Man, why wasn't there a KZbin in '72 when I got my new Super Glide, that I still have & occasionally ride! It would have saved me tons of time of not knowing what I was doing. Now I'm too old to bend and stoop just to put on socks. My biggest problem is finding the mechanic's who really know old Harley's. This is the best DIY I've seen on Shovelhead routine maint.

This is great! You truly are the Bob Ross of shovelheads. And quite refreshing: a 2hrs and 5 min video and NOT once i've heard 'Alright guys...'. A lot of KZbinrs should take note. It really can be done, thanks. At 28 min or so, you are lubricating the chain. I used to spray grease on the inside of the chain, right in front of the sprocket That way the grease first has to pas through the chain, before it is slung out into the open. Thus taking the most advantage of the grease and force of nature. At least that's how it works in my mind. Seeing you work, I think I over tighten my bolts and screws 9 out of 10 times...

22 years ago I retired from the service and went to MMI. Took all the HD programs. I worked in 5 dealerships in two states before the recession closed my dealership and lack of customers put a lot of mechanics out of work in the Chicagoland area. I worked on EVOs and Twin Cams and little else. Then most dealers did not want to work on shovels or older bikes, too many of them had been rode hard and worked on by bad mechanics (non-mechanics) Anyway AWESOME videos, I had forgotten what they taught me in school about early model HD. Your video made me remember what I learned but rarely got to use. Been out of the biz for sometime, miss it sometimes had to move on. Thanks.

P.S. On your cable oiling. What I do is get a sandwich bag,put a hole in the bottom, put the cable through it and tape it onto cable housing. Put oil, 1oz. in the baggy and secure it up and let oil drain until you see it come out the bottom of cable. The oil I used was Molybdenum (snake oil we used to call it). Then lube the grip fixture. I've never had a problem when doing this. I also put 1 pint of Moly into the crankcase. Used always in my race engines, V-8s.

I didnt build her . I also just recently picked up an almost all original 83 FLHT. Has a noise in the top end . Give her gas no noise. When fully warmed up no noise, Probably just rocker arm bushing.

The shovelhead engine is the results of continuous refinement starting in 1936 with the knucklehead. They are a great motor. The reason Harley went to the Evo was to make an engine the average guy couldn't work on. Built right and maintain properly the Shovel will take you down the road along time, I know bought mine new in 1975 and over a quarter of a million miles I'm still riding it. Keep the shiney side up.

@@thomasborger6548 I am an Aircraft mechanic. The Harley motor is just two cylinders out of a pratt and Whitney radial sixteen. I did my maintenance. Oil changes were based more on the seasonal temperatures than on mileage. Chain and battery changed every spring. Tires every other year. Cost were off set by selling my take offs used, (a riders who knew me like getting those parts) I didn't hurt that I hung around an off brand motorcycle shop and bought things cheaper than you would buy it in a Harley shop. Also there are many parts you don't have to buy from Harley(at least back in shovelhead days. I could by Headlights at the auto parts store for 6$ when HD was charging 20. Same light, made by the same company, only difference was on the box one said motorcycle light and the other didn't. It was the same with, chains, oil, tires, bearing, Those older HDs were built to fix along side of the road with parts from the auto parts store. The most expensive parts was, I didn't pay for some one else to repair my bike. I liked working on it, and still do. After all those miles, I tore it down and rebuilt it completely. Now it's ready for another quarter million miles. I wish I was. I've own and rode since I was 25 , I'm 74 now.. Some will look at this comment as proof of how much wrenching you have to do to own a Harley. While I owned this bike I also own and rode Triumphs BSA, a Honda 305 Super hawk, a Honda 550 four, and lastly a Triumph Bonniville America. All good motorcycles, and everyone of them require wrenching. You don't get away from that, and speaking for myself I have never wanted to. Keep the shiney side up.

I ride a performance modded Twincam, and I still loved this vid! It's just nice to know stuff, right? OH!!! I just noticed the Valvoline! Here's a man who knows something; Just what I put in everything!!! My '2000 Silverado is 217000K and running like new. Never, has seen dirty oil, and dirty is anything darker than your caramel bar! I pity the fool who buys any motor that has gone to black. It's just done. Another old school kudo is about the chain maintenance - very important for longevity. I'm just thinking out loud, but after 33 years of bike building, riding and designing, one VERY IMPORTANT clue is this: when you HEAR something different on a ride, something WILL fall off, break, disintegrate, or generally embarrass you in front of your friends at the next gas station...and I've seen it too many times. LISTEN TO YOUR RIDES!

It is commonly thought that Shovelhead production ended in '84. HD produced Shovelheads through 1985 while finishing Government contracts. These models were not offered for retail sale, but show up from time to time on the used market. If you find a Shovelhead engine with an F in the 10th digit position in the vin, then you have found one of these motorcycles,. At the HD museum in Milwaukee, there is a picture of Willie G standing next to the last production Shovelhead with a placard reading 1985.

On the very first bike I worked on I forgot to install one part, the clip on the master link.... The chain came off at highway speeds locking up the rear wheel and it popped a hole in the engine where all the oil came gushing out. That was the end of that bike.

please on the white bike. who makes the inner primary? I just obtained a more or less stock 1975 FXE ( just cosmetic changes) and I have set up a foot clutch and jockey shift because the shifting is reversed from standard pattern ( I've always wanted a jockey shift bike) learned to ride on an old Cushman eagle at 10yrs old. Hence I have eliminated the starter and no longer need the stock primary. I enjoy your site. Very educational for me because I'm used to the Evo bikes this is my first shovelhead. I prefer to wrench my own bikes. Manuals are great but youtube is hands on.
