- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- In this video, I head over to Mountain Cycleworks in Asheville, North Carolina, where I install a new Hyperpro remote reservoir shock and fork springs on my 2019 Honda NC750X. Also making an appearance is the motorcycle legend, Scooter Tramp Scotty, as he works to get his new bike outfitted for the road. Later, we ride around the gorgeous mountains of Western North Carolina, trying some delicious barbeque along the way.

Always check your gear pack it tight. Moto giant just had a bad wreck cut his foot off because sleeping bag came loose got into back wheel. Safe travels
Yes I heard. Absolutely
Scotty is like a new proud Poppa with the new Bike. Good for him. It's the little things in life that make us happy. I'm sure the new shocks were a game changer on your Bike. Maybe I'll catch you guys on the road 95 n. bound Saturday to 26 then 77.
Absolutely 💯
Thanks Joe I enjoyed your visit
Nice to meet you finally! Wish we'd had time to stick around longer. You got a great shop brother
i feel your satisfaction of a "like new" ride!
Lived out in Clyde/Waynesville when I got out the Army and went to Haywood community college, so I recognize a lot of this area! Good times!
Commented too soon. lol. Was in Lake Lure bout 4-5 years ago. Rode 74 to Asheville and back. Just to visit some friends while we were there. Love that ride!
Cool!
Can't wait to see Scotty traveling on that thing and see how dependable it is
We shall see. I got my doubts about that early efi system. I'll bet he swtches it over to carb before too long
Haha your BBQ review side gig is an entertaining addition to your vlog
Glad you like that! ✌️
Joe, you get through Davenport Iowa which right along the Mississippi River in the i80, 74 corridor make sure that you are able to stop by a restaurant called Mission BBQ.. you will love it.. nothing is frozen and everything is cooked up and smoked the day before.. its a new restaurant that does some really cool things for veteran. They're able to travel to events They're hired for in a old duece and a half with a custom smoker built in the bed of it
Cool!
Hay Joe. Back like 20 years ago, I had a 83 GL1100 that would not sit on the side stand the forks and rear shock were so beat. So I put Progressive springs in the forks and a set of shocks in the back, and man, what a difference. Fixed the brakes and put on new tires. It looked like shit but went down the road great.
Ride safe brother and watch ⌚️ your 6.....
Will do bro 😎 thanks!
After I had written the comment, I realised that many modern bikes have one fork for preload and the other for rebound damping, So you have fitted the springs correctly as the instructions stated. I run 70's Japanese bikes. They are not like that, I am getting old, and my memory isn't as sharp as it used to be
And intercom wiring ..did mine too
Great to see you got that bike ready to go. Also to see Scotty get a beer bike. He didn’t like the EFI talk. Lol
Yeah I don’t think he liked that lmao
Scotty and Joe.... together again...the legend and his protege... living out their lives that most of us dream about most every day... great video... cant wait to see Scotty out on the new bike. As for his old one... tell Scotty it belongs in a museum. Tell Scotty to contact Matt at Wheels Through Time... thats where The Old Mule belongs... its a piece of motorcycle history.
Thanks man! ✌️
That’s going to feel like a new bike. Especially in the corners. Hope the new suspension gives you many trouble free miles.
Absolutely! Totally transformed the handling
Joe, hopefully your ankle heals soon. Nice how to video.
Thanks man!
The efi on Scottys bike isn't bad, it's problem was if you added performance parts it's wasn't tunable. If I were Scotty I would replace the 2 fuel lines sooner rather than later, that's what blew out on mine going to Sturgis last year (400 dollar tow and 400 dollar repair). The new gas eats that old rubber up. Those fuel lines are pressurized with check valves in them, best to fix before the leak.
Good info 👍 wonder if he’ll read this…
Gates green barrier fuel line....everything else fails
Awesome tech video on the replacement of the shock.
Appreciate it, Gary. 😎
right spring installed upside down.
That’s how they say to do it
Teamwork makes the dream work. Great phrase Joe!
Wish I could take credit! 😅
Hey Boss, when you say "Black Mountain" add "whoa" & "bam-a-lam"; so it'll be, "Whoa, Black Mountain bam-a-lam"
💯🙌
Man I don't feel bad as the amount of tools I carry now. We use those remote resovor type shocks on our race cars due to the heats like you were talking about. Glad everything is riding better and man Im going to have to try that BBQ place as that looked good.
I've been really impressed with it thus far
Very cool EPM Performance....heading to their site now....Nice bike Scotty.
Cool, they're priced a lot better than some of their competitors
Great video glad you got your shocks taken care of. Next time your around the Johnson City area feel free to give me shout. I'm in the piney flats area.
Thanks! Will do!
The graceful hills of western North Carolina coerced me to put a '99 sportster under my arse. I thought I was done riding motorcycles.
Haha cool!
Great video thank you Joe .
Very welcome
Really great episode!
Thank you!! 😊
nice music...great video..ever listen to oliver Anthony? i used to render down pork fat when i was a kid..good stuff ...great riding.. thank you
Anytime!
Great video, try "Open Pit " BBQ sauce one day if you haven't by now..the classic in a chef's kitchen
I'll check it out!
New suspenders always feel great like new tires x10…..good job getting it all together!
Absolutely! ✌️
Great video! Glad you got the shocks done and it’s always great to meet up with friends! I was wondering if he was going to get that bike packed up and get going on it.
Thanks man! ✌️ cheers
Man I am aching to see see you'all at Jody's place...where we spent so many hours...I remember the day you changed the stater on your green machine, i bought it on amazon , and it's was a POS made in china...cheap for sure. anyway, I'll be back soon, as soon as I am finish ing some works in Europe..money talk...miles will come . I'm happy you've got new springs, good for your ass! How did the girl chase went for you?
love you young brother!
Wasn't the same without you brother. Hope to see you soon, and thanks! 🙏😊
It’s great to have a friend with a shop for you guys to be able to work on your bikes
It really is!
Ahhhhhh shit!!! Jimmy the mouth blessed you with the Smokin Buffalo!! Enjoy Joe!
Absolutely! 💯
Scotty is right. Unmolested Harleys are the best as stock is most always dependable.
I will take dependable over somewhat more power every time. Broke down along the road trying to troubleshoot a bike modified by someone else sucks.
Your spine thanks you Joe for replacing the rear shock. In a month you probably be a half inch taller again 😁
Definitely! ✌️
The right-hand spring seems to have been fitted upside down. When you removed the left spring, the coils at the bottom were tighter wound than the top spring coils. Unless that is how the right spring needs to be fitted, that is just an observation.
Yes, definitely put it in opposite of the left side.
Yep, I noticed that too.
That’s how the instructions have it going in
He might of went back and changed it who knows. It may not make a huge difference
Ahhh good. See I knew you were smarter than us lol.
That's why I wrote observation, not a criticism at all. Love the channel.
All good brother, I didnt take it take way 👍 I woulda probably said sumthin too lmao.
Good one Joe. Love seeing the mechanical work and interaction between you and Scotty.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😎
Red threadlocker is fine where you can get to it and heat it up to break it loose.
This is from Permatex:
Permatex High Strength Removable Orange Threadlocker is a hybrid formula that combines the strength of Red threadlocker with the removability of Blue Threadlocker. Orange Threadlocker is ideal for modern day engine bays with a great deal of lightweight components and high vibration applications. Unlike traditional Red Threadlocker, Orange Threadlocker can be removed with hand tools when extra force is applied.
Good info 👍 I've heard about it, but never used it.
OMG! Thank you Joe!!
You are so welcome ✌️
Great video Joe. It's nice to have that connection with a lot of bike shops to help with your repairs to your bike.
Absolutely!
Great video. Love the riding, wrenching, eating. Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really informative video cool mountain roads lots of work on those shocks enjoy the better ride and the female company you go Joe thanks for posting
Anytime man 👍
The ride was awesome!! Thank you so much..... Peace out..........
You are so welcome!
Hey Joe, it was great cathcing up with you last and glad you got the suspension sorted out - that always makes a huge difference! That BBQ sauce looks really good and I definitely want to see about ordering some to try it! Another awesome video brother, as always! Ride safe and thanks as always for sharing!
Likewise bro! ✌️😎
Joe ,Rogue here, you're going to really like that shock. I put the same on mine 4 years ago.
It is very easy to set up, plus free rebuild when you need it.
See you at Sturgis. PS, stay away from the women ! They just take your $$$$ .
Haha! Right on 👍
keep wearing out that scooter
Haha! Will do
Love the bluegrass content too. Gotta get down that way.
✌️
You guys are awesome! Live free !
Thanks bro! ✌️
Heading off into the sunset gonna get some poon-tang...
🤣
About the springs. My CTX1300 has two different fork shocks. I'm not sure, but it seems one side is for dampening and the other for the rebound. One does call for slightly more oil than the other too.
Mmm, interesting
Hi Joe, i watch all your videos, this video is the cherry on the cake, by far the best. Please try keep going with the bluegrass/country music 🙏. Im from South Africa and enjoy your videos
Cheers mate! Glad you've enjoyed them ✌️
It's easy to convert to carb ..no parts made today for Morty maledi system ..not spelled rite ..kant up grade it .. believe me ....
Awesome Joe!
Rock on!
How did the Johnson city trip go😂 don’t leave us hanging on the details Joe.
Now you’ll be ready for Sturgis!
Absolutely!
Cool.
Thanks 😊
There for a second, I thought you were on a carnivore diet, but I guess you’re on a keto diet, glad you got your chocks changed out yeah that makes for a brand new bike for sure sometimes that some of the best money you can ever spend as shocks for a bike , travel, well, Godspeed
Yeah, it's pretty much carnivore, although I do eat some vegetables and a lot of fat. I just feel a lot better when I do it. Yeah shocks are the one thing that make the most difference.
@@dirtymotorcyclevagabond I just started the carnivore diet about a week ago , going good so far it’s a little expensive hey but meet good, travel well, Godspeed
Joe, I’m headed down, on my bike from upstate ny tomorrow morning. I’m meeting my father in Tazewell to ride the back of the dragon.. any spots you’d recommend camping tomorrow night when I get into VA area??
Thanks!
Very cool! I'm not sure right off hand. SW Virginia can be a bit tricky...
I've got to do the rear on my 2013 NC700X, 50,000+ miles and I'm just noticing that it's hitting the potholes harder.
Tried that keto thing and didn't like it. Went full carnivore four years ago.
I'll have to check out that shock mfg.
🤘😎🤘
sc0tty,s new bike iz sssWeeeeet!!!
You should have pulled out some of your hot sauces and dipped those pork rinds in some.
Funny you say that- its exactly what I did! Too hungry I guess to record that part lol
Is Jody closing his business or simply moving to a different location in Asheville
Just moving
That honda isn't designed to carry the kind of weight you put on it. Probably going to keep blowing shocks.
Time will tell
Anyone who the year and model of that bike around the 7:20 mark of the video? Thanks
Just imagine what kind of fit Scotty would throw if he had a bike with electronic suspension and navigation. 😡
Hahaha
🤣
👍🏻👊🏻✌🏻
✌️😎
I really do enjoy your videos ever since you started with Scotty trying to get out there myself, but I don’t believe I’ll be a UA-camr once again enjoyed it.
You'd better watch out for those Johnson City women, they'll clean your plow for you!
🤣
In the old country, we pronounce it, woostersheeer sauce , i know that is not how you spell it. And thank you for pointing out , all the wannabees that think they have to ride the tail of the dragon, to officially be a motorcycle enthusiast.
Change fuel lines....really
Dude what's that thing your wearin round yer neck
That would be either the camera or the headphones. Camera is an Insta360 Go 3
Waaaaaaaaazzzzzzuuuuuuuuuuppp
Haha! Whaaazzaaappp Miiiike
Going to see a girl, what on earth would you be doing with a girl... maybe the next video will give us a clue.
😅
Hands down scooter 🛵 and Joe that's joe with a capital J are the best when it comes hiway adventures.
I really appreciate it! ✌️
