If your Harley is not running the way it should, it might be time to rebuild the carburetor. The fuel to run the Harley runs through the carburetor, mixing with the right amount of air, leaving sediment and particles behind gumming up the inner works of the carburetor. Once the particles are in the carburetor, the bike will not perform as it should. It will run sluggish and possibly not even start. A rebuild kit for the carburetor can be purchased at most motorcycle part supply stores. The process of rebuilding a carburetor is not too difficult. Keep the work area and the carburetor clean while rebuilding. Clean parts as they are removed and installed and reinstalled in the carburetor. It is a good...

I like to observe other bikers and usually get a chuckle out of trying to match the biker to the bike. It's a fun pastime when we are sitting out on the deck on Sundays at Cocodries on Navarre Beach where they have a big biker party every Sunday. Oh, by the way Navarre Beach is in the Florida Panhandle! Anyway, back to my story. I remember one biker in particular that was easy to match up to his bike. He was an older buy who looked like a mountain man with a huge long beard and everything he had on had fringe on it. Guess what? So did his bike! There are many accessories that you can get to customize your motorcycle and make it more unique and original so that it doesn't have that straight off the...

we think of the business empires that were started in garages, images of computer whiz-kids immediately come to mind. But the trend of giant Oaks from little acorns goes back much further than this. As far as motorcycles are concerned, they don't come much bigger than Harley Davidson and Honda, who as the pioneers of the motorcycle culture held a commonality in that their dreams were born on different sides of the globe from a dislike of bikes. By bikes, I mean of course, the pedal variety. In 1903 William Harley and Arthur Davidson with the help of Arthurs brother, Walter, took their first steps on the road to glory in an attempt to conquer the hills of Milwaukee with a motor powered bicycle. Their...

For many years now there are certain words and terms which are very clearly associated with Harley Davidson motorcycles. Yet although these Harley Davidson terms have been around for many years now they are now commonly used by others when they are building their own custom choppers. In this article we look at a few of the more common terms being used today by builders of custom choppers that were first introduced by the Harley Davidson Motorcycle Company. Term 1 - Ape Hangers are the types of handlebars to be found on many custom motorbikes which have been elevated to a height that then places the hands of the motorcyclist above their shoulders.

Some Harley owners like to fix their own bikes, thereby saving both money and riding time. An Harley Davidson can experience electrical problems at any time, but there can be a wait for a service appointment at some repair shops. The most common cause of electrical problems on a Harley Davidson is the battery or the voltage regulator. Troubleshooting can be performed in any garage, and it saves on expensive service bills. When an ignition switch is bad, remove the old one and install the new ignition switch. Please note that this instruction is for an Harley with the ignition switch located on the tank instrument panel. Some ignition switches install on the forks of the bike. Refer to the owners...

Harley handlebars are very distinct. Not only because the whole bike itself carries the Harley Davidson logo but also because of its appearance. Jokingly termed as “Ape Hangers” or “Armpit Driers”, these handlebars can work well even if your bike is manufactured by another brand. These high handlebars first came into scene during the 50’s up to the 60’s. The 1963 movie “Easy Riders” featured a Captain America motorbike that had handles such as this. Although they are stylish, some people find it harder to maneuver than the traditional handlebars. Because of its height, it is also more tiring for the arms. There are also several states in America that prohibits bikes that have handles...

My first Motorbike was a 1929 Harley-Davidson with sidecar. My father with my younger brother took me to pick it up and we towed it home with a rope behind the car and me, at the age of 18 years, hanging on to the wide handlebars for grim life. I didn't have a motorbike license at the time but quickly had it out on the back roads with my brother in the sidecar. It wasn't the fastest of motorbikes but it could have pulled a house down with two 650cc pots in a V. I remember well on the first outing when my brother pushed the handlebars to onside sending the machine out into the center of the road he could see the parked car, which the sidecar was heading straight at while I was concentrating in just...

The panhead is one of the older engines that Harleys used back in the past. Through time it was replaced by Harley shovelhead.

A Harley is not just a bike. It is a treasure to own - a true blue blooded biker's most prized possession. But if you posses one of these great mechanical miracles - do you really own them? Can you be absolutely sure, that as confidently as you can say "This one Belongs to me", your wheels will be able to declare you as its owner?

Last year we went to Yellowstone National Park in August. It was a detour for many Harley enthusiasts on their way to some big rally back East. It was so fun as we watched from our hotel the bikers stream into town. The men in their Harley Davidson leather jackets, the women in their leather Harley jackets, ready for a little break. All dressed in leather and black with ponytails streaming down their backs, tired after a long days ride; it was fun to talk to them in restaurants and in the park of tales of riding across country and the sights and people they have seen and met. Kind people with a love of their bikes, a love of the open road and for the most part a love of their country and the people...

More than 111,000 motorcycles have been included in the largest Harley recall in recent history. The Harley recall includes Harley-Davidson touring and custom motorcycles, as well as trikes manufactured between June, 2008 and November 2009. This Harley recall occurred after the bike manufacturer crash-tested these models and found defects in the fuel tank mounts which could cause the tanks to leak and ignite upon a severe front-end collision. The recalled Harley-Davidson bikes were shipped worldwide, and efforts by the company are being made to contact individual buyers. The Harley recall will require owners to bring bikes to an authorized Harley dealer to have proper brackets fitted to the fuel...

Some things shouldn't be left to chance. Having proper Harley motorbike insurance on your ride is one of those things. Ding-a-ling! My girlfriend held a tiny pewter bell and tinkled it back and forth in front of my face. "It's a gremlin bell!" She said smiling. "You give it to someone that rides a bike and it is supposed to ward off bad luck and accidents!" I raised my eyebrows at her silly superstitions. But I figured any extra help couldn't hurt. I attached the tiny bell to my bike that night and hit the streets with my riding buddies. The riding that night got a little hairy in the thick traffic-packed city. Unfortunately the gremlin bell did not prevent a minor low-siding due to a careless cager...

There is quite no feeling like owning a Harley Davidson. After all, it is considered to be one of the best bikes in the world today. There aren't too many bikes that can replicate the kind of success that Harley Davidson enjoys today.

However, if you truly want to have a custom bike that is truly yours, then you will have to go in for a nice Harley Frame for your bike.

Police Harleys. Like most of you, I've seen police on Harley-Davidson motorcycles since I was a kid. Not for all of the one hundred years that Harley-Davidson has been supplying motorcycles to police. Although some days it feels like it. Harley started producing motorcycles for police departments in 1908 and has been doing so ever since. Today there are police on Harleys in 45 countries. Harleys are used in more than 3,400 police agencies in the U.S. alone.

Atmospheric Inlet Valve - The falling of the pistons activates the opening of inlet valves by causing a vacuum. Usually found in the early single cylinder Harleys.

During the years between 1964 and 1966, Harley Davidson really built some great motorcycles that had some really impressive features that consumers have continued to enjoy. The 1964 Harley-Davidson XLCH Sportster motorcycle's impressive 883-cc V-twin engine out-powered most competitors during that era. The 1965 Harley-Davidson FL Electra-Glide motorcycle was the last Harley fitted with the venerable pan-head engine and the first big Harley with an electric start, which made this combo a highly coveted collectible. For Harley Davidson, 1965 marked the end of an era. The Electra-Glide, with its electric starter, made its debut, but it would be the last year for the famous pan-head V-twin that was...

"I just left from the Harley dealership and I might not go back! They wouldn't negotiate with me at all. It was like they just didn't care". For all the Harley sales reps out there, I apologize on their behalf. You see, I used to be one and I understand their coarse attitudes. That's why I've written an e-book called "How to buy a Harley". Harley sales reps are taught that Harleys represent a dream purchase; something to be 'acquired' or 'cherished' like a '57 Chevy or a Rolex® watch. Unfortunately, they haven't all been taught humility and let's face it, some sales people have no people skills. They sometimes forget their bikes can cost more than cars and really are a luxury. They...

Harley-Davidson performance has been the subject of many books. Many of these books go into great detail, right down to the nuts and bolts. Our purpose here is to help you understand and define what power you need and what is necessary to make that power. WHAT IS PERFORMANCE Harley-Davidson performance means different things to different riders. To some, it's just about getting a little extra power and better sound from their Harley. Some want to make 100 hp or more for those stop light to stop light runs. Or they might want to enter one of those dyno drags. That's all good, but when you modify your engine that much, you can create problems with heat, noise, maintenance, reliability and rideability...

In a surprising change the founding directors of The Legal Recovery Group plc, Dean Cox and Andrew Harley have gone their separate ways. The Dynamic Duo, as they had been dubbed by the industry has parted company each taking full control of separate parts of the Groups business. Cox will continue to manage LRG,  with sales and operational management by Harley,  who will leave once the move to the new Solihull offices has been completed. Harley will then take full control of UK Insure Direct which in his words was, being strangled by its own success. Neil Wadsworth, the finance director commented, Harley had taken overall responsibility for the brokerage sometime ago but felt he was being...

On my way back from an errand the other day I passed by the Harley-Davidson dealership. Harley-Davidson has marketing down to a science. Think about what vision pops to mind when you see a Harley? For most, it’s a 40 something accountant being able to "step outside his box". Leathers on, wind blowing through his hair and the loud, unmistakable sound of a big hog speeding down the open road. It’s not about the bike – it’s about the experience. Now that’s marketing. The typical Harley-Davidson costs between $15k to 30k? Sound about right? Now that’s the same price as a vehicle but with one big difference. A car is a necessity. The bike is a luxury. It comes from the disposable part of the...

Being informed about Harley motorbike insurance before you buy and knowing where to look are the keys to saving money. Classic Harley motorbike insurance is cheaper for many reasons. Insurance companies base their rates on how likely there is to be a claim made. Statistics show that there are less claims made on classic bikes that newer models. The majority of owners that own classic motorbikes are older. They typically own a home that has a garage and therefore puts them less at risk of having their bike stolen. Classic bikes are not usually stolen because there is not a big market for people looking to buy them. A thief would rather steal a new bike that they could sell very quickly. However, if...

Trends can be interesting things to watch especially in the world of motorcycling. With the explosion of everything custom chopper in the middle and late 2000s and the proliferation of high end custom bike builders it looked as though the main stream media driven segment of the biker world was leaning towards flash and show over guts and go. Throw in the whirlwind of bike building based television shows such as Jesse James, Billy Lane, the guys at Orange County Choppers and more, and many riders began to worry that the world of motorcycling was being flipped on its ear. Even with the immense popularity of the Harley-Davidson Motor Company over the years they, of course, have their detractors. Those...

As all Harley-Davidson fans know, the bike has the typical badass American image that is so appealing to bikers all over the world. Over the years, the Harley, as it is so popularly called, has become the very image of adventure and daredevilry. Aggression and violence as necessary attributes have been tagged to it. This is also due to the reason that throughout time, in movies and literature the bike has always been associated with violence and aggression. It has been mostly portrayed as a gangster bike. However, as a result, in spite of its overwhelming popularity, the Harley-Davidson image has been tarnished to a great extent. And often, this has been unfairly so, because there has been a point...

The rumor mill never seems to slow down when it comes to Harley-Davidson and its future bikes. I guess that kind of passion and curiosity is what drives the MoCo. The rumor of a factory Harley-Davidson trike making a comeback after more than three decades is true. The new Tri Glide Ultra Classic will be available at your local Harley dealer in limited numbers as a 2009 model. Let's start with what the machine is and isn't.

At the first part of this series I wrote about LDR (Long Distance Riding) in general. The point being that the stock Sportster can do it easily if the rider has good attitude and doesn't want a luxury couch experience. Opinions about what is LDR do vary, for some 1000 miles in 24 hours is LDR, for others it may be a month-long journey. But what could be done to make the journey a little more convenient? A few small and cheap adaptations might be in place. They're not going to take the wind away, they just make your life a little bit easier. These days everyone has some kind of electrical gadget. They're good but they need recharging. When camping, no electricity is available. These electrical...

Did you ever wish you could compare a few of your favorite motorcycles for a week, a month, a year? You know pick two or three different makes and models, take them home, ride them and get a feel for them. Just to see which one you really like the best. I did just that. I have a Harley Davidson Sportster 883 low and a Honda Vtx1300s. I love riding both of them. I can't really say that I like one over the other. Although they each have a completely different ride. The Sportster has a stage one kit on it and seems to have a bit more zip off to the line. It rides a bit stiffer and the seat is rock hard. It is very maneuverable and is great for running about town or the local short hop here or there...
