iam thinking about buying a 1970 flh it has hard bags and the batwing front fairing. my dad thinks he knows a guy with a rear tour pak i would like to make this bike my touring bike but i have never had a shovel but my dad had one for 22-23 year's.
any way my question is what would i have to do or should do to make this bike something i can ride any were with out to much trouble?

me i think i should up date the ignition, carb and maybe call baker and shell out the cash for one of those 6 in a 4 speed case

the bike is in pretty good shape for its age, the guy thats selling it bought it back in 75 and is getting to old to keep up with it. the cool thing is that he has all the original parts and owners manual i you might call it a barn find thanks all

So yeah, I think a shovel can be a dependable bike..

Toss the ignition and get a crane.
4 speed is find, but the 5 in a 4 is better, the 6 in 4 is just to much money.
Get a pro clutch, you wont regret it.
the stock motor is fine with a stock carb, but I still say you gota rebuild both to feel dependable.

Mine is a AMF, it was shit the day it was made, they did not even weld up the oil galley holes correctly and it leaked for the first 30 years, but after I went through it I gota say it is a decent ride.

I may add bags or a side car to mine and do some long trips with it when I get older.

i love my shovel. of course ive been through it. gonna go through the tranny(main shaft seal, bushing issue) neverending tinkering. ive rode the hell out of it since ive had it the last 8 years. last trip was a 3000 mi round trip. stock 80 incher,dyna ign, cycle shack 1 3/4 muffled exh. s&s e. anyway you will have one hell of a learning experience working on it. i think its fun. and unlike new bikes, parts are cheap and available. usually hand tools are all thats required to repair most road failures. bonus points for getting it from owner since 75. and if your dad had one for 23 years that ought to say something.

Shovels...

by Bill J. from Austin (Login BillJfromAustin)
Horsemen

I'm running a 1974 shovel that I've owned almost 29 years and half a million miles. I put it in a rigid frame in 1980, but the motor is box stock, except for 10+ pistons, a '77 cam, and a solid lifter conversion kit. It still has the Bendix carb, points and condensor ignition, and kick-only four-speed tranny.

It's been a one-kick wonder as long as I've owned it. I've ridden it to Sturgis, and all over Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Texas. It's come home in a truck twice in all that time - once when Fix-A-Flat couldn't mend a badly torn inner tube, and once when a wire broke in a place I couldn't get to. I've been able to fix every other malfunction at the side of the road, and if I'd really been stuck out, I could've fixed those problems, too!

If I hadn't broken my back three years ago, I would gladly get on that thing tomorrow and light out for any corner of the continent with nary a qualm. If I can figure out a way to get comfortable on that rigid frame again, I might yet!

The only trouble with shovels is that people beat the crap out of 'em, don't take care of 'em, and then whine about how "unreliable" they are.

It all depends on the last owner, and your mechanical abilities

by Superglide Dave (Login mycods)
Horsemen

In other words, if the last owner put his hands all over this thing, but shouldn't be allowed near a wrench, you'll be the one to pay the price for the first few years.

If you have basic mechanical skills, you can get this running right. From then on out, some basic maintenance will keep it reliable. The key is to not overlook the maintenance that it needs.

I've had mine for 11 years this coming May. I have never had it leave me stranded. Never.

Yesterday, I pulled over to help a stranded motorcyclist on a Honda CBX-500. Hondas are known to be super-reliable. This guy had absolutely no mechanical skills. Therefore, he was on the side of the road waiting for his buddy to come get him and his bike. (His ignition system had no fire. His plug wires looked like factory originals, and when I pulled one, it had 20 year old dried up grease and crap all in it.)

Don't worry about swapping transmissions so fast. Nothing wrong with those 4 speeds. Ride if for a while before you decide what neeeds to be swapped.

Just my 2 cents.

Most people that say shovels won't cut it.........

by (Login rockybalboaz)
Horsemen

haven't tried it.

One of the reasons for the Evo's mass popularity was that it was the first motor the RUBs could run without learning to maintain it.

Don't buy it if you don't want to maintain it. Other than that, this discussion gets kicked around here every year or so. Like was said above. I actually watched a guy throw his bike down without the kickstand once because it wouldn't start. Then the fucking idiot bitches because it doesn't stay on the road for more than 3 months.

That shovel will give you what you give it. A little TLC and frequent oil changes it will keep you happy.

Soda blasting is the only media that will remove powdercoating. You can also burn the powdercoating off of the frame with a torch. Sodablasting in inexpensive and does an excellant job of coating removal without substrate damage. Sand or glass bead blasting will only smear the powdercoating.

chance you haven't...As far as I know that Suzuki sprocked should work for you. You say it's a 530 and has 45 teeth, so the only concern is does the mounting bolt pattern match up or can be "adapted" and second, does the "new" sprocket line up properly with the sprocket off the transmission so your chains travels correctly. If the sprocket fits or "adapts" to the pattern on the rear hub and if it lines up properly with the trans. sprocket, then you should be good to go!!

Broadway Title Service....

by (Login Jimbo_ne)
Horsemen

Cost is $100 or $125 for them to register the bike in a state that doesn't use titles on older iron. Georgia is one that they use. You send them the money and a bill of sale for the bike and a week or so later they send you a bill of sale and vehicle registration for the bike showing it registered and sold to you. They also send a copy of the state statutes indicating that the bike is "titled" by the registration in the state. You take the paperwork to DMV and they check all the numbers, give you the hairy eyeball, and eventually give you a legal title and registration. WWW.Broadwaytitle.com

HORRIBLE responses so far!!!

Horsemen

Out of state 'title services' DO NOT WORK in Ohio!



Ohio was the operative word that the previous responses didn't pick up on. They obviously don't live here~ Don't waste your money.

Ohio DMV stopped accepting any registrations/titles from such states about 12 years ago now. (The exception is if you provide an expired insurance card in the same person's name that you purchased the vehicle from.) Ohio is one of (if not the) most difficult titling states.

I imported a few dozen vintage bikes from England, Germany, Denmark, and Sweden in the '90s-2001. Even with ALL the proper paperwork (Bill of Lading, customs paperwork, EPA exemption, bond, overseas registration/title/original logbook, etc.) Ohio still had bullshit hoops to jump through and red tape!

by BadMonkeyMW (Login BadMonkeyMW)

on a customer's bike with 10" rise Z bars. No bullshit, it took me seven hours (normal time for internal wiring is about 3 hrs.).

I had to run a piece of string thru first, attach it to a piece of steel wire, run the wire back thru, then attach the steel wire to the handlebar control wires and work them thru the bars. Not fun. The guy is still running them till this day though, with no problems and I did the job in 2002.

Nylon Kite String, Compressor, blow gun.

by (Login Danowert)
Horsemen

Drill your holes and deburr them "WELL". Tape ends of bars off and any extra holes that you are not pulling wires through. Fish string into hole then using your blow gun, blow the string through the bars. It will come right out the hole on the opposite side. You now have a puller for the wire.

Tape your wires to the end of the string. Make sure that you have plenty of length on your wires and they are not tangled. On "Z" bars you will need to push the wires in and pull the string at the same time since you have very sharp corners.

That brings up the next problem. I would try this on one side and pull enough wire through to make sure that the inside corners do not have burrs from weld penetration or saw cutting. Most bars from reputable shops have been deburred before welding but you never know till you actually check them. Look closely at the wires you have pulled through to see if they have any scrape marks on them

Make sure you don't pull the wires tight in the bars since that will guarantee them to rub through. Leave loops (extra wire) at the corners. I would suggest heat shrinking the wires but it makes them too stiff to push around the corners.

Later,

Dano

Everything exactly as Dano said plus...

by (Login BlacksmithCycles)

...if you have problems with the string breaking or being too thick for a particular application I use that synthetic spectra super braid fishing line. I forget the brand name, but it is about 5 or so times more expensive than regular fishing line. The stuff that is like 100lb test but as thick as 10lb test. It is stronger than steel and made specifically to be abrasion resistant. You just cant break it by pulling on it. Only problem is make sure you use gloves cause if it slips accross your hands while you are pulling on it it will cut right down to the bone like a razor!!!

pain in the ass

by osolow (Login o_so-low)
Horsemen

i've done it once a couple of years ago on my cousin's bike it was a bitch.
just take you time and try to wrap the wire up as good as you can to protect it.

i know this guy who had some put on his big dog and i don't know what shop he took it to (maybe the BD dealer) and they fucked up the wiring harness and had to replace it. Then the used so much grease to slide the harness throw the bars that on a nice hot day grease will drip from the bars.

if i remember right i thank me and my cousin braided the harness then sliped it in to some 3/8th heat srink then melted the heat srink to the harness and then put it in a 3/8th's harness loom from JP. i think barrnet makes it nice stuff and feels pretty tough. tied a string to the end blow it throw thw bars then pulled but be careful it better to take an hour or two then buy a new harness

Go for it...

by jason sharp (Login blackboot)
Horsemen

Just do your best to keep the lines parallel...no twisting around other wires. Check Home Depot for cable gel that electrical contractors use. It's clear, won't stain, and evaporates in time. Use liquid hand soap. Make sure...no pulling cable without a push to feed the other end. The patience required is a small price to pay for the clean results. Best of luck.

Several years ago, I'd heard of a place up that way that was run by an Aussie or a guy from NZ and they supposedly built real hot motors. Been told that the headwork was topnotch for a dragstrip but not so much so for the road (lots of problems after several hundred miles). Not sure if it is the same place or not.

I pulled my coil cover and saw he took my new one and replaced it with an older sporty type. He claimed to rebuild the generator, I pulled it and it was full of mud from flood damage I had. I called and asked for an explanation, all he did was "tap dance". I put out the warning that he was a crook thru the military channels I had access to. Watch yourself! TC

I haven't heard much about the Aussie dude over the past few years. He may have moved on.

The guys I work with used to run The Garage in Nove, then they bought into a dealership in Bassano del Grappa. Dealership didn't work out...too much effort required on the boutique/sales part of it so they sold out and re-opened The Garage again in Cartigliano. Zenone is the honcho...always been straight up with me. He's still a HD certified mechanic so he does a lot of the work for both the dealerships in Vicenza and Bassano.

The other guy that loys of GIs used to go to was Pete. He got out of the Army and started up a shop out in Vancimuglio and then later moved out to the Zona Fiera on the west side of Vicenza. Was the pres of the local HA club, but I understand he's left the country. Not sure of the issues on that one.

so so

by (Login Ghostrider61)
Horsemen

There are a bunch of HDs but it is relative. You'd think with the shrinking value of the dollar that HD would reduce the cost in Euro so more folks can afford them. Hasn't happened. HDs are still expensive a hell (at least half again higher than in the States - and almost double if exchange rates are calculated). But, Italians are funny people. If they have a passion, then they sacrifice to make it happen. For the cost of a HD, it is surprising just how many there are on the road here.

Customizing is another story...it is extremely difficult here. The laws basically forbid doing anything to the frame or the engine. Folks have to go to Germany or England (Northern Europe in short) to have their work done...and then only by strickly quality regulated builders.

Ducatis fall in the same catagory...expensive, and there ain't a whole shitload of 'em made every year.

The culture is pretty much like it is in America. Most of the bikes you see on the streets are Japanese Sport Bikes. Some BMWs, an occasional Guzzi, HD, or Duk...but mostly Hondas and Yamahas.

Now that the police are starting to really crack down on speed...I personally think that there's going to be a shift to cruisers and baggers.

As far as parts go... Again, if I buy them here, more than double what I'd pay in the States. The guys who own the shop where I (we) do my work are pretty good about taking parts I get over the internet. They understand...and wish they could do the same. Clarification: I continue to work for the US Government (though I'm retired from the military) so I have postage rights here. You've probably heard of "APO" addresses...I have one of those. So anybody who sends something to me only pays the shipping to NY. Of course we have to stay within the limitations that the USPS specifies. No new S&S 100" Sporty engine getting delivered to my PO Box in the future.

Re: Remo heads on yer Enforcers ...

by Spuddley (Login Ishmash47)

I read that Enforcer was upgrading to Remo heads across the board on all of their drum sets but did not know when that would happen. Remo makes heads only not drums (far as I know) but I think that they're really good - also think Evans are good but I digress.

Remo, Enforcer and stuff like that .... (still OT).

by Spuddley (Login Ishmash47)
Horsemen

Well, ya got me wondering ..... I found no mention of Enforcer on the Remo website, looks like they do make a couple of kits but they look high-end to me. Remo started out making heads and that seems to still be their main focus. There was an article in a recent Modern Drummer about them - the founder is still involved with the company. Some drum manufacturers don't have their own heads, and typically feature Remo or Evans. Typically the nicer kits which is why I noticed them on the Enforcers. When I write "nicer" don't get offended. I'm talking $1,500 or more new kit sale price (not "list") and that's without cymbals or a throne.

I've been playing for a long time but mostly as a hobby.

OK, I am torn.... I have been looking at running a set of Biltwell Z bars, but then again, I have the ability to run an inverted front end with clip ons.

Are ape hangers overdone right now? Have we seen to many "old school" bikes? What do I do... let me know. Take a look at the pic of the bike I am building and give me your thoughts. I am trying to decide if mini apes are the way to go or are tehy done to death.

think about what's comfortable . . . clip-ons and fwd controls tend to leave you like a folded lawn chair or any low bars for that fact . . .

I know we've taken hits for offering prison discounts, but yes, we offer a discounted rate for inmates.

Or I've had complaints that discounts are almost on par with military discounts, and that's insulting to some. I don't need to explain, so if it offends you in any way, I'm sorry, but prison rates do apply... We'll send him a free issue, just send Englishman his address.

It's not bad here. They still got the I-5 Freeway closed up near Centalia, Washington though. Down on the coast near Tillamook it's a mess.

The man is an artist and a damn good one in my opinion. He painted what he saw. He painted it for himself and shared it with the rest of us.Pretty decent of him if you ask me. So you beleive it's racist? Who cares? If you really want to know racism, go to your nearest -our taxes paid for apartments- and get out of your fancy car and introduce yourself to the first non-white person to come along. I'm not racist, and I don't see racism when I look at this picture. Maybe there's a connection there. It's not your painting. Good job GTP.

I know George well enough to tell you he is not racist. I tend to be very sensitive about racial issues and I don't see that as anything bad. Of course, I'm not black, but I know Geoorge paints from live models, so the model didn't have a problem with the concept. That's GTP's style, it's not meant to offend anyone. His table manners may offend you, but not his paintings.

thanks for the replies. I've been a fan his writing, the OCC bologna story was amazing, and the road stories are sweet. This painting just expresses old racial stereotypes without seeming to have a point, it didn't seem to be lampooning them or doing any commentary -- just seemed to be restating them.
that's my gut reaction -- by the way Hammer, amazing magazine, the design is really cool and the attitude and articles always great. Pretty much my favorite mag and I do this shit for a living.

as I understand it, the stereotype is the point. It's not "racist"... it's a painting of a racial stereotype. There may be a fine line between the two, but it's there. I could argue that the painting is "anti-racist", and draws attention to steretyping by smacking you in the face with it so blatantly.

We all recognize stereotypes... does knowledge of them make us racist?

by georgethpainter (Login georgethepainter)
Horsemen

It's just a picture of my ex-girlfriend eating watermelon. Yea, I knew that a bunch of people were going to get all up in arms about it, but that's the point!
Anything racial that you might get out of it would be that of the viewer! Racial stereotyping is a load of horseshit. It's a fruit and Vanessa (the model) happens to love it but she can't eat it in public because of the racial stereotype! Fuckin' ridiculous!
To anybody that gets what I'm about this shit is fuckin' funny. If you get all upset about it...that's funny too!
The image has been deleted on certain sites that I have posted it on, it can't be published because of the people that carry the publications and people think I'm a racist...it's just a girl eating fruit for the love of fuck! Sure, it's a racial stereotype, but it's a stupid one that should have been forgotten when the last "Little Rascals" episode ran! But nooooooo...Bill Cosby bought all of them and later put them for sale as a collection and pointed out every racial slur that was in them (and a few that I think he made up)!
So who is the real racist? Someone that makes a big stink about every controversial image or someone that thought that there shouldn’t be any limits to what they can paint? I don't know and I don't have time to worry about it, my clothes are dirty and I have to bring my laundry to the Chinese guy who owns the Laundromat! BWAAAHAHAHAHAHA! "GTP"

Doing something offensive just to be offensive isn't commentary on anything.
I wonder if something more is going on -- the watermelon, the whitetrash e-mail address, white trash used to promote your products, and don't you have a tattoo that is white trash or white boy? that taken alone, no big deal, but when you think of that in relation to the watermelon painting, makes you really wonder. Maybe I'm missing something, but it comes across as being pro-white and anti-black.

it proves the point. George can only be seen as racist by a veiwer how is ,RACIST! I see a black chic eat'n watermelon. I'm aware of the overtones only cause I grew up with these sterotypes, much like everyonelse, however I don't know, as with much art, I don't KNOW what the artist was REALLY trying to say. I have only the art. I see in it what I want. This here work of art causes one to trully think about what they are looking at. Racial? Political? Passion? Love? Craving? I PERSONALLY don't see anything negative, but the dude a couple lines up ,does. But that is art, is it not? Beauty to some,Trash to others..Congrats George, I think it is wonderful. I don't KNOW what you are sayn, but you have a great talent to make people think, Thank You.....

You can give it a racist interpretation, but...

by (Login SoCalRedNeck)
Horsemen

it's not definitively racist unless the the artist says that racism was the intent of his expression. Sure, the content of the work is provocative and ironic, but if George were Black would there even be an issue? (Hell, some would consider it quaint that a Black artist is embracing his stereotype.) Of course, if we take it one step further--then it's just fine for Blacks to use the word "nigger" in public and in music--just so long as it's not coming from a White man's mouth.

M.L.K. said to "judge a man by the content of his character, and not by the color of his skin." All that I see is that GTP is a talented artist, with a fine taste in women and a timely sense of humor.

As for my tattoo "White Trash Icon" and my business "White Trash Enterprises LLC" I'm just agreeing with the obvious...I'm White Trash and it doesn't bother me.
But if you are going to call me a racist that's fine also, it doesn't really bother me one way or the other personally. I know why I spent so much time painting a picture that was going to put me in a less then popular position and I don't have to worry about the reasons behind it...I know what they are.

Planning on putting a rigid rear on the sporty one of these days. It's my only bike, and when I'm out joy riding, the wife is always on the back, and her back is already shot. Nice work.

Red and Black...there were never two finer colors to ever grace a motorcycle in my opinion...and that Red that you powder'd that tank with is a killer shade...hope to see it one day up close....like at this years Smoke Out!!!

Fun King For Life

by (Login renegadeheat)
Horsemen

The choppin world has lost an irreplaceable brother. Chris "Butch" Lynch aka The Fun King, passed on as a result of a terrible motorcyle accident over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Butch lived for riding and was the poster child for the back street chopper way of life. He attended the Smoke Out the last 4 years and loved every minute of it. We had just made our reservation for next years event at the Farmington Dragway. We also lost a sister, Patricia "Pat" Paul, of our Fun King family in the same accident.

Pat and Butch,
You will be forever be missed and never forgotten. We ride in your honor.
