Did you have to size up your vest? Looking at getting one.

@UncleBogator Ай бұрын

@@davehowie03 I took the time to measure myself according to their chart. I’m a big guy so I didn’t want it to be too small. Looking like a sausage casing. I ended up a size bigger than tshirts.

That bike looks like it was built by someone who knew what they were doing, then sold to someone who...didn't, who then sold it to Uncle Bogator. I dig that color.

Man I love the color! And you nailed the feel of it.

Should probably be in the low range jet kit for an 80in evo. When i lived in tampa mine had a .0295 and a 70 with an ev27 cam and it seemed to run great

@UncleBogator Ай бұрын

Thing is I think those are both in different ranges. 70 is low range and 295 is high range if I recall right. I’m gonna try it with the recommended 72 and 295 and see where to go from there. If I’m still rich then I wasted money lol

@tomedwards159 Ай бұрын

i believe you need the washer to help seal the drain plug to the pan

@UncleBogator Ай бұрын

it's not in the parts diagrams for this bike. But it's pretty thick. It's definitely not a washer like you're probably thinking. Looks more like a collar that would fit inside of a different model's drain hole.

@millinutz Ай бұрын

Very Interesting video, and will certainly be of future use to me, as I too own an Evo. One question I have for you..., i'm looking for new gloves and love yours. I think they are the same as i've seen elsewhere, probably on a Shady video. So, that question is, can you tell me the brand, and maybe where they are available. Would be very helpful, thanks.

@UncleBogator Ай бұрын

Thanks bud! These are the Brap Star and Odin collab gloves. They’re called Baja heavy hitters I think. On the Odin mfg website

@Chrisgaskill75 Ай бұрын

Reason t25-27 are always stripped is most people use a 25 in a 27

@UncleBogator Ай бұрын

Makes sense

@PotatoeJoe69 Ай бұрын

A quick temporary fix for the leaking oil pan/tank because of the stretched threads is to use some Teflon tape on the drain plug itself. Only on the end near the bolt head though. Don't want that shit getting into your engine. Nevermind disregard. Shoulda watched the whole damn video before commenting 😅

@UncleBogator Ай бұрын

lol all good! I considered teflon tape but since the threads were angled, I didn't want to risk getting in the oil

@johnnysechrist6313 Ай бұрын

You should use Gaskacinch on anything that contacts oil. Silicone will break off and get in oil passages and thus restrict oil flow.

@UncleBogator Ай бұрын

I bought permatex or however you spell it. Seems good so far

@MikeGilliland-cs9om Күн бұрын

Here is a suggestion instead of crying in your beer with all the problems that bike has. Yard sale it!!!! 2019 I purchased a used Honda VTX 1300 with a Vance and Vines header. 10,500 miles then, about 12,600 now runs super pulls strong thru the powerband. Only changed oil in and a breather. Needs front tire but that's it. You won't get amazing glances from Harley riders, but you will be out there riding while they have theirs in the shop

@UncleBogator Күн бұрын

That’s such a myth lol. I’ve had more problems from the many Hondas I’ve owned than all my Harleys combined. You’re just repeating things you’ve head but never witnessed.

@jedgmon5718 Ай бұрын

Extended kickstand will help that bike whole bunch

@UncleBogator Ай бұрын

Thought about the block that goes under the stand.

@Bradtadabone Ай бұрын

I’ve never seen anyone adjust the chain with the rear tire in the air. I do mine at 1.25” with the tire on the ground on its own weight

@UncleBogator Ай бұрын

Chains should be adjusted with the weight of the bike square in the swing arm. I’m sure yours is fine. Either upright on a lift without downward pressure or something like the paddock stand that I used. Edit: it is on its own weight. That’s why you lift by the swing arm.

@TheLespauladdict Ай бұрын

Man, at least the bike ended up with someone who's gonna take care of it. I had been talking to the previous owner trying to snag this bike. Ended up with an Ironhead instead after you bought it. Which was great, until it took 21hrs to get it home when yhe motor had oil starvation that blew the gaskets and the top end got jacked up further when the front piston kissed the valves.

@UncleBogator Ай бұрын

big yikes man! hope you get it runnin right.

@TheLespauladdict Ай бұрын

@@UncleBogator Me too! Thankfully, the previous owner as well as a couple of KZfaqrs that I've known for a while are offering to help me out with parts/guidance. First rebuild that I'm not going to outsource, so it's a bit nerve-wracking. But, glad the riding community has some good folks in it.

😅Very possible they put on that carb just to have an s&s. Stock 80 inch do great with a well tuned CV and a .495 cam like the ev27.

@UncleBogator Ай бұрын

@joekool4 Ай бұрын

Sounds like you're about to learn. Lol. They're a great carb. But a lot guys will just bolt them on and go, without the proper fine tuning. Good luck.

@arthurcutaiar9994 Ай бұрын

Thank GOD someone with sense used grease instead of that damn anti seize on the axle. You know, anti seize withe the ALUMINUM or COPPER "GRIT" in it. I wouldnt put that stuff near any wheel bearings. Plus when it dries out it seems to gall the parts together. I used to use it on my old jaguars on the wheel lug nuts. No Bueno

@UncleBogator Ай бұрын

I've only ever used grease on my axles. Not cause I'm smart lol. I just never heard of putting anything else on them

@UncleBogator Ай бұрын

There’s a master tech in the comments somewhere here that said don’t worry about it too much. Says exhaust gets in the way. But in my case exhaust isn’t in the way so I did it right to left.
