1985 Ironhead Sportster Rescue Pt2: Another Old Harley Running Again!

[@SaddleTrampTV]

Some people shouldn't own old iron. Glad you got it in order now. Good deal.

[@buttcrackcycles]

Thanks man!

[@Galaxieshop]

Man harley never have part's 😅, its just a bunch of showrooms 😂 and (hell yea brother's) 😂😂

[@dutch_clutch8211]

Mechanically I can't wrap my mind around how you would miss that before closing up the cams. Sabotage maybe?

[@buttcrackcycles]

Right?! How do you not see that? Pretty wild

[@squid148]

Great job 👏

[@SmittyInVegas]

Back in the 90s my older mechanic friends told me. Cars suck, bikes rule. I have probably owned/flipped 300 motorcycles since then. I say go for it. You can easily have four motorcycles in your little barn than four cars. Smitty

[@buttcrackcycles]

For sure, they take up a lot less space! I'm going for it, I'll do a video more about it soon

[@jarkkoholopainen8045]

I think that 5 ohm coil is for points, 3 ohm for electrical ingnition

[@stephengibbs4372]

That bike is actually quite rare. It’s the very last of the iron heads that’s why it’s got the oil filter where the generater usually is cos it’s got the 883 bottom end and an alternater in the primary. Not many of them.

[@buttcrackcycles]

I actually talked to the young man who bought it from me the other day, we've stayed in touch, he's got it looking great and we plan to have it back on my channel for an update video!

[@daveco1270]

Looks like a nice bike. Where are you located? Buying old bikes and getting them running to keep or sell are some of my favorite KZbin videos.

[@buttcrackcycles]

Certainly not a cherry bike, but far from terrible. I am in SC

[@troyangel7973]

[@SmittyInVegas]

Great job. was the ignition module OK once you found the pinched wire?Smitty

[@buttcrackcycles]

No I replaced it

[@edwinjstephens4958]

Hello there cowboy here again nice old ironhead love them I've got a 68 with a 78 1200 ironhead and love it the only thing I might do one day is put a Harley Springer front end on it but it's unlikely that will happen in my life time as I'm old disabled veteran with cancer but I can dream maybe one day someone will say hey I've got a Springer front end I'm not gonna use for sale cheap to a good home lol hey a guy can dream right anyway keep doing what you're doing and we'll keep watching keep the shiny side up and remember always be safe healthy and happy God Bless 🤠

[@buttcrackcycles]

Thanks for watching as always

[@johnvanbeek5671]

Nice video. You could have made a new tab with a threaded hole. But then again, those forwards need to go. Job for the next owner.

[@keithdoidge9265]

Great Idea about the magnetic tray, will defo use that myself, ignition module gave up on my bike, running the ultima setup now,liked the fall (autumn 😊) clothing vid as well, wishing you every success with the bike venture 👍😎

[@buttcrackcycles]

Thank you!

[@jakebu85]

You selling up to a new project or to fund the shovel?

[@frankmarkovcijr5459]

Thank God for the aftermarket.

[@mikecollins3406]

Im pretty sure Shovelheadfejj had the same push rod piece inside on the shovel he is rebuilding. Weird

[@buttcrackcycles]

That's wild! The "pushrod lock bandit" gets around

[@edZILLA64]

[@buttcrackcycles]

I just never seem to have cardboard around when I need it haha

[@arthurleino]
