Hi. Great helpful vid. Question... You show the chrome headlight bracket bolting on to the lower tree through the two front holes. Aren't those holes also for tightening the tree to the forks or dual purpose? Wondering cuz I thought to see a torque wrench used. I am piecing a build together and guess I need a headlight bracket to go under the two bolts I just installed which I thought had sole purpose of squeezing the tree slots closed around the fork tube....

Congratulations on the subscribers. I did speedway racing back in the 80s. It was stupid expensive, life took over, had to drop it. I remember painting my daughters room a similar color, almost 25 years ago. Damn, times flies. Enjoying the videos, looking forward to the next.

Congrats on 1k subs! 🎉

Hell yeah !!!

do more uploads plz

Get it daddy

I've owned my 2006 FXSTBi from new. The rear is dropped so far it now has 2" of rear suspension. It has 4" over forks. It IS a chopper!!

😎👍😎

A chopper is a type of custom motorcycle which emerged in the US state of California in the late 1950s. A chopper employs modified steering angles and lengthened forks for a stretched-out appearance. They can be built from an original motorcycle which is modified ("chopped") or built from scratch. Some of the characteristic features of choppers are long front ends with extended forks often coupled with an increased rake angle, hardtail frames (frames without rear suspension), very tall "ape hanger" or very short "drag" handlebars, lengthened or stretched frames, and larger than stock front wheel. To be considered a chopper a motorcycle frame must be cut and welded at some point. I.e. the name chopper. The sissy bar, a set of tubes that connect the rear fender with the frame, and which are often extended several feet high, is a signature feature on many choppers.

Nuttin but a MONEY PIT! 😊😅😮😢😂

A chopper is a chopped up bike. End of story. Lol

Yes, there is. In order for a motorcycle to be a chopper, the frame must have been cut and significantly altered from the factory form. Hardtailing a swingarm frame or raking the neck for examples. A Bobber has had factory installed components removed and not replaced to reduce weight.

Very cool bike! 🔥🔥🔥

The weight of the motorcycle and gravity is the reason your table leans towards the drain, its downhill.

It always feels good to get an old machine going again.

Awesome content,please keep them coming 🤙

was wondering what you thought of that engraving tool.

My S&S doesn't have a tear drop air cleaner. It has a rain drop air cleaner because there ain't no cryin' on my bad motor scooter!

BRO!!! I have to know exactly what that blue/purple metallic paint is! That’s what I’ve been looking for!

Cool project, looks nice! I like how you're not afraid to take on different challenges, that's what it's all about! Never stop learning! Take er easy 🤘

Digging the Abyss logo on the rear, still practicing the pinstriping? It's a cool hobby, I got into it about five years ago. Haven't done much lately, except my helmet, I got a video on it if you feel like checking it out, have a good one 👍

why not just make 10 hotter?

hell yeah man. looks like she's running well. nice cruise around the lake.

i thought i was gonna learn how to get em so clean but you got a lathe that aint happening i gotta go oldschool with a grinder

Thanks for this video, does it FLH frame ? What is the different FLH and FX frame ?

👍🏻🇨🇦

If you back a big motorcycle on a hf lift and take the front tire off it will tip forward.

I just bet that ride feels a lot tighter now

It already was a sweet ride. You just made it all the more! Let it ride 😊

Excellent job!! I've really enjoyed watching this series. 😊

The spring in any oil seal faces the oil.

👍🏻🇨🇦

Fantastic video! Congrats on the first start! On Independence Day at boot! Go put some miles on those HD's with your Pops. You both have earned it! My favorite rides have been with my son. Times well spent and long remembered.

This sure makes me glad to have the "older" version of the HF table lift.

Very nice frame repair! Sweet welds!

How that time set is in straight is pure luck! Starting a drill turning after entering the hole is a surefire way of snagging the drill, causing the hole to get out of round, oversized and crooked. 40+ years of aviation mechanics and machining experience here. NEVER start a drill in the hole! Get the drill turning at the proper speed for the diameter you are drilling and slowly let the drill center itself on the work. Keep it spinning at one constant speed at all times. Pecking (short drilling, clearing and reentering the hole as required to clear the chips). Now when using a reamer.(run at 1/2 speed of the drill) AGAIN get it turning BEFORE entering, ONE steady pass in and out if possible, pecking can be done if necessary but, keep the rotation of the drill motor turning at all times! A drill guide is seldom if ever required to follow an existing hole. Unless that hole is mislocated then, a drill guide or block is mandatory. One more professional hint Use a tap handle with a tap. NOT a ratchet! Good way to break a tap in the hole by side loading it! I must gotta tell you, my skin was crawling watching this! Feel free to delete my comment if you prefer. Honestly, just trying to help you out. Friends have tried selling me on these time sets, I'm old school and am very comfortable with using tried and true heli coils. I watched this video to see what all the hoopla is about. I will stick with good old school heli coils. Good enough for Navy and Marine aviation, good enough for my Harleys. Never stop learning! I must admit, your finished insert looks nicely done!

Its not a rotarytop. Its a rachet top!

Cool bike dude

Man, that's awesome! Great job bro! 🤘

I found your channel a few months ago, wasnt sure if i was going to stay a subscriber. Im pleased i did. Im older, so i like certain things. Im impressed, and enjoy the videos you put out. I look forward to the new ones you put out. Good on you for getting your dads bike done. I hope things work out well for you dad. Again, glad i found your channel.

Very cool video! Keep them coming buddy.

Your pop is a proud one! 😊 let it ride

Great job! Loved following this frame repair to the July 4th start. First thumb of the starter and off it went. Great feeling. Prayers to Dad. Be well.

It's definitely an amazing feeling for a motorcycle to run knowing it is now 100% safe and ready to be enjoyed. Sorry to hear about your dad! Be with him as much as humanly possible...

I’ve seen many videos on the lifts and yours is the only one that’s complains about them so much.

What needs to be invented is a tool so that the initial drill and tap goes in straight. I have used a drill guide in the past but that’s the worst part of the job.

Very informative 👌
