+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.
A lot of people when bringing up the topic of US built content in HD refer to the Showa forks saying they're made in Japan. Hasn't been true since 1997.
The Sunbury, Ohio plant was established in November 1986 under the name of Sunbury Component Industries. In April 1994 Sunbury Component Industries, Blanchester FCM and Showa American merged to form American Showa, Inc.American Showa Sunbury plant and the Head Office division are located at 707 W. Cherry St., Sunbury, Ohio on 39 acres with a floor space of 251,101 sq. ft. The Sunbury plant manufactures suspension and steering components for the transportation industry including automotive, motorcycle, and All-Terrain Vehicles. Its' operations include assembly, welding, cathodic electro-static painting, and in-line spring installation and testing.Mass production of the Honda Civic shock absorbers began in August 1988. The following year in September the Honda Accord shock absorber models were added. In the 1990's American Showa grew in sales with new customers, Suzuki, Subaru, Mitsubishi Motor Manufacturing, Yamaha, and Kawasaki. Additional models for Honda included the Acura and Odyssey. In 1991 inventory of Harley Davidson motorcycle front forks and rear shock absorbers made at Showa, in Japan was held at the Sunbury Plant until their mass production start in 1997. www.amshowa.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2&Itemid=94
The Denso starter used in HD and many automotive applications?Made by Denso North America in Maryville TN.

Honda Goldwings were built in Marysville, Ohio for almost 30 years.
Brian Laraby. thanks for the heads up on that very interesting..
good point!
Do you know the cross reference part # for the starter? Years ago a guy told me he got a starter for his Shovelhead at NAPA.
All Harley wheels even the brand new ones say made in China inside the rims....i don't care. I have over 200k road miles on Harleys
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.
@@starkruzen any recommendations on what jack?
Get a lift and save your back and yourself from crawling around on the ground. I did and I don’t regret it one bit!!!
John, you forgot about the most important tool!
I can't do any work until I've had my cup of coffee, the most important tool of everyday.
😉
+1
That’s because your addicted 😉
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!
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.
Hey john I just bought my first Harley Saturday, it’s a sportster 48. I plan to do what I can on my bike. So thanks for the basic tools I need.
Gotta love the 12 point 10mm on front brakes. That socket has its own spot in my drawer
Of all the tools you showed us that floor lift is the best. OMG!! Never saw one actually work and that was very cool!!
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.
Genius! I like that a lot!
Can't wait till November 26 I'm going to MMI in Phoenix Arizona to be a Harley Davidson mechanic and seen a lot of his videos
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!
I’m building my shop! Can’t wait to be set up completely
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.
The new bagger John has a minimalists view. Kind a like our favorite Harley mechanic in Georgia!
Thank you John, because of you, Ik now what a Torx screw/bits are. It was pretty important for a mod I did on my bike :D
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.
I think we have a 1 7/16 wrench floating around the shop for the same reason.
I've been using the larger HF roll cart in a Kenworth dealer for over three years. You won't be disappointed.
Harbor Freight one works great for me.
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!
I really wish this was written on a list
I have that SAME Kove speaker. It is phenomenal!!!
That wireless bluetooth speaker sounded sweet over my TV speakers. Clear and no vibration or crackle. Add that one to the wish list :)
Thanks for all of your work with these videos.
I carry the same knife too. The Link's are awesome for the money.
Thanks brotha I'll be getting more t27s in my box
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!
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.
Love those Grips on the peg board.
Hey john I love your videos and information and congratulations on your new shop !
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!
Thanks for the discount code, just purchased a speaker.
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!
Nice speaker John thank you for helping out on picking more tools out great job keep them coming
Its no surprise that Harley mechanics have the biggest and best tool kits.
This was a helpful video...not unlike the rest of the videos you make. Thanks! Love the channel!
Awesome videos and now my stupid question what do harley stores do with dented or damaged parts
Hey John come visit Upper Michigan, I work for Helicopter manufacturing company , tour the place
Come see how we do what we do
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.
It's one that Harley Davidson sells on their website.
Rocker cover allen ratchet worth its weight in gold , 30 bucks , I used a cut allen wrench for many years lol
love the shop tool suggestions.
Thanks, just ordered the speaker via your link!
There are Tools made in Europe called Sonic .. They sell tool kits for Brand specific repairs.. The neat thing is there is an organizer that has a spot for every tool .. Otherwise I would stick with American made grands like Armstrong Craftsman ect I have been buying Industrial brand tools for 1/3 the price as Snap on same quality ..
I hate people that won't take the time to cut the tail off a zip-tie! Nice video!
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.
Awesome vid great content. you and your channel rock . Peace and be safe out there.
super cool video, great editing and shooting!
Love the channel! And the speaker sounded great on my end. Mine is now on order!
A 6" adjustable wrench. The original American Metric wrench. It'll fill in for you till you spring for metric wrench sets.
exactly!
The mega boom by UE is awesome speaker.
Gonna show us your big box? OK, I'm in
My 2016 Harley Trike's emergency/parking brake stopped engaging. Can you show me how to troubleshoot it? Please
John what size torque wrenches do we need to work on newer touring bikes…ft-lb and in-lb
Love the content
Love the- Full Metal Jacket - reference ! Well done and informative video . Chris from Canada Eh !
Awesome thanks for the up load
Need the clips that go on screw drivers especially for that battery removal
Hey John I haven't seen ya for a while. I see ya got a few more subs, good on ya br .. You still riding that same peace af cheet! Kiddn. N ice scoot, bra. See yall on the road
Nice man
I was disappointed when I heard how much Harley techs make when you look at how much Harley charges.
So work at H-D, learn everything you can, open a shop, charge 75% of what H-D does and boom you’re makin $$$$$
Great video, bud. Weird to see that you need metric tools to work on H-D bikes. Hmmm, interesting. Thanks!
I also have my main tools in my rolling tool box.
There Is a question left, would you give your bike to this man for a Service ?
Thanks John. Great info!
Thoughts on motorcycle lifts vs motorcycle jacks? trying to decide if the extra 400 for a full lift is worth it.
Did you go for it in the end?
@@Alfie_Gale as of yet, no. Just cant validate the extra cost.
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 use duct tape to re tape boxes of take off parts and mark the customers name on them. And to shut travis up...
Great stuff John! Good informative stuff so I subbed. Looking forward with more tutor and other stuff 👍👍
JBL Flip 3 - dual subs - loud!
$20 bucks cheaper than discounted Kove.
ratings on Amazon, compare the 2.
good vid man. thx.
Kershaw! Great Choice!
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.
Hey John, way cool vlog,man that is a lot of tools just amazing.👍😃
Thanks, John. Would you please provide more specifics on the magnetic tool holders you use on the lid of the cart?
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.
Harbor Frieght
Been watching for a while, your videos make me moist, thanks bro 🤘🏻
Heard that the GI Bill pays for MMI or most of it, but ROI is not there...
But are the tools a part of the tuition or acquired they time?
doesnt the harley tool kit that comes with stock bike nearly brake down the entire bike???i have been suprised but what this small but important tool kit can do
John, great video! Any tips on how to save some money as you're building up a good set of tools?
hi brother just what to know all the great point on my 2012 ultra classic limited thanks love you channel
John I own a 2001 Fatboy I have been told that you have to run a hard rubber tire on the front is there any truth to this why I would not know
Hey John wanted to ask you a question regarding my 2015 ultra limited
Is there a problem with the water pumps on this bike I bought it with 7367 miles on it and I have put 11000 miles on it and now iam having a cooling problem with it
So the total mileage is 18637miles
Can you help me with some advice on this and will Harley stand behind on this bike??
I took my bike in today for the 1000 mile service and they suggested I have the spokes on the wheels checked. He said it is normal to do on every service interval. Is this true? Seems excessive to me. Thanks.
John great video.. I have been looking at roll carts..but the one you have is the what I had in mind..where did you get this one at..
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.
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!
Snap ring pliers set that will hold up. But not break the bank?
I have a set of "Irwin" snap ring pliers that have an interchangeable head. They've got about 10 handlebar controls on them, no issues. Believe I spent around $20-$25 on them from Lowes
S•K is the best snap ring pliers other than snapon
I have channel lock brand ones with replaceable tips that have held up well so far.
Hey what about a bike lift?
What about the lathe, milling machine and surface grinder?
What kinda seat was that on the police bike ??.
Good job man..
Where’d u get that roll cart. Seems like it’d be more convenient than a big upright tool chest for my stuff.
For those rounded screws....what do you suggest to get the stripped bolts out?
a lot of times I can hammer a torx bit into them. or an Allen that is bigger than original. most times if it's a standard Allen, I can use a metric Allen in place of it.
Is it possible to break it down in writing so I can buy it all at the same time? Thanks!
Left handed screwdrivers and metric adjustable wrenches are must have loaner tools. It helps separate the pros from the wannabees. Go ask some Harbor Freight clerks to help you find them for Ss&Gs.
Hey in your shop do they require safety toe or steel toe boots/shoes
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.
Ya man nailed it..!!
Nice video, thanks. But where can you buy the official service manuals in Europe? They don't sell them at the dealers overhere...
3:42 I started to hear the Jyllenhaal speech from Jarhead... :-P
how about all the harley specific tools? ive seen them online for sale but considering the prices ill just be making them myself
Hey what do you use to take the valve cover Allen head bolts out on Evo's
Sounds good to me !!!
Could you cover how you check spoke tightness during a routine service? Thanks brother.
I second that lol
Tap the spokes with a wrench. The tone of the sound they make should all be the same. If one is dull, its loose.
