Motorcycle Repair: priming oil pump ironhead, vice grips, oil line

Question
what is the right way to prime sportster for first time after rebuilt

Answer
Locate your oil line going to the oil pump. After fill the the oil tank, pinch off the oil line going to the pump with a pair of vice grips. Remov the line from the oil pump. Let oil run out of the line to make sure there is no air in it and reattach it. The oil pump will pick up the oil then.
Good luck and happy riding
