Wassup slick, SPANKY here. Another great video. Im not a ford guy, but that falcon sure was nice. The 67 shovel is killer, even though it's only HALF a panhead. Just remember, PANHEADS FOREVER.

[@SlickHeadCustomCycles]

Wassup Spanky!!!! Thanks bro, and I’ll admit i hate ford!! (Go f’ yourself SKI) 😂 yes it may be just half a Pan, but I do have a Panhead that I’m negotiating for, so stay tuned you might be seeing another bike added to this channel!!!! 👍🍺 FOREVER PANHEADS. PS I hate that I ever agreed to continue to say that with you!!!! 😂😂😂 my Flathead, my Shovelhead, and my two Ironheads are getting kinda pissed. My evo and twin cam kinda understand!! 😂 and my Triumph , nobody listens to her and how she feels!! 😂😂😂👍🍺

[@panheadsforever74]

Once you own a panhead you will understand why I say it. When I look at a panhead, I get the same feeling as looking at a beautiful girl. Am I crazy?

[@SlickHeadCustomCycles]

@panheadsforever74 nope, sounds about right!!!

[@Billybob58-xf4hq]

Good video, Nice job on the Falcon Ski! You will need all that HP to haul around all that beef! Good to see the Amish are into hotrodding, way better than them little one horse buggies!

I didn't have the problem or spitting out the carburetor or anything like that I thought I would just go up one on the pilot yet just to see because in the instructions for S&S you can do that.. I thought if I had to see if it helped and maybe it did

That Shovel is gorgeous, the little comments about getting a Handy and the likes boys comment are always funny, why would the Flatty adjustment go out that much, and you and Billy have fun camping, you forgot to tell everyone you were going to be filming Broke-back Mountain 2, lol. Had to do it, Slick, you set yourself up for that one. Peace.

[@SlickHeadCustomCycles]

For one, thank you for the shovel compliments!!! Two- when i wrote those jokes on screen, i always have you in mind “what would make big ed chuckle 🤔” Lol. I do like that you appreciate my screen jokes, i love when guys quote their favorite joke of mine back to me in the comments!!! 😂 And if you don’t think me and billy are not recreating the tent scene from broke back mountain, your absolutely insane!!! 😂 “this is a one time deal, i ain’t no queer” said heath ledger!!! 😂😂😂 👍🍺 SLICK

Hahaha Brokeback Mountain to we will have to change his name to Brokeback Billy😂😊❤

[@SlickHeadCustomCycles]

Lol. And back to big Ed I forgot to answer your question about what made it get so out of whack- I just don’t know yet. I haven’t come up with my final answer, but when I do, I will pass that along to you Ed. I’m hoping all it takes is another adjustment or two and then I’ll be comfortable she won’t overcharge while on long rides!!!

Lol. Thanks. Well i didn’t have enough time to get out a proper introduction video to unveil my new 1967 Shovelhead!!! Which i still plan on doing, i have a funny idea of how i wanna do it!! Jus sucks i lost the element of surprise now though!! And i guess you don’t watch my shorts, i put a couple “shorts” out hinting at buying that Shovelhead and then I put a “short” out just admitting that I own it, but I guess you didn’t watch those!!! 😂😂😂 👍🍺

[@itsmytimeletsgo]

@@SlickHeadCustomCycles Congrats to you to ..over 4,000 ! Things seem to be picking up. Thanks for your help.

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

Yeah I'm just going to all over the place with my S&S carburetor not sure reading stuff getting stuff from S&S site.. it had the 29 I put the 31 pilot jet in it and the 72 main jet it is a 88 inch stroker.. that's about the best I know about that motor. Once in awhile it will die at an intersection but fires right back up and I have it set it idle about 8:40 maybe $900 RPMs. I have points in it it's an old set of points I had from the 1980s that I think they came out of my 73. I don't know if that's it I did order some new bluepoint or blue something, points when they come in I'll put them in right now I'm having to I ordered I keep losing or making space in my clutch lever. I take the slack out and after I've been riding you know a day or so the slack is back in there so something is wearing. So I ordered a new throwout bearing and the push rod the whole set up there with the washers and everything. The last time I had the clutch apart it did have a funny way of looking on the end of that long rod.. that goes to the transmission.. I remember this happening on my 73 and I kind of drilled the end of the rod and I put a ball bearing in there..I think later on they did something like that commercially but I don't remember but I think that was probably cuz the hardness of worn off the end of that rod.. not knowing much about this five speed transmission apparently it does have all Evo internals.. show the cat is for an EVO style throw out bearing push rod etc

[@HeinzyHunsinbigler-ok3cy]

You need a set of rollers. Spin the rollers and you can start them up. I always wanted to make a setup. Some guys use another bike,but I wanted to do it on the lift. Use a half inch Milwaukee drill for the starter. Fourth gear and braap braap... I've started many things with a drill over the years

[@HeinzyHunsinbigler-ok3cy]

A little more accelerator pump is probably all it needs.

[@HeinzyHunsinbigler-ok3cy]

And I would have given you one of those S&S kits

[@SlickHeadCustomCycles]

@HeinzyHunsinbigler-ok3cy yeah all I had to do was reset the carburetor and start all over with the S&S carburetor starting settings and adjusting it accordingly!! Runs titts now!! 👍🍺

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

Sometimes I wish I had gotten an original motor and transmission in that 1980.. I guess it's upgraded and all and it moves pretty good but it tends to go through parts of all that horsepower..

[@SlickHeadCustomCycles]

Yeah, that’s definitely a downside of more horsepower. I’m a stock kind of guy myself. I don’t like soupin’ up bikes, plus I’m not at a drag strip with my bikes. Out on the streets, I tell my buddies with all these big horsepower motors. We’re gonna get to the bar at the same time whether my motor is worked or not.😂😂😂😂 👍🍺

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

@@SlickHeadCustomCycles I hear you there. But this is my second attempt the first one that I bought off of eBay was stolen that was nice..😡😮. Second was through a recommendation and yes I would have preferred a stock one but this isn't crazy but I'm learning.. on this motor he is nice to have the five-speed in the spethe cases.. one of these days I'll take a look and see what kind of Cam is in it right now it has solid lifters and it's quite noisy but that's not all the noise I'm sure the noise is from The rocker box left to right movement of the rocker arms.. I did order a hydraulic conversion which is going back which is actually should have is hydraulics through Wheels through Time. They sell a lot of parts do not going to use and I definitely been buying a lot of their parts... That might be a winter project though....

[@kurtfoulke5130]

Nothing wrong with a well-sorted Tillotson DC, midrange is adjustable on the bike. Please don't fuck-up the original backing plate, V-twin sells one to fit the S&S. Frame covers are a pain in the ass & must be removed to check the oil. See ya @ Oley 🤪 Stop by area 51 for a few 🍻

[@SlickHeadCustomCycles]

Yo kurt!!!! I guess you fast forwarded through my video!!!!! Wtf. You obviously missed the part where I said I am not gonna cut my original backing plate up, I’m gonna get one from a swap meet, and hack that one!!! BUT PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHY I DO KZbin!!! If what your saying is true and V-twin sells one to fit the S&S carb, THEN THATS THE WAY TO GO, SAVES ME TIME FABRICATING ONE UP!!! i don’t care about the frame cover aggravation, It looks effing cool. And yeah man, I’ll definitely come check you out it only me and Billy are camping at our clubhouse RMC if you’re there Friday morning and all Friday afternoon, I’ll be hanging out with you drinking some beers and making fun of you , then hopefully you’ll come over to our club and watch the antique cycle drags!!! 👍🍺

[@Billybob58-xf4hq]

Already advised him to buy an aftermarket backing plate or get one from Oley to sacrifice, they are only original once.

[@Billybob58-xf4hq]

When I adapted my SS carb to original air cleaner (Linkert) on my 66 I had a broken original backing plate I was willing to sacrifice, I also have still a pristine Linkert backing plate in case I ever want to run the original DC-7 Linkert.

The Flathead? Because spewed battery acid from the battery on my last to rides, due to overcharging and cooking the battery, i guess you forgot

[@hippieschoppercorner]

@SlickHeadCustomCycles yeah you actually said it after I ask lol. I thought you had already fixed it.

[@michaeloneill5961]

Hey slick what is your take on what makes the muffler turn blue I have that problem only on the back pot both plugs read perfect some backfiring on the back off???😮

[@SlickHeadCustomCycles]

My take is in my case with the Shovelhead and also with the 64’ Panhead, it has it as well in the same spot, but it’s quite possible each bike could’ve been tuned a little wrong and were running lean, which intern is running hotter to cause that issue in the past and with the shovelhead it’s not a true dual, It tees off and goes to both mufflers right out of the exhaust port on the rear cylinder, I think that’s the same with the Panhead, so possibly more heat is building up on the right side of the bikes causing that Bluing, but again i’m no expert but those are my thoughts. A lot of bikes do it , so also maybe it’s not the end of the world!!! 👍🍺 SLICK. We’ll find out, if I get my muffler shiny again and I tune the carburetor in real good, then kets see if it ever blues back up, and how long does it take!!!

[@SlickHeadCustomCycles]

Backfiring on the backend sounds like you’re too rich and it’s igniting the excess fuel

[@Billybob58-xf4hq]

Bluing of the mufflers is usually related to a lean mixture issue resulting in the pipes overheating. The popping is also a symptom of lean mixture, commonly known as a lean pop. Once you remedy the lean problem you can polish that blue off, with a buffing wheel is easier than by hand.

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

I picked up one of those mufflers for like 35 bucks.. it's not shiny that's for sure but I'm not much for shiny..

[@SlickHeadCustomCycles]

I hope my buddy can polish the bluing out, like he claims
