Your attention to detail and precision are the best that I have ever seen! Not many machinists are as methodical as you are. You always take your time to make sure it is done correctly! Keep up the great work.
I have to admit I always give your videos a thumbs up before even watching because there always good, learn something new on every one. Keep up the great videos. Waiting patiently for the next GT80 video haha.
Another nice one on the 90 twin Dale 👍 Your eye for detail is amazing. The meticulous setup of the boring and the post process of honing, deburring and finishing, flatness checks are good lessons of precision. Looking forward to the final assembly. Thanks
Well you showed some new things on this one. On set ups. Thanks brother. I’ve got a lead on a 68 Yamaha from someone that stopped me to look at the 70 cb.
Thanks for the in depth explanation of the gear and their setup. Always good to watch craftsmanship. As ever, take care. PS looking forward to seeing another ride out on one of those beautiful old 2-strokes of yours.
Another Great video Dale. I'm sure you have probably shown this in other videos but it would be good to show as the 1st step how to make sure the head on the machine is perfectly square to the table with the Indicol / indicator just in case it would be off a little it could bore on a slight angle. Have a Great day sir.
Hey Mike, yes, I did talk about tramming, not sure if I showed it. My thought is, I would leave that up to the machine shop guys. I don't want to turn my channel into a machine shop channel. My thought has always been to show machining as it applies to classic motorcycles. IE making parts, repairing parts, crankshaft repairs, cylinder boring and you see where I'm going. I just hate to chase off the folks that come here for motorcycle stuff. They are the ones that have made this channel.
Hey Andy, I don't know anything about putting up links. But I can give you the part numbers, matter fact I gave the part number for the head in the video it is DBL-203 made by Criterion, I however would not buy a new one, they are close to a thousand dollars. I bought mine used from an equipment dealer several years ago for around 250.00 if I remember. The boring bar is from Mesa tool it is the 3/4 x 6inch TPGB.
Could you sometime take a cylinder and shoot water into the different ports to show everyone that the ports are designed to direct the incoming charge to different parts of the cylinder and swirl the charge to help scavenging. Just a thought.
Right on Dave, this one is dinky, this is by far the smallest cylinders I have ever bored. I too am looking forward to the startup. Hey, drop me an email sometime, I'll give you my phone number, would like to catch up. userdakota@gmail.com

Your too kind Pete, thank you so much.

I do the same thing.
Thank you, David, the next chapter of the GT80 is unfolding soon.
Same! I just know whatever Dale does will be worth watching.
Another awesome one Dale, thank you for your time making these videos fella and bringing us along for the ride, it's appreciated.
My pleasure
Another nice one on the 90 twin Dale 👍

Your too kind, I am ready to hear it run too.
Your videos are not boring. I find your vids very interesting and informative,
Thank you very much Ed. I appreciate the kind words.
Great video! What a fascinating little twin. Really look forward to hearing it fire up and purring as only a twin can. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks Jim, I'm ready to hear it run also.
Love the 80
All those mini's back then were cool. That is when the OEM's started building tons of these machines.
Thanks Dale. Another great video. And the boring videos are never boring😉 Very interesting to see it done on these small barrels.
Cheers, Peter.
Peter this one is so small, it's just crazy. I enjoy boring cylinders, real cool watching the wear come out.
Thanks Dale, Always great and excellent camera placement . Cant wait to hear her purr .
Hey Murray, thanks man, me too, hope there is no issues and runs like a 90 twin should.
Well you showed some new things on this one. On set ups. Thanks brother. I’ve got a lead on a 68 Yamaha from someone that stopped me to look at the 70 cb.
Thanks Cain, what model 68 Yamaha is it. How is the CB running?
@@montana2strokeracer not sure got to go look at it. The cb is running great. I’ve put about 400 miles on it so far.
Thanks for the in depth explanation of the gear and their setup. Always good to watch craftsmanship.
As ever, take care.
PS looking forward to seeing another ride out on one of those beautiful old 2-strokes of yours.
Thanks much, I will try to get another ride in before the snow flies. Getting pretty cool in the morning now....Yikes!!
@@montana2strokeracer 11C and pouring rain here all day wind from the Arctic. Bikes tucked up in the garage until the floods subside.
Take care
I love these videos . Itchy boots starts up again on Sunday .
Thank you, John, I am an avid Itchy boots watcher, looking forward to her next adventure.
Looked like pretty even wear on that one, and it cleaned up nicely. That little twin should really pop when you're finished with it.
I think so too!
I use my lathe for all cylinders and it works very well.
Yes, the lathe works just fine, I just find the set up easier on the mill. I have done lots of cylinders on the lathe though.
Hi Dale, good video! I see your cars are gone; they are pretty.
Rich
Excellent video Dale, lots of detail. Those little pint pots came out great!
Best wishes, Dean.
Thanks Dean, I was worried about the length of the boring bar. Small cuts are the way to make it work. I'm ready to hear it run.
@@montana2strokeracer it was a great job Dale. I never doubted you my friend. It will be great to hear it.
2 thumbs up 4 me ol buddy, you keep wrench'en and i keep on learning...
Thank you, James. It's a fun ride.
Just stumbled on your channel very interesting I’ve subscribed happy Christmas
Thanks Steve, I sure appreciate the sub and hope to see you back every week to see what I have going on in the shop. Merry Christmas.

@@montana2strokeracer I understand Dale. Have a good one sir.

Thanks Mark, I sure hope it does.
It's going to be a sweet little ride !
I think so too John. looking forward to hearing and seeing it run.
Very Nice job 👏👏👏👏
Thank you brother
A lot of work involved Dale especially when you take the extra care to be precise. Interesting to see.
Hey Darren, thank you so much for the kind words my friend. Its a lot of fun.
Great job brother
its not a boring video, its interesting. LOL
Not to me either Frank, enjoy watching the wear come out. Glad you could join me for the ride.
@@frankdillon6127Agreed. It's the meticulous attention to detail and the extensive explanations.
Top vid again can you put a link up to the big boring head and tool you use please

Hi thanks for that I will keep my eye out for one 👍
Love the shirt. Sent one to Kevin b.
Me too Cain, thank you very much. I am sure Kevin is enjoying his too.

That is a thought for a video, thanks Bud
Here!
5.5 cubic inches! You'd almost need watchmaker tools.
Hey Kenny, it's a monster for sure. Yep, tweezers would be handy.
@@montana2strokeracer The scale of the work seems like the machine work on miniature steam engines. Looking forward to hearing it run.
