Excellent video, i love working on my harley with my manual, i have worked on everything on the bike, but only one problem at a time. I have never torn down a bike piece-by-piece, you my friend have made a learning video for all the garage mechanics like me, thank you Matt for posting it. I wish you-tube was around when i was growing up, fixing things would have been so much easier. lol I would love to see the rebuild! Take care: )

Just getting to this, nice bike, and good job. At 60 yrs old I just bought my second shovel, 1970 flh. Getting ready to do pretty much like you did and put her back together to my liking. Nothing else like em! And I can say that cause I rode Brit bikes, and Harley's all my life. Ride safe, Ride strong, and have a little fun along the way. Cheers! Guy aka (bsaguy) Speight

You are wrong about the voltage regulator. the alternator sends AC to the rectifier which is a series of diodes in most cases only then does it change to DC and go to the regulator then the battery. In most cases it's called a rig/rec they are assembled together but it is very important to know what's going on.

Why -WIRED- is interested in such a conservative lifestyle I don-t know, but I hope this shows younger people other than myself the lifestyle on 2 wheels. Got my first Harley at 19 three months ago and super proud of it. I encourage anyone to get a motorcycle, I promise it-ll change you-re perception on life.

Growing up in the 50s buying my first motorcycle a 55 Norton Road Atlas when I was 14 got me addicted 2 motorcycles I've always loved the shovels and the old iron heads never have lost the love for them. That is a nice looking what I can see 74 AMC HD I'm sure it will be a nice build.

I have an 80 Shovel and wondering if it's a good idea to rubber isolate the gas tanks? I've put on two sets of aftermarket 5 gal fat bobs and they seem to develop leaks near the mounting tabs, even though I coat the inside with a good tank sealer.
Any advise?
Thanks

WIRED! This was brilliant. Harley Davidson, and American legend. I-ve ridden bikes since about 10, nothing has the mystique of a Harley. These Shovelheads have that sought-after sound. Please do other mechanic videos! Maybe even a late model and show the electronics.
