Рет қаралды 5,519
Ай бұрынRebuilding and Riding my 1973 Harley Davidson Ironhead sportster for the first time.
I lost a lot of footage for this series due to multiple computer crashes, so put together what I had to make this quick video.
I plan to do a lot of adventures on this bike, so if you'd like to see some of those, or you have some suggestions, let me know down in the comments.

@@garethlipyeart6520 thanks mate appreciate that! I think if you’re going to own and ride a bike like this you have to know how to work on it, because more then likely you’ll be forced to work on it on the side of the road so that you can make it home haha

Nice build. It’s a shovel. Adventures abound. Looking forward to seeing them.

@@whatsstefon not a shovelhead, it’s an Ironhead, from the same era though

@@EasyDoesitmotoah. The rocker boxes are near identical. I forgot that the bigger Harley’s had alloy heads and the sporty still used cast iron.
@EasyDoesitmoto 7 күн бұрын
@@whatsstefon yeah the rocker boxes do look quite similar, the way I tell the difference at a glance is the push rods. The Ironheads have 4 cams so the push rods come up at a straight angle, where the shovel heads start tighter at the bottom end and fan out towards the head. Also these are a unit construction where the shovels and all the big twins are pre unit
@whatsstefon 7 күн бұрын
@@EasyDoesitmoto yeah, the sporty engine has generally always been quad cam. Where as the bigger HD motors have been single or twin cam.

I love the old Ironheads, started on one. The AMF years were notoriously bad for QC and H-D in general. Well done Gentleman. BTW, when starting an Ironhead it’s best to kick 3 times with the ignition off to Prime it then turn the ignition on and they usually start on 1 or 2 kicks. Great choice of music too!

@@cavscout62 thanks for the tips mate! Have since worked out a decent starting sequence to get it going pretty easily, and the prime kicks are key 👌🏼

Nice, classic look Ironhead. That rear brake is worthless and should not be considered the single source of stopping power.
