needed that gauge! It's super handy for 90 degree stems AND those straight (standard) ones. Gets around the rotors easily.
26 years as a auto technician, you would think I have enough to do everything I need to, I'm really curious about doing internal engine,trans,and primary work and the special items you want to have to do it. I appreciate your time and knowledge.
Could you talk about lift options? Maybe ways of getting your bike off the ground if you don’t have a lift? Which repairs require the bike to be off the ground. Thanks for the great videos!
I believe the lift is more for ergonomics than a real necessity. You can do everything with a motorcycle jack, well, at least I do. I have changed wheels, fork tubes, and installed a big bore kit on a motorcycle jack.
My most used assessment tool....a flashlight. Nice video John. My box set up very similar. I did label drawers with goofy tags like sharp things and radioactive. TechRespect

Im a tech at Highplains Harley Davidson in Clovis New Mexico, this is the first video of yours I've seen. Liked it. Sales guy said I needed to see this. Not sure why lol can't say our carts are to different, but I like how you said "they're are many carts like it but this one is mine" might steal that from ya. Good vid, if you're working on your own stuff. Since you're marketing this to novice techs. Only suggest is Buy a Service Manual if you're new to this. Don't Google forum this stuff, their opinion is not always accurate. Good vid tho.
Stubby wrenches are VERY useful had to replace my battery yesterday and I had a hard time getting the negative tighter with just a socket or a screwdriver . It was a metric 6 bolt and a square nut and my hands are like giant sausages .I’m glad I found you or I would have a rusting sportster In my garage all my training is from watching you thanks for your videos !!!! P.S please upload more sportster stuff im still trying to tune up my 07 xl1200L and your explaining of things is much more in depth and fun so it’s easy to learn THANK YOU again!!
Just ordered my Commuter speaker. We (wife and I) were looking to get a new one and with 65%, hell to the yeah. Thanks for all of the awesome videos. We're looking forward to any Bring It Home videos.
Seeing the Police bike reminded me of my days stationed in Albany, Georgia, circa 1977-1979. I was one of a small group of Marines at the base who owned Harleys back then. Today if you go to a military base you will be overrun by Harleys. Anyway, I used to go to Potter Motors, the Albany Harley dealer. They aren't a Harley dealer anymore, I think they deal in tractors and other motorized utility vehicles. I was getting my 1977 XLCH serviced when I witnessed an Albany Police woman dump her Police Special while standing still in the parking lot. I ran over to help her, and boy did I get rebuked. She said, "I can do it myself!" I let it go and waited while the staff of Potter Motors came out to help her. Their customer service was much more welcome to her than my offer of help from a lowly Jarhead. The Potter boys, son's of the owner of Potter Motors were popular guys to go riding with if you were invited. The Potter boys were known to stand up to motorcycle clubs, such as the Outlaws. The Outlaws didn't fare well in Albany back then.
Nothing like a JM bonus vid at 0600hrs! Been at work all night, trying to kill the last hour, and here it is. Hope the ride to Texas/Oklahoma went well on the new HD. Great video as always man!
Swivel top tip from this highly trained, unprofessional, Ford tech here. As those chrome swivel extensions loosen up and get floppy they can be hard to control in tight spaces. Wrap a little electrical tape around them. The tape holds them steady but still flexes. When the tape wears out, just peel it off and add new tape.
When I used to turn wrenches for a living, I was always glad to have many name brand tools but I had a tool cart and impact sockets from harbor freight and those were awesome!
Want to thank you as well as Matt Laidlaw and Blockhead for your reviews. I just pulled the trigger Thursday and got a 2019 road glide special with stage I and Rinehart exhaust. That bike is so different from the road king i had and I'm so impressed by the ride and the power. Not to mention all the in board goodies. It's a beast
Very impressed with the cart john, great basics. the manual is the most important part before serving a bike indeed and learned a lot over the years and in ways, the simplicity of these machines. what motivated me was these five words of "that's not covered under warranty" and have tooled on mine ever since. great channel john and all the best to you sir!😎👍✌PEACE!
John Great set up ! I have been looking for a rolling box. For working on the bikes and able to roll it out to the truck. just the stupid magnetic wrench holders is a cool trick for organization!
I have watched your videos for a while now and love the useful information on them. I think you should have mentioned one thing that would be essential if you are working on any newer bike,.. a digital multimeter. Extremely handy when working on any of the electrical systems on the bike.
Ok, I’ve watched a bunch of your videos and I have to say they are all worth the time! But this one was the most interesting yet. I saw a lot of tools I could use. As interesting as cramming the whole Harley line into a small space to look at. Thanks again for your public service to the Harley community.
Hey John; I don't recall seeing any screw-driver there, but I truly did not know that they made a Metric Size Crescent Wrenches, Wow what'll they think of next.. 😎 Really like the tunes coming out of your Blue Tooth, there's nothing like listening to some good Rocking Jam while on the job. You know if I wanted to take my roll around tool caddie outside I'd need to put a lift-kit under it and put some extra large All Terrain Tires on it, and a Heavy Duty Emergence Brake just to keep it in the drive-way. Hey I seen a pack of new H-D Grips hanging on the peg board there, How much you want for them...? Great Video's man. Keep'um coming. Hope to see you out there somewhere sometime. 🤠
In case it becomes difficult (damaged screw head…) I have some Metrinch (unfortunately not my patent). It also reduces the number of tool I have with me on road (combines inch and metric tools). Thanks for your informativ video!!!
Gotta get me a set of those ratchet wrenches. Been considering getting a HF roll cart instead of a standard toolbox for the garage. They are convenient and a lot cheaper for some reason. Couldn't find a 36 mm combo wrench anywhere, so I went with a 1-7/16" when it came time to remove my rear axle...used it on the dummy end. It is nearly identical to 36 mm. Really helpful vid John.
Nice video John, you forgot to mention who makes that awesome air chuck with the two outputs. I'd like to get one but can't fine anything like it on-line.
Perfect song, I play it every time I hit 285.😎, Great tool tips. 36mm rear axle? Think I use a 18 oh but mine are 06 Wideglide & o7 st.Bob. Thx for the good vids.
Thanks for the discount code, John. Made the speaker about $15 cheaper than amazon! Hope you’re enjoying OK, I’m from there but haven’t been home in almost a year.
Awesome video John. I have been building up my tools for my garage slowly. Seems like every time I work on my bikes or buy a new part I have to go buy that tool I need. I have a Bluetooth speaker in my garage and I love it. Probably not as nice as yours. I do have the SirusXM App on my iPad which plays through the speakers. Need to try that.
Good video with great info.. Have a ?. Do you have an easy way or trick to check tire pressure or put air in the rear tire on the touring models. Specifically a 2017 Roadglide. Had a 2009 Ultra and thought they may have done something about this PIA!
Is the tool set that the dealer sales a good set to use to keep on the bike? Didn’t know if they have most of the stuff you need in them. Love the videos man keep them coming.
the black ones were sold by HD, and I got them in the parts department. While I love those, they don't make them anymore. I got the green one from Matco at Matco prices and it doesn't really work for what I use it for. It's really for screw drivers. I searched Amazon, and there are a ton of options. I'd check the reviews and choose accordingly. All the prices looked equivolent to the HD ones I bought years ago.
Ok Big John I ordered the Bluetooth receiver and I’ll wait for my tool roll! Thanks for the great vids. Headed to Hazlehurst before long maybe I can buy the shop lunch!
Love this video!! Love it! Because I, pretty much, have the same tools and I've just about gone broke buying them. ...I'm very proud of that; Because, I can perform repairs/maintenance all by myself ☺.
Great video, the swivel socket tool is nice to have for the removal of the 3 bolts to remove the speaker pods.....dumbest thing ever!....but I need a service manual 17street, they do help me to be a unprofessional!
Great info! Very efficient setup. I'd be interested to see which lubs, cleaners, polishers and such you use as well. How you deal with the dirt and bring the bling. Peace.
John, thank you for the extra video on what tools you have on and in your Cart. What would you need Duct Tape for? I saw a roll in your bottom drawer. That speaker sounds really good.
I'm having a hard time find snap ring pliers that work. I always seem to find ones that are just too big for the smaller snap rings (2018 Fatboy). Can you share a link here of the ones you use? BTW That little Kobalt socket set saved my ass during my recent tear down. its $20 at Lowe's and definitely worth it! Thanks! Keep sharing dirty thumbs!
Hi John,I would include the Torx driver (the 3 inch deep version) that fits both the saddlebags and the passenger foot peg main bracket bolt on the 2018 HC that you and I both bought this year. I would also include the spoke tool to check the spokes, but I don't know what size it is. Can you advise what size it is? I can't seem to find out and I don't want a universal "all size" wrench.
Hi John, like the video. It was great to meet you in Paris, TX on Friday night. Did you make it back to work on Monday? : ) We just made it home today at around noon. I get to go back to work tomorrow.
Great job John. I also would like to know if the tools that you can buy from Harley would be enough to get buy with? Thanks Marty Sr. Also just hit 10,000 miles on my 18 Fatboy.
Hey John! Merry Christmas! Sorry but I hate to ask but where can a get a list of all these tools build up my tool set and I wanna get the same stuff you have. Thanks
Hey John I am currently attending MMI in Orlando. I am wanting to start getting a tool list set up. In your other video about your tools you mention a cordless ratchet along with the cordless screwdriver. Do you use an adapter with the screwdriver to attach sockets? Are there any benefits the ratchet has over the screwdriver besides the angle?
awesome video John. I used to work on Huey's in the Army, so thankfully a lot of things carried over to working on my bike. Do you use a lot of crows feet?
Man, I have no idea. Probably better that I don't know. If I had to guess, counting the big box and roll cart, close to $20k. It can be done for less, and it can be done for more, but I've never looked at any of those tools and thought, "why did I buy all of this stuff?"
I know a mechanic that has almost 500,000.00 in tools and boxes. He'll have it all paid for by the time he reitires he says! lol.... Beautiful Snap On set... but dang!
Snap on discounts tools for students. That’s it. H-D didn’t help at all. Oh and the school (MMI) gives you about $600 to spend at the discounted price. Which is equal to about 1,000 retail.
@@TheHarleyTech thank you for the info. One would think that the local HD dealership would provide new employees coming off the 90 day probation, a new set of tools.
When you strip out the T27 bolt because you’re using a T25 you can then tap in a T30 to get the bolt out. Don’t ask me how I know this, but it involves a derby cover.
Tools Rule.. Thanks for your tool info. I think it's time to upgrade from my flat tool cart to a lid/drawer like yours! I would grab all the tools in need and place them on the cart then roll it to my bike/car/truck etc. When done then roll it back to my big box and put them away. So my question is... The tools on your Roll Cart, are they a second set? So you have the same tools in your big box as well? Thx John.
No, less often used tools in my big box. Air tools, grinders, giant wrenches that aren’t used often. Tap and die set, paint repair stuff. You get the drill.

Hi John, like the video. It was great to meet you in Paris, TX on Friday night. Did you make it back to work on Monday? : ) We just made it home today at around noon. I get to go back to work tomorrow.
Love the channel! And the speaker sounded great on my end. Mine is now on order!
Rocker cover allen ratchet worth its weight in gold , 30 bucks , I used a cut allen wrench for many years lol
Thx John! How about your breakin video! Lookin forward to it!
John. Is there a trick for using the t-27 torch? I have the worst luck with them. What bits do you recommend. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Where’d u get that roll cart. Seems like it’d be more convenient than a big upright tool chest for my stuff.
super cool video, great editing and shooting!
Great job John. I also would like to know if the tools that you can buy from Harley would be enough to get buy with?
Thanks Marty Sr. Also just hit 10,000 miles on my 18 Fatboy.
Love the- Full Metal Jacket - reference ! Well done and informative video . Chris from Canada Eh !
Hey John! Merry Christmas! Sorry but I hate to ask but where can a get a list of all these tools build up my tool set and I wanna get the same stuff you have. Thanks
Hey John I am currently attending MMI in Orlando. I am wanting to start getting a tool list set up. In your other video about your tools you mention a cordless ratchet along with the cordless screwdriver. Do you use an adapter with the screwdriver to attach sockets? Are there any benefits the ratchet has over the screwdriver besides the angle?
Great video, bud. Weird to see that you need metric tools to work on H-D bikes. Hmmm, interesting. Thanks!
I hate people that won't take the time to cut the tail off a zip-tie! Nice video!
awesome video John. I used to work on Huey's in the Army, so thankfully a lot of things carried over to working on my bike. Do you use a lot of crows feet?
Not a lot, but sometimes
Another awesome video John,Thanks!
Just curious , John... what would you say you personally have invested in your tools? Awesome video... love that bluetooth speaker!!
Man, I have no idea. Probably better that I don't know. If I had to guess, counting the big box and roll cart, close to $20k. It can be done for less, and it can be done for more, but I've never looked at any of those tools and thought, "why did I buy all of this stuff?"
I know a mechanic that has almost 500,000.00 in tools and boxes. He'll have it all paid for by the time he reitires he says! lol.... Beautiful Snap On set... but dang!
John another great and informative video. So, to be clear, HD did not assist, discount, the tools for your job?
Snap on discounts tools for students. That’s it. H-D didn’t help at all. Oh and the school (MMI) gives you about $600 to spend at the discounted price. Which is equal to about 1,000 retail.
@@TheHarleyTech thank you for the info. One would think that the local HD dealership would provide new employees coming off the 90 day probation, a new set of tools.
When you strip out the T27 bolt because you’re using a T25 you can then tap in a T30 to get the bolt out. Don’t ask me how I know this, but it involves a derby cover.
I figured I’d save that for a different video. Good tip, though!
Great info John. What brand tire pressure Gauge was that? Thanks
Need the clips that go on screw drivers especially for that battery removal
T-27's hold most of my Buell together..when its not torn apart...
Love the FLJ line!
Tools Rule.. Thanks for your tool info. I think it's time to upgrade from my flat tool cart to a lid/drawer like yours! I would grab all the tools in need and place them on the cart then roll it to my bike/car/truck etc. When done then roll it back to my big box and put them away. So my question is... The tools on your Roll Cart, are they a second set? So you have the same tools in your big box as well? Thx John.
No, less often used tools in my big box. Air tools, grinders, giant wrenches that aren’t used often. Tap and die set, paint repair stuff. You get the drill.
Right on thx!
