The name might be hard to pronounce but Bob shows us how easy it is to work with them. Have the right tools and patience and get to it. Updated video to define Deutsch Connectors a little better.
Another great article in the July 2013 issue of American Iron Magazine.

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.

Bob and Mark demonstrate the professional technique for finding the tight spot in a Sportster’s rear wheel belt. You should do this without a rider or passenger and with the bike in neutral. They teach you how to check for belt tension and deflection and how to retorque the axle so you can give your bike a smoother ride.

Bob and Mark demonstrate the best way to empty 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.

Glad I took the time to watch the Videos and it answered a few questions I had been pondering.
Thank you Bobby! I saw you comments on the Lucky 7 DVD bundle but I had to update the page to add DVDs to the bundle.
That’s the perecft insight in a thread like this.
Nice, but this is a Molex connector, NOT a Deutsch.
Hi Dave, Which connector are you referring to as Molex? The one in the magazine or the one in Bob’s hand during the video?
Video has been updated. Thank you
