Grinding away on the bottom end of this XLCH. Got the oil pump/breather gear timed (see last video) and now it's ready for the camshafts. Still tons more to do, but this is a big step towards finishing up the bottom of this motor. This is ONLY THE MOCKUP version. Everything is in, but will come back apart one more time for some assembly lube/gasket sealers before FINAL Assembly. It's slowly starting to come together and look like a motor again!

Thanks man! This bike took a complete change of direction from my original plan, but I'm happy with it so far.

Still chipping away on it @Tom Montague. It's been on pause since I have a show that this XLCH is going to in 20 days, AND I'm waiting on the wheels for the Honda. The owner of the Honda wanted to get them relaced so we're waiting on new spokes at the moment. I'm at a stopping point until I get the wheels back from my buddy that's lacing/truing them up.

NICE, You'll be rolling soon! I got a 72 XLH needing total rebuild. She sat over 15 yrs apart. Question, PARTS? My preliminary search for bearings, seals, gaskets, all has come up out of stock. I only tried 1 supplier, looking for a one stop shop if possible. May you have any help in that search?

I use VTwin and friends for most of what I need. I'd try and find a recommended Indy shop near you, as they may have more knowledge on what it is you will need moving forward, and keeping local shops around is HUGE for people working on old bikes. JP Cycles isn't bad either, but I will usually pay a few extra bucks to the local guys when I can to help keep them around. When your in a pinch the online guys wont help you much. Thanks for watching and good luck with the rebuild!

@@WrenchingWrecked Thanks, I always try local first. Just got a quote for engine rebuild from a local shop, 16-22 hrs wk at 100 per. 1,600-2,200 without parts! I have no problem assembling, its just tools needed for 1 job $ You have done some nice work at the price I'm looking for! Keep them rolling!
