Harley 4 Speed Transmission | Kicker Box Rebuild

This kicker box was in serious need of a rebuild! I am just hoping that the condition of these kick start parts isn't an implication of the condition of things in the rest of the transmission 😲 🤞 But, this is why it is a project and not a rider... yet. We are getting it there one step at a time!
I hope you all like this video. Thanks for watching!

And, anyone who want's to send me pictures of their bikes, you can email me at:

PLEASE SEND LARGE CLEAR PHOTOS!
1080p x 1080p is the MINIMUM we can work with, so please do your best at making sure your photos are large and not blurry 🙂 And send more than one if you can as well!
Only motorcycle related emails please - sorry, but I just don't have the time to engage in personal conversations.
Thank you for your understanding.
If you DON'T want your bike highlighted in a future video showing viewers bikes then make sure to mention it in your email. Other than that, expect to see your bike in one of my videos!

I've been enjoying your mechanical videos a whole lot. As a 71 year old rider, I've never owned or ridden a Harley. I'm kind of thinking I need to own one at least once. Living 70 miles from Milwaukee, there's just been some sort of mental block or different drummer attitude when it comes to Harley's for me in the past. It's always nice to see a woman that's comfortable around tools. My wife was a very good custom spray painter.

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

You would probably enjoy a Harley. It's always worth going to take one for a test ride! They are a nice sounding bike and thats a huge thing that has made them so popular over time.

[@murrelldooms7982]

Love working on my Harley and my triumph. Don't mess with the dealerships anymore. Just do everything myself.

[@leojetdance]

You are Amazing! Funny how you watch someone doing a job and they do it exactly how you do it yourself.

0:07 It is for the sake of such moments that I watch your videos ❤. Honestly, I am a fierce spender of various cleaning products. I can spend one full cylinder of "Carburetor Cleaner" on just one carburetor, well, or a maximum of two. Recently, after a downpour, I cleaned the valve covers with a special tool for quickly starting the engine and the whole balloon went to clean only two covers😂😂.

[@jd9308]

Your knowledge of the workings of that kicker box is pretty doggone great! I could never do any of that. As I've said before, my brain is not wired for jobs like that. I reckon I would be called a tinkerer, if that is even a word lol. But I always enjoy watching and marveling at your knowledge and workmanship when you tear down the inner workings of y'alls bikes. Keep up the good work! Great video! Stay warm and safe up in your beautiful B.C.! ✌

Angel sometime we have to do what we have to do. And as long as the outcome is the same we’re all good. Way to solve the problem with the bushings. Hey we all can’t be lucky enough to have a fully stocked tool box or machine shop right. You keep doing what you’re doing great job. You take care and stay safe. Tell Pops I said hello.

You should pull the bushings through a tube just bigger than the bushing OD. Less chance of cracking the case. Keep up the good work.

Great job Miss Angel, When folks see "TV" motorcycle mechanics they only see them with whole parts and never the true guts of a motorcycle. I like and appreciate your Dad's and your own jigs and ways around "darley" only tools. I've never been brand specific nor do I believe any manufacturer is the end all to any products. Now if you and your Dad were to spec out a bike for my kind of riding- long distance touring, I'd be in line to buy. What thickness aluminum and steel plate are used in your jigs Please? Well, YES with that knowledge I will be making my own Thank You very much. I have a drawer full of jigs for my 47 Indian and 65 Panhead but there is always room for improvements. Thank You for sharing and Thank You to your Dad for passing on his gained knowledge. You are both in my prayers Hoka Hey

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Why thank you Van 🙂 I believe the plate we have in our vice is cut from 1/8 inch aluminum plate. We also use some thin copper jaws for when we need to heat and bend steel. And if I hear of any deals for a good touring bike then I will definitely let you know!

[@ripperace]

I hate working with aftermarket parts. I’m a marine mechanic by trade, and were relegated to utilizing aftermarket crap on some things as some original parts suffer from the dreaded three letters “NLA” (no longer available). It’s good to keep good useable parts around in case you run across those dreaded three letters. I could tell you stories about aftermarket stuff failing after not much use. So I definitely feel for you when you ran across the kicker spring that hung up on itself. As always, great video Angel!

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

I always go for OEM when I can!

I have a great old tank wall hanger would look great in your shop

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Don't need to heat it, just reshape and work it a bit at a time from one end to the other

Ah, thank you motorcycle gods for electric starting! I am definitely impressed with your knowledge, however!
