Doc Harley: Servicing your Harley-Davidson Do and Don't

I have an '05 wide Glide(carb'd).
Is it ok to use regular hose clamps, since my bike is carbureted, and doesn't have high pressure fuel lines?

Thanks for the vrod info

Love the video but I wish I had seen it last week. I just used radiator-style screw clamps on my fuel filter rebuild.

Complete HD noob here. Would appreciate as many Do and Don't videos as you are willing to create. Thank you!

Don't use silicone O rings just because they are cheap.
Torque to spec.
It leaks because it's the wrong part not because the threads need stripping.

If you still own a Harley you must support wokeness. If you don’t condemn it you condone it

What about crush washers.

How about Q&A on fuel system whoas.

been wrenching for 50+ years.....never have seen a mini clamp fail yet.....b/s doc......

Thanks doc!

Good information, especially the hose clamps, they look like hell and scream " I was in a hurry".

What are those types of clamps called?

Love this

Does my 04 cutom need to be level when checking engine and transmission level

Where can that tool be purchased to install the correct clamp.

Thank you, Doc,bit late seeing this. Really appreciate the brains- trust @ Low Country Harley.

Can you lift up a 2017 heritage gas tank? Run a speaker wire without removing the whole entire tank.

Outstanding video

My name is Harley Davidson.

Thanks for advice brilliant 👍🏻

I’m guilty of using the hose clamp.😅

Very helpful

Love it keep em coming!

Someone should tell GM, Jaguar, Rolls Royce and Mercedes design and assembly engineers that hose clamps don't work on low pressure fuel pipes. I would imagine that Harley vibrations could possibly shake them loose but seeing that my 1970 Norton Commando can't...........

Much appreciated, Doc!

Please do more of these videos. They are very helpful.
Thank you.

Where do you find the tool for those clamps?

Very useful video. Thank you.

Yes Like the dos and don'ts - thanks

Does the main fuse have to be removed in order to unplug the q2 sensors

I see all kinds of videos on bring up trouble codes on Baggers Where are they on a 2023 cruiser with the handlebar clamp digtal speedometer cluster and how do you bring them up

Please don’t put pipe dope on your drain plugs. It is not necessary and just makes a mess. We clean that off during oil changes and put a new oil ring on. This are not heavily torqued and you can easily put too much and cross thread your plug going in.

Great advice

Where do you get the correct hose clamps and tool to apply them? All the clamps at my local stores are the screw type. :(

those harley clamps that “we’re supposed to use” have a high failure rate. Ask anyone with a wethead.
So maybe use your infinite wisdom to influence change with the Harley designers, eh?

Does Harley sell an o-ring kit (like the one for oil/tranny service) for a fuel filter and regulator service? Thanks...

More do's and don't vids.

Thank you Doc, I enjoy the DOs and DON'Ts, please provide more of them!

GREAT VIDEO

Thanks Doc!

Those hose clamps are apparently called ear hose clamps. I ordered a set with pliers for not much. Definitely need it for the pan america.

Nothing like listening to someone with intelligence and experience, one of my go to channels!

Great Doc, that was awesome. What do you think about Rocker Lockers?

The do/don't are some of my favorite segments. Please continue to 'do', them and 'don't', stop.

I use the proper-sized spring clamps on my fuel lines, petcock and pump. Always has worked for me. And they're easier to install than those worm clamps.

What are those furl pump clamps called? Also. On tool manufacturers who do you consider a good tool brsnd/maker? Thanks. Always learn something from you.

I need to ask you a question about My 2010 HD Ultra Classic the Speedometer. What’s the best way to contact and ask you. Thanx

Keep them coming, people do not know how to read manuals anymore , or I should say take the time ! People want instant gratification now days , when you spend the money on a nice bike , do it the right way , thanks for sharing

Excellent list. Please do some more!
