This IRONHEAD Motor WON'T WORK For This FRAME As Is / Left To Right Shift And A Kick Start Problem

Working again on the 76 Harley Davidson Ironhead Sportster Chopper Project. I made a discovery after the my last live video that the crossover shifter shaft that I found that I thought I needed turned out to be of no use to me anyway. It is of no use, because this frame is meant for a 1957 to a 1974 sportster with right side shift; not for a 1975 to 1976 with left side shift.
That soon became obvious as I saw that the tubing for the crossover shaft is in a different position; meant to work with a crossover shaft for the rear brake; not for the shifter. So I thought to myself: instead of modifying my existing equipment to make it work anyway (which would be rather sketchy), I'm already planning to go into the primary to investigate why the kick starter doesn't want to stay fully engaged during a full kick. While I'm there, why not remove the exposed four bolts on the trap door of the transmission and pull it?
With the transmission out, I could get a good look at how everything looks, and perhaps see about how to go from a left side shift back to a right side shift. So as I'm typing out this description, everything is apart, and I am currently waiting on the parts to make this bike a right side shift in order to run this motor in this frame.

Man, it won't hurt ya, I take them all off but the top one. Then I start taking it off the bottom pops out. Once the tension is off the spring you can remove easily. Now,,, putting it back on is a whole other thing.

I had a 1933 Flathead Harley at the same time I had my 48 Indian Chief. One was left hand tank shift and one was right hand tank shift with reverse throttles. That screwed me up and i almost hit a car on the Indian so my cousin made the Indian left and shift right hand throttle so it was like the Harley. He had warned me about riding both bikes with different controls I should have listened he has been riding since 1956 and is the best machinist and bike mechanic i ever knew. He still rides and is building a 47 Indian now and he will be 80 in Aug.

Old video but just what I needed to see. I have a 71 that has a kick only, but the case is ready for a starter and as I’m getting older (still a young pup to some of y’all at 32) there’s days I just don’t want to kick. So this showed me exactly what I needed to do. My clutch doesn’t have the gear I need on it. Off to look for the right part now!

I’m having similar challenges right now trying to put a 1979 XL motor in a 1975 frame. I ended up cutting the “footpeg bracket shafts/crossover” off the ‘75 frame so I had clearance for the sump pan added to XL cases in 1977. I’ve had to chase down all the 1977-78 rear (drum) brake control parts. The ‘79 originally had a rear disc brake and the footpeg brackets bolt to the motor, not the frame (1952-1976). All this work to get rid of the ugliest factory frame of all time.

My brother had a newer ironhead sportster where someone had used an older 1968 frame on a newer drive train. He had an issue where the drive chain would occasionally contact the oil tank among some other minor issues. His solution was to get the correct frame, which he did and then everything lined up correctly.

That right hand shifter is a real mind teaser when you ride 3 other machines with the standardized left hand. I ripped my bike between stopplights and about killed myself stomping on the shifter to stop in time. If thats how you decide to solve the issue its your rde. i ciuldnt stand it on my 72 so i put 75 crossover in it and reworked my brake up to my right forward control. You have a real old school aproach and love for that look. Going to be a sweet ride. wrenching in a old shed with dirt floors is about as real as it gets and most likely relates to 90 percent of us watching you. the last time i used a ratchet strap for a makeshift tool i woke up 2 hrs later with sunburn and a shiner!!! lol ! work with what you got right. i could keep going but enough blabber!

I have had my hand on the ye old shovel sportster back in the late 1980s It was a 77 sportster. It had the electric starter with the swing arm frame with side shocks all original. I had to chane all those case needle bearings for the four cams as well as the cam cover 4 bushings and the transission main shaft was shot and wiggled up and down, so I had the bearings all replaced in that by a harley shop and i believe digger as was his nae had to replace that mainshaft. Then an upper engine bore out because for how ever it got the way it was had standard pistons in cylinders that were 40k over creating a piston to wall clearance of 45 thousandths (horrible), so the jugs were bored out to 60 over and I bought 60 over pistons and that worked out good. . Here are same things I liked about the design. An engine oil vent which came out of the cam cover in front and went to the back of the air cleaner, but I took rubber fuel line and ran it above the top of the chain so that any blow by would help to keep my chain oiled .

Them straps come in handy. Hat a flat on a lawn tractor that wouldn't seat not even with starter fluid. I wrapped the tire a tightened till the side walls flexed out. Hit it with air and beat it with a small mull hammer and it took about 15 minutes compared to the 45 fighting it otherwise. Was hard to loosen the strap but I kept airing it till it seated and began to fill.

Ive been loosely following your videos for quite some while, but I came across a 1975 XLH 1000 (11,248 miles) purely by chance, so now I will be focusing on your series about building these bad ass old Ironhead Sportster's. I have been riding a 75 FX Harley (that I built on my porch while doing parole) nearly 10 years ago. It's a nice bike and I love it. There's nothing else like it. I love these old bikes! Anyways, I digress... this Ironhead has been sitting in my buddy's garage for at least 10 years (He lost count!) It's all twacked out, to say the least, but I'm gonna hook it up over the next few months. I built up a 74 Ironhead when I was a youngster (early eighties), and it was my first Harley. That Sportster is long gone now, but the tattoo of the Harley wings on my shoulder are still remaining from when I first got it! Ha ha! Along with this urge to wrench and ride old Harley,s firmly set in my heart! Thanks a million for sharing your knowledge, and have a cool day!

Right hand shift...just like the Good Lord intended for an ironhead. It took a bit to get used to the right hand shift when I got my 74, but now I'm used to it. I got rid of my kickstart completely after the ratchet plate let go on me, put a Cycle Tech starter on it. A piece of hardwood flooring and two threaded rods has worked for me to compress the clutch spring many times.

75 & 76 was a band aid from factory to comply with government mandate for standardize all to left shift. Agree, cable rear brake poor at best. They finally did it "right" in 77. Own a 1974 & 1976. Switching from one to the other can really play with your head for shifting/braking.

Yeah they had a lot of problems in 75 & 76 with all the extra linkage causing issues in the shifting. That's why the reconfigured everything in 77 by relocating the shifter pawl shaft; causing it to come out through the left side of the case and out the primary. That fixed everything.

Just as God intended, I converted her to right hand shift and love it. ... And as a post script, Sportster kickstarters are notorious for slipping the ratchet teeth ... nothing like coming down on the kick stroke, just to have it let go and your foot smashes full force into the ground lol ... sportster knee is a real thing...

They only made a few 1000 in 71, now if you really lucked out and could find a 1970 XR 750 what a find that would be! I,d give a left nut for that engine....

I can really identify with your situation there - I have a habit of picking things that are not quite compatible. Then there is lots if work to make things fit - I lost count of the amount of times I later find something available that does the job I struggled with to make things work together - usually at less than half the financial cost. I suppose you are lucky that the bikes you are miss-matching were 'transitional models' .... Good luck, and I hope no one says that line ' You don't help yourself much - doing things the hard way...' I always reply that it is so much fun solving problems whilst keeping quiet about the fact that I feel a real dumbass..... not calling you one though Tramp !

I believe it's made by Paughco judging by how it's constructed. Someone was selling it on ebay for next to nothing.

Turning that 75/76 back to right side shift will increase the life of the tyranny. The Achilles heal of those years was the heavy linkage that weighed down the tyranny and caused them to fail prematurely.

I don't doubt that a bit. Too much going on with all the added linkages.

You should while you are there check the transmission case for cracks ,they are notorious for breaking there . That's about all I know about the Iron Head.Definity liked the JF Gloss "Walking back home" added to my playlist.

Not sure what to tell you. I'd have to be there to see what's going on. Never messed with a big twin kick starter.
