How to Remove Fuel Tank - Harley Iron 883

[@Me-kv8vu]

I'm a shade tree mechanic as well. I appreciate the comments, jokes and simple explanations. You make good videos. Well done.

[@GreatEgret]

Thanks man! That mean a lot to me.

[@kareemgamal2007]

great illustration you did, i will be doing the wire tuck and coil relocation soon on my 48, your session on removing the tank is very helpful, keep up the great work, thumbs up

[@GreatEgret]

Thanks! Good luck with the wire tuck and coil relocation. Leave a comment after. I'd love to know how it went and how you like it.

[@munirsaab2529]

Very helpful video! I’m doing a project on my sportster 48 and I have to take off the tank, I was about to just remove the black cover that has all the system in the tank but you saved me from maybe screw everything up, thank you!

[@GreatEgret]

You're welcome, man! Yeah, removing the tank is pretty easy to do once you know what needs to happen and it makes working on the wiring loom so much easier.

[@munirsaab2529]

Great Egret right! And I can’t stop! I need to remove the rear fender but I realize that the lights wires are attached to a little plastic that it is attached too to the fender, I don’t really know what to do, cut them and then just re-wire them or pull them removing the plastics... but anyways, thanks again!

[@GreatEgret]

Clipping the wires won't do you any good unless you want to replace your tail lights. You'll still have to remove the bolt holding the lights, wiring, and the housing together. It's a sneaky little bolt that's hiding behind that cover between the outside of the fender and the housing for the tail light wiring.

Thanks a lot man gonna get my take wrapped and I need to take it off. You a big help dude🙂

[@GreatEgret]

Not a problem, brother. I’m glad it helped out.

[@fiercegym2122]

Great video, how did you avoid the alarm going? When i pull the fuse it goes off...

[@GreatEgret]

Thanks. I don’t have an alarm on mine. Just the fob. Though I know you can disable it

@@GreatEgret Thanks so much :-)

[@Hi-di6fd]

Watching your video now I think I’m going to empty the tank before I put it back on that way I won’t be worried about any gas billing when I put it back on

[@GreatEgret]

That's a good plan.

[@j9295fc]

Same process for a Forty Eight? Also getting mine wrapped.

[@GreatEgret]

Yeah, depending on the year, it’s the same process. New look on your tank is almost as good as new bike day!

[@j9295fc]

@@GreatEgret I’ve got a 2020 48. And yes I can’t wait!

[@yumsurfshot]

Hey, first it all Nice Chanel, second where did you buy the manual for the iron?

[@GreatEgret]

Thanks, brother! I bought it online. Unfortunately it looks like H-D pulled copywright claims on these as none are available anymore.

[@yumsurfshot]

Ok bro thank you anyway, keep doing very nice vlog

[@jesusthejew44]

@@yumsurfshot look up Clymer Manuals for your model. Got mine a couple months ago for like $40

[@JohannesDalenMC]

The fuel vent line- what is it and what does it do? Thanks

[@GreatEgret]

Fuel can expand and pressure can build up in the tank. This vent hose is to release that pressure or allow fuel to expell if the tank is full and simultaneously has pressure expansion.

[@TonysGarage]

Nice Job, that fuel pump plug is a real pain!

[@GreatEgret]

Tony Cox thanks Tony! Yeah, that little bugger can be a struggle. Removing the tank was such a good way to do the wire tuck. Made it so much easier I think.

[@GreatEgret]

PS: shout out to you on the wire tuck/coil relocation video and a link in the description. I haven't decided if I'll upload on Friday or Monday.

[@TonysGarage]

Great Egret much much easier with the tank removed you see what your doing.

[@Ron_C]

Well done video! So..for us non-HD 883 owners....is there a benefit to these mods?

[@GreatEgret]

Thanks Ron! Some H-D riders that do a tank lift claim that there is better handling, but truthfully this mod is done for only for aesthetics. Gives the bike a cleaner look.

[@Ron_C]

Right on! BTW-I did a vlog in the rain Monday and gave your video on riding in the rain a shout-out. I figure that some of the folks who watch my vids might give it a look. Love the color of that bike, by the way. I watch another channel and the guy has the same color, maybe even the same model. motorickyricardo is his channel name, check hom out.

[@GreatEgret]

Thanks for the shout-out man! i appreciate it. I've forgotten to strap my chinstrap a time or two as well :-) I'll check out motorrickyricardo for sure. I'll be adding another bike to the stable on Saturday. Teaser it's not H-D. Thanks again!

[@Ron_C]

If I had the room, the money and good enough reasons....I'd own several bikes! Look forward to the big reveal!

[@GreatEgret]

Ron C N+1 is the correct number of bikes to own 😁 There are so many bikes that I'm now interested in and I too wish I has more space and money.

[@adrunk562]

45 degrees jeez im complaining about riding to work in 50 degree weather. I need to man up.....

[@GreatEgret]

Ha! I still complain when I ride to work in 50° weather. Complain away.

[@n.a.6735]

That's not the overflow... It's the EVap. I'm 95% sure. Good video though!! Not but 3 or 4 tank removal videos on the 883... ThanQ!

[@rolliecrooks]

I subcribed and hit the bell son.

[@dmgomez100974]

Nice

[@balmoralpjk]

Still waiting on that video ☹️☹️☹️

[@GreatEgret]

+Samantha Barton Life's too wonderful for sad emojis. So turn that frown upside down and enjoy the videos. 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃. There are tons of views in this video of me wearing jeans. They may be old because they're my garage jeans, but I'm pretty sure they are Levis. I can't check anymore because I tossed them after tearing a hole in the seat during this video (if you look closely you may catch a shot or two of my skivvies through the tear). Ta-da here's your video! 😀😀😀😀

[@balmoralpjk]

Great Egret Give me a reason to give you happy faces silly. Easy video to do

[@GreatEgret]

+Samantha Barton what?

[@diegosbernardori8137]

Thanks for the video man. Do You have an email....i have to ask you something. Thanks....this is my.. [e-mail]

[@GreatEgret]

I do! Ask me anything at [e-mail]

[@n.a.6735]

Why are you still wearing your leather jacket to work on your bike? 😂😂 You just took it off right after I started leaving this comment?

[@GreatEgret]

Shot over several days in February 2018. One day was 45F, the next was 28F. The jacket keeps me warm. 🤷‍♂️
