Saturday Sportster - Season 1 - Episode 1- Disassembly and The Plan

Its good looking bike.... was....

Love watching Tod!!

I love this dude

Anybody else starting to think that Todd really has a deep rich radio voice, and these guys just had Harland Williams dub over it to fuck with us??

Im sorry but this is your best mechanic at this shop????/ I would walk in and tell the 20 mechanic "you're fired, get the fuck out". And run that shop like a real mechanic would. But I am also an aircraft mechanic and we don't fuck around.

It's like watching grandpa use tools he has never used before. And not knowing what to do in the first place.

It's not the bike that's stubborn, it's the so called mechanic that sucks at his job.

Try and re-sale those saddle bags that he fucked up at market price. LOL.

I wouldn't let this guy work on my grandmas wheel chair. He has no idea what he is doing. Neither does the dealership that allows him to work there.

LOL, if you can figure out how it comes off then just pull as hard as you can. Great Mechanical advice.

WD40?????? LOL>>>>>> ROOKIE

Sell those used stock Harley parts for way too much is what you're saying.

Love the video. You know you're watching a real mechanic when they talk shit to whatever they're working on.

The other owner did a great job of making a nice bike look like a piece of shit...

If you NEED saddlebags, especially if it is only once in a while, install some with Easy Brackets. They go on and come off with the twist of a key, and only leave some little tiny pegs on the fender rails. I like PB Blaster or Kroil for an actual penetrating oil for loosening stuck nuts/bolts. You sure aren't being very careful with the stuff you plan to sell. '03 and older model batteries are WAY easier to remove and install than '04 and newer. I absolutely HATE those one time use only crimp clamps H-D uses. Japanese bikes use wire clamps that can be removed and reinstalled without any tools. Most of the time you can find them that fit on H-D hoses. Considering what they cost, I can't help but wonder why Harleys rust and corrode worse than most Japanese bikes. Timing covers on '04 and up Sportsters are riveted on. Pretty obvious that bike came with buckhorn bars (my favorite kind of handlebar) because all the cables are way too long, not to mention those low bars hit the tank. It was a LOT cooler before than it will be BLACK. There is nothing uglier than a YABOB (Yet Another Blacked Out Bike) Guess I won't be watching any more videos on this bike. Sad. You could have done something really cool with it. Other colors of paint don't cost any more than black, and look a zillion times better.

Lolol Great show man and Kool Sportster. Love my LOWBROW CHOPPER

I appreciate the info video on how to check a sportster I'm use it when I buy one in the spring

If you guys lived near by, I would definately hire you to do work on my new Harley! Todd is a sharp guy and the camerman does great work. So many cameramen are incompetent. I'm 61 y/o and I've just recently discovered how sweet Harleys are. THey never interested me because they were so wide and heavy and the clutch is TERRIBLE. I love the Sporters. I love the simplicity of the Harleys. ANd the vintage simplicity is so cool

What saddle bags are those?

So helpful to find this series
Recently got a 2000 handed down for my first bike and so much to learn but this seems like a great place to do it! 👏

Murder it out !
Just sell me the MIKUNI

Remember with a Harley Davidson , LOCKTITE is your friend

FLAT SLIDE !!!
It's period correct !
No CV's or EG's
I'll buy the MIKUNI & Thunder Header

How in the world did you get this bike for 2400

I just picked up a very similar sportster. Watched the “what to look for video” on my way to pick it up. It helped a ton just making sure I wasn’t getting a project. I’m excited to mod it!

Instead of using an adjustable wrench on the screw driver shaft you can use a box end wrench on the handle that’s why the handles are shaped the way they are, love the content keep up the good work brother

Follow you as you a good job but boy it is Not convenient to work with that long hair as you touch it every minute it must irritate.

OWNED AND HOTRODDED TO HELL A COUPLE IN MY TIME..
BOTH GEN 5 .....THE GOOD ONES...BEST EVER.

Dude just found this and love this dude haha. So real. Was positive about taking bags off then sounded like me when lmao

Hey Todd Bruce here ,how do I get ahold of u? I have questions

The ground wire to the tank is because the tank is likely mounted on rubber stand-offs. If the tank is isolated and the fuel filler touchs it there can be a spark from the fuel nozzle to the filler neck where fuel vapor is present. Fuel pumps should have a ground that customers connect to the vehicle but of course no one would bother. When I fill my airplane the fuel filling station has a ground strap I connect to the plane for this reason. By grounding the tank to the frame there is no potential for a voltage and arc to develop at the filler neck. The potential develops at the wheels looking to discharge to the ground. No spark at the fuel tank.

Do you offer help with a problem with my 2002 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883C?

Todd is hilarious......🙂

Still waiting for season 2 with a “WOO” counter.

Nice modifications… will follow along

any chance you have the 100th anniversary engine covers and air cleaner cover still? I could also use the Engine Guard. My wife just WON a 2003 1200S model with 8k miles at the rally here in New Mexico. Im now on the lookout for some of the 100th anniversary edition accessories to add to the bike for her. Yep....maybe that front fender too if you still have all these parts. Thanks!

When you washed the bike with the seat off...how did you protect the electrical stuff under the seat?

I've watched this video three times now. Great way to feature products and show how doable it all is. Todd is entertaining even if he has a disdain for the stock bike. Personally, liked this bike much more before they started tearing into it. Anniversary bikes are so pretty. The finished bike looked cheap and confused imo. Turned a desirable $2,500 bike into a slightly less desirable $3,500 bike.

Love the videos and reggae music. Just got myself a 2007 1200c

I just bought my second bike and its an 05 sportster 1200. Ive been looking up videos to learn more about them because I of course started on a Rebel 250! But I just wanted to say how easily these videos are to follow. TODD IS AWESOME! Thanks so much for the knowledge

Selling the unused parts for auction after you man handle this crap and throw it around? No thanks bro.

Todds a riot.😂

Thank you, Todd for all of your great work and jobs well done and for helping me with working on my, Saturday Sporster, I need all the help I can get and you are the Technician that has all the information that I need, keep up the great work 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🏁🏁🏁💯💯💯💥💥💥

Amazing how fkn ugly those bags made the bike !!

This series is going to help me a lot. Thanks!

Entertaining and informative.. in the end it will be a fun ride, I'm sure 🤙

If theres one valuable lesson here.. its to your nuts over night

I'd grab all those parts if I could afford them....

PLEASE use something better than WD!

My goodness you called it an engine, I wanna kiss you right on the mouth! Haha
