65 Harley Panhead Clutch Mousetrap and Assorted Other Stuff

This bike needed some going over. So, we made a new fuel line, installed an original seatr with all of its original hardware, went through the clutch and mousetrap system and installed a new fork lock.

You're like the Bob Ross of the Harleys. I learn things, but I also just enjoy the pleasant and enjoyable pace of the videos. Thank you!

[@pacificmike9501]

Wow, thanks!

Thank You for watching.

It can be kinda tough sometimes when reading a manual to translate from Engineer-ese into Mechanic-ese. Those manual editors are engineer types, not mechanics, that's for sure! :) You are 100% right about the hand grip size thing. I bought an XL1200 Low that had super thin grips for really small hands and my fingers cramped and my forearms pumped up like I was riding an Enduro, just going to the store. I put some extra large Avon memory foam grips and have not had a problem since. But they don't look nearly as good as that set of leather covers that The Art Department made you. That is some primo leatherwork!

[@pacificmike9501]

Thank You. I am fortunate. But, not to difficult to wrap your grips, especially when you have piano players fingers.

[@billmillar7234]

Those grips are soooo cool!....I appreciate the craftsmanship...and being an old carpenter of over 50 years, I get the sore,beat up hands.... arthritis is no friend to us old guys 😊

[@pacificmike9501]

Thank you.

[@martindavis1140]

Great video Mark I really enjoy watching because I always learn something..just my experience I've actually cut some of those gas cap gaskets out of some flat rubber in a pinch 👍

[@pacificmike9501]

In a pinch, we do what's needed. Thank You.

[@barronjackson5666]

😂 I don’t blame you I’d want to hear the siren as well.

[@pacificmike9501]

Yes. And it rained. Maybe today.

[@stanleyroberts4381]

Like the grips! In 92 I sold tee shirts at Sturgis. I let a leather man named Big Al share my space. He gave me a pair of grips with the long streamers. I may just have to find where I put them, put them on,and trim the streamers to relieve my tired old hands!!

[@pacificmike9501]

That's just how it happened.

[@cccshrek]

Man what a sweet bike. Pans are my all time favorite. But hey Mike, I don’t know if you’ve made a video like this yet, but I think we’d all love to hear about your story, how you came into bikes, how you cut your teeth learning to fix them, and how you got to where you are today!

[@pacificmike9501]

Okay. Type in KZbin. Then, type in Pacific Mike. When our homepage comes up, click on the word "videos." Then type in the search bar, "Getting a Job in a Motorcycle Shop." You'll see it. I'm sitting on Babydoll talking. There are over 325 of our videos. By using the words I said, you can easily find that video.

[@arthurcgans8198]

Yup, 65 clutch adjustment is a pain in the backside. When I replaced my fork lock I drilled out the old one. Not easy as you have to be very careful, but it worked.

[@pacificmike9501]

Yup.

[@roadwarrior4813]

As always, your videos are top-notch. You explain everything so well. I've learned a lot from you... Thank you Mike!!!👍🏻💯😎

[@michaeljanssen5089]

Hey Mike, as always, I love watching your videos, you’ve taught me a lot of great tips with working on my ‘79 Shovelhead. And I love the t-shirt I bought from you, I get a lot of comments about it as a lot of people know who you are and what you do! If I could make a suggestion, Cameraman Mike ought to have a microphone also, because sometimes he asks a question that we can’t hear, but you answer and we have to try to figure out what the question was in the first place, and many times they are good questions or comments that he poses. Just a thought. Keep up the great work, and stay safe. If ever I find myself across this big country of ours, hopefully I’ll “see you out on the road” ! - Mike from Long Island NY

[@pacificmike9501]

Thank You. I'm paying attention. I'll look forward to seeing you.

[@pacificmike9501]

That is a good solution.

Will grab a shirt next month (aka probably next week) as I get my first Harley in approximately 2 weeks (04’ tc88 heritage). 30 bucks for shipping is hard, but they are damn cool shirts :)

[@pacificmike9501]

Thank You. It's not thirty bucks for shipping unless you're in a strange place.

[@MaxMustermann-dq2se]

@@pacificmike9501 germany is a strange place haha :) but it’s worth it, love your videos, please never stop.

[@pacificmike9501]

Thank You. I do apologize for the high shipping cost. I am proud you're wearing my shirt in your country.

Hi Mike,I have a 1979 low rider and when I fill the gas tanks gas blows out under cap when driving and I can't seem to find the problem..any ideas...thanks for videos I really enjoy them

[@pacificmike9501]

One side is vented. That's the right cap. The left one is not. The caps may need new gaskets. Easy.

[@kennethwcole2879]

Was there ever a problem with a mousetrap ever releasing wail running in ger and taken off while standing beside and having to run after it

[@pacificmike9501]

I don't think so. That would be a new one on me.

@@pacificmike9501 yeah I would have loved to send you the pictures but what I did was cut the hook off the adjuster and welded it to the head of a 5/16 bolt that was longer than the original adjuster(spring anchor)
