1975 shovelhead

I like the ventilated primary cover for the belt drive. Might be a good way to save damaged inner and outer primary covers.

FYI: Worn out shifter bushings..... I have had some pretty good success using silicone on the shafts to fill in for the worn bushings. It takes up the slack, prevents more wear and takes way some of the metallic rattle. It is a fix at I know but way less labor and material consuming. Lasts a good long while and easy to replace once it wears out. I get about 8-12 months out of it on my bike.

you could beat pieces of oiled wood into them too but that not how i would do it unless i was stuck on the side of the road. tatro

Great camera work. 👍🏼

[@TatroMachine]

one of my youtube fans stopped by for a couple of days and did some videoing for you. he actually knows which end of the camera to use. now you have rick. boy are you in trouble now. tatro

[@gregkoe60]

Lets play whats under the clutch hub! LOL. Happens to me all the time. Usually right in front of me.

75 FLH owner myself, great work, the only thing i didnt like was where the shifter went onto the shaft (the one you had to hammer on and off) The first place this will fail, that shaft is suppose to be splined, i believe with the pressure you get from your leg/foot, the shifter will eventually slip there...

[@TatroMachine]

old bikes are unsplined and new bike are splined. and yes they do slip, that is why harley change them. tatro

[@NS-yl6wj]

Good video. What works for me on these stubborn shifters splined or not is a small chisel or flat head in the shifter relief to spread it a bit and often it’ll slide right off.

Someone needs to mention planned lube and grease points to this customer. That '75 Shovelhead is dry as an old desert bone. Nice Le Pera Duct-Tape banana seat too.

[@TatroMachine]

just watch the videos and you see what matters and why. tatro

[@rogerwachal3718]

I agree you have a great camera man

[@oh8wingman]

With all the hammerin an twistin an huffin an puffin along with the silent cussin going on to remove that shifter arm starting at 11:35 I think I figured out where Rick really put the red locktite..........

[@TatroMachine]

that's a good one. tatro

[@rogerwachal3718]

One thing for sure when bikes leave Tatro's shop it is fixed right

[@erikdejong2091]

its below the clutch there is the key

[@TatroMachine]

thanks, found it. tatro

[@erichiles9568]

I know me and Rudy talking about it

[@jerryhubbard4461]

I think I will have to pass on the open primary for a daily rider. Rust everywhere.

[@TatroMachine]

it matcks the rest of the bike. 20 years of sitting will do that. tatro

[@jerryhubbard4461]

dude in the red shirt needs a saggy bag kit. lol

[@joesurfer9754]

I would not want that dude beating on my shit with that hammer like that. That is just plain lazy.

[@TatroMachine]

another dumbass comment from a dumbass. and how should it be done or how would you do it. and were is all that damage from beating the hell out of it. make that a moron. tatro

[@ollelindskog4531]

This is just plain abuse..... how to take off the shifter? Put the right screwdriver in the slot, hit it once and just lift it off... 😂🤣
