Harley Ironhead sportster chopper.

1975 ish. Harley Ironhead sportster.

[@josetrigueiro5978]

That's the way I like it! Just riding, with no talking and with no music, just listening to the exhaust sound and seeing the landscape!

[@234dilligaf]

Awesome! I feel like I got a ride in without even leaving the farm.

[@michesgqlledobbiln8928]

Thanks for the ride bro! Ride on and stay safe! Beautiful bike!

[@christianlipani1290]

Sweet ride , love the sound of the engine 👍🙏

[@WolfAngelRock]

Beautiful chopper, totally badass.

[@paulinaruiz9097]

Beautiful bike man!!😻

[@anthonysmalawipredators8794]

A true neighborhood nightmare 💪 them low slung bend on your springer looks sweet. It matches the paint as weird as that sounds. I'm a weird dude

[@rickhardy4336]

absolutely perfect, bike sounds good

[@bravobob1]

Nothing like getting hit by rain at 70 mph ! Nice ride !

[@anthonysmalawipredators8794]

Lol my que to turn around but ol boy is CHOPPIN!! luv it

[@garysirdan5518]

Yeeess no music just the sweet sound of the bike. Nice video !

[@gilbertochavez631]

Bad ass Sports as I call my 79.

[@seller559]

Love it. Mine is on blocks waiting for parts. I’ll have to ride through this video for awhile.

[@projectcarl2706]

Sorry about the rain drops. Will make another one soon white nicer weather. But a rides a ride. Enjoy.

[@rodan2852]

Really this guy got it right. With the bike and the video. Sounds really good man!

[@shootinnscootin5545]

Sweet machine Carl.

[@tbiker1418]

nice condition! nice sound!

[@Jeff-vy3yq]

Nice running/sounding ironhead!!! Seems to be dialed in very well! You running stock teeth sprockets?

[@projectcarl2706]

No sure. Just bought this bike off my friend. First chopper. I do know that the entire top end was just rebuilt. I plan on making more videos this December on the tear down of everything but the motor. Going to be cleaning up the frame and everything else on it. It’s a good looking bike but it looks tired. Converted to rear disc brake since, no front. Stay tuned more videos to come, but first work. Dammit.

[@crawlercrew874]

Love those bars man! Nice scoot. And we all look for just one more gear... Lol.

[@Tcup1982]

Facts bro about the gear ⚙️ 🤣

[@brentmack51]

I still bump up in 5th with a 5speed lol

[@scottsmith1413]

Great vid and nice bike, I have a 74 Kickstart in the UK and I am about to convert to electric start because my Sciatica is playing up! I will also re-shim the transmission this winter as this for me is a concern on these motors, I run a Buell cv carb on it with an adapter which runs well, Love that old-school chop look you have.

[@projectcarl2706]

Mines a 75. I need to put the kick start back on. Great to have as a back up. My plans are to run a narrow springer front end. More vids around beginning of next year on the year down and rebuild.

[@danielpatterson2254]

I have a 65 with a 73 1000 motor she is rat rod all the way Kick only. Her name is Sue.

[@scottsmith1413]

@@danielpatterson2254 Sounds good, I am going to collect a 1974 XLH electric start with an S&S stroker motor in it tomorrow and I will swap the motors this week.

HA HA!!! Didn’t count my gears.

[@ronduff4325]

Oh yeah , nice ride !

[@TerraMagnus]

This is a whole mood

[@crackerjack8115]

Nothing like the sound of a old ironhead 1000

[@johnkelly6942]

Sounds good.

[@skormm0117]

Could've watched that for hours man

[@dp97303]

cool bike

[@bobbyboston9155]

Man I sure wish my 68 ran like that. Gonna try another carb here soon. After changing everything including new top end coil ,points ,plugs, wires , still cant get the thing to not sputter over around 45 -50 mph. Tried all timing variations and jet combos. Its driving me nuts. Running a cv40 gonna try a bendix a neighbor gave me.

[@brentmack51]

I've got a 76 running super E ss if that doesn't work out

[@ronduff4325]

I see you want another gear too . I find myself wondering if I'm in 4th or not . I'm thinking I may change my sprockets.

[@Donny.C.wlWilliams]

cool beans! QUESTION: What did you do for fork stops on that dna springer front end?

[@projectcarl2706]

No fork stop. Currently it’s the tank. It’s how I got it. Tank is dented where the top tree hits. This December I’ll be taking apart the bike and redoing a lot of it. Keeping it a chopper, just cleaning it all up. Stay tuned I’ll keep my progress updated here.

[@Orbacron]

Soo good, let it ride

[@zacmcclelland6677]

What kind of handle bars are those

[@InTheFleshInc]

What kind of bars sre those?

[@danielpatterson2254]

is that a right hand shift?

[@skormm0117]

What handle bars are those? Just picked up a 72 ironhead and looking to do something similar.

[@projectcarl2706]

No idea. They were on the original set up when I bought the bike and have never seen another like them.

[@robertruark8797]

Yep the them old iron heads needed one more gear.

[@projectcarl2706]

Indeed it dose.

[@Spaceman_Spiff_74]

@@projectcarl2706 pop a 48t sprocket on there if its already got a disc, my old one had a 52t stock and i switched it to 48t and it was much smoother. couldnt catch me to about 80 lol

@@Spaceman_Spiff_74 thanks for the info. Wasn’t sure what tooth count I really wanted to go to.

[@MelancoliaI]

Are those Gabriel shocks?

[@miltwheeler6883]

closest I'll get to riding mine...lol

[@weemsmotorco]

What oil tank are you running?

[@projectcarl2706]

I don’t know the brand or where it came from. When I picked up the bike it was already on it. It’s not a horse shoe and has a built in oil filter adapter. Have never seen another one like it. I tried image search but still couldn’t find a match.

[@ape_man_under]

ironheads forever 🤘🏽 take these over shovels and pans any day

[@benderbender1233]

🤘😎🤘

[@alecaltamirano6239]

Sweet! Is it a 75? I noticed you were shifting with your right foot

[@projectcarl2706]

Yup a 75. Different at first, used it now. It’s my main bike. And when go to another bike to ride it takes a mile or two to get used to left shift again.

[@wolfeyes9357]

An Ironhead correct built and maintained is just as reliable as a Evo sportster!

[@scottlibman7870]

👍

[@andrewvielma1016]

where did you get your handlebars??

[@projectcarl2706]

They were on the bike when I got it. Haven’t seen ones for sale ever. They are vintage a bars along with the risers.

[@tideslider664]

yep yep
