@richardschaffling9882 Thanks I appreciate you watching it really is a beautiful bike.

@b-man569 I feel like it some days but no I didn't, have had some medical stuff put me back though. I'll try to get a video out here sooner than later. I appreciate you watching!

Thanks for the update...appreciate it man I'll b waiting around

If it's an 84 Sportster you have an Ironhead engine. Thanks for watching!

@@jfrost77hd That was quick, thank's for the answer, now i finally know. Would you also be so kind to give me a short explanation for it about what's the easiest to spot indicator for the differenz is?

@Matze96DAK An Ironheads pushrod tubes will be up and down with a lifter block designated for each tube making 4 blocks. Where as a Shovelheads pushrod tubes kinda cross at the base and the front cylinder tubes share a block as do the rear cylinder tubes share a block making only 2 lifter blocks instead of 4 like the Ironhead.

@@jfrost77hd Aah, thank ya very much, that is indeed a very easy to spot indicator, if you know it. AlRIDE than, wish ya a good weekstart and safe rides in the near and far future.

@rheidtech Hey buddy, hope you've been doing good! I'm alright just had some medical setbacks, still trying to figure everything out. I sure hope tomorrow is the rebirth of our nation too 🇺🇲👍

@loganboyer8816 The starter won't spin until the solenoid pulls pushing the bendix gear out. If you hear something spinning and nothing happening it's the bendix gear.

@@jfrost77hd I've replaced the bendix gear. On my 3rd aluminum starter case. Pivot fork. Solenoid. 2nd starter motor. 2 different batteries. Exact same result. Just spinning. No engagement.

Is there a starter ring gear on the clutch basket itself or real bad chewed up teeth. The kickstart only clutch baskets have no ring gear at all. That bendix gear should free spin one direction and lock up the other direction.

@@jfrost77hd bendix gear locks up in the correct direction and spins in the correct direction. There are no bad teeth anywhere. Everything looks healthy. I'm genuinely puzzled. I've had 2 veteran harley techs over to look at it. Had the primary off 3 times. Nothing looks out of place or damaged. But the engine is not cranking over. Only the starter spinning. And the engine isn't tight. 128 psi of compression per cylinder. Healthy compression hiss when pushed in gear.

@loganboyer8816 Does the starter housing have the brass washer pressed into the housing where the needle bearing goes for the starter shaft. Do you have the big brass thrust washer on the other end of the shaft before you put the cover on? I have a cut away cover that's helpful to hold the starter shaft in while you crank to see what's going on. If you're careful, with the cover off you can use a larger screwdriver to hold pressure of the starter shaft so it doesn't kick it out completely while you crank it over so you can kinda watch to see what's going on or binding. Just be careful messing around if you have the battery hooked up and cover off not to lose a finger. Don't fiddle around in there with your fingers, if you manually engage the solenoid and it does grab and crank over... I know someone who lost fingers that way.

@davidson2004fatboy Hey buddy, I apologize I know it's been awhile. I've had some medical issues set me back, I'll have to make a video sooner or later about it. I appreciate you checking in on me, I hope you've been doing good!

@@jfrost77hd 👍👍🙏🙏💜💜❤❤

@ontrixurite2606 Sorry but this bikes long gone I made this video over 6 years ago. Thanks for watching though.

@strokerwatson4770 Hey buddy, sorry I know it's been awhile. I've had some medical issues set me back, I'll probably just have to make a video letting everyone know sooner or later. I appreciate you checking in on me, I hope you've been doing good!

Hope your ok bro 🇬🇧

It is, thanks for watching!

@@nickpasch1019 What are you talking about?

@@jfrost77hd the rubber stopper for the trans oil fill originally had a steel dipstick inserted into it. If the stopper was fixed by the previous owner by pulling the dipstick out of the rubber stopper you are golden. If the dipstick is still in the stopper it is very bad. The dipstick will vibrate and rub against the primary drive gear. This will grind the dipstick in the middle into steel powder in the trans oil, Eventually the grinding will grind the dipstick in half and drop the bottom half into the trans gears. It happens in less than 1,000 miles from new. Checking the trans oil for steel powder is important, the powder will spoil the ball bearings.

​@nickpasch1019 Wow, yeah that'd be bad. Thanks for the clarification I didnt know that. I no longer have the bike but hopefully your comment helps save someone in the future. Thanks for watching!

@RealMJSr Thanks I appreciate you watching it really is a nice bike. I was fortunate to find a matching 75 XLH exactly like it but electric start only.

That’s awesome, agree with you on the color too. Love the blue. I haven’t rode in some years but looking to get back on again.

@waynemurphy8552 Thanks I appreciate it, I need to dig it out it's been parked a couple years.

Thanks it really is a dream to own, it's mind blowing how nice and original everything is. I appreciate you watching.

@@jfrost77hd I get it, I have one just like it in Hi Fi Green. 4,000 original miles, totally original except tires and fuel lines.

@user-lq5hx7ve4d You're right the Bronson bike was a 1969 XLH I liked that. I never imagined owning one so nice and original it's a great bike. I appreciate you watching and sharing!

@markrichards4078 Sounds like a fair price, good luck!

Hello, yeah I made a video of it running I still have the bike too. I need to dig it out and fire it up it's been awhile, I appreciate you watching the videos!

@@AthenaAthena-lp3dt Hello, what would you like to contact me about?

@@jfrost77hd We have a motorcycle speaker that can connect 2 headphones at the same time, are you interested in learning about it?

It's been alittle bit but I wanna say a 28 intermediate 68 main should get close to the right area.

@@jfrost77hd thanks man I’ll try that today and let you know how it works out

Hey I know it’s a way late reply back but I got busy and the bike got put on the back burner until yesterday. I just wanna say thanks for the advice on the jetting she runs like a top now.

@@MikeWells-ir5re Glad to hear that 👍
