The right tools make work easier. Love the quick responses to camera man Mike questions or suggestions 😁. Always great to have a good friend around. ✌🏻
Another great video! So relaxing and real life. All of us have turned around only to discover that a tool or part is not where we thought. That's real life.
Cool seeing you. You know back in the day 1940 Ford radius arms on the rearend you could cut those to length and make a longer springer front end. But you probably know that. Love seeing the ol knucklehead coming together.
Thank You. But, they used the front wishbone. The rear is too large and the front is a fit. You had to cut them apart, then to size. The one to use was Model A.
Another great video. I always found it good to explain to customers why things wear as they do and why I did what I did for repairs. That’s why I feel your videos are so good, you explain what you are doing and why. Some customers would think I should replace the bushing and not necessary to replace pin as they thought the extremely hard pin wouldn’t wear. As explained to me by my old friend when I was young. The impurities In the oil get embedded in the softer material of the bushing in turn making the bushing wear the hardened pin. I would often find the pin worn as much as the bushing. The more the people understand their old motorcycle the more they will enjoy it was my theory.
Glad to see you, thanks for the video!The tool always disappears in an unknown direction, I have removed the locking rings with a screwdriver many times, my fingers are scarred from this.But I never learned how to store the tool in the right place))) Take care of yourself, Mike.
'And the rain rained like rain over Sherwood' . . . Good morning gentlemen, I do hope you're both well.

A strange term 'gudgeon-pin'; mechanically, your 'wrist-pin' has far more logic.

A strange World, innit! : )
Wow! I adjusted to the word "gudgeon" many years ago while building my 59 100/6 Austin Healey. Glad to hear such a colorful description of its meaning.
Thank, I thought something has hapend whith you or your eyes. it was a long time to wait for this video. But god to see you again. Sorry for my spelling.
Sure. I look for things I need and things that just plain please me. I usually see Craig Taylor (Pres. of L.A. Chapter). I attend just about anything with American motorcycles and some foreign.
Yes they did. A nice fitting fresh pair of wrist pin bushings is great too. Ideally, everything is new at once, but sometimes, you're there and worn parts should be replaced. I don't like to ream pistons.
I took sportster bottom end to our local harley dealer to let them ream the RIST pin bushing and they didn’t use the support jig for the con rod and bent the bearing cage the will not fix it and aware it’s ok I know better to I found another crank for it dark horse wants $1300 to fix it every old harley mechanic says I’m correct

Glad you enjoyed it!
You live in a biker’s paradise always seems to be something bikerish going on great videos
Thank You. I stuck to my choices. I still love motorcycles.

I certainly agree. I always wanted my customers to have bragging rights and know what they were talking about.
Great video! Good tool to have.
Yes indeed! thank You.
Working with the proper tools is such a treat..
Yes, it is. It's a fulfilment of the dream.
I heard it crack loose!! 😉👍. Thanks for the video !
Thanks for watching!

Yes, it's some sort of plague. Thank You.
Thanks Mike for sharing how to do this.
Thanx for watching.
Mike, cut a small slit in the rag that goes over the rod and pull it down and over it helps keep the junk out of the case nice work though !!
Thank you for reminding me.
Mike this is why I use lot's of post it notes I just put them in the service manual as a reminder getting old sucks !!@@pacificmike9501
Would have loved to have seen how you cut the oil hole in the bronze bushing.
It was partially open. I just dremmeled it the rest of the way.
Really my buddy's everyday
Just one necessary job.
Good evening Mike and Mike . How are you ? Thank you for this video.
We're good. Hope all is well with you.
@@pacificmike9501 All good here in Tofino but lots of rain !

Thank You.
I totally understand life gets into content creation. Peace ✌️
It's life. We all have our own brand of it.
Abraço aí Mike
And, I thank you.

Thank you! You too!
Mighty fine work. What train name that runs by your shop ?
I'm at my home and the train is over a mile away.
do you look for anything in particular when attending these swap meets ?? do you attend any of the AMCA meets ?
Sure. I look for things I need and things that just plain please me. I usually see Craig Taylor (Pres. of L.A. Chapter). I attend just about anything with American motorcycles and some foreign.
What's up with your seat ? I've had bicycles with similar seats and they were comfortable. Well for a bicycle anyway..
This bike was built in the sixties with that Bates seat.
Would it help if you froze the bushing?
Not really. As soon as the materials touch each other, they shortly become the same temperature. It is a "press fit."
👍😎👍
Thank You.
DyneTech, Bolt Citter’s ?
I don't get it.
That bushing was tight . It would have been very hard to remove without that tool , maybe impossible .
Maybe.
Sounds like your on the other side of the tracks.
Believe me, I've lived on both sides of the tracks. I live on the best side of the tracks.
I heard it break loose.
Good.
Great video. But camera man Mike is starting to talk to much. 😂
Now, now.
I'll go rhythm
Okay.
48 horsepower of per arm stretching fun.
A good running Knuckle (just minor warm additions) will lengthen your arms. They wind up relatively quick and make great torque.
@@pacificmike9501 friend of mine has an unrestored 39, I think it is a blast to ride, slowly.
That 39 is probably loads of fun. That 61 with 18" wheels should be nimble and quick.
Harley did make oversized piston pins. Just sayin. Later my friend
Yes they did. A nice fitting fresh pair of wrist pin bushings is great too. Ideally, everything is new at once, but sometimes, you're there and worn parts should be replaced. I don't like to ream pistons.

Sad. I appreciate the fixture. I can't fine mine. But, I have the one necessary for reaming, which is when you put the strain on it.
