What a lesson in engine engineering/building. Mind blown. Very interesting episode.

The secret to getting these projects done...is at least one,,,...or two sessions a week... even when you really don't want to punch the clock.. Spring is around the corner.... Eh 😎

🤣🤙❤️🙏👏🏻

Great video ! Hoping to see a follow up video with a new Bonneville speed record later this year.

Credit to Rick Jones of Winnipeg for the video footage at 0:35. Thanks again, Keith!

Great interview Keith with some famous Canadian's still at it

those gear heads take a flathead to a hole new level great vide !!!!!!!! HAPPY TRAILS

Got two buddies... one campaigned a Vincent ... another a Honda 100 I believe push rod model.... Think he still holds the record at 52... mph.... Eh 😎

Magnificent video. Really enjoyed it. The body of the bike reminds me of a norton kneeler I saw on Sammy millers museum channel. These guys are geniuses. Take care mate cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

That last truck freestyling was the only thing worth watching. He was actually stepping on the throttle and doing things that was worthwhile and decently entertaining.

NOT Monster JAM, they have not been there for years.

Thanks, this was helpfull The proper alignment tool is $200+ cant justify for a one time use. Ill make one or try to anyway.

Lot of history in that bike.

Definitely looks like a nice ride for that shovel, inspiring me to get mine road worthy ! Could use a rebuild . That museum looked interesting also. Thanks for the video

have you thought about grinding the head bolt down a thou. GREAT WORK HAPPY WRENCHING

I got a pair of 45's in the stable.... my military trimmed Wla isn't a 100 point unit.... When I first posted photos on the Wla-Wlc f/book site I had several people point out.. this and that... one was I had the wrong choke lever on the Wla.... We're all familiar with " nose art " found on many Warbirds... fighter's..bomber... but nose art was also found on tanks.. Jeeps.... and WWII Harley's... I added nose art to my fender mounted ammo box. .. again, others had... issues... My point is..like you... it's fitted out as I like it... it looks great... and 99.999999 % of people don't know.. or care.. I got the wrong choke lever... 😎

Awesome engine wow.

Super

✨️ Cool.. Thanks for Taking Us Along. 🫡 👍

Do you have any 45” flathead parts for sale?

Great progress mate cheers

Clear silicone will probably hold that bulb retainer in nicely and its less permanent than epoxy. The nail is a good idea , drill the hole slightly smaller and retain it with CA glue.

Hi Keith When i put the rivets on my floor boards i made a simple tool . I took a piece of 3/16 flat stock about 1/2" wide , 5" long and drilled 2 holes side by side width wise close to the end. Then i cut off the flat stock just below the center of the two holes and what i was left with was just half circles at the bottom. If you use that to drive the rivets from the back side it will curve the split part of the rivets over very nicely. I couldnt believe how good it worked. You can experiment with the hole size and adjust it with a file until your happy with the results. Also you can get split rivets cheap online the same dimension as the ones needed for the bike. I think i got them on ebay Hopefully you can understand my explanation , i can send you a picture if not

Excellent work as usual Keith, I've restored two WLA's in the past and gathering parts for my third. I never fail to learn something from your videos. Looking forward to the next one.

FYI: Steven's Point Wis... July -9-11 2025 Wla-WlC... solo .sidecars day rides.... I'm sure you're aware of the f.book Military Harley-Davidson WLC & WLA group,. 😎 Eh

the vl flathead has to push to open throttle because the same controller opens the oil pump flow in case you ever play with one HAPPY TRAILS

Szépek

Any progress on these is a step towards completion .... I try and hit my 2 pokers in the fire at least once or twice a week... things start turning green in 3-4 months.... longer for you ... and hopefully I can enjoy the ride 😎

Love it brother! ❤

Working with fire and ice!

Hey Keith, thanks for showing the top of the fork. My fork is pretty wasted at the top. I knew about the cable slots but didn't realize there is also a keyway!

Another Ebayer said you may be interested in the 1914 Flanders B engine I have listed for sale there but you are unable to view it on Ebay in Canada. If your interested let me know how to get information about it to you. Mark

Con Grats on getting the bits out.... we attempted to pull the handlebar stem off my 29' Motobecane... bicycle type.... paint gun heated... soaked for days with penetrating oil... paint gunned again...hammered away.... no movement... so.. plan B .... broke out the torch ... made a puller... Got it hot enough we felt comfortable with... didn't want to damage the treads.... we bent the puller, ..... So, there is no plan C... was able to replace and pack the steering head bearings and assembled ... 😎

It'd be a runner shortly ... :)

Going to be a ripper bike when you finish it

Good job Waylon 👏 I think your hiccups were noticed in the shaking of your video-ing.😏

I'd like to have that 4 A ring

awesome work....Did you make the chevrons?

I’m assuming they have you two sets of plates how they do now and he kept one pristine for the history

Hi ,I have been working on Tiger Cub Engines for 25 years that blow out on the back of the gear box is very common on Tiger Cubs. The reason it happens is because those tread holes where the case screws screw in over the years get filled up with jointing compound and when you put the case screw in it will hydraulics the compound and that is what causes the cracking in the case it has nothing to do with any other parts in the gear box. You will need to check all the houseings where the case screws fit because it is very common to see splits down the sides on them on Tiger Cubs. The screw you was tried in to remove which holds the end of the kick start spring should be left in place as a stop plate on the other side of it and no need to be removed. Hope this helps you out Steve from England

Maybe issued, looks never mounted?

Cool stuff

Nice I'm freezing my ass off in garage even with a small heater. Have to keep on wrenching just wish it was old Harleys but money is money .did a few 70s resto's for customers the older the better.

Looks like you have a busy shop.

I want to build something like that with a modern drive train.

Keep plugging away on the various projects.... you can take the Flanders to Barber and enter the " Century Race " .... 😎

The Parkerizing came out very well... uniform coloring .... I've done it a couple of times.... interesting to watch the metal get the color.... :)

Great video mate cheers

So cool keith

Happy New Year Sir. Keep up the good work.
