SHOVELS RULE! 1966-1984! The timing/points cover I gave you as a present, that you're running on Your Shovel now...I've got one for your Dad's Shovel, also. Angel if you and Dad are interested I'll mail it right out. Hi to you and yours.
The bike has got a points cover on it, but I am not sure if its staying on there or not haha. And I love the one you sent me for my bike!! Better than the cheap black on I had on there lol.
Oh yea,you have to train yourself to lean to the right when you come to a stop just in case you can’t find neutral in time for the stop! Gonna be fun!👍
Harley Davidson used to have a lot of Reliability Problems because of a poor wiring Job. HD was the last brand to use weatherproof sockets like Automotive has used for many years such as Weather Pak Connectors ect. I think Weather Pak is made by GM Delphi. The plugs are rather bulky for motorcycles. I wired a whole FWD Truck. Stock it had only 16 GA wiring. I had a simple hand crimper took and dipped the bare copper wire in Dialectric grease. A few years later I had a lot of electrical issues.. my crimps were not tight enough . I have since got a much better crimper. It's best to solder but that takes a lot of time. I mostly just solder 00 battery cable wires for trucks, loaders and cranes ect. I crimp first than put the terminal upside down in the bench vise and solder it too .
Excellent; I especially appreciate the simplification of the starter circuit; eliminating the starter solenoid & switch is cool. Using a feeler gage as a momentary switch is totally hillbilly ingenious! Great job, guys; very cool project! 😘✌🏼 Catch ya on the flip side. marcus
Yes a Master cut off switch is a very good idea. A stuck solenoid can do more than burn up a starter. It can melt battery cables which can start a fire or and melt the batteries which can start a fire. The Murphey Diesel Engine in my crane uses a Delco 50 MT Starter. It has a manual lever you pull on at the starter as opposed to any Solenoids. I don't know what a 50 MT weighs , but a much smaller 40 MT weighs 75 pounds. I had a Generator rebuilt and I installed a new Regulator. the points in the Regulator stuck and I didn't know it. It drained two brand new 8D batteries totally died and reined them The batter cables ect go so hot they didn't look very good. Thus I had to buy two new batteries that way back when were $130.00 each well over $200 each today .. I had to pay another $500.00 to have the generator rebuilt again and I had to buy a new external Regulator. THEN I INSTALLED A MASTER CUT OFF SWITCH TOO! I think it is a Cole Hersey rated at 1,800 amps .. which is what you need to start trucks and loaders ect.
never found a set of HD pipes OE or aftermarket that fit. Huge respect to Reds pop; neat work. ps none of those red/yellow wiring connectors, all stripped and black shrink wrapped. The devil's in the detail ; like a boss.
I love the old "Chargers" where you can switch from 6 volts to 12 volts (they also often have a "Booster" function - to start the engine if your battery is dead), and the most important thing is the presence of a rheostat for manual current adjustment (A) because it is not worth charging the battery with a large amount current, if you want the battery to last you a long time.
Looks great guys you and your dad should definitely be pleased with how she’s turning out. I have a cheap set of drag pipes I’ve been wanting to make a 2 into 1 system with a muffler. So I don’t bother my neighbors early on weekend mornings. My wife called me a sissy and told me they aren’t worried about us when they start cutting the grass at 8:00 am on Saturday mornings. Actually she didn’t call me a sissy it was something else but I wanted to be respectful. You guys take care and ride safe.
You're an artist and a mechanic. I assume you get that from your dad. Love the black pipes! Way easier to keep nice. Just repaint them each winter. Last bike I had with black pipes was my 1983 Willie G. Special. I really miss that bike.
Good project with you and your dad. Good to see completed bike. Looks like you have learned much from your dad, and he seems to be a very capable teacher. Have fun and ride safe!
The skills you exhibit are generally unobtainable in the hum drum everyday world and are generally acquired through mixing years of training on many car, bike & machinery types. To be cherished forever. Awesome work!. Who did the Red RIder drawing? You? There's another skill. 🤩😁 Rock on chook. 8^)
I love it, your must be very proud and very happy at this point. You have built what was in your dad's mind as the bike he wants to ride. You are amazing lady. My hat is off to you Angle, your dad has taught you well. I know he helped you but that bike has Angle all over it. 😊Peace ✌
Hi Angel, It's so fun watching you grow as a builder since I 1st started watching your channel. Props to you dad! She's going to be a master builder in no time! Keep up the great work kiddo!😊
I was going to suggest to just grind down the welds a little to make them look nicer, looks like you figured that out. I have two MIG welders. One has 0.045 wire and CO2 gas for welding things like loader and crane buckets and one that has 0.030 wire and 75% Argon and 25% C02 for welding thin stuff and having nicer looking welds. I also have straight Argon for Stainless ect. I used to pay $10.00 for 50# of C02. C02 goes liquid at about 900 PSI thus you get a huge volume of Liquid and a tank lasts forever. where as if you have 2200 PSI of gas in a tank it does not last very long because it's just compressed gas.
@@RedRiderCanadaBC Before I had my own MIG welder , I used my friends MIG welder to modify the gas tank on my 1977 Honda CR-125 that I put the 4 stroke motor in . I had to cut circles out of the bottom of the tank to clear the 4 stroke head. Then I cut and raised the top of the tank for more capacity. It didn't look very pretty because my friend had a body shop so he just used C02 because he always grinds his welds. I had some pin hole leaks and I patched them with "All Metal" Bondo , it's still not leaking 40 years later. The engine has no spark and I wanted to replace with a CDI Ignition. I finally figured out why CDI is not readily available for the Honda SL-125 motor 1971 Vintage.
Good morning 🌅, Angel and Dad, O and FatCat , 😂, As always great looking 👀 Bike, and you of course 😂, would the starter button get hot , might be worth putting a rubber button on it, so you don’t burn your fingers, I love that fish 🐟 tail pipe, and sounds great, Stay safe, look 👀 forward to seeing Shovel Fest , France.
@@RedRiderCanadaBC Good morning 🌅, Angel, I hope you are all keeping safe and well, I have just seen on the news that there as been a very large landslide, blocking one of the large rivers, it was in BC , keep safe, France.
@@RedRiderCanadaBC I used to use a screwdriver or spanna ( wrench ) to cross contact the terminals on my starters if the solenoid ever shat itself. 👍🏼👍🏼
The "Fishtail"- exhaust pipe is a beautiful, good solution. Your video motivates me to finally buy a welding machine and become a real man who can cook metal😂
Hello little red biker nice video, detailed,......I personally don't think much of the manifold dampers,......you shouldn't taper the exhaust cross section from 1 3/4"...I don't know if it's legal in Canada is. ...I would choose the old OEM 65231-65 A silencers, they have a good sound and still have a lot of throughput.......................and the cat is a blast ;))
As per usual, I learn so much and love so much from your videos! SOOOO grateful for your filming and narration and bike crafting skills! It’s going to make me very sad when NASA calls you guys go to work for them as CHIEF CONSULTANTS and DESIGNERS! But at least I’ll get to watch your SUPER SHOVELHEAD ROCKETS soar over my house down here….
What I got out of this one is one can adapt many functions to better access the controls that run the bike as well create distinctive looks. Plus it's as if we all have connections with Bikes
@@RedRiderCanadaBC forgot too mention the disconnect for the battery, that’s really smart… from experience having a solonoid stick is definitely an ahhh shit moment…
Very nice work. Was that a sardine can I saw in the carburetor rebuild section? Do you have any information on that seat on your dad's bike? I'd like to get one like that for my flh. Also thank you for showing me that little trick with the feeler guage on the starter. I'll definitely be making that modification on both of my shovels. Congratulations on a job well done on your dad's bike. I'm sure his smile was just as big when his bike fired up for the first time after all of that work you guys put into it. 😊
Smart move on the master kill Tons of work grinding the pipe welds especially on the inside joins Was the WG triple tree rake a different angle? Looks FL now
The rubber mount FL triple tree cannot be used on an FX chassis because they have a different rake angle. The earlier solid mount FL has the same triple tree as the FX, other than the mounts that my dad added.
Dearest -Looks like a beautiful bike - I love the pipe work, but simple question The pipe on the forward cylinder looks like it will heat up your crankcase , and also the rear pipe looks like it will heat up your drive train in both cases you will burn more engine and transmission oil(s)? - I do not know your engine technology, but am I incorrect? btw: I had rebuilt Babes, and then Beauty's carbs recently. Babe takes off like a Rocket. Beauty should be on par if not faster as having open headers and Babe has the original stock exhaust. Both use pods, same jets and basically the same engines - Beautiful's accelerator pump does not appear to deliver as needed under throttle demand - so I figure Ill just take the carbs out once again and replace its diaphragm and spring which I have extra's - just another 6-8 hours of tinkering -
@@RedRiderCanadaBC I was just belly aching about the carbs as just recently rebuilt that set just after I had to do Babe's - Beauty has had some changes from stock, so first I had to tune to rid her of back fires once increasing CFM via PODS, and replacing the burnt out stock 70lb exhaust with a 10 lb header that is very loud in being straight thru. So with all those things accounted for I had paid special attention to cleaning out the carbs' ducts and airways. In the accelerator pump, there is a spring loaded rubber diaphragm that I should of replaced considering the existing one is about 45 years old? Now why I was so hasty as in fixing Babes, in assuming Beauty's would also work, was a dumb move on my part. So Ill fix it as its worth about another 20 hp - where Beauty should be able to hit over 100hp when tuned properly - Soon ! btw: Babe is now starting to look 'Beautiful' too! -
Angel, the bike turned out looking great, and I'm sure that the EOT is very proud of how it turned out. What did everyone think about it at Shovelfest? When you were disassembling it to put in y'alls wiring harness, I noticed that you were kinda struggling with the rear tire to get it out, is that not a hinged rear fender? I thought that earlier during the build that I had noticed the hinge and wondered why you weren't using it while taking the wheel assembly out, but I could have been wrong though. I wanted to warn you about that battery cut off switch, too, because I've bought several different electrical components from TEMU thinking that for the price and what I was using them for, I'd give them a try and I learned my lesson. I've had their switches break internally to where the poles of the switches break off and they don't make contact to interrupt the circuit and I've had them also not stop at their lock position for off and on to where the knob just continuesly spins around or vibrates out of the position, so keep an eye on it! Another thing, if Bill decides that he would like to put a set of original 72 bags, trunk, and the complete windshield on it I have the complete setup with the keys and hardware he can have if he just pays for the shipping or if you're down this way we can meet up and you can take them back with you. I don't need them for mine, if I need the dresser I use the Ultra Classic. Keep the throttle twisted and the rubber side down babe TX Ted 72 Shovelhead
@RedRiderCanadaBC on my 72 you just take those back 2 bolts out of the chrome strip that runs down each side of the fender and as long as you made the wiring harness for the taillight long enough it folds right up so I can roll the tire out. Unless there was some bracket that was removed for the rear signal bar to originally bolt to by the guy that originally owned it prior to me. That hinged fender was supposed to make it easier to get the wheel off on the side of the road incase of emergencies. I'll double check under mine to see if I can see if I can tell what you're talking about and I'll also look in the original Harley Davidson Parts Catalog that I found at a swap meet with all of the original numbers in it that even my local dealership doesn't have that whenever I need a part they use those numbers to cross reference with.
I don't know much about the Harley Davidson brand, but tell me guys: 8:15 Is this the central hole in the frame for the Frog seat like on the old Panhead and Knucklehead motorcycles?
@@RedRiderCanadaBC That's cool! I love these seats, they are quite comfortable. Two separate Frog seats were installed on my motorcycle from the factory. But over the years, they naturally fell into disrepair and I changed them to one solid seat (corny- a solid seat is much cheaper).
Hey Red is that a ty-175 or 250?..I keep seeing it in the back ground....I put a lever starter on my shovel, works light years better that stock(cool as hell) and if you want i can send you pics and my simple rewiring for it. No relay needed...KISS.(keep it simple stupid).lol.....Rusty, from Grand forks .
Oh man, there are so many cheap and lazy designs on these old Harleys it ridiculous. No wonder they have struggled to stay in business for so long! And yea, I don't get why S&S did these motors and didn't fix that about the heads.
I love watching old school bikers build their own rides, your Dad must be very proud because his daughter is a super cool biker girl.

That battery cut off appears to be a 100A unit at least from what I can find
It's 250 amp according to the description on the website where we got it from.
Very impressive Red when are you opening up for business and how far are you from Maine lol.
Hahaha
Angel, the bike turned out looking great, and I'm sure that the EOT is very proud of how it turned out. What did everyone think about it at Shovelfest? When you were disassembling it to put in y'alls wiring harness, I noticed that you were kinda struggling with the rear tire to get it out, is that not a hinged rear fender? I thought that earlier during the build that I had noticed the hinge and wondered why you weren't using it while taking the wheel assembly out, but I could have been wrong though. I wanted to warn you about that battery cut off switch, too, because I've bought several different electrical components from TEMU thinking that for the price and what I was using them for, I'd give them a try and I learned my lesson. I've had their switches break internally to where the poles of the switches break off and they don't make contact to interrupt the circuit and I've had them also not stop at their lock position for off and on to where the knob just continuesly spins around or vibrates out of the position, so keep an eye on it! Another thing, if Bill decides that he would like to put a set of original 72 bags, trunk, and the complete windshield on it I have the complete setup with the keys and hardware he can have if he just pays for the shipping or if you're down this way we can meet up and you can take them back with you. I don't need them for mine, if I need the dresser I use the Ultra Classic.
Keep the throttle twisted and the rubber side down babe

My dad would be interested in knowing the shipping on the tour pack! Can you email me : redrider.canada.bc@gmail.com
And yes, the fender is hinged but it has some kind of brackets in there that keep it bolted solid and they are a pain to get out with the tire in lol.
@RedRiderCanadaBC on my 72 you just take those back 2 bolts out of the chrome strip that runs down each side of the fender and as long as you made the wiring harness for the taillight long enough it folds right up so I can roll the tire out. Unless there was some bracket that was removed for the rear signal bar to originally bolt to by the guy that originally owned it prior to me. That hinged fender was supposed to make it easier to get the wheel off on the side of the road incase of emergencies. I'll double check under mine to see if I can see if I can tell what you're talking about and I'll also look in the original Harley Davidson Parts Catalog that I found at a swap meet with all of the original numbers in it that even my local dealership doesn't have that whenever I need a part they use those numbers to cross reference with.

Keep it simple...ever page matter's
I don't know much about the Harley Davidson brand, but tell me guys: 8:15 Is this the central hole in the frame for the Frog seat like on the old Panhead and Knucklehead motorcycles?
Yes, you’re right 👍
@@RedRiderCanadaBC That's cool! I love these seats, they are quite comfortable. Two separate Frog seats were installed on my motorcycle from the factory. But over the years, they naturally fell into disrepair and I changed them to one solid seat (corny- a solid seat is much cheaper).
Curious? Why such thin seats… I have to have some couch with the bounce
That seat isn't staying on it was just the quickest to fir for now.
Love it
😁
Was that bike finished when you had it at shovel fest ? 😘
As finished as it is in this video, yep.
Yes I saw that after I finished watching the video...was your dad with you at the shovel fest ?

Hey Red is that a ty-175 or 250?..I keep seeing it in the back ground....I put a lever starter on my shovel, works light years better that stock(cool as hell) and if you want i can send you pics and my simple rewiring for it. No relay needed...KISS.(keep it simple stupid).lol.....Rusty, from Grand forks .

That one bolt exhaust flange on shovels is one of the cheapest designs things I've everseen
Oh man, there are so many cheap and lazy designs on these old Harleys it ridiculous. No wonder they have struggled to stay in business for so long! And yea, I don't get why S&S did these motors and didn't fix that about the heads.
Where is TINY 🥲
He's here! End of video
Yo Red, where are the sisters when you need them? 💕✌️😘♥️😎🇺🇸
