I remember using one of those solid state cut-out relays for the 6 volt system on my 1950 FLH. It worked flawlessly. I also referred to a simplified wiring diagram which was featured in Easy Riders magazine (thanks Hal Robinson) however, I color-coded all the wiring. Thanks again, Mike!

I use the same technique for butt splices. It' the absolute BEST way to put 2 wires together without a big, ugly bulge at the joint. I've found that rosin flux applied just before the actual soldering operation helps the wires "wet" more easily and thoroughly with solder. Great job and Happy Thanksgiving!

[@pacificmike9501]

Thank You. And a Happy Thanksgiving to you.

[@neilo.hislop950]

Takes a fair bit of heat over 16ga. Soldering is a dying art. It's good to see that someone else does it. My little brother the Millwright looks at me funny when he sees me doing it.

[@ralphtieleman4950]

I use marine wire same as on my boat. Already tinned so solders easily and resists corrosion .

Great tutorial on splicing. Also, I love that loom. I used it rewiring my shovelhead, keeping it simple but using the colors in the schematic. The only electrics besides the starter is the headlight, taillight and horn. Expensive weatherproof terminals too. Oh, and something I learned from you (thanks!) is eliminating the starter relay, using 14 gauge wire from a heavy duty starter button (I put it on the back side of the cowl since there was a hole there already). Thanks for these videos, you’re the best.

Start with a module that will handle the modifications you'd like to do. Start with that and a good set of pipes and a freeflowing air filter. That may make you happy. If not enough, replace everything in the camchest with high performance quality stuff. Get good advice on products. Next step, a 95" piston and cylinder kit.

[@mrksimm2002]

@@pacificmike9501 had a 95 in my 06 street glide with the cams and gear drive, I'm leaning towards that, the 88 has the hydraulic tensioner and is a very reliable motor just no pull after 85 mph... (not that I would ever go outside the speed limit lol)....thanks

[@pacificmike9501]

The 88 just lacked torque. The heads didn't flow enough and the flywheels were too light. But, with cubic dollars, I built some very fast 95 inchers.

[@pacificmike9501]

Thank You. As I recall, you may have an issue with a 12 volt and Electric Frank due to the overall length. If you're using stock foot controls, you may have to space out the left side a little on a 45.

[@chadunderwood2754]

you are the first person i have seen use this same technique I do. I have 3 bikes and the wiring was shot on all of them.. crimp connections come apart. I wired my panhead the same way. 100% solder connections and heat shrink, no crimps. and you are right, not many people will mess with electrical but like you said, one circuit at a time.

[@pacificmike9501]

Cool. I actually use connectors with no insulation, crimp them with a Single groove, then solder and cover with heat shrink. I always use closed end connectors (terminal ends).

[@louisflege3741]

Great, simple video. A lesson I've learned over the years watching my father work on cars, or watching your videos on these old bikes is that things that seem really complex many times are actually very simple. More time consuming than complicated. I've always loved working with wiring, I don't quite know why. But if you can follow instruction, working on the stuff isn't rocket science. It is an art and a precise craft all its own, but I'm confident with time to do so, I coulddo it myself. I Just realized that. Thank you again for another great video. Sometimes simple is all you need. 👍👍

[@thakery5720]

When I removed the fuel injection in favour of the carb and stand alone ignition system on my Twin Cam, I trimmed the loom down and removed about 40% of the wiring making a few soldered joints here and there and finished off using the old-fashioned loom tape - best decicision I ever made ! If i have a problem anywhere it is a piece of cake striping of just enough tape to sort things out - I am not a fan of this plastic sheathing from the factory as it hardens with age/use and make things really difficult.

Hi Mike totally enjoy your channel. I recently bought a 1985 fxrs that wasn't run in 7 years and and left on its side stand. Oil tank is empty but I feel all the oul is in the case. Any thoughts on how to get the extra 2 quarts of oil out before starting ?Thanks for your time.

[@pacificmike9501]

Luckily, you have a crankcase breather. Make sure it doesn't have a filter or catch can on it. Put a pan under the engine and when you start the engine, it will pump it right out of the breather hose and into the pan. Make sure there is at least a visible amount in the oil tank. When it quits coming out of the breather hose, drain the oil tank, change the filter and fill the tank. Do not overfill. Use your service manual. Oil needs room to return in the tank. There also needs to be space for the breather hose to vent into the tank. Again, consult your service manual.

'Resistance is not futile! - it keeps us bright at night.' for riding in the darkness, may leave one's sphincter tight; and when it comes to starting, an electric foot is best, mainly to stop one's kneecap, from bouncing off one's vest.

Do the same thing I would. Look in your service manual. There are certainly more wires in there for a modern system. If you're doing it from scratch, I would wire it like an old bike. But the 93 has a "turn signal module," and it connects to your speedo (for self-cancelling), I believe all of your turn signals are "internally grounded." Yes, it's different. Again, the best way to attack it is with an open service manual.

Not "better." Just "different." Once you get a magneto dialed in, it will stay that way. Modern ignition systems are awfully good. We have better batteries today.

Know you're working on sidecar for pup.. been doing it for 8 years with SRD.. Stevie Ray Dog.. lot o fun... gets his picture taken everywhere we go.. get lots o free ice cream... nothing like it..

[@pacificmike9501]

Yes, and I need to get other stuff out of the way. Brackets are fabricated. Just need more space and time. Gonna happen soon though.

Hey Mike do you think you may own a evo someday

[@pacificmike9501]

Probably so, but I think it will be something I build from scratch, picking my favorite cases for the project, and right on through with everything super strong, balanced, proper bore and stroke, you know, my own idea of what I want. Probably never happen. Too many projects already.

Hi Mike! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! Enjoy your videos and appreciate you sharing your knowledge and expertise. I have a granddaughter named Elsie, so L.C. is of particular interest. I'm working over a 55 pan. Having an issue with clutch and the like. When all assembled basket will not turn engine sprocket. Bought new Barnett clutch, 3 fibers and one half plate, clutch that was in there 4 fiber plates. Three steel plates. Have put both combos in and clutch hub moves with kicker but not clutch basket. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Enjoy your day! Todd from the Peoples Republic of Abington, MA

[@pacificmike9501]

Either the clutch is not grabbing or the motor is stuck. That's what you've described. If the hub turns with the kicker, then the basket should turn with it unless the plates have no pressure on them from the clutch springs. If pressure is present and the basket still won't turn, then there appears to be too much resistance from the motor.

[@boboweed]

@@pacificmike9501 Much appreciated. I had a pressure plate, spring suspicion. Motor turns fine when primary chain off. Did points and timing and was putting motor to required positions with ease. Will work this out and let you know. Again, Thanks for the input. Take care!

You bet. Sounds like you're getting there.

I’m in desperate search of the eagle iron chrome windshield bracket kit for a 93 FLHS part #57953-92T. Mike? Anyone?

[@pacificmike9501]

Well, there is the swap meet. Then, you can go to a Harley dealership. They can look on their computer (in the parts department) and even if the part is obsolete, they can tell if another dealership has it.

[@LonesomeNomad137]

@@pacificmike9501 Harley said it’s obsolete, I’m on my own

[@pacificmike9501]

Try another dealership that will check on their computer for you to see if any dealerships have one.

[@LonesomeNomad137]

@@pacificmike9501 I actually did that. They said no dealer in the country has it. That’s why I thought of the bike people I follow. It was worth a shot and Saddle Tramp & others are still looking. Thanks

[@pacificmike9501]

Wow! Sorry 'bout that. I had no idea. I keep my eyes open, but unless stock is really what you want, I'd look at aftermarket windshields. Of course the internet has a lot of them, but I would try "Rifle Fairings" in Atascadero, CA.

[@MicahBell_1860]

You were saying the wiring is very simple, & that you were coordinating the colours with a 1970s diagram, for future repairs to be made simpler. So why did you solder the black to the red? Oh just read the next comment

[@pacificmike9501]

I actually thought the red was what I needed. And, being that it was separate from the rest, easy enough to follow.

[@jameshaines3370]

You need a full Zippo lighter for Xmas for wiring repair. Enjoy your Thanksgiving.

Thank You. And, you too.

You need to keep with colour coding or else it becomes a headache

Yep.

What are you guys smoking that you have all them lighters available? Hope it's not cigarettes. Can you light a joint with a heat gun🤔, don't think so! Lol 😆

We shrink a lot of shrink tube with our lighters.

[@Nismo65]

far out two pieces of wire soldered took 13 min and it changes from black to red for what purpose just confusion for the next bloke. you need a bigger iron and bigger size solder for that job should take 2 min in my world.

[@pacificmike9501]

Okay.

[@bstrang6]

Love your videos and don’t want to be a Dick, but you ‘lead’ that solder joint at the beginning. Heating the wire like that will let the solder flow under the insulation and create a brittle joint. Probably won’t be an issue but could with the vibration

[@pacificmike9501]

You're right. Thank you.

[@bstrang6]

@@pacificmike9501 get the wires blistering hot, after soaking in flux, and dab the solder. There’s a reason solder joints aren’t acceptable in home or auto, a proper crimp is a much better joint. Either way I appreciate the hell out of you for making these videos!

[@pacificmike9501]

Thank You. You're much appreciated.
