Nice 👍

That was a fantastic video! I just acquired an old 1988 Sportster 883 out of a friend's barn. It hasn't run for about 10 years, No Spark! The electronic pickup is kinda gooey, almosted melted looking. I was considering going with a points conversion before watching your video, but now I am 100% convinced this is for me. I am from the generation where everything had points and we made it work. The link you provided is for the year range before mine. Do you have a suggestion for a 'kit' for the 88? Thanks again for a great channel. Wish me luck!

Grease laid down life lessons like Tony Robbins. Choppers or not. Good video. Keep it going

Good morning 🌅, This is how I use to wire my bike back in the 60/70s, Triumph Bonneville, Norton Dominator, and Commando, this was my first Chopper, then in the mid 90s , HD 1200 sportster, FXR 1340 , then 2000 Deuce, I had to sell it in 2019, and moved from the Uk to France, I have just bought a 2003 Deuce, bad problems with the alarm system, I’ve problems switching it off neutralising it, to the point where I have to remove the battery needs, I’ve spoken to HD, and they told me I cannot do anything with it apart from replacing some bits, Have you any idea how I can bypass the alarm system and away with the key fob?, So all I need to do is put the key in ignition turn it on and start it., this was my first one I had worked, never bothered with an alarm just had a very large chain and padlock, I don’t know anything about electronics. I can wire a bike where you suggest , as I’ve done it years ago, but there is a lot more to them nowadays, well over my head, and I’m now in my 70s, Keep up the great work if you can help be appreciated, France,

Great vid feel confident i can do mine from watching this, but does it get all the oil out that way or is there a sump to undo to get all the old oil out?

Super weird to imply this is as safe as a conventional setup when it's obviously more dangerous. I think it's cool and you should be able to do whatever you want I just think it's weird to get triggered by someone calling it a suicide shifter.

I just did these settings. Now it won't start. So these "back to factory settings" don't work

What part of the coil do I attach the points cable to?

awesome video, what a DREAM

What to do when sometimes hero 10 black media mod not detected

This video made it into my archive folder. Well done Grease.

I run a belt drive on my shovel but still have the primary cover. Wanting to open it and run a jockey shift and remove that ugly starter and solenoid.

the chin mount that you are using. being that there are 2 straps that come through where the face shield would rest when closed, does it in crease the wind noise inside the helmet?

This dude is the shit

Link for clutch hub puller ?

@2:28 he calls it a boner cycle lol awesome video though, I look slightly less feminine kicking my bike over

Hey grease I have the same setup of bike as you, rotary trans, kick only evo I’m desperately looking for the open primary setup you have is there any chance you could link it? Please

I mean does anyone else think this bike sounds just awful? Call it what ever you want but who wants to ride around listening to that?

LOVE THIS!! flying down that backroad is beautiful madness...bike's got a real mean sound too. psyched to tear down my shovel and join the fun!

Oh, how I love the Evo.😊

has anyone done a video on getting the drain plug out of S&S cases great video no fluff always take away something from them thanks

at least no one will ever steal it

Did you ever hear any static noise recorded with the Purple Panda? I've ordered 2 of them now and they've both had the static noise in voice recordings on Laptop, Desktop and GoPro Hero 3+ (I know, it's an old model). The only time I don't have static is if I use a TRRS to USB-C DAC Cable, but this doesn't really help me with setting up motovlogging :(

Great concise video man. A legend!

won't spare a review carb fk em. Plus they're pretty damn expensive imho. Did you ever get it dialed in, discover the problem with the (supposedly good-to-go) factory settings? Anyway thanks for sparing us the struggle..!

What gauge wire did you use?

Add me to the list of people you helped to cross the finish line! It took me over 2 years to build up my 1972 Ironhead and when it came to the last part, the wiring, I had not a clue. Your video on wiring made it so simple and now I have been out riding for the past 3 weeks and everything has been going well so far. God bless!

During the hill stop, why are you leaning left and then shifting to the right side? Could you not just stop and lean to the right

Sorry if everyone already knows, but what's the screeching noise when you push your clutch in?

Thanks for taking the time to show us the simple knots, toggles and such. This is one of the better minimalist set ups I have seen without having to spend a lot. Simplicity is key. Thanks for a great video. God bless.

Dude I struggled with one of my fork tubes caps last time I did my sportster front end for 2 HOURS and I finally put it back into the triple trees and tightened it down. (I had basically given up at this point) decided to try taking it off while it’s clamped into the trees and pop see ya later! Probably could save someone some pain who doesn’t have the proper tools to get these off

YT kept promoting this channel into My feed. I think I passed over it a dozen times before I actually watched this video. Then, towards the end I hear WHY, when You mention "We live in a fallen world"... May God richly bless You in Your endeavours brother. I'm along for the ride, and will be here for more. Lol, I love How God can even used a corrupt service as YT is to spread His will and Word.😊

I'd have put your list in reverse order. For me, the XS-650 is the greatest bike ever to chop, and if I ever own another H-D it'll be a Sportster or a (not on your list but) UL. As for the XS struggling (I don't think you used that word but it's what you meant) on the highway, yours might have. Mine doesn't. As for big twins, I bought a basket-case '77 Shovelhead back in 1980 and before I even rode it, I had an S&S 93ci Sidewinder kit (the latest and greatest thing at the time) put in. Nowadays I'd have to ask the question - since when is 1200cc not a big enough motor for a bike? I've seen Boss Hoss bikes with 572ci Chevy engines. Unless you find yourself in a pissing contest, is there any need for that?

Hey Grease your channel is definitely one of top watches. I have a1982 Shovel Head that I’m thinking about chopping but I have had a lot of back surgeries and not sure how well I would make out on a rigid. I have short shocks on it now and I can deal with it. Would love to have a foot clutch after watching your video but my right leg goes to sleep now and then. I don’t want to end up like the guy on the tv show Laugh In. You’re probably to young to remember that show but a guy riding a tricycle would fall on his side and couldn’t get up. Ok bud I ramble on way too long. You take care and ride safe keep the videos coming.

I switched over to points on my 1980 XLH 1000 Ironhead chopper that I built in my garage. I’m having some issues and I have a couple questions. The bike does not enjoy higher RPM/ freeway speed which is a problem because I’d like to get back to commuting. As of now 4th gear sputters unless I shift from 3rd to 4th at high RPM and it does not enjoy staying at higher RPM. Any suggestions? My next question is about spark plugs. I’ve read that resistor plugs aren’t good and that I should drop the gap from 40 to 30 with non resistor plugs. I’m currently running NGK 7022’s and I don’t know what non resistor plug will replace that correctly. Again, any suggestions appreciated. The last question would be regarding timing. I hear static timing a lot but I haven’t adjusted points on a Harley aside from these and I followed along in the Shovel head video you did about points conversions so I’m not sure if the hesitation is a sign to advance/ retard the timing or maybe start over and reset the points completely. Let me know what you think. I love the Ironhead and I really wanna get it back on the road.

Currently fabricating a hardtail for my 1982 Yamaha Virago on my apartment patio. Been working on it Sundays since April.

Great video. I am 58 years old, started riding when I was 14, and built my first Harley when I was 19, a chopper. I have built a number of choppers over the years, and have had many bikes over the years. I can't imagine what it would have been like to have something like KZfaq.

Any tips for guys like me thats too late to know about the washer hack, my springs are out and still didnt manage to put them together and im hungry to ride

Hey man I’m sure it’s more than 100 people you’ve helped! I should’ve told you when I had watched your “how to wire pt.2” video that if you hadn’t done that I’d be ripping my hair out still… thanks dude. And you totally still look like a Honda civic guy 😋😛

Spot on 100%, thank you. I have the hero 10 myself, and the information that you gave is greatly appreciated. Yes, I would like to see how you do your studio shots as well. Take care sir.

my dad broke his leg trying to kickstart his harley. hasn’t rode it since

Your alright in my book greasy! Stock, upgraded, modified, chopped, bobbed, or cut down. Hard ass old school 1% patched clubber or self certified 49cc "mopagn", we ALL love and are a small part of this worldwide 2 wheeled brotherhood (and sister lol) i call us all...BIKERS. hope at least some of yall agree.... its not ALL about what you ride but that you are in fact RIDING!

Cool video. Nice to see you back from heavy hours at work. You are doing a cool thing. Keep it up my man.

KZfaq is helpful ,I had good luck with Rosas cycle shop NY . engine and transmission rebuilding and machine shop .

if you kick it all the way through, can you keep your foot on the kick start lever? or will it kick back?

Been watching a few videos on KZfaq to see what's wrong with Yamaha wr450f dirtbike. Turn on with electric starter and no crank at all. Battery less than 6 months old and it's on a battery tender. Auto zone in my area don't do bike batteries.Thinking its starter solenoid so I was thinking of using insulated screwdriver and touching screws on it to see if I get something of a crank. Just afraid of messing up starter or other electrical stuff. Thanks for the video

Thanks, and keep up the great work! Another 20 years and you will reach chopper legend status.

Love the channel, have a blessed week my friend

104, thanks bud

You got a subscriber out of me today. Watched several of your vids and i applaude your humility, along with the clear and concise commentary. Good shit.
