Hanging out in the shop doing some finishing touches on the Dyna

- Hello again all my UA-cam people!! Thank you for being on my channel again.
Nothing too exciting in this video, just me rambling on while I do a few small finishing touches on the Dyna. Still waiting on a couple crucial parts that are needed to get it ready for its inspection, but other than a couple brake lines and a front fender, it is basically all together. So you guys can have a little bit of a sneak peek at what it’s looking like but I’m not showing it off just yet because I’m gonna let that wait until I take it out for its first ride and then you all can see the crash bike and how it’s gonna look for the time being!
I’m really looking forward to just having the safety inspection done so that I can do what I want with the bike because right now it’s not really about what I want it’s more about what it needs to pass this inspection and once that is done it’s free game from there!
So I hope you all enjoy this little hang out shop session with me, and like always I will catch you all on the flipside! ✌️ ❤️

Sorry, but I just don't have the time to engage in personal conversations.
Thank you for your understanding.
If you DON'T want your bike highlighted in a future video showing viewers bikes then make sure to mention it in your email. Other than that, expect to see your bike in one of my videos! paypal.me/redr...
Red you never look crappy, lol. I'd wake up to you any morning.
My friend's neck was in the same condition as yours. He went to prolotherapy and was back to his normal routine. He was the one who introduced me to prolotherapy for my back. I went to many more appointments. In the end my back was healed after years of neglect.. I completed all the sessions without going under the knife! Look into it Red Rider..
You can have the discs replaced with an artificial one. I have the same problem and had the surgery. It has changed my life. Please look into it.
Fusion is noooo good. Don’t do it!
Thank you guys!! I will have to start looking into some proper treatment.
I’m starting a 1970 iron head rigid project. I’ve built a couple triumphs in the past but this is going to be the most difficult I think.
I feel your pain with the disk issues. I have it too. As for your dad, it's great that you have this time together. It's a thing that gets more precious with time, until one day, it becomes priceless.
That Dad is a gem. Kudos to him.
Couldn’t be doing it without him!
It's refreshing to see a woman work on bikes. Even more so ride them. You have know idea how many people love you and what a difference you make in peoples lives.
Your faith will heal you. If you believe with your heart and see with your mind and not your eyes his daughter will not grow old in pain for she is healed in his love. Just as your love for what you share is healing your bothers and sisters.
Garrett, they you so much for such kind and encouraging words ☺️ I’m happy that I can be a bit of a light in anyone’s life, if possible.
@@RedRiderCanadaBC That you are!
May you have many days on the open road on that awesome bike of yours.
Creating a custom motorcycle is mostly engineering pieces like you're doing, I think it's awesome you do most all the work yourself. The spacers look great and I'm sure you're learning a lot as you go. Can't wait to see the finished project.
Thanks! It’s getting close!
I feel your pain where it comes to your neck , Red ... Jan 6 I had C3-C6 fused with plates & screws put in .
I will definitely add you to my prayer list 🙏
Thank you 🙏
With you sitting on that Dyna's seat it will be the prettiest bike on the road!
It’s pretty handsome!
Best video yet Lil Red! Take it from a ole dude who's dropped many a nut and watched it roll to some hellish place....a "magnet on a stick" is definitely my favorite tool!!!
Yep haha. Why can’t things we drop just land in front of us instead of rolling off into some deep dark corner??
Some notes as I watch this full length movie.
Blue locktite leak: you might try putting a bit of paper towel over the tip and then put on the cap on and shake it.
Nice clean detail work on the wiring and speedometer cable routing.
Hardtails do look good but with your neck and my lower back, they are not for us.
Wish I still had your interest and dedication in the bikes, but after 50 years of riding mostly alone I find that I have lost a lot of it. Watching and listening to you brings back memories of when that was mostly what kept me going.
Looking forward to the great unveiling.
Thanks Warren. And yea, even after spending only a few hours on my bike with suspension I will have a headache the next day, a hard tale would ruin me lol.
I enjoy watching your videos it's good that you have somebody to teach you how to work on your bike that's real cool
Thank you 🙂
Thank you for another great video!
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for letting us hang out with you. I always have hated locktite bottles they are just a mess waiting to happen. Talking about your friend and his accidents there is definitely a mind set to weather you get back on a bike or not I was following my friend with his sister on the back of his bike when they hit the biggest trophy buck I'd ever seen and went down Lucky they had good gear even going down at 50mph they only had a few scratches It shook us up pretty good but we all still ride and I'm married to her now she's a tough little redhead. Will be praying for healing for your neck for sure!
Thank God I haven’t been in an accident. I did have a really close call with a big buck a few months back and thankfully I missed it by just a few feet.
Thanks for the prayers Nick 🙏
Awesome!
The Dazzling Dyna!
marcus
As your dyna is lowered, as is mine, I'd recommend an inch shorter jiffy stand... Keeps from having to lean over to lower the stand...
I’m going to change the kickstand altogether!
I had an injury in the Navy that caused degenerative disc disease in two levels of my spine, went 3 years before getting multi level fusion. Was on pain pills from the VA for 16 years. The nerve damage from waiting too long will be forever. It’s not as bad now as it was before the fusion. Yoga, taiji and acupuncture is how I got off the pills and continue for maintenance.
I wish you the Best!
Thank you for your service 🙏
And thank you for the encouragement! I really don’t want to get surgery… I think therapy is probably my best bet to begin with.
@@RedRiderCanadaBCThank You 🙏
Yeah, I can relate to being obsessed with buying motorcycles, my family kind of had an intervention when I had 8 at one time, and was looking for the 9th.
There is power in prayer so I'm on it Angel. I'll be praying for relief from your neck pain. There's power in words in general so we shouldn't say things like we're starting to look old or we sound like an idiot (we all do it but should try not to lol). Anyway I did thoroughly enjoy this video and trust me when I say you're such a natural beauty and a pleasure to listen to. Have a great day Angel 😇 ❤️🙏🙌
Thank you very much! Lol I don’t see how come people enjoy watching me, but I guess it works so that’s good! Thank you for your prayers as well.
Am looking forward to my custom shovelhead Softail project .
love the vid..watched the whole thing..lol you crack me up..
Prettier than an oxide daisy!❤. A draw to lndusto box ends.Lol.
You’re in my Prayers Red!
You’re Awesome!
I wrote a half a book just talking with you as you were talking, but I don’t know where it went
Thank you, I really appreciate the prayers! I know I can use them… like anyone can I suppose. And yea, sometimes the comments end up going places we didn’t plan them to on here haha.
@@RedRiderCanadaBC I guess they only give us a few words to say, where I had wrote a whole conversation with you while you were working on lock tighting the bolts on your fender struts!
Good ol chocolate milk can't go wrong. That brand is a good one.
The Dyna is coming along nicely. Make time for the physical therapy. Learn to do the exercises at home and keep at it. The best defense is to strengthen the muscles around the vertebrae. I know, easier said than done. It’s time consuming and boring. I have degenerative disc, lower back. Blew something out in the beginning of July and haven’t had my bikes out since. Going to PT 2-3 times a week while I wait for the insurance company to approve my MRI so I can see what’s messed up. I try to keep fit but I get lazy and make excuses. Now I’m pissed at myself because fall is here and it’s the best time to ride.
Keep up the good work and take care of yourself!
Hopefully you can get yourself checked out a little closer. Yea the neck pain is more than an inconvenience some days, that’s for sure…
great to watch you make things and fix's your bikes big hello from northern ireland.peace out 👍☮️
Hello! ✌️
I store the H D in my living room , little to no corrosion
One of my favorite tools is a long handle ratchet, for leverage, breaking those stubborn nuts loose.😊
I can relate you your Dyna woes. Mine is a Dyna Switchback. I love it but Switchbacks seem to be the oddkins of Harley... Not much aftermarket stuff compared to other models. If I want something for the front I usually look for a Road King accessory and mod it to fit by trimming or drilling new holes. For the back usually most Dyna parts will work. I like the Dyna platform though. They're fun in the twisties. Yours will be great when you're in the wind with it, and that really is the objective 👍. Sorry about your neck. Yeah, rigids are cool but if I had one I'd fold in half and forever be a pretzel for life 😳. I'll keep my shocks, thanks. Oh, and I'll absolutely pray for you. You're right, God's got you 🥰 but I believe prayer helps. Take care Angel, hope the neck feels better soon.
Yea the dyna is quite a bit different than the shovel head that’s for sure. Thanks a lot for the prayers! 😁
Just watching your video from 6 months ago. It reminded me that sorting out the problems of wrenching on Harleys is really fun but it can be somewhat challenging at times. I started out believing that all parts would fit right out of the box, but that's not reality. I thought it only happened to me.:)LOL
Lol nope, very seldom does anything just fit perfectly 😆
I love watching you and this vlog ,it’s always a good day for me to see a beautiful Christian red headed lady do her thing with the light of God shining thruogh her ( you) praise Jesus Christ grace grace grace amen 🙏 thanks BigAl California.thank you angel.
Thanks Al!
Front axle nut 60-65 ft lbs for a 2007 softail, should be the same for all aluminum hubs I would think
Hi Red rider, great vids hello from north wales 🏴🏴🏴
Hello Tony, glad to have ya here!
Cool front tire and rim.hope w/ brake
Good one red , love my shop stool with wheels. Enjoy your youth because getting old sucks! Ride free!
Acupuncture worked well for Me, that was a long time ago and it's holding up well!
Don't forget the cotterpins.
wow sis you were torquing the crap out of some of them fender screws... with locktite the specs are fine..lol luv ya
I'm only 6 minutes into but just feel the need to say that I know it can be frustrating but in the end, you'll know your scooter as intimately as you know yourself.
Whenever things start going sideways, I've found the best thing to do is just walk away for a while, maybe go for a ride if you have another scooter available and clear your head a bit.
In the long run, the time you take away from a project that is getting the best of you can usually lead to much better results after you return and won't give you gray hairs in the process.
I'm gonna quote your saying, "It ain't gonna be pretty, it's just gonna be done". I love that!
Yea you are right about that. Sometimes taking a step back just helps to see an issue from a different perspective and gives way to ideas on how to fix a problem.
Thanks for the encouragement all the time my friend!
Fun, informative and enjoyable. Good content for tips etc. From the UK.
Thank you!
So cool
Hey Angel ive had 2 neck fusion surgeries and still have a ruptured disc above those
The fusion doesn’t really limit your neck movement
Also ive had the calcium spurs removed
Talk to a good surgeon
I had a trampoline accident at about age 13. Residual damage
Never had a surgery I’ve regretted
Have had great neck pain since about 2000
Within the last year it’s improved greatly
Just rode my bike from iowa to my sister’s in ft worth
Im a believer so god bless
Thanks Richard. I’ll have to work my nerve up quite a bit before I agree to any surgery I think lol.
Regarding your neck issues, they now have a gel that they can inject in between the vertebrae to give relief for damaged discs. Maybe you have already checked this out and maybe it wouldnt address your situation, but it might be a possibility for you. Best of luck.
Thank you for that!
The spondylosis of the spinal column degeneration is gradual mine started in my early 30s and my whole skeleton. I’ve had a lot of surgeries, wrists, elbows knees, dealing with the spine now thoracic and cervical Im willing to bet you have the crepitus in your neck as well that sounds like rice crispies when you turn your neck, best thing I found to relieve the pain has been Excedrin, and occasionally cannabis although not very often the latter, keep doing as much as you can while you’re young, since it is degenerative, and will gradually get worse mild to moderate activity, can actually help with the symptoms early on ✌🏻
Thank you Jas. And Yep, you got it man my neck sounds like rice crispies all the time! When I was working at Harley and pushing heavy bikes around all the time my neck park was the least because I had built up all my muscles in my shoulders and upper body.
Another good vid. Your hair color, curls and your skin tone all go together so well and are beautiful. (Too old to flirt lol. Just saying what I see.) Great lighting in the vid helps. Prayers for your health to only improve with time.
Thank you Brian 🙂
I'm watching this in increments as the day goes by will probably be making comments as I do so. Mainly because I'm an old bastard and will forget all the things I wanted to comment on if I wait until the whole thing is over.
Anyone that knows me will attest to the fact that I am not easily impressed ane thing I want to say is how impressed I am the way attention to detail that you exhibit. Things like blowing on the the thread locker to insure it gets into the threads just impresses the hill out of me.
I would have to thank my dad for those meticulous habits I have picked up in the shop. :)
I will pray for you. I had a bad bike wreck in 1977 sence then I've had 2 neck surgery's 4 vertebrae are screwed down and steel plates well I have to use mirrors on bike and time every thing when passing a car cause my neck doesn't turn much but I'm still riding and don't plan on stopping
Thank you very much 🙏
I can relate on the obsession of getting motorcycles. And for some reason they are always projects. Love working on things and making them mine. I probably spend an hour a day or more shopping online for Harleys or other classic bikes. They are probably projects because you can get them so much cheaper lol
Goodmorning Red!
Good morning 😊
Ginger blues God's finest creation imo
Those barrels are so easy to clean up and you didn't do it! WOW!!
I’ll clean it properly when the engine come out of the chassis. Right now getting it to pass inspection is the goal
take the brake lever off dril & tap & install a zerk HAPPY TRAILS
The actual length of the bolt/screw that has holding power is only equal to the diameter of that bolt/screw. I only Loctite that portion of the bolt. 1/4"dia. bolt= 1/4 length of bolt that contacts the mating thread.( You ever notice that the nuts made to mate with bolts/screws are the same thickness as the diameter of the bolt?) Lol Especially with Red Loctite. I also try to keep threadlocker out of the bottom of blind holes, as it's a pain to clean out.
Cool, I’ll keep that in mind for next time!
A good morning to you from Brantford Ontario Angel. I find a single drop of thread locker does the trick, too much starts gumming up the internal threads after awhile. You should find things won't shake loose as much on the rubber mount as they will on a solid mount. They smooth out nicely once you move above idle. Hope you and yours have a good Thanksgiving. ✌️🇨🇦
Thank you Daniel, happy thanksgiving!
I will definitely keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I have been through the wringer with my back over the years. Hopefully you are seeing a neurologist about your neck issues. I learned years ago, they are the doc's to see regarding any issues with your spine. Enjoyed watching and listening to your ramblings as you piddled with your crash bike dyna! Take care of your neck, and we'll see you on the flipside!
Thanks JD! I appreciate the prayers 🙏
Went through my shovelhead when I bought it, replaced bolts for new ones with locknuts and used loctite blue where there were no nuts, haven’t had a bolt loosen in over one thousand miles. 😎
Nice 👍
You tell me what to do like use the grease as I am a dirty guy daily change the t shirt.But well worn greasy jeans and motocycle boots. You sit back look great and when you feel like helping besides telling me what to do we can always get er done LOL
I dated a girl from Kelowna once (still ride too this day). Respect just sitting and listening too her accent.
The Dyna is looking bad ass by the way! Love the flat black
Awesome job you did great. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you!
Acupuncture and massage for the neck not once but regularly and it will settle down , Dyna looks good you will love it
Be careful with your neck I got hurt in the military with the same problems in the upper neck and my lower back I put up with pain for years finally at 52 years old I could not walk and I had real weak hands, I had two upper surgery and I'm still dealing with the lower back I can walk now but limited distance but the everyday pain is severe, but I still ride my harley davidson it will stay in my garage till the end
Don't bee sad ,,,,you just need more motorcycles,,🌞👍💖💖💖💖
😅😅
Angel, buying this motorcycle was not indicative of a "problem." You had previously stated that a different bike was necessary to go on longer rides/tours, and that certainly rings true.
Moreover, this project bike has progressed much more quickly than I had anticipated it would take. Now, about those annoying teaser shots of small portions of the bike . . . .!
Lol I’m glad my teasers worked out as planned haha. And thank you for your kind comment :)
@@RedRiderCanadaBC no worries, eh? The bill is in the mail! HAHAHAHA!!!
I have the motorcycle illness too,09 ultra,93 s&s shovel,79 fxe-f,and 85 xlx hardtail ironhead. Always good videos,Red
Cool collection!
Tip re grounding. It's worth running a direct line for ground off the rectifier to the negative terminal of the battery. It will give the rectifier an easier and a
longer life 😎.
Sweet, thanks!
Red, don't even like the idea of you struggling but, sure wish you had video of the problems of working on an old Harley.
Njoyed hanging out with you in the shop! I could have a good time with you gettin greasy!
Be safe Red!
I liked those buckles you used on your ammo box ! Do you make them where you work?
I ordered those buckles off a website that ships from the U. S. called Buckle Guy!
Viper Shop chairs. The best…but expensive.
Cool....
Ride safe when you get the chance 😃
Thank you for the video Angle.
Having the same issue with my neck... exercises of turning and up fully down fully holds many times a day helps. Glad you like milk, but eat lots of fish will have direct response to the pain relief.
Praying to the living God bless you with his power over pain relief as you have faith so it shall be on to you.
Amen.
Thank you for your prayers!
@@RedRiderCanadaBC You are welcome.
you might regret using Red locktite on your axles next time you change your tires. I hope not. never used it on mine and never had a problem with them coming loose. the cotter pin should be enough. Good luck Angel
Thanks Brian. I ended up taking the axle nut off and cleaning the red Loctite off of it and then talking at properly again and just putting a cotter pin in the castle nut.
You've got that harley looking really nice. Looking forward to hearing it run with you on...
I’m sorry to hear about your health issues , as I can relate …
I also ride a 1994 FXLRC (last year of the hand-built frame) and am still making some changes as well.
I am glad to say some prayers for you to be healed. May GOD bless you .
ANGEL YES HARLEYS ARE ADDICTED IN MY BLOOD. BE PRAYING FOR YOUR NECK. VIDEO IS GREAT. WHAT YOU DO ON YOUR BIKES IS EVEN BETTER MAKING PARTS. 🕸💀☠👀
Owning and working on bikes is never a problem. Thinking about it all the time. Also not a problem to my way of thinking you’re normal, in the best kind of way just be you and everything else will fall in place
Thanks Jas 🙂
What you do for work? ? Fabulous video 😊
RR i love your tool skills
I swear the bolt allen and torx on my 09 dyna are made by 3 or 4 different companies
Your dyna will be loved by you im sure
And you don’t give yourself enough credit and kindness
You’re still awesome
Thank you 🙂
Have a great day at work . Made it all the way to the end . Love all that you do H D .Peace WB
Thank you!!
The front axel nut torque spec. is 50-55 ft. lbs. per the manual for my 2000 model FXDWG...
Now I know what that threaded hole is for at the top of my triple tree, where you screwed on your turn signal... On my 2000 FXDWG the turn signals clamp onto the front shock tube.
Thanks!
Rear fender allenhead bolt, some areas with obstructions especially on vehicles you can squeeze an angle of a dangle/* swivel socket extension on your ratchet. I purchased a battery-operated ratchet from harbor freight several years back & it makes tasks a breeze☕💜
I’ve seen those before.. I think billy lane uses one actually.
I wonder what caused gas ⛽️ I. Oil. I think ya did good on price. Midyna
Electric starting coming up!
Bet ya made sally smile
Wish there was a neck disk replacement for you. Heard about a few back-spine disk procedures, (including fusion), cannot imagine any neck repair… (Too risky it seems). Lost some neck cartilage years back… (Can hear crunching in neck, when stretching the neck). Kind of alarming when thinking about it. Been that way since my teen years, if this is any consolation)… (Lots of years has passed by with the crunching).
My neck is already beginning to fuse itself, according to the doctor.
I've got the degenerative disc thing going on as well. Naproxen helps me a lot.
If it's any consolation, I was told I have it 25 years ago and I'm still able to do the things I want to do for the most part.
I can relate to the neck pain angel...I messed my back up some years back plus had a bad van wreck, that didn't do me any good either, but another fine video, nice job on the riser spacers also, didn't know if you were aware of it or not but they make a polyurethane riser spacer that is more solid than rubber, but less ridged than solid and will take a lot of vibration out of the handlebars...just a tip you don't need to put locktight on a nut and bolt that has a cotter pin in it and the front axle nut should be 50-60 ft.lbs and the axle pinch bolts 20-25 and I always like to put a little blue locktight on the pinch bolt nuts..not necessary on the axle nut if it has a good lock washer on it...use your own discretion about that...hope that helps you...✌🤘
Thank you Junior, that is helpful!
awesome video as i am currently working on my 07 Dyna getting it ready for my long ride next March from Michigan to Tampa Florida 👍
I have a jacked up neck too from an accident many years ago and in my opinion the hardtail looks the best. Thats why I went with the softail so you can't see the shocks. If I can find a good deal on a shovelhead I'm going to try to build a Kickstart shovelhead heritage style springer. Until then I will ride the hell out of my evo heritage and maybe put a kickstarter on it
Ooooohhhhh a honey dew list. I am on it. Wanna help me ? If it passes soon , you may be able to putt it too . Yipppp eeeeeee take your time enjoy it's suppose to be relaxing,absorbing so you leave the other side behind. Peace
I like your bike a little, and i like you werry much. 🙂
😁
You don’t have to apologize about your spacers, back in the day people didn’t criticize you for how you kept your scoot running or put it together, besides LA Choppers makes those kinds spacers to lift your bars up, do what you have to do and get her running 😎
Now I am a bit curious. You refer to the bike as Dyna, Harley makes Dyna Fat Bob, Low Rider, Street Bob, Wide Glide, and Switchback. I sorta think Dyna is a term that replaced the old one of "swing arm". So when you get finished looks like you will have a Dyna Wide Glide. ???????
Yep!!
Blue loctite is more removeable. Red loctite is to be more permanent. Thanks for the vid.
Lord take care of Angels neck so she and we can give you glory for it and she can continue to entertain us with rides, wrenching and stories. In Jesus name!
🙏
U never look crapy Angel!!!!
Hey Red
High five from a brother in Christ.
I'm 56 and deal with degenerative disk disease just as yourself. Yes I do have three fused vertebrae, but I am still kicking. Our Lord Jesus has done miracles for me and your Faith will bring you through the tribulations. No worries! I used an inversion table many years ago, maybe you could try decomposition. Ask your doctor. Anyway I enjoy your adventures. Be safe 🙏💚
Thanks Michael! I hope my neck doesn’t get too bad too quickly 🙏
Yap, yap, yap... 👍
Lol 👍 😎
Thanks red i’m just nosy sorry just where I am from your insurance goes for a year at a time you can cancel it but it costs money like everything does thanks all the same good channel
Gotta love a bike chick that is more about loctite than lipstick! Go girl😊
Winter is coming our way here in Alaska as well, Hope to get couple more rides in before snow falls.
Itchy boots is also on UA-cam and she road to Alaska from Mexico, she should be there now I think. How warm does it here there during the summer?
@@RedRiderCanadaBC Gets into the 70/80s Fahrenheit. Even warmer up by Fairbanks, first freeze will probably be next week, almost all the leaves have fell.
@@joelbush1329 that’s a short summer.
And working on HARLEY-DAVIDSON BIKES???? SEXY!!!! 😍😎💯
