Glad you got it whipped. A little leak isn't so bad, right? My 2011 Heritage leaked a little and it is a bit newer than the Shovel. Man, I miss that bike. I need another so I can wear my Harley shirts again.
My shovels both leaked out that seal. Checked the main shaft and it was warn beyond where the seal would have done it's job. Pulled both trannys and installed new shafts and no leaks. love the way shovels look and sound. Love your shovel.
People give me shit about Shovels being notorious leakers, but my '81 doesn't leak a drop. It's all about maintenance and knowing how to spin a wrench. Great job, Red. P.S. Easy to tell your brother doesn't have roids or he wouldn't be running that seat!
I have those crystals door knobs all in my house lol. Great job maybe it will seal up better once it gets hot and cools several times. Thanks for the update ❤❤❤❤
Another successful ending in the life of the old Shovel Head!:) One thing about these old bikes, they do have such a personality! I'm glad you were able to get it back into proper operating condition and fixing the position of the shift knob. It is a beautiful Shovel with just a teensy bit of a drip! I wouldn't consider that to be a worry in the least bit anymore. Nice job! Keep wrenching, stay warm and safe in your beautiful B.C.! Peace
Congratulations on 26 thousand subscribers, been with you from the beginning,,, my 80 lowrider has been leaking cince I got it in 96. Just carried a 6 oz bottle of oil on runs. Cool scooter!
4:10 This is the Harley sound idling that I remember and liked. Sounds like it has a decent amount of cylinder compression. Should be an impressive road-runner.
Very nice work. That's definitely a beautiful bike. I love how that seat gives the bike a lower meaner appearance. Ohhh by the way...I finally managed to score a seat like that which is destined for my flh soon. 😁

Good morning 🌅, Angel, that a pity that you still got a leak , you might find it gets worse after you have ridden it , I am sorry to say, I think I said that there is a copper and rubber seal, on the shaft that goes through the drive shaft, you might of damaged the seal on the splines when you put the seal in, it is recommended to put tape around the lines this is what I had to do with mine, plus I replaced the end board bearing of the clutch housing for a Jims bearing and in a race, not sure whether there is one suitable for your bike, Keep up the great work , and yes, it’s cold out at the moment, and has been very icy in the mornings, I cannot ride at the moment as I have just had my op CTS , and it’s going to take a few months to get my strength back in my hand, but I need to have the other one done as well, ❤ from France.
Hello Red, My brother has a shovel head and it is a gem engine wise it is quite to my evo and has a lower base gasket leak so he will replace it this winter its stock with low miles and runs great, he bought it off a friend that wrecked it and bent the front forks but that was it fixed all that and it runs great he just takes it to shows and on rides local , I got my sporty all ready for next year to ride but that bike is so hopped up its a pain to ride very fare getting to old for it but enjoy my restored 1988 FLHS with the stroker engine be safe and ride free
Base gasket leaks a lot of time happen from people not letting their bike warm up before riding it. But that sounds like he got s good deal on it either way!
I don't know diddly about it personally, but I read somewhere that the old chaindrive bikes leaked out the sprocket side on purpose to oil the chain, and that you could put the seal in "backwards" to stop the leak and just oil the chain yourself.
on my old shovel pan, there was an adjustment on the oil pump to increase or decrease the flow of oil to the primary, just a little screw on top of the pump I think. So its good to mke sure you only have what you really need flowing to the primary to reduce leakage
Hi, just started watching your vids and love them. Is that a breather behind your primary? Don’t you get an electric shock when you start your bike that way? Love the bike !
Mainshafts leak much more when they are rotating, so you cant test it sitting still. You need to ride it a few miles until the shaft and seal are hot, then park.
Well it leaked a lot more before when the bike was just sitting. Haven't taken it on the road yet because of how badly it was leaking. But yes, I see what you're saying 👍
Seems as though the most logical fix would completely solve the problem, but alas, there is Harley Davidson, always at our side to disprove matters! Side note: my EVO Sportster has never leaked a drop. Go figure. Short video tonight but well-appreciated. Merry Christmas, Angel!
Ok, admittedly, 'cold' means something completely different in Canada. I'm at work standing outside at 7 deg Celsius at sea level and I'm fine in a sweater but the guy I'm working with is wearing a parka and crying about how cold it is. He's Indo Canadian and he was born here. It's about 5 deg Celsius colder where Red is only 100 miles away but her elevation is higher.
A great starter start button... I don't like a lot of wires.. However, I myself am not without sin, the devil himself will cry in the wiring of my motorcycle..😂
Being Canadian, I don't know anything about egg production in the USA. A guy I worked with who grew up on an egg farm told me the only difference in eggs had nothing to do with what's on the package as no chicken sees daylight. What it actually indicated was the type of food they get and there for higher price for the eggs.
Avon Safety Master MK 11. Both are rear tires but on the front we have the directional arrow reversed... Some people don't like doing that, but my dad has done that for years with no issues.
They have a much better cut off switch at Princess auto, the part you turn is like a key you can remove it so it also doubles as an anti theft feature.
That leak is probably from the Long bushing on the main drive gear being worn. Rap’s Garage Shop Harley Tips and Tricks for 4 speed transmission tech specs ruclips.net/video/TmIQmQ8iE_c/видео.html

Love the starter kill switch. I had a starter run away on one of my previous Glides.
l did the same thing on my 2 85 Evo Softails starter solenoid & also used a feeler gauge.. work's a treat... Cheers Red....

I had a 76 shovel. I eliminated three oil lines to the primary had it for 21 years. The only place that leak was from the drain plug,
Beautiful shovel, master disconnect awesome idea and relay delete, tell your brother Ray's spacer should solve the leak entirely
Nice to see you rocking the toad hoodie 😀
😁👍
Youll be ok! Lots of good role models in your life. God bless

Thanks Phil. Hopefully your hands are healed up enough by spring!!
Your dad's bike is such a sweet setup, you can build one for me if you want, I dig it! Your brother is a lucky dude.
Yea my bro is pretty excited about this haha
5:45
PLAN on taking it apart again Red🤣
Naw, all kidding aside you're a 'not bad' mechanic👍And that bike sounds really good👍
😄
I don’t think I’ve seen your dads bike together? I think it turned out very nice, what a great stance it has.
Sweet music from that shovel.
Yep 😌
Ah yes! Nothing like the sound of a Shovelhead, shoveling, po-ta-toes! Great vid!!
😌
A kill switch on a motorcycle, what a great idea. i am surprised that I did not come up with it myself. Thank you.
That is a beautiful bike! Reminds me of my 1st Harley only mine was two tone Cadillac red and white. Never should have sold it 😢.
Sounds like it was a nice bike!!
Hello Angel,,, nice shovel !! You did good! ❤
Appreciate it!
Love shovel headmotor,watching from Los Angeles, Great Video.
Love the lines of the bike so classy wonder if white walls tires would make it pop more awesome job red! ❤

Nice looking Bike. I don't like a foot clutch and short shifter myself but a lot younger people do . Good looking front end .
We'll see how I like it I guess lol
That is a nice looking bike!
It's a beauty!
Love the FL shovelhead
Sweet scooter! Stay warm!
Thanks!
Check to make sure the transmission is vented correctly and not stopped up.
If not vented pressure forms as the tranny oil warms up and its got to go somewhere.
I okay rebuilt it and the vent was clear when it went back together
@@RedRiderCanadaBC That's good, I will scratch that off the checklist. Hope the leak is done with. Love your videos
I like the look of it. Sanitary and elegant.
Yes 👍
The shovel came up well ' nice work ''
Yesterday in South West Michigan it was 11-F which is -11-C here I wore my sweat pants under my Insulated Carhart Bib Overalls
That bike is perfecto! Great style.
😎
Looks almost exactly like my black '82 except I had the cop seat with the skirt.About a $100 from your local h-d dealer
Yea the seat isn't gonna stay on this. My brother will have to find one that he likes.
Sweet bike just like us old guys love
Beautiful.
The bike is nice too
Awesome bike... I had 73 electric glide i rode before having kids.
How did somebody leave a comment before the video was posted?
It was visible to channel members before it was public.

Merry Christmas Angel. Quik ? That external breather/ filter mounted below the back of the primary, trans breather or crankcase?
Don't give up red I've been making them not leak for 50 years

Least I wasn’t the only one wondering where this comment came from. 🤔
Hard to beat a shovelhead for looks,simplicity and elegance but they are for the mechanically inclined only!
Can anyone tell my what brand of tires are on that bike
