Welcome to Fix My Hog Site Review

Hello and welcome to Fix My Hog. We've been the number one source for Harley-Davidson How-to videos since 2004 and we really started to help any rider maintain and do performance upgrades on their Harley-Davidson. Really anything from oil changes to performance upgrades, Exhaust systems, clutch performance, clutches, advanced repairs, whatever you need to help reduce some of the cost by doing some of the things yourself when it comes to your Harley Davidson. And really we want people to know more about their motorcycles, how they work. Not only if you're doing yourself, but if someone is doing the work on your motorcycle for you.

What to look for, what to be conscious of when you're riding, just safety reasons. The more you know about your motorcycle, the more you'll enjoy it, and that's, that's how we started, and, you're on the homepage here, and we, broke down the videos into several different categories. And if you just keep scrolling down, you'll see recent videos Harley Maintenance videos, Beyond Basic Maintenance, Style and Performance Upgrades, Harley tips-everyday Hog How-to and Fix My Hog classes and I'll get into these a little bit more, but, right on the homepage it really jumps into all the videos we have and how we break them out on the website. And one thing I do, wanna bring your attention to, and I look for this on any website that I'm on, I always go down and try and find the "ABOUT US" button, and, when I click on that, it'll, it'll just give me a better feeling, for, how did the site come about? What's it all about?

What are they doing? Are they real peoples? you know, sometimes it just seems a little weird nowadays you go to a site and there's no information about the people behind the product or the business and, Fix My Hog is, is a business. I'll go back to the homepage and, we talked 'bout under, under categories here on the homepage, and, right here in the "Video" tabs, I just wanna quickly walk you through this navigation. Recent videos, and basically, that's every single video we have.

It's an ongoing list of our, our, our video post, most recent to oldest. And, here's some we actually posted this week all the way from changing out Derby Covers, new Air Intake Install, Clutch Cover, et cetera, et cetera and you keep going down, it'll just give you an ongoing list of videos as we posted them over the years, and as you can see that list goes on and on and on, covering all the videos that we have. You came to the site, maybe, "Hey, who are these guys? do they have any free videos?" This list here, So, "Videos", 'Free videos'. This will give you a taste for exactly how we present information, there's a ton of free tips and tricks.

I think we're over a hundred free videos, several hours of videos for you to go through, and, and, and see how we present information, the detail that we provide it in. So, those are in the Free Section. 'Member Videos', obviously, those are member videos and you'll see the "PREMIUM" tag on it, and we'll go into that later where you can become a member, there's an annual fee, and you can watch all the videos on the site. But how do we break down the videos? You came to the site, you ride a-- You wanna do a maintenance on your motorcycle.

You want to do your 1,000 mile service, your 5,000, 15,000, 25,000 mile service, and you ride a Road King so that's a Touring bike, you ride a trike, you ride a Softail and or Dyna or, or a Sportster, and we want-- and we broke this down so you can go in and say, "Okay. How do I service my Touring bike, my Road King, my Ultra, my Electra, you know, the Limited. Whatever may be in the Touring class that Harley duc, Harley defines as a Touring motorcycle, and you know, we just start you right off. Harley-Davidson Tools. Where do you start?

What tools do I need? What products do I need? And then, we have these laid out to follow Bob and Mark through the procedures that they do, to do a service on a motorcycle. So, this is their working order and basically what you should follow along with as well. So, what are your tools and products?

Your battery? You know, taking the seat off, testing the battery, doing the fluids all the way through. Everything pretty much on your checklist in your Factory Service Manual, that grid, everything that has to be done and it's laid out in a format that no matter where you are, it, you'll watch the video, and, it will say "Next "Video" and that's the next video in the Service. You'll also notice that every video, if, if it's a premium video, at least has a preview in previews or anywhere from a minute to six minutes long to give you a fill of that procedure, and if you are a member, you're already logged in and you wouldn't even see this it would just play the whole, the whole video. Back to the "Videos" tab.

So, that's 'Maintenance' and you picked your model. What's 'Beyond Basic Maintenance'? And really, that we'll look at the "Touring" section again, and that is, you know, rebuilding things, things that have been in service for a long time, they need to get attention and get rebuilt so, Master cylinders, Fuel Filters and Pumps, Motor Mount issues that need to be replaced after oil and environment breaks down the Motor Mount which is actually under the Rectifier here. So, there's just , you know, bigger procedures like if you, if you break a Bell Rockets in your Belt, breaks a Belt, will show you how to change the, the belt on your, on your motorcycle. So once again, you know, each section is, is in for Maintenance, Beyond, Style and Performance, is broken up into by model, so Style and Performance just looks like Softail & Dyna.

Here we're looking at the covers that we installed, the Roland Sands Clarity Line, upgrade from the Stock Covers and Air Cleaner to a see-through, pretty cool actually, you can see that all the parts moving in the cam compartment, and the Rocker boxes. But another thing, what is, you know, Performance. And one of the big things that everyone wants to do is, change the exhaust. If you change the exhaust you need to change the air intake. Also, you need to remap it.

So, we have videos on that, we have style related which is, Grips. cooling products that are out there to help you keep your motorcycle running cool especially in traffic during the summer forward controls. So, that's the Upgrades. 'Everyday Hog How-to', is just great tips that we've, we've amassed over the years, as you can see, everything from Leather Care, Simple Ignition Switch tips, how to, you know, create funnel that's out there to help drain the fluid without making a mess, how to fix a Strip Thread, how to use Dielectric Grease, little bit more about Manual. so, all these great tips, and many of these are free.

So, make sure to check 'em all out and, you know, that's Everyday Hog How-To and then 'Fix My Hog classes'. These are more in-depth classes that we just didn't wanna put into 'Maintenance and Performance". These are more repair, total rebuilt or electrical systems. You know, it's, it's basically a class walking you through how the electrical systems work in general and especially on our motorcycles, handlebars, hours of information that you might have seen in a video that says, "Yeah, buy these ape hangers and put them on in 20 minutes." Our class is very detailed and we go step- by- step. You can see "21 minutes" just removing the Lights and the Nacelle on this Road King and taking the bike apart and talking about the bushings and rewiring and soldering and, so classes are very very detailed.

We have several different ones here for you to check out. One last thing before I go on this video, There are two Video Indexes. If you wanna see everything A to Z, there we go. Everything that you could possibly-- All our videos are listed here from A to Z. If you wanna see it more in a Table Of Contents, like you would see in your Factory Service Manual, we break it down exactly like, like the manual does even by number, 'General', then we get into 'Service', you know, so, one of the things on "Service", once again, here's the 'Sportster' Section, There is also a break down or an index of everything, every video on the, the,-- this would be 'Maintenance' 'Sportster', but a listing of every single one And when trying one of these you could follow 'em step- by- step by- step to go through.

So, that's a quick overview of the categories. How do you find what you want on the site? Obviously going through the 'Table Of Contents', any 'Video Index' and also this awesome "Search" box, which I'll go into a little bit further. But, you know, Hey, I just want to know about what videos do you have on 'Clutch', You plug that in there and then you're gonna get a running list of all the clutch related issues we have on the site. Will get into this little bit later, but 'Harley Tips'.

These are basically Tech Q & A questions from folks over the years that ask , "I got this problem Sports is not getting spark, what's going on?" You know, folks ask the question, we've put in the answer, and we also always try and obviously tie it to a video and we use tags to tie them all together to show you everything that's related with Starters, you know, in case that question didn't answer, that question and answer didn't get to your, your issue. We have these here. So, that's it for now. I'll come back and do a little bit more on really searching the site and going through it in a little bit more detail. But that's a look at Fix My Hog How we break down the videos, some of the, the navigational tips, and this is all you know, just, you know, someone stopping by the site and, and checking it out.
