Hello everyone my name is Jason and I’m a motorcycle enthusiast and automobile lover. From pit bikes to Harley’s I love the freedom that two wheels brings. Watch as I show some of my tips and tricks to make your life easier.
Fixing this crappy hood and restoring a bug deflector!
Hey guys! Jason is switching it up in todays videos and working on his (new to him) truck. The bug deflector and hood need serious attention! The bug deflector is an easy fix with basic sanding and polishing. The hood has seen better days and after many years the sun has taken its toll of the vinyl wrap. The Vinyl has cracked all over and rusting in some areas. Using the contour SCT from @eastwood gets the hood stripped to bare metal. A 5" DA sander with 80 Grit scuffs up the bare metal for applying epoxy primer that was left over from the chopper project. Elbow grease goes along way in getting this truck to look better!

Hey everyone Jason has a debate for the viewers today. That of course is what is a chopper? Is there a true clear cut definition of a chopper or is it shades of grey? Let me know in the comment section what your opinion is on this matter. #abyssgarage #chopper #choppermotorcycle #bobber #custom #shovelhead #shovelheadchopper #panhead #harleydavidson #harley #motorcycle

FABRICATION WORK FINALLY DONE ON THE SHOVELHEAD CHOPPER???
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....
@@bottomrung5777 yes you are correct but this was also in a mock up stage. If you happen to catch a video I did on my buell you can see my tq wrench being used. I tend to get fussy when it comes to tq specs if I can help it. And you don’t need a bracket, the original headlamp bolted to the headlamp visor that mounted to the top triple mount which has specific mounts for that. Hope this helps
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.

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! 😊😅😮😢😂
@@whiteashpiperwhiteashpiper5447 I can’t disagree with that!
A chopper is a chopped up bike. End of story. Lol
Then a bobber and a street fighter is a chopper?
@@theabyssgarage a street fighter is not. A bobber could be. It depends on the level of alteration
@theabyssgarage in my opinion. You know how that goes though.... Everyone has one! I loved watching the bike build you did bud! Rock and roll!!
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.
@@Rif_Leman then a pre 58 panhead bike stripped down would be considered a bobber by default ?
What about paughco frame?
@@theabyssgarage Has the frame been cut and significantly modified?
Bobber my personal favorite, is a sub category of chopper. Some things have usually been chopped. Chopper, in my opinion is referring to the rake, fork length. Stock fork length or under , again my preference, is a bobber. The bobbers from the 50s and 60s are just perfect to me. It's a long discussion, with many opinions. Good topic.
@@laurentruesdale4088 The term Bobber predates the term Chopper. Choppers, by definition, were being created almost from the beginning of mass motorcycle production, but the term is post WWII, as is Bobber. Bobber is the term used to describe surplus motorcycles after WWII that had all of the non essential equipment removed to make them go faster. Chopper is the term used in reference to motorcycles that had their frames cut to make performance modifications. Later, the term was applied to motorcycles that had been cut to make styling modifications. The two terms have morphed over time to refer to a style rather than to performance mods. But both were originally references to performance mods.
Very cool bike! 🔥🔥🔥
@@roadkingrider6532 thanks!
@@theabyssgarage no problem just subscribed. Hope to get an old bike someday. Have a good rest of your week. 🤙🏻
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.
@@SaddleTrampTV yes it does!
Awesome content,please keep them coming 🤙
Thanks!
was wondering what you thought of that engraving tool.
Well it works…It has a super fine point which is good for outlining. (Kinda like outlining on a tattoo) but I ended up using a punch to make it more defined. I need to research what pros use for engraving and different tips..
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!

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 👍
Do you have a link for the video?
@theabyssgarage I don't know how to link, check out Massey's M.C. Service, it's in the video. Thanks bro 🤘
why not just make 10 hotter?
But this one goes to 11…
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
A grinder can give great results. I’m fortunate to have the lathe.
Thanks for this video, does it FLH frame ? What is the different FLH and FX frame ?
I’m not 100% sure on differences. I would imagine floor board mounts might be one of them.
@@theabyssgarage I would have one, how much FX or FLH frame ?
@@yuliusbayu are you asking how much a frame is worth?
@@theabyssgarage yes sir, do you have any other one for sale?
@@yuliusbayu no, I’d recommend a swap meet, eBay and or Facebook marketplace to find a frame.

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!
Sorry for the delayed response, I would of preferred to drill at a faster speed then I was but I don’t tend to have luck when it comes to that. Hence with I was using the clutch on the drill. From the sounds of it I take you have an A&P license? If so that’s pretty bad ass!
Its not a rotarytop. Its a rachet top!
Cool bike dude
Man, that's awesome! Great job bro! 🤘

@@harleydave2316 it is a great feeling and thank you. And thank you, We talk basically every day
Love is the drug. Hand shake to you bro.😊
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.
Maybe next time I’ll try and use a countersink bit and chamfer the hole before drilling out the bad threads. That might be the best thing besides inventing a drill guide.
Very informative 👌
