Harley Davidson: Re-attach Shell & Start Engine

Okay, we're gaining on it now. We're going to be riding before too long. Next we take--we're going to put this on here. We want to be real careful because you're going to be real upset with this pretty paint job if you scratch it up or dent it up at this point. So take it easy. I guess what I should show you too before we go, right here are two tabs that must fit here. It's not a matter of just getting it on here. They have to fit in these rubber-mounted spots right here. And that can be a little tricky at times. So, don't be afraid to get right in there and take a look. Well, just like we rehearsed. Couldn't have done that better. And then you come down here and there's this thumb screw. Again, we just lock that into place. You take and you close the seat down. Okay, so I'm feeling fairly confident, but before I start this beast, I just want to go over what we're going to need and what we used. We had to have a flat head screwdriver, a ten millimeter wrench, a five millimeter, and then a pair of pliers were the only tools that we had to have for this. So it's not a big tool kind of a thing. So, if we've done this right, I'm going to come over here, and I'm going to turn the power on, I want to reach up here and put it into the run position, and I'm certainly going to certainly make sure that it is in neutral. Always make sure, never assume. I've got my green neutral light on, so I know it's in neutral. And then next we're going to go ahead--and which by the way is a good indicator that we've got power. So let's see what happens. Well, just like we rehearsed, just like we were hoping for. We successfully put in a battery. I wish I could spend a little more time with you on this video now, but quite frankly, it is a warm day, and I've got plenty of bike riding to do. Thanks for watching.
