I used to ride a 1200 1974 shovelhead for 14 years. Always carried some tools! Needed it now and then. Never bought a HD after that (40 years ago). Other than that, these bikes are easy to repair. Ps. only Champion plugs or original HD plugs worked! Also be aware of that little oil filter on the right side. It is for the hydraulic lifters. It can cause some nasty noises if not clean.

Just a tip….run a 60w racing oil in shovel head. It will keep it cooled down better. Amsoil racing 60w is a good choice. And just for those who don’t know yes you can run a racing oil for old V8 engines in Harley’s and they will run cooler and quieter than they do with v twin motorcycle oil. They lubricate better and don’t have to worry about a clutch slipping. But don’t use it in the primary ! I use 20w-50 racing oil in my twin cams. It makes a noticeable difference.

@JohnnyRebKy4 ай бұрын
@@ronwhite1642 well it’s really not the weight that makes the difference. Motorcycle or “ v twin” oil is actually a compromise. Most people don’t understand that. It’s designed to ALLOW a certain amount of friction to occur so the clutch won’t slip on motorcycle that shares engine oil with the clutch in one unit. That’s why you can’t use auto oil because it lubes it TO WELL and the clutch will slip. But on a big twin Harley the engine doesn’t share oil with a clutch so you can run a good automotive oil in them that lubes the engine at full potential. I’ve done it for years. You notice it runs cooler and the ticking on top end you normally hear goes away. It had additives that motorcycle oils have removed I suggest racing oil though because it contains high zinc and is designed for old v8 engines which works perfect in a harley engine. Less friction less heat less noise

When you said US62 I was wondering if I would see my hometown and there you were cruising right down Main Street! If you ate at Watts (you were sitting in their parking lot) and had some Velvet ice cream, then you have experienced the best Utica has to offer. An old Easyriders magazine recommended Bosch Platinum plugs for Panheads and I always ran those, but I don't know if that translates into Shovelhead or not. Always carry spares. And better to run a little rich on a roadtrip and replace fouled plugs than run too lean for a long time and burn things up. Your friend is getting an education on why they started chopping them and extending the front forks in the first place-they sit too low stock and drag things in the twisties. Your bike didn't have that problem Looks like a great time. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Troubleheads! LOL I got my first Harley in 1976. The world moved at a slower pace back then. The 4 speed transmission kept us at 60 to 70 MPH but sticking to the back roads cruising at 55 to 60 was the sweat spot. Back in those days you had to lean how to work on your bike. If the battery isn't getting a charge, first check the pluck from the rectifier to the stator to make sure it is plugged in good. They can work their way out. If it is plugged in solid then pull the lug and check voltage from the stator. If no voltage then bad stator and not an easy on the road fix. If it is putting out 50 or so volts (AC) then you have a bad rectifier. Easy fix if you can find a replacement. The thing about Shovels is, they are very basic and easy to learn how to repair. One of the nice things about having a slow bike is you get to see things that you normally would go wizzing past. Smell the roses as it were. You also will be more inclined to make stops that you normally wouldn't. And as you found, sticking to the back road two lanes you discover "real" America. I know you've ridden all over the country but I hope you do more rides on this bike and see some things you have not experienced before.

I had and 1981 FXS for 34 years. I bout it in 1988. It was a money pit all 33 years. I had the engine rebuilt at one point. I traded it for a new lawn tractor a couple of years ago. Best move I ever did.

🤣 I guess the leak wasn’t the problem after all

I use to run Rt 62 from the Falls to Columbia quite a bit. Relaxing and exciting at the same time. In Buffalo NY it runs through the shady side of town

Love the springer front end. Bike looks and sounds good. We have gotten spoiled with the newer technology on the bikes we ride. Makes you feel a little more respect for the old school bikers. Evos are about as old as I like to ride. Riding the 2 lane roads at proper speed is so enjoyable. I ride a 'monster' 98 Roadking that has a 6 speed and tons of power on the longer trips AND a basically stock 99 Roadking with the 5 speed. The 5 speed leans me to ride the slower, backroads and get to see more scenery and enjoy the ride more. I try to stay off freeways as much as possible, however that isn't always practical. Glad you didn't get stranded. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Reminds me of my old ironhead Sportster. It shakes and rattles and parts fall off but it's still fun as hell to ride. Makes me appreciate my 08 Super Glide
