Oh my God. I feel like I’ve been transformed back to the mid to late 70’s. I feel 20 years old again. Watching you kick her made my right leg hurt. I developed “the Sportster strut” back when I had my 75. What a great looking bike. If only she could talk. Ride safe.
I have my dads 1970 xlch Had a Weber two barrel, could never keep it running. So I put a s and s e type on 3400 miles later, the jug bolts snapped, rebuilt it and haven’t really rode it since.. love the sound on those motors.
Yes that thing is enviable. I have a '70 with Mikuni carb, similar seat; rebuilding the engine off the frame. It will sound a bit like this beautiful dinosaur~~
I’m surprised to see a new style rectifier on it instead of an old delco remy type… does it still have the original style generator ? Generator produces dc, rectifier usually goes with alternator and ac, rectifying the ac
He said it was a Webber carburetor i thought. I have an S and S two throat carburetor you guys need. I had it on a 79 iron head. One thing that you may or may not know. Sportster kick-starters will screw your knee up. They're not like a big twin. They will fall straight through when you kick them a lot. This will hyper extend your knee. It will try to bend the wrong way. This usually happens when you've kicked it a while and all ur friends are ready to go. Did I mention that it will make you roll around on the ground screaming like a girl in front of everyone. I've seen it happen numerous times back in the day. Something you probably won't see anymore cause everyone has a p***y button and don't know what a kick-start is. BTW. Old bikers with kick only Hard tails are your hard core bikers. We can fixem on the fly and know some old tricks we learned from older dudes. Just my thoughts. You guys remind me of myself. I got my 1st sportster when I was 19 and I'm still going. I hope you guys have as much fun as I have growing up on a Harley.
@@kellyballard1773 One guy I saw on the inet put a 4x4 or such block of wood on the ground at the bottom of the kick stroke to keep his foot from extending too far and blowing out his knee. Seemed to work.
Ohh Man an ol' CH... The only thing I do not like is that girder front end I have known a few people including myself that have been through that Girder Wobble, Shake
Same here mines 58 iron head with a invader wheels,girder, hard tail threw a friend off into a ditch after rebuilding it a year to the day after threw me on the right side of the road. Still in the building today anybody know what causes that besides WTFO?
The Weber looks cool, but I don’t think the engine likes it. Too much air volume without enough velocity. It goofs up fuel atomization. It might start and run a lot better if you completely ‘dummy’ off one side of that carb.

Love the rake. I'm getting inspired.
The VW back up lite doesn't even light up the night. KILLER.
It's about time someone bought this I've seen it a 100 times and thought about geting it.
I would , if I didn’t have an Ironhead . It’s bloody wicked.
Great sound 👌
that thing is sick
whoaa thats sick , love it
GORGEOUS! Love me a survivor. My iron rips hard.... when it wants to run nice. Lol
Make no mistake, this is a *business machine*

sounds like a beast
Really dig it.
that looks like a old Arlen Ness Bar Hopper from the 70s
I would like a seat like that. Any links?
Great bike.
John Harmon; he built internal spring girder front ends. After that idk; Arlen, donnie, and Paul did longer lower frames.
nostalgia cycle !

It has an alternator you can see it spin when they’re on the b side
Lose the Mufflers. Keep the Del'Orto carb and the girder front end. That's a rolling piece of history.

That carb setup is overkill. I dont think those things ever really worked that well. I'd find a bendix or mikuni.
