    After doing the install, my right side blinkers stopped working. The running lights work fine. Did I miss a wire or maybe short or ground a wire?

      Hi, Allen. We would be happy to assist you; we just need some more information. What is the make/model/year of your motorcycle?

    I put Baby Apes on my 08 XL1200C Sportster by using your video. Very well done and APPRECIATED.! I see why it costs so much at the dealership. Took me better part of a week. BUT, I am a Disabled Nam Vet. EVERYTHING takes me 3X as long to do as before. LOL. Just wanted to say THANKS!. I have used other videos, but this one was extra good with all the details. RIDE SAFE, RIDE HARD.

    Harley Fork Oil Service

    Bob and Mark demonstrate the best way to empty Harley fork oil from your Sportster’s front fork sliders and replace it with new oil. It can be a two-man job, so try to complete the service with a friend. Newer bikes mostly use 39-millimeter forks, but most bikes are preset with varying levels of spring in the sliders, so consult your manual before you begin this service. Like any other service, you should clean all of the parts that you remove with parts cleaner to ensure that your bike operates smoothly between services.

    Sportster Primary Chain Adjustment & Chain Tight Spot

    When you’re adjusting the primary chain on your Sportster model, it’s always specified to adjust it in the tightest spot of its travel. Whether you use the hot or the cold measurement, Harley specifies that you do it in the tightest area. Bob teaches you a quick and simple method for locating the tightest spot in the path of the chain. He stresses that any time you are servicing inside the primary you should always unhook the negative cable.

    Harley Sportster Spark Plugs Replacement

    Bob teaches you how to service the spark plugs on your Harley’s engine. Although you can clean and service your old spark plugs, Bob recommends just buying new ones because they are fairly inexpensive. You should purchase gapped, Harley-only spark plugs which usually come with a gap of 38-43,000th of an inch. After applying some anti-seize to the threads of the new plugs, you can thread them into the cylinder by hand and tighten them with a torque wrench and you’ll be good to go.
