I love watching this guy. He’s the Bob Ross of building motorcycles.

"I can see we are not nearly high enough." - Todd 2022 Man of culture is what I see...

Todd runs the show! WOO!

Love these Harley builds with Todd. He's a rock star... WOOO

Im watching this at 9am , and im not nearly high enough too ,

Awsome ! Todd's a natural !

Hi, just discovered your channel, I've had several Harleys, now on my 7th Sportster... these videos are so well presented they should be used in colleges... love the laid back personality of the host... can't wait to see how it progresses ... Whoo.

love watching this bike come together, great way to spend my saturday morning. Keep the vids coming.

Finally, here we are!! Another episode, happy saturday :D

i love how you, like most of us, use the traditional torque spec as well as the German torque spec "goudentight"

Instead of replacing all my hardware and small parts I've been cleaning them up up nicely with a brass wire wheel on a bench grinder. Good as new.

It’s cool to see amazing Sportster’s come alive 💪🏻

My favorite part of my Saturday, when I cannot ride.

Love this series

Like a good friend and genius mechanic said to me : the correct torque spec is always "a quart of turn before it break"...😁

Brilliant again, Todd is the man!

My Grandson just bought 2 Sportys within 3 weeks of each other so these picture shows are coming in handy.

Wish this came out every day of the week, just a great series.

Dood, you have more "Woo! and flair" than Rick Flair. WOO!

Todd made my night with this video. Informative and relaxing. Woo!!!

im so glad i watched this vid Im buying those bates tires in a few days and I didnt even think about the direction of the arrows.. thank you!! I dig sat sportster its my morning coffee series

another great episode 👍

Hope there's many more sportster builds to come. They are great to watch. Sorry, but I'm a stickler for detail and kind of a perfectionist. Lol. Your brake rotors are directional and you put one on one way and one the other.

Another great video and very educational thanks you are greatly appreciated..👍🤙🤘🍻

I love the look of those tires. Think ima get some for my sporty. She needs some new rubber before riding season starts.

Great series! But there’s a big problem for those of us trying to do this on the cheap: Lifted shocks will cause the rear axle nut to collide with the stock exhaust. If there’s any way possible to address this issue for those of us who don’t want to shell out bucks for the hooligan exhaust, please let us know! Also, any lower cost alternatives for lift without those particular fancy expensive shocks would be appreciated also.

love this series Todd, thanks mate you're a frickin champion....greetings from Australia

Man I love this. Todd is solid gold!

TODD, your helping me so much brother. I also now have a new addiction to spending $ @ LBC's. Got a ton of stuff, BURY ME IN MY SHOVELHEAD tshirt & a bunch of other stuff. Love what you guys do& what u teach us youngins

I'm starting to think I don't use enough loctite. I've never actually used it. I don't have a Harley, but I'm guessing it's good to use on all bikes when it comes to certain critical bolts. I guess I should also start putting anti-seize on my axles. I normally just put a thin layer of grease on it, even with sealed bearings.

Love how you instruct sir! Details. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

I almost was wanting a mess of loc tite to go flying on everything and Todd, like the fork oil! Lol

After the oil pan incident... the locktite spill XD

An 11 on the one to ten of helpful bike videos.

modern day goodyear grasshopper happy trails

5:00 😄 it sure is Todd, it sure is...

Todd, you ROCK brother🤘, we enjoy this "Hooligan" sporty build!! Thank you👍 hey where can I find one of those " HANDY dandy" torque value reference books your always looking to?

I just put on new tires and used high temp grease not Never Seize.. Today’s project,take it all apart and do it right

This bike is worth its weight in Colony gold or should I say Colony Chrome 🥶

Love this Man.....WOOOO!! 😂😂😂

i just use synthetic fat on everything. no rust and everything glides very nicely. working on my first harley, comming from years of japanese oldtimers i have to say harley made some really shady decisions here and there. love the series.

absolutely loved watching all these sportster saturdays... invaluable info... thank you! one question... what tires are those you are running? (noticed at 17 min mark)

Woooh

Could I ask who did your powder coating? I don't live far from LowBrow and want to do the same to my Dyna. Thanks for the help.

ah yes, the great tread direction deBates

And lo, Todd said "CLICK", and verily the nuts were torqued to specification.

Kinda picking a little, but the brake discs are on in opposite directions. To my eye, the front disc is rotating backward.

👍

So what's up with the corrosion there really shouldn't be any buy now keep up the fight you'll get there

Hey Todd and guys! how are you? quick question, what should be the tolerance upon everything is ensambled? I´m trying to change my rear tire on a 2002 FXDWG but so far my closest tolerance is .058" on the pulley side (large spacer) ! As a new whrench monkey this freaksm me out due my lack of knowlege (even with the maintenance manual, the instructions on how to change the rear tire sucks!!). Besides this, what are the sizes of both spacers? I´m asking this because mines are 41 mm and 18 mm, since I don´t kwow if they´re originals I´m considering very seriuosly to change them! Thank you very much for your time and my best regards from Mexico! Paco.

I'm wondering how the powder coating managed to stay on when the tires were put on. Special tire spoons/levers or a special bar for the busting machine? I know nothing about the durability of powder coating. Those wheels are badass tho.

I am not sure that procedure is correct for tightening the front wheel. I think you should not tighten the pinch bolt until the axle nut is tight. Instead use a big punch in the axle hole on the opposite side to keep axle from turning while you tighten the nut. Then tighten the pinch bolt.

Fact

Did the wheel bearing have to be removed for powder coat? Does the heat destroy them?

Hey Todd if I wanna swap out rear bolts on my bike and put new shiney ones on can I leave the rim on the bike and just rotate wheel to loosen old one and put new ones on ??

Are there Chain Conversion kits for the 1991 Sportster? Mine is a belt, but I want to go to chain.

It's odd to me that the front axle doesn't have a castle nut and cotter pin. My old Virago does.

If I'm lucky enough to find a used Sportster like that, how much would I have to spend to finish it out like you did? I'll do all the work myself? Thanks

We're can I get one of the torque reference books you are using

What tyres and sizes are they?

Super curious about where I could find a wheel cover just like the one in the video! Not seeing it in the parts list on the site.

Will you be upgrading the motor isolators?

Bet you guys don't know or even care how difficult it is to stop the video at just the precise moment in order to catch the "woo!". Don't act like you don't want to!

Canadian here, are we talking inch lbs or ft lbs for the torque spec

what number red loctite do you use?

What size is that front tire?

What grit steel wool for break disc??

can someone tell me the exact model and CC of this bike. may try and pick one up in the UK. Not done a rebuild on this type of bike before so could be fun...or not

CLICK

Does anyone know where to find the torque spec booklet that Todd uses?

Nice.....do you want to sell that engine?

NEVER put red lock-tite on anything on a motorcycle. It is overkill and never needed.

Love those tires!!!
