Nice Bike man. Great start up after so many years. And to the people that talk about the kicker kicking back... If you knew how to start the bitch, You wouldnt have that problem. If you kick the fucker all the way and hold.. The kicker shaft gear will disengage! There are ears on the gear plate so that you wont get a mule kick! Get it!??  Oh.. And your shit has to run right. Chances are if you dont know how to start it...You dont know how to tune it! LMFAO!

@bradleywilliamfuller Actually the first 1000's were'nt produced untill late 1972 and stayed in production untill 1985 when the Evo first appeared. The early sportys were indeed 883's but for some un explained reason Harley listed them as having 900cc's So maybe you were a little premature in your assesment of the other gentleman.. Either way LONG LIVE THE IRONHEAD!!!

Looked at the video agian,your very lucky she didnt kick you back. Ironkickers are knee breakers.

>>> Thanks for the comments guys, it is a 67 xlch. it was actually stored with gas, i forgot to ad that i cleaned out the carb too. after i got it running, i chopped the whole bike up, but the motor is still untouched after all of those years. I have learned how to kick it too! lol. to see how it looks now, search "vfuturer" on youtube.

thats not a 883 dumass 100cc ironhead sportster made from late 50's or ear;y 60's till 1984

I agree, Looks like your looking for a broken knee. Follow through all the way will the kick and you will save your knee. Kick it like you mean it, not like you are thinking about starting it. I have a 1968 XLCH so I speak from experience.
