This is the best Harley training ever, I learnt more in one hour from Mike than years of reading manuals. cheers Bob

Most informative channel on the tube . I have one problem is I get stoned prior then I must watch over again ‼️😹

Yep, mine ( puller) was made by my dearly departed - the first owner........ I've said this before I think, It's comforting for me to "be in your shop" especially when you're working on the shovel.............therapy and knowledge, Thank you!

You have a million dollar voice! You could do voice overs and make a fine living. I’m glad your doing what you love .

thanks for your videos, your helping me through my 81 FXWG top end refresh, your voice is very therapeutic and calming, when I get aggravated following the Harley manual, I watch your vid on the subject, usually gets me through it ,thanks

Just purchased my 2nd H-D. 1st 2 wheeler anyway and thankfully found your channel. For a H-D noob like me with a technical background I must say your style of instruction is perfect. I've bought a 1984 FLHS Electra Glide Sport with 20,508 miles on it. In my lifetime it'll be rebuilt fully. My other H-D is a 1974 Aermacchi 250cc 2t Golf Cart that i have rebuilt already. It's a gem 👌 Appreciate your effort. JR

Mike, I have to say I *really* enjoy your videos and deeply appreciate your expertise - but I don't comment on each one I see because I know you answer them all and I don't wanna clog up your comment box. I am an old Shovelhead guy, now retired from riding, but I really like to see all the great bikes out there still running well. :) Brings back lots of warm memories. Thank you, sir!

My old Mechanic sold me a Sifton 440 in 1984, That cam is still doing service in my Shovelhead. Been a great Cam!!

The great ones always make whatever they do look easy....literature, guitars, drums, motorcycles Etc...You're the Ernest Hemingway of Old Harley's! Thanks for posting your videos in these trying times. Would love to watch you lace up that front rim in a future video. Peace!

We're all wishing we had a dad like you LOL

On this vid....and all others honestly, we love your cheery disposition brother. Objective opinion is a lost trait. Keep doing you brother. I really feel privileged to learn this information.

Thank you brother for sharing, been riding for over 38; years,and it's just cool to see people enjoy the real end of things,great job

Mike thank you for what you do. Your very inspiring working on all these amazing project. Really looking forward to the new bike build

Your motorcyles are awesome! I wish I had a calm demeanour like this too.

putting in the correct gear in the trouble head, when done right they run well. keep em coming Mike. tks.

Pacific Mike, you should say what products you use just how you explained why you were putting a different cam on the ride. It's not endorsing or pushing a product, it's informing your viewers, based on your experience as a bike master (yes you are), what You use and just as importantly, what you don't use on your personal ride, and that says a lot. For some of us inexperienced DIY'ers, it teaches us what to look for in a product on our own rides and gives us the confidence to upgrade things ourselves. You are a treasure of experience, sir. I enjoy watching your vids and also learn at the same time even if I don't have that model. Take care and keep the vids coming! -Ren '94 Hugger883

Why do ppl complain. I just don’t understand. You give your time and expertise to all of us, in your own way. Everyone should be appreciative of that, without complaints.... I for sure enjoy your informative videos. Cheers

Right on Mike, keep up the great informative videos! I'm learning

Hey Mike thanks for the video brought back a lot of good memories my friends and I hanging out in the garage changing cams on our bar hoppers,thanks again.

Thanks for putting this video out, it's going to be interesting to see what less lift, but the longer duration on a cam will do to the final amount of power you will get. Ther you go adding more suspense to your new build can't wait to see whats next.

Damn I love these presentations.

Thanks Mike for the tech tips.I am learning new skills from You that will come in handy when repairing my evo.

THANK YOU...for sharing. I appreciate your videos. You and crew stay safe.

Your stuff just keeps getting better and better. Thanks so much.

There's laid back, there's Zen, then there's Mike. I really enjoy your videos and appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge with us. Hello from Oxfordshire, UK. Dean.

Love your bikes keep wrenching and riding God bless you

I just finished polishing my headlight bucket on my 69 flh, I used White Diamond polish and sealer and it is by far the best polish I have ever used. I am also adding a sidecar to this bike, but had to adapt it for me. I build a 3R trans and had to take off the rocker clutch, change the clutch arm for a hand clutch for the right side, move my throttle to the left side as well as my front brake and emergency brake assembly. I am an above the knee amputee on my left side. I may run a later sidecar mid-star hub, wheel and brake assembly and use a mid-star side hub wheel as a spare so it will work on all 3 wheels. That way I do not have to carry 2 spares, one for the bike and one for the rig, I turned up a spacer for use on the bike since the sidecar hub is a bit shorter. I also have a 1977 Confederate edition flh that is a sidecar bike with no sidecar So looking for another rid. Thank you for your videos and I am curious on what cam you will be using, you do not have to give the make..

Mike watching your videos make me realize how little I really know about my shovel head so please keep them coming thanks

Thanks Mike, gettin an education here makes this self exile more bearable and productive. Stay safe!

I enjoy watching your videos as apply to my 1950 Pan. A cone-motor Shovel would be cool, but the Pan is my machine. Whatever, man. Thank you for your efforts on our behalf.

great channel...watched one similar of a bloke surrounded by clutter and tosses components all over bench...supposed to be an icon!!! keep up the good sound Engineering!!

This quarantine deal isn't so bad. My bike is up on the lift completely serviced with new tires and detailed. The Hot Rod is serviced and detailed. The garage is so clean you could operate off the floor and I found some really cool things I forgot about. Just found a new Boyer ignition system still in the box...jack pot!...lol Good video, Thanks Mike....

Another awesome video it great to see people who actually knows what they talking about keep it up.

Thx for all the help with my 73 Mike yer great man,

Once again, a wonderful video, safe always

Thank you Mike, God bless and thank you for the time of making your great videos, Brotherhood.

Thank you Mike... And thank you for being there brother

Uh oh. Here comes the way back machine again. These are great videos. Thank you. For people like me your videos bring back some great memories. Yep it made my day.

Mike, I LOVE watching your videos and learning from you! I’ve been rebuilding my dad’s 1980 shovel that he used to ride me around on as a kid. It’s my first build and your videos taught me a lot! Thanks and keep the videos coming!

Have not seen any one use a Speed Wrench in years! I do, on occasion....LOL Old School!

Great video Mike. Stay well my friend!

Thanks for the videos. Real stuff. Appreciate you

Thank you so much for your helpful videos

Hey Mike , thanks for this video , I've been searching the web for a video of someone changing a cam that is NOT a twin can , man !! what a search that was !!! I'm getting ready to change out the cam on my 88" S&S evo and needed some instruction , thanks again Buddy ...

Man, I love your videos. This is knowledge that is hard to come by these days.

Good to hear you dear Mike. That means for me you are ok. Stay healthy!

Mike I wish I new as much about bikes as you. Your videos help me alot. thanks so so much

Really love the videos, and as the comment below beat me to it, you have a very calming voice which encourages learning. If my school teachers had been as chilled as you maybe I would have learned something. Hope the channel goes from strength to strength 👍

Like to see how you set timing Or how to check your Timing. Good video Mike.

As always, I like your video and audio. Lots of info comes across in a nice lay back atmosphere. Keep up the good spirit..... Thx guys!

Wow nice job keeping it old school. Kids of this generation are so caught up on their smartphones that they don't get the same knowledge that you have. Hope the bike comes together well. I'll be waiting to see it.

Thanks for taking to time to make these videos. Keep up the good work and keep them coming

I love how you’re keeping us on the edge of our seats with all the parts being laid out for the project bike. Can’t wait to see the next part!

i love the way you work

Mr. Mike, thanks for your cool videos, as a mechanic miself, I've been enjoying so much all what you show everytime! We don't have many old Harleys in Chile, so, its great to see all that work on the bikes I would like to have here!!! Take care and lets see what's coming on with that project bike!

Cool video mike !! Thanks for sharing !!!

You make it look so easy! My dad gave me his 2005 night train it had sat for 10 years so I had to go through it and clean it up, get it ready to run. When I went to drain the oil not much oil came out. I even called him and asked if he had drained the oil he said "no", So, I (learning the hard way) put 3 quarts in it...... When I had fired it up the oil dipstick shot out the oil Pan hitting the wall and a fountain of oil came with it. Luckily I didn't rupture any seals...... I also caught it on video, I was recording with my phone to show my dad that the bike was running!! Haha! FYI the bike is running fine now. It was a good lesson. Lol

Looking forward to you building the new wheel.... funny thing i just came in from the shop after pulling the cam on my 82 flh-s. Your vid reminded me to extend my front pegs out for my long legs....keep forgetting 😂. Thanks Mike...good stuff and relaxing to watch...stay plugged in no Bluetooth needed

Thank you so very much for doing all of these important and informative videos in the Corona Times we're having. It sure makes staying inside a lot better. You like me, is probably chewing the handlebars wanting to go out and ride. They haven't shut all down here as of yet. All your videos are great reference tools. Again, thanks.

Keep up the great vids Mike! 👍

Certainly enjoy your videos

Great job Thanks for the knowledge and entertainment. Road bikes all my life. Been a motor head since I can't remember when. If it has pistons I'm there looking to make it better.. Never owned a vintage HD. I think a shovel head is in my future. Thanks again and be safe.

You’ve have got a million dollar advertising sort of voice man. Enjoy your vids.

Haven’t seen a speed brace in a while. I love the old school feel to your channel.

Thanks Mike. Next time I get into cam chest... I am making a proper puller😎. Stoked about your project.

Mike, thank you and your team for these videos. For those of us that have enough knowledge to be dangerous, these videos fill the gaps that we have. It is an important thing to pass on knowledge like this so that younger generations can keep these wonderful bikes running for years to come. Stay safe and see you on the road.

Watching Pacific Mike work on motorcycles is like watching Bob Ross paint a beautiful picture. Dude, you’re awesome. Keep on being cool

I love shovels to

Actually pretty happy I came across this. My uncle-in-law gave me his 2013 Harley Davidson super glide (she is a little beat up from years of not being taken care of). I just feel like this will help because I want to fix her up and give her a look of that of a world war two service harley (still keep the modern tech though). But I really feel like this will help with how to bring her apart and build her back up

Hi Mike, thanks for all your videos! I have an ‘83 sportster and a 2013 road king ; sportster’s together but needs work. The road king’s in a basket till I finish collecting all of the parts (I dislike having to stop a project for extended periods for parts). That said, I don’t see any videos of a ~2013 twin cam ‘A’ anywhere on KZfaq. I took this apart and put it back together several times while recuperating from the wonderful example of humanity that stopped in front of me on a mountain curve at night without their lights on, and, consequently, helped me roll it up in a ball back at the beginning of 2015. There’s a few vids on twin cams , but none for this particular model. You wouldn’t happen to have any twin cams of that general vintage to put together? Until I scrape and scratch enough dough together to begin the process these vids are keeping my mind on the best ways to go about it. Thanks again, Luke

I like the uncut/unedited videos!

👍👌😎 your cool Mike! Videos are the best ! Thank you friend ! 👍

Thanks Mike, Looking forward to the next video. I have an 81 shovel. I use it for short range, any suggestions on a Cam?

When you take off on your bike for a few weeks do you have a large toolbag you take with you,or just a few handy tools?take care bud

Good time to do it ; shovel together hear ; waiting for parts ✊🤠👍🏻👌🙏🏻

Hey Mike, Before pulling cam, I'm assuming that you have to rotate engine to where front cylinder is at tdc so timing marks align? Thanks for all you do.

Thanks mike for the great videos. I always wondered how I would ever be able to learn about old Harley motors and such. Could you do a segment on Frames. Pros and cons. Where to find one. Aftermarket or junkyards,etc. keep the great videos coming and stay well.

Amazing video! Your microphone works just fine

Mike always enjoy your videos stay safe you and your family God bless you and keep them videos coming brother

Solid,..love your videos.

Again a great video, recorded as it happens nothing cut out ;-) but I was wondering, no kickstarter ? or did you remove it for the video.

Another good one , thanks.

Were the heads removed or just covered? I understand the pushrod and lifter blocks being pulled but can the heads stay on or do they have to be removed to do the cam?

Hi I love your videos! I would like to ask though if you have the time? If wanted to daily ride a old Harley something older than the evolution Motor what would you recommend?

Mike, I'm just now getting around to this video. You mentioned adding a sidecar to your road bike. I know it's not a big interest item, but I hope you're planning to include videos of the sidecar installation. I've got a '76 FXE that has been 'fat bobbed' out a bit. I've developed an interest in adding a sidecar to it and would love to see how you go about it. Great videos.

What type of oil do you use in your Shovalhead? I have a 1971 FLH and I've been using 20w50 synthetic oil, is that ok to use? I never had a problem with it wet sumping until I started using the synthetic oil. I put a manual cut off valve in the oil line to the pump so that when I know I won't be riding it for a while I just cut off the oil to the pump.

Thank you Mike!!

Mike love the videos. If possible could you show how you adjust your dyna 2000 ignition on the computer? I wasn’t aware you could do that. I not really computer savvy but it would be interesting to see

Mike i know its off topic any ive seen the install on a shovel video but any chance there will be a video made for mounting and alignment of trans primary and engine on a evo

Another cool informative video, great job Mike, your intellegence is inspiring sir. Mike what exhaust did you have on that bike?....do you like and prefer a 2 into 1 over a true dual exhaust system?....im planning an engine rebuild on my 03 cvo road king, which has the s.e. 103 twin cam. I really love the duals that it has now , but wil a 1200$ bassani or thunderheader 2 into 1 make that much difference in power increase?....or will it noticably smooth out acceleration in the low to mid range makimg it seem to be ?....thanks again for what you do

Another great video. Thanks Mike. I noticed you said you had hydraulic lifters... have you noticed pros and/or cons running those over solid lifters?

Motorcycle Mike! Scott F here, Jack’s son from San Luis. I stumbled across your videos and am really enjoying watching them. I’m glad to see you’re doing well. We miss seeing you around town and it’s great to see a familiar face on KZfaq. Awesome content, love your bikes! ✌🏻

i luv your knowledge

I love your videos

I was thinking of using a Andrews a-b cam the shovel basket case I just picked up. The motor is not apart ,and I was told it's a stock 80cid . Would this cam run in a stock motor ?

Thanks again for a great video. Reminds me of being in the garage back in the day with friends changing the cam on my 75 FLH. Good old days . Take care brother be safe. Just wondering if you have a video about rebuilding early wide glides. Great video on changing the fork oil on early wide glide, worked like a charm !

You get extra points for mic'ing yourself right. Bravo. So many folks ruin their video with bad audio. You aren't one of them.

. thanks for your time...

thank you very much. your videos are excellent...... if it was 30 minutes it was super excellent;

I enjoy watching your videos straight and to point.. Question: How do you work out the spoke length, dumb question sorry. Great content thanks.
