I try to use them on every Evo rebuild. They are a great help with leaks. Thanks for commenting.

It is that. Thanks for commenting.

Yes it is a lot more work than most people think. Addressing every nut and bolt takes time but is very satisfying in the end. Thanks for commenting.

It is slow and sometimes frustrating but I get there in the end. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks they bring back a lot of great memories for me. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks. It would take about a liter. I use Lucas primary fluid in my stuff but you can use 50W I suppose as they used to say you could use it in all applications, motor and tranmission on older bikes. Thanks for the question and commenting.

@itsmytimeletsgo your welcome and thanks for the valuable information you provide us enthusiasts. Sometimes I agree with the nickname troublehead , but when there running sweet it's all worth it which you remind us in your videos. Thanks Ralph.

@@pauljones3590 You are welcome. Glad to help out if I can. Thanks

I hope so. Thanks for commenting.

The pimp I had I think someone tried to fix up the surfaces by sanding the body down but it got uneven on one side. Only thing I could think that would do that. If you are having problems, and everything measures out right, you might check, and replace, the oil seal as when they get worn out they allow oil to transfer from the feed to the return side. Also make sure the slide in the tall tower is free and not sticking in there restricting flow to the bottom end. S&S are generally very good pumps. Good luck. Thanks for commenting.

It is slow as each and every piece has to be looked at and rebuilt but she will get there. Thanks for the kind words. Thanks for commenting.

I looked at that but is sits way up above the back bone on a different angle and just did not look right. Going to lower it so it sits inline with the backbone. Thanks for your opinion. Gus is a great guy. Thanks for commenting.

Decisions decisions ha ha. Not using the mag, thinking about 2 into 1 pipe. Got few things to think about but I will get there. Thanks for commenting.

Glad to hear about the rear mag. I’m guessing that you are just about to get this bike back in shape in time for the thaw. Respect from West Texas

@@gregb3338 Hoping to have her ready for summer some time.

Each to their own Freddie. I have done a lot of restorations and just looking to have some fun this time, so they had to go. Appreciate your opinion though. Thanks for commenting.

Taking my time with her and and when its ever sngle piece, you know how that can go. Some things smooth, other things not. Glad you are enjoying following as we move ahead. lol Thanks for commenting.

@ No sense getting in a rush. Great project and I am excited to see it come along.

You cannot build a new custom bike and register it here if it is a ridged. Yes if you do that you can skirt around the rules. They are trying to clamp down on inspection stations, as I understand it here. But if you modify an already resgistered bike you can run them that way. Although our roads are not friendly to ride ridgeds on here like they are down south. I ran ridgeds for over 30 years here and still run my "Caged' bike in a Ness frame, occasionally. Thanks for commenting.

@itsmytimeletsgo yes I new that about a new build, fuck I hate Canada laws, makes this type of shit harder then it needs to be... Not enough people do it now a days to even fight it, most people are just clueless and don't understand

@@trenthitchcock5109 Nova Scotia is one of the worst when it comes to that. Times they are a changing and sadly not many are interested in taking the time to help make change anymore. Thanks for commenting.

Thank you for the kind words. I try to pass on what I can to be helpful to others out there. Many can do the work but are just a bit timid to try. I am happy to help if I can. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for the thumbs up!

yes not my favorites but they are what they are.I prefer ratchet tops for different reasons. Better sealing abilities and great for suicide shift set ups. Thanks for commenting.

@@itsmytimeletsgo 👍👍🙏🙏

@@davidson2004fatboy right back at ya!!

Thanks and yes adding a bit of Hippie in this one. Thanks for commenting.

It is always exciting when you are getting to the stage when you are going to fire them up. Grit your teeth and press the button lol.Thanks for commenting.

I am going to try and get the motor done soon. I have a few other things on the go as well and being only one old guy sometimes it is hard to keep up. But I will be doing the full engine build on here as she comes together. Thanks for commenting.

I think so. I always liked long bikes. Thanks for commenting.

We cannot build new construction ridgeds here but if you have one already then you can run it as far as I understand. Stupid rule put in by a guy advising the govenment who hated bikers sadly. He is gone now but the rule still applies. Thanks for commenting.

Each to their own, and I also use my paper manuals all the time. But for some it is convenient to be able to access it on their cell phone while working on something as well. Going with the king and queen for sure. Hippie builds them for ridged bikes and would not work in a swing arm set up. Thanks for commenting.

Yes I know you know the feeling. Hard to get things nailed down sometimes. But trying to make you proud going with the king and queen seat lol. Thanks nice to hear some feedback on the intro. Changing it up and keeping it fresh. Thanks Hip!

King and queen all the way 👍🏻 I tried to nail down 25 years ago still figuring it out today 🤣 so many cool parts out there and sometimes you come across old parts you’ve never seen?! Decisions decisions 🤣

@@Billy-703 I agree with the King and Queen Billy. Yes there are many old parts that were discontinued in the past that were very cool. I am trying to use some that I have had stashed away on this project.

Thanks I will try. Got a few other things on the go as well so time management is my biggest problem. But going to keep at her. Thanks for commenting.

Yup I'm letting a little bit if Hippie rub off on me for this build. I hope he approves lol Having fun doing it. Thanks for commenting.

I think it is for the rear wiring to run up through from the taillight etc. You are always wondering lol. Thanks for commenting.

@itsmytimeletsgo That's me. My wife is always told people don't ask him what time it is he'll tell you how the watch works.

That's exactly what it's for, wiring

@@MoeLarrycurly1 I can relate lol

@@shameless6963 👍🏼👋🏼

Glad to have you visit. Thanks for commenting.

Trying to reply to this comment but keeps coming up. Hope this sticks. Yes she is getting some bling and she deserves it after what she's been through. Thanks for commenting.

I agree on both counts. Haven't got much money but I do have a stash of parts and time. Got to get that sissy bar leaning back. Thanks for commenting.

There are a lot of pieces thats for sure. Made one for myself in the earlier years. Never again ha ha. Thanks for commenting.

right back at ya !!

We all seem to accumulate a lot of stuff over the years. Could save ourselves some cash if we made up our minds lol. Thanks for the info and commenting.

Yep. He buys parts then finds out he can't use them, too. Like a new $200 Bell helmet. It fit fine on him in the motorcycle shop. Then when he went to use it while riding, it was trying to push his glasses off.

@@JasonMyers-c6z We always can't resist that "good deal" lol

I change my mind all the time. She is coming along real nice, and I like that seat, but I'm still not sold on that smaller wheel up front, maybe it will grow on me. Peace!

P.S. I see you have hit 5000 Subscribers, congrats .

@@edZILLA64 I'll know what I'll have to do when its on the new rear shocks as to exactly what I might us, up front, to get the look I want. Things change as you go along as you know.

@@edZILLA64 Yes its hard to believe Ed. Many thanks to all who have helped us get there. Trying to catch Slick and Hippie but they keep running away ha ha

Congrats to ALL you guys!!! Best content on UA-cam 🤘🏻

I think you got it !! Thanks for commenting.

Happy New year right back at you. Thanks for commenting.

Glad you are enjoying the channel. Just trying to pass on as much as I can before I go, so it will be there for future generations to help keep the old iron alive. Thanks for commenting.

That is great to hear from someone with long term use of the lever. I plan to be using one on Margaret when she comes back together. Thanks for the info and commenting.

@ you’ll like it I’m sure.. n a vintage look too.. you’ll never buy a starter solenoid again.. 🤙🏽

Thanks for the thumbs up.

I would think they might bind up, possibly interfer with the case where the cylinders go on or rod cutouts, but a have never done it to find out. Maybe someone else will comment on this who knowa or has done it by mistake.Thanks for question and commenting.

@itsmytimeletsgo I'm the one that often wonders what if..🤔😊

I replied this to a couple of other people but here you go. I was taught that way when I went to school. The theory is that vaseline is soluable and will break down with the hot oil. Grease does not and can possibly gather and plug up the small holes in the crank pin. Thus no oil to the rod bearings in the bottom end. Thanks for the question and commenting.

@itsmytimeletsgo Well thanks for commenting and letting me know about that yep it makes sense oil goes through the motor grease does not

Thanks for the thumbs up and commenting .

I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I hope that what I share can help others too. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for noticing that, as I try to always make things very clear and understandable, and mix it up occasionally with other video's. Thanks for commenting.

I can't say I ever seen anyone do that, but when you torque them at high values I do not think a piece of microscopic lint would make much difference. Thanks for the question and commenting.

I do some work for others, but not as much now. Trying to catch up on my own projects these days. Thanks for commenting.

Same to you. Yes some do not get to see what happens behind closed doors and get to understand what it takes to make it all work. Thanks for commenting.

My drive is to pass on some of what I know to help others out there, if I can. I always hope that I can contribute, in my own way, to keeping these vintage machines running many years after I am gone. It is very satifiying. Thanks for commenting.

You are more than welcome. Thanks for commenting.
