Hello! Love the video. What material did you make the gasket out of? Apologies ahead of time if you mentioned the material n the video and I missed it.

Mike, what brand of gaskets do you like to use? It doesn’t look like you use gasket sealer. I’ve heard Copper Coat spray is good to use. Always enjoy watching you work on your Shovelhead.

Put all these videos together in a compact disk and sale them.

Awesome, job, brother Mike! It looks like that tool you! Used on your torque wrench! Or one, just like it! Would be good for an ironhead sporty! Rear cylinder head! Where the bolts on the right side! Are hard to get to! Of course you'd have to use it! Before the pushrods installed! Great video for sure!

Mike, could really use your help. Have a 1965 Panhead, been under me since 1978. I am looking for a rear cylinder head, any help would be great. thanks

Are the gaskets for the lifter blocks specific to each cylinder for Shovelheads and Evo's . If so how can you tell ? Your explanations are always easy to follow. Thanks 🇺🇸

How'd do Mike. I have a question for you if you don't mind. My 84 fxrs Evo bike has been sitting for approximately 2yrs. Are there any precautions I should take before trying to start her? Thanks Mike. 😊

There is a very simple mathematical equation. Google "torque extension calculator". Sometimes you need to confirm what other people (snap-on) tell you.

Thanks Mike, I always learn something listening to you. Rosie my Panhead appreciates you too!

Great video Mike! However the torque at 90 degrees (on the adapter) is not at all the same as when it is forward at 0 degrees.

Nice, congratulations, bigest inf.

Hey Mike, first of all thanks for your videos and sharing your knowledge with us. I have a question. I have a 1988 Softail. Can I put the motor together on a stand and install it in the bike. Or do I need to keep the rocker boxes off to put it in the bike?

I’ve watched all 23 videos in this playlist today. Picked up my first evo in May and it’s giving me trouble. Wanted to watch all of this to learn some things. Thanks for putting it all together. I ended on this video cause i started with the oil pump one. That’s what I’m currently troubleshooting

Dear Mike, I'm facing a problem in my cv Carb, the little booth up the accelerator pump leaking gasoline on pressure , i own a Fatboy Evo 1999. your response will be appreciated

Keep talking mike

It would sure be interesting to me, if you would take an engine design (like the Shovelhead) and walk us through the evolution of that particular engine. How it changed from ‘66 to ‘84 to overcome problems that became apparent over time and use. It sounds like a lot of work but it sure would be interesting to see. A playlist with each engine design covered would be gold IMHO. 👍

The lucky person who could be an apprentice working with you.

Thanks Mike. It was great to visit.

Sat still for twenty years

I need to get my seat post more Down in The frame. How do i do that ? FLH1200 Shovelhead 1973

Wtf 67 i was 3❤️ u

❤️ u

My 79 flh oil temp is 235* degrees on hot day could even get to 245* degrees in stop and go traffic on a hot day . Is this normal for a shovelhead on a hot day with no oil cooler? My evolution softail oil temp is always 190* to 210* degrees.

Great video Mike I’ve just got 1984 FLH electro glide Got her started after 15 years and storage she needs a lot of work, but your videos really help me. I’m learning as I go. I’ve had a lot of help too. Thank you Mike for everything and yes, parts are hard to come by but slowing coming up if the parts

Thanx Mike! I've been following you for over 5 years now. Another 2 years we'll be at our 10 year anniversary 😅 You're concise and to the point and very good at explaining things. We appreciate you! I'm trying to decide at this very moment what sprocket to change to on my 80 FLHC. It's factory 22/51 currently. It screams like a rapid banshee at 65 mph on the highway. I'm doing transmission mainshaft seals presently. So thought it would be the best time. I wanna go 24/51. Wadaya think? S&S top end (stock spec) and a Andrews #3 (514/514) S&S oil pump stock carb straight fishtails with lollipops. Thanx for any light you can shed on this. And always a pleasure seeing/hearing your videos!

Ive always used the intake clamps to hold the manifold and heads aligned when torquing the heads..Great videos

Hi Mike! Hope all's well with you and your family. Question time! I have 55 pan with 4 speed ratchet top mousetrap set up. Clutch is Barnett with after market pressure plate. Have original clutch set up and the issue remains even when I put that back in. The clutch rod release lever is at best 3 and a quarter inches from ratchet lid when I bottom out the adjusting screw. the clutch rod release lever also seems to have way to much free play but not sure if that's a non issue. I've had bike running , kicks very hard. Cannot get linkage and mousetrap to work properly. I seem to have an inch of cable slack at hand lever I can't resolve. Any thoughts or input would bee greatly appreciated. Thank you Todd

Mike, I don't know if you look at new comments on old videos or just the most recent ones, but thanks for sharing all that knowledge! I'm lacing up an old wheel that needed a new rim and I am having a problem! I followed your guidance completely and my wheel went together great, but when tightening up all the nipples to cover the threads on the spokes, every other one on both sides gets super hard to tighten just before I get to the end of the threads. I'm concerned because there's no way most of them are going to tighten up much more while some are still loose. I hope you have an idea what is going on. I'm going to go back and make sure I didn't screw something up but I checked and checked and was really careful doing it...

Thanks for this, it’s been a rough couple weeks here. You and baby doll are very uplifting!

Just like Paul Anka sang. And they call it Puppy Love. Hope your pooch gets back to herself soon.

Never did run an oil filter on the old scooters. Oil consumption was a quart every 500 miles so you are doing an oil change every 2000 miles. When filters became important was when Harley decided to include the primary in an enclosed lubrication system.

Hello Mr Mike. Could I pick your brain about my 82 FLT rear sprocket ( clamshell) enclosed chain setup. Rudy

Thank you for this video. Enjoy watching these.

Sending good thoughts to Sonya! Hope she feels better soon. And camera man Mike! Great video 👍

Hi Mike,these older videos are being very helpfull on the present time for me. Just bought a shovelhead that has been sitting for 15 years,just started tearing it down and it looks quite good till now,lets hope i dont find to much big problems.

Hope the pup is feeling better great video .BabyDoll RockS

😢 you need a set of ,"shorty" wrenches.

One take Mike and Mike! 😎

…and get well soon, poor Sonia (Sonja?) 😐

A mike i will be coming to long Beach cal on July 6 for a few weeks maybe we pass by one another kenney cole

Mike could you please do a tutorial on replacing hydraulic lifters with solid lifters on my 1980 FXB Sturgis? Thanks

Hey Mike! Tx for all the invaluable info! Im about to put new tires on my 81 shovelhead. The only jack I have is a Craftsman yellow jack rated for 1500 pounds. Are you familiar with it? Reason I ask is Im gonna have to leave bike on jack for possibly 2 wks. It has locking tabs that, when at desired height, you back off the hydraulics and it stays put. Is there anything else I should do safety wise other then just strapping bike to jack. This is my first time doing this so I wanna make sure Im not missing anything. Tx!

Mike, that gasket not only had Style and Finesse, I would go out on a limb and say it has Panache. A certain je ne sais quoi, if you will. The Bee's Knees, even :)

Knowledge is power, thanks for empowering us guys. Always a pleasure 😎

Hello Mike , I'm just wondering if anyone took over your old shop in SLO to fix older bikes ? Also did you know the guy in Lompoc that worked on older bikes , I went by his shop one day and it was closed and looked like he was moving out . Any way thank you guys for making these videos because I always learn something new .

för en gångs skull soliga hällsningar från Sverige i fredags var jag på ZZ top i Dalhalla och bodde i skogen 4 nätter helt underbart,

Thumbs up. And the fan noise just isn't that bad.

Sherwood glades fall silent now, no creaking in old boughs, white birds circle overhead, seeking fresher ploughs, so wheel away, on unseen winds. The forest fauna now line tree limbs, to hold spare legs aloft, it's a 'paws for thought' for Sonya, 'cos the outlaws have gone soft. (I blame Costner f'all that . . . now Errol was your man! - mad, bad & tree-top high most the time - a real 'twanger'! : )
