Springer Front End Inspection

Duration: 6:05

Bob walks us through simple inspection on the springer front end. Like any pre-ride inspection and when doing service this is a must check area. This video is a great overview of the springer construction and a review of the need for inspection for safety and to get the best performance out of your Harley.

This video has been a member favorite for some time so we produced even more content on the subject.

We produced a separate multi-hour video class on rebuilding a Harley Springer here.

We also installed a Paughco springer front end during our frame swap video series here.

    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.
