Desperate times lead to desperate actions, dropping the bike onto the left side works to shuffle fuel around till I can fix the issue. Otherwise I think the test ride is a success!!!

I bought an 83 FLHT in worse shape than that one a few yrs ago from a guy cheap. It’s was beat and ugly, but I wanted the shovelhead drivetrain for another project. I planned on selling off the roller and title to get some money back, no offers. Yrs later the wife asked, will an EVO motor fit in there? Yup, it’ll bolt right in. “ why don’t you build it back with an EVO for us to ride together?” She rides her own custom 82 FXR we built. So over a few yrs I redid the old bike. 107”S&S motor from a Big Dog, converted to belt rear drive, upgraded brakes, 6spd OD gear set, tons of other upgrades but used as much of the original bike as possible. Today it’s a smooth as glass two up tourer. The 107, recammed for low and mid range is smooth and strong and the old FLT frame is a joy to cruise on. It was a long process but it’s a hobby, so saving the old iron is a labor of love. Those ugly old FLTs are some smooth bikes on the hiway.

Aesthetics are staying for a while, and (hopefully) will make it to South Dakota next year! I think it suits the bikes attitude and character 👍🏻

My family left brooklyn a few months back after theirs and my entire life there. Getting some real nostalgia seeing bensonhurst like this.

Nice to see NYC neighborhoods from a helmet cam (and not from someone going stupid fast on a Japanese bike). Good job getting it going. My 93 Glide Ultra is coming along and almost road worthy. Following your journey!

Nice! Love hearing that more of these old girls are getting back on the road! 👍🏻

The emulsion tube and pilot jet are clogged. Take it back apart, clean the emulsion tube and pilot jet and make sure the floats aren't perforated, make sure the needle valves on the float and throttle slides seal properly and aren't obstructed. Clean the channels in the body of the carb while you are in there and re seal and reassemble the carb(s). Then fresh plugs with proper gapped electrodes. Set the electrode gaps yourself there is no such thing as a pre gapped plug. Make sure all the terminals are clean and free of corrosion for adequate continuity, make sure your grounds and power distribution is good. Run fresh fuel lines and filters. Clean fuel tank and clean fresh fuel. Make sure the secondary and primary winding resistance is within spec and that the ignition wires and rectifier is good. Then go burn the carbon off the valves and enjoy your sikle. Obviously make sure your rotors are clean, you have Plenty of friction material, your calipers are not seized and your hydraulics don't have any cavitated air. Probably bleed clean dot 4 through them. Then she'll go just fine bud. God bless

Hey there! Hello from New Zealand! My name is Ra, and pleased to meet you, brother! It was the tagline that landed me on your channel, and when I saw it, I realised that I'm sort-of in your shoes. I haven't been on a motorcycle for nearly 40 years. I've been questioning my life choices lately, and I miss being on two wheels. The rumble of the motor, the wind in your face, the bugs in your teeth and clothing... Lol. Plus, the freedom, the utter freedom a motorcycle gives you... Yeah, I got it bad! Lol. However, I'd thought I'd follow along as you fix up that monster and get her road-worthy and singing a fine tune. Subbed no probs.

Can't wait to see how it'll look once you fixed it. Hope for a nice new paint job.

Dude, you’re hilarious. If you were my neighbor I’d be pestering you all the time. I’ve done that “lay the bike on its side” trick before, but never with a touring Harley 😂

I’m 40. I just bought a Suzuki dr350. The last time I rode a motorcycle I was 17. I remembered everything… just had to build my confidence back up. I’ve been safely driving in Los Angeles traffic for about a year just fine except for my bike being stolen. Couple days ago I got a Suzuki drz400 supermoto!!!
