What a Queen 👑. She is awesome but her dad is the Bees Knees! God bless him 🙏❤.

[@cowdudeable]

I am glad that you are working with your dad. This is the kind of thing you will never forget. My father and I put together my first go-cart. Fifty years ago.I was 10 years old. I never forgot it.

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Yea it's great times and memories 😊

[@FlipandTheBlueMule]

I love the jockey shifter with the antique door knob !! ❤❤❤

[@user-vs5lr1op6h]

Oh yes, I remember the days when people installed such handles (with a rose or a spider inside, or a billiard ball)

[@bradpnw1897]

I still have some of those in my house. Thought the door knobs were an excellent idea.

[@jmalen123]

You had me at daughter and dad. Good job to you sir... she is a gem.

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Thank you 😊

[@ace526050]

It's great to see the next generation being taught the Old-School skills to keep these ole Shovelheads going. I sure hope you girls value the skill-set your Dad is teaching you is a priceless treasure, which is almost a lost art.

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

I definitely do!!

[@jd9308]

Brings a smile to my old face seeing a old Shovel being reborn again. A brand new old bike like no other. That's why I love Harleys. You can make them what you want your motorcycle to be. I can't wait till that old girl is fired up and thumping once again. A+ on the jockey shift! It is totally Bada@@!! All y'alls hard work has paid off big time. Almost time to reap the reward of that motor coming to life and gliding down the road on two wheels! I can't wait to watch her fired up and runnin'! Keep riding and wrenching up in your beautiful B.C.! Peace!

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Thanks JD!! Man, I think we've all been waiting too long for this one lol

Angel your dad’s bike is looking good can’t wait to see it finished up. You guys seem to really work well together. Brings back some great memories of my dad and myself. We built and worked on motorcycles, street rods and dirt late model race cars. I miss him every day. You guys take care and ride safe.

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Thanks John. Yes, I am glad I had a dad I can learn this stuff from! I probably wouldn’t be riding if not

[@user-ll9zd2dh6h]

about 3 weeks after the generous 6 month warranty on my '82 FLH ran out the electronic ignition ran out too so I had the HD dealer install points and condenser(which by factory rules he wasnt supposed to do) and it ran exactly the same as the electronic one,the timing was always spot on,I rarely had to file or gap the points,the sun was shining,the birds were singing,there was magic in the air.....

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Sounds like a great start to a day! And thank you 😊

[@giovannitripodi4517]

I noticed the aluminium pressure plate. If you’re having clutch problems try the original pressed steel one. They seem to work better with disengagement. Love your work

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Thanks for the info!

[@wvbiker746]

Good to see some folks still make n alter parts to make em fit. Most folks just keep buying stuff. Best part is, none of that electronic crap that the stealership sells today

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Yea I don’t like computer bikes that you can’t fix yourself

[@shameless6963]

Your oil tank and battery tray look exactly like the tank and tray on my '77 FXE. The battery tray lines up nice with the oil tank but the frame mounts are slightly off but worked

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

Well that was similar to how my bike was put together a regular oil bag in an fx battery holder without mine bolted up fine to the oil bag.. but I had to make an extension on the rear floor to the left of it to mount to the frame area correctly

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Yea this one was almost an inch out of alignment from the oil bucket

[@upsidedowndog1256]

Nice work! I just hope he likes it. Been dealing with my 120R Dyna tail light too. Had to ditch the circuit board and just wire it direct aircraft style. Still needs turn signals to be legal but I just want to ride it for a few miles to decide how I want to do that.

[@RedRiderCanadaBC]

Yea, the more you ride it the more ideas will come to you about what you wanna change and how. And there are so many options to choose from for aftermarket HD parts too!

[@upsidedowndog1256]

@@RedRiderCanadaBC Yes, the quantity of aftermarket solutions is mind boggling. Most of my bikes have little if anything available for aftermarket support except for my KLR650. It is almost as well supported as HDs are.

The bloopers have convinced me that you HAVE to be wearing a wig with them purdy red culrs, because them bloopers are straight up BLONDE bloopers!! Or maybe you are a natural blonde with a strange medical condition to where your blonde hair turns Red when exposed to UV light. I love the shifter knob! It reminds me of Lemony Snicket! Be careful, or the door nob may get hot and explode in a million pieces. If you have never seen Lemony Snicket, you need to watch it just for the paranoid granny with the exploding doorknob!... Those linkages are looking super meticulous. All moving pieces look precise, like a Swiss watch. O.U.T. runs a tight shop, building tight components, and that makes precision scooters.I salute you sir, and your Blonde-In-Disguise daughter. At least she's cute. That's her saving grace. I tease my daughter about her dirty blonde hair all the time, making her qualify for the short bus :) She pounds my ribs if I give her tooo much grief, and she played college softball until a year ago, so thankfully, she doesn't spend 5 hours a day lifting weights, so I don't get TOO many bruises... But neither her or my son want to ride anything on two wheels, so It's good to see two daughters who are getting ready to ride with their poppa. I look forward to seeing O.U.T. showing the girls how to cruise and make the ladies swoon at how manly he looks, taming a beast right in from of them. The ladies at the church will be hinting for a ride, O.U.T. You'll need a big stick to keep em beat off of ya, just to catch a break.
