Thanks for the great tutorial. I'm more nerdy and new to motorcycles, can someone tell me what this Dyna wobble thing is all about? Does the engine start wobbling when it reaches a certain RPM? And affects the balance or steering? And I like what's going on here. My father was the total opposite for help and advice.✌️
The “death wobble” is a high speed wobble that these dynas are known to get in the corners, and a lot of it is because of swing-arm being mounted to the transmission, whiz is mouthed to the motor, and everything is sitting on two runner motor mounts. It’s just a poor design that actually makes no sense lol. You could probably find somewhere that explains it better than I can in a comment though.
like angel says, the motor, tranny, and rear wheel, via the swing arm, are isolated from the main chassis by the two rubber mounts at the lower frame in front of the motor and behind the transmission. when running, the drive train assembly will rock back and forth a little on the rubber mounts. the drive train is prevented from tipping side to side by a factory installed stabilizer link at the top of the motor between the heads. (this link will adjust the drivetrain camber. angel goes over this in the video at the following link: ua-cam.com/video/tgasrAQKhZE/v-deo.htmlsi=1NUR35WOYEq327Sb ) this works fine under normal conditions but sometimes when cornering, especially more aggressive cornering, the drive train will oscillate slightly from side to side. this in turn will cause the rear wheel to wave a little from side to side. this will be felt by the rider as a side to side pulling at the handlebars. under the right (or wrong!) circumstances, this can lead to high speed wobble. adding the stabilizer links where she did at the rubber mounts will prevent this side to side oscillation while allowing the rubber mounts to function as intended.
Thanks for the good explanations. Very interesting and alot of physics going on here. That's something how this can transfer to the handlebars. Glad to see you corrected this for the safer ride! Going to watch the video you listed, thanks. I googled this last night but only read a couple pages where people had this problem. One guy said he felt this wobble while riding at higher speeds going straight along the highway.
@@o.u.t.olduglytroll3712 Great explanation in the video. I saved all my books from college so I just looked through the physics ones but didn't find any exact explanation for stabilizer links. I guess the closest thing would be the forces on trusses chapter and supports and braces. If there is anything I have in my textbooks that you may find a need to see, I will share it with you.
Well young lady you seem to show more and more skills and abilities every time I watch a video about you building or making something . Transmissions . No problem . Fabrication . No problem . building bikes from a bare frame . No problem . Shovel head or Evo makes no difference . Your Dad I'm sure is very proud of you ...
@@JohnMcClain-s5w I love the sixties Triumphs and owned a 70s Bonneville. I have a Velocette Venom but I will probably have to pull out the gasket paper for my next project. Its a German Zundapp DB200 from 1939. Not the easiest thing to get parts for.
@@JukeboxGothic that's a real classic, I hope you share it with us when you get it completed, or even just on the way. A friend of mine in high school's dad had a flathead Zundapp, 1000 cc flat flathead twin he'd restored, military model with a side car and an MG 30 pedestal mounted. Back in the early 70's.
@@JukeboxGothic i actually learned that trick from an old guy when i was young and needed to make some gaskets for an early 60's triumph. thought it would be a good thing for angel to know. never know when old tricks find new applications.
i installed True Track, Inc. stabilizers on my 2008 H-D Dyna Low Rider . Really makes a huge difference. Bike is like it is riding on rails. The first ride after the installation was like " Why does my bike feel so different". Haha. Nice job and design. I like it. Take care & Ride Safe.
Good morning 🌅 Angel, that was a great territorial, i’m building a stabiliser kit for your Johne crash Dyna , and a great help from the master in metal work Kinko , 😂 , Stay Safe, Ride Free , ❤ regards from France,
😊 I saw where you were mentioning about the painting of tabs/brackets etc... I've been using Tremclad Gloss Black Rust Paint on my frames/tabs/brackets forever, applying with a 1/2" bristle paint brush. Flows on smooooth...and is bulletproof. Takes longer to dry than a spray bomb, but the results are well worth the wait. Hi to you and yours Angel. ✌️
on behalf of canada, you're welcome. we have a lot of experience with wildfires. i hope our aircraft and experienced pilots can make a difference. our prayers are also with you.
It’s awesome to see you working with your Dad on your projects. The knowledge that’s passed on will last a lifetime not to mention how proud it makes your Dad watching you grow in your fabrication skills. Great job!
I LOVE y'all's home-made fixes for known Harley problems. That is a WAY cooler and much cheaper solution to death wobble. My guess is the store bought ones are not nearly as meaty as yours and probably made in China anyway. Props to you and your dad for all these great improvements to your bikes, and for teaching people like me new stuff. When you get a chance to test ride it, be sure to let us know how well it worked out.
Great job! Love the tutorial. I didn’t know that Dynas had this problem. I have been lucky to have worked in an automotive assembly factory in which I retired as a factory technician/ mechanic. I worked there for 30 yrs and made many friends that were millwrights, tool and die makers and electricians. I would pick their brains during coffee breaks. Over the years I have owned/ ridden a 83 Sportster, a 55 Panhead, a 47 Indian Chief Roadmaster, a 90 Softail Custom and a 2001 Ultra. I have also built or rebuilt 6 motorcycles for either myself or other people. Your tutorial has helped me as a refresher so I can help others who have this problem. I am a Christian too and have been riding for 41 yrs, like to help others especially those who are stranded. God has blessed me so that I may bless/help others. Just like to pass on one little tidbit about cutting bolts. If you twist 2 nuts and tighten them together where you want to cut it, it acts as a guide and won’t mess up your threads. You can also grind the new bolt end flush against the nut surface and your threads with start easier. 😊😇💗❤️🔥✝️
Thanks! I clean the ends of the threads up on the belt sander normally and give them the slightest bit of a taper so that they start easer in the thread. Thanks for the support and God bless 😃
Hey Angel that job turn out really nice I love to fabricate parts where I can. Wish I had the talent your dad and yourself have. It was good seeing your dad in the shop with you. I’m telling you if you look up old school Harley dude in the dictionary there would be a picture of your dad. You guys take care and stay safe. Again great job on the stabilizers.
Looks pretty sweet and saved a lot of cash. Something you might find helpful, as an Electrician we used ready rod for pipe hangers. Always threaded a nut on before cutting. If the threads would get a little screwed up backing the nut back off would clean them up. No die on sight, made do. Have fun testing out your bike just remember cold tires don't have as much traction when you are carving up the corners.
Nice work Angel. Thanks for sharing. In the winter when all the projects need to be completed it’s nice to be able to take your time. Our bikes are too new for any of these kind of projects. Watching this makes me want to scoop up an old bike to work on.
Hi Angel! I'm 10 minutes into your video... thoroughly enjoying it. Safety glasses are a good idea to get used to wearing. Also gloves to protect against barking your knuckles when using a hacksaw. Now I'm back to your video. One more thing... you're choice. 👍💯✌️🇨🇦
Kudos on your fabricating skills! It's great to see your dad passing on his knowledge. Yes, the grade 8 bolts are more difficult to cut but in the end a much better choice. Unfortunately they are also more difficult to find in the length needed, especially in fine thread. A more accurate way to measure between holes is with a caliper (vernier, dial, or digital). Measure between the out sides of the holes or the insides and subtract from the outside measurement or add to the inside measurement the hole diameter. This is an old machinist's way. Keep up the great videos!
@@arthurcgans8198 My wife worked at a plumbing shop back in the eighties, she called on day to tell me a truck full of tools was there, I bought a 4 by 8 bandsaw from it, still have it today. Harbor freight has the same saw for about three hundred, worth its weight in steel!
@@arthurcgans8198 I took an old wood bandsaw, retired the wheels, put a worm gearbox on it to make it metal and put ball bearing blade guides on it and a variable speed motor. I think I have less than a hundred bucks in it. Harbor freight has some decent bandsaws available.
@@o.u.t.olduglytroll3712 I've done just a little of that too. Simpler than the computer design programs. Good to see you in this video for a couple seconds.
hi trev, hope all's well with you. angel did all the fab herself. she's gotten good with the tools we have. i just helped her a bit with the design and the welding and i'll be teaching her to weld right away. it's one of the next endeavors. cheers, bill
Wow, colour me impressed. You should start a production facility, and paint them red💪🏻 My Dyna has a bit of a handling issue, so you now have me scratching my head a little, but I gotta sort my transmission out 1st! Well done. I can't wait to hear how it handles when you get it out on dry roads. Respect👊🏻
This was a catastrophic design flaw from H-D and they should have fixed this problem at no charge on every affected Dyna. Great info, Angel! Thank you!
in the day they made a fork stiffener, it was a wide like 4" wide horseshoe that bolted to the fender mounts but it wraps around the wheel/fender, aluminum, most of the hi speed wobble comes from the thin forks and lack of stabilization implementation, the wheel has no stability so each side of the axle is able to move/wobble freely independently .. you can just brace fork to fork, on that brace you can add an "adjustable steering stabilizer" back to the chassis.. prefered setup really . . look up .. "Power Steering Fork Brace" and steering stabilizer to see what I am referring to.. you can fab all that up, make all but the stabilizer I spose? take a good look at the motoamerica bagger race bike setups, they struggled with it as well early on and those bikes hit some good top speeds of 185 mph so you can imagine how that felt till that was all ironed out . .
hahahaha. the whole hole... too funny dyna death wobble is serious stuff; I've got a stabilizer on my Pan America. nice work. I absolutely love watching you and your dad work together; really excellent content ! By the way, this "rat" bike is fabulous, really awesome, truly. 😉✌ marcus
Great diy video, saves, I assume some money that a bought one would cost. On a different note, take another thing from your dad and run a comb through your hair, just as he appears to have done.😊😊
@@o.u.t.olduglytroll3712 yes I found it right next to Aachen. About 10 years ago I had a pilot's license and I flew over there often. Now I only ride a motorbike and am often in the Netherlands. 😄👍
When my favourite little redhead biker starts working in the shop, I make myself a cup of coffee and watch the fun. Please do me a favour and wear eye protection around your equipment. Also, tie up your hair so it doesn’t get caught on machinery. I want my cool biker girl to stay healthy and safe.
Excellent video. Two suggestions, always wear eye protection & never wear gloves when using a drill press. Stringers can grab on to your gloves and are not forgiving.
brazing would dump too much heat into the frame because you'd have to use a torch and get the areas being brazed dull red hot. if the frame was bare and stripped of paint over a large area around the spot being brazed that would work in the front but at the back there's a pretty heavy forged piece you'd have to heat and even with a bare and stipped frame it just wouldn't be practical to braze. plus you'd need to find a different way to jig the weld on mounts in place because the stabilizer links would not survive that kind of heat. mig is a bit hotter but it localizes the heat much better.
20:39 i wish you wouldn't have fast forwarded that part, so that we could all clearly see the proud look on your dad's face. I wish I had all the stuff you do in your garage. I had a guy on reddit basically recreate the exact sputhe kit and he was selling the material templates so that all I had to do was drill & tap the bolt holes, weld the bungs for the front mount, bench sand the shape, etc. Dude was way off with his measurements ,and the material was waaaay too thin. He wasn't charging for em, so can't complain too much. I wish you were closer so u could show me how to make one
You did a wonderful job. For next time though. Use cardboard for the template, then go to send cut send. They'll laser cut the pieces, drill and tap, and its not much more than doing it yourself. Having said that. Can i get the dimensions for those pieces? 😂
Nice job. I’m surprised you don’t try jackhammer grips for your bikes. They are smaller diameter and might fit your hands better? Let’s all crush it in 2025!
YT must be acting up or its my connection. lol It doesn't show my last two comments in my discussion unless I click newest comments. Should be 9 relies
Sometimes, after watching a video, my male feelings tell me goodbye. (Angel makes metal parts using cool solutions.. Or me, who cuts everything off by eye in a minute using an Angular grinding machine. I even make crucial holes in the metal by eye with a battery-powered screwdriver.😂😬

Nice project. I am wondering if you considered brazing instead of welding to minimize the effect of heat on the frame.
brazing would dump too much heat into the frame because you'd have to use a torch and get the areas being brazed dull red hot. if the frame was bare and stripped of paint over a large area around the spot being brazed that would work in the front but at the back there's a pretty heavy forged piece you'd have to heat and even with a bare and stipped frame it just wouldn't be practical to braze. plus you'd need to find a different way to jig the weld on mounts in place because the stabilizer links would not survive that kind of heat. mig is a bit hotter but it localizes the heat much better.
What my dad just said lol
Thanks for the explanation!
@ you're welcome
Fantastic fabs😊
Thanks!
20:39 i wish you wouldn't have fast forwarded that part, so that we could all clearly see the proud look on your dad's face.
I wish I had all the stuff you do in your garage. I had a guy on reddit basically recreate the exact sputhe kit and he was selling the material templates so that all I had to do was drill & tap the bolt holes, weld the bungs for the front mount, bench sand the shape, etc. Dude was way off with his measurements ,and the material was waaaay too thin. He wasn't charging for em, so can't complain too much. I wish you were closer so u could show me how to make one
I got a shop kitty too. Always in the way. 😂😂😂
Yep lol
Should do a side by side comparison with a fxr to see if they handle the same now
🤔 would be a good idea!!
@RedRiderCanadaBC if you can't find a willing victim in your area, I got one you can use and only a few hours from the border
WHEN IN DOUGHT THROTTLE OUT THAT BIKE RUNNING A GOOD TRIPPLE CLAMP
Nice job, wish you could do that to my 05 Dyna
Thanks!
You did a wonderful job. For next time though. Use cardboard for the template, then go to send cut send.
They'll laser cut the pieces, drill and tap, and its not much more than doing it yourself.
Having said that. Can i get the dimensions for those pieces? 😂
Lol yea send me an email if you want them. redrider.canada.bc@gmail.com
Nice curls
Woo hoo! Happy new year Angel!
Happy New Year! 🥳
Super Chapitscha 👌
Respect!!!!!!
Congrats on the Engineering - I'll let my Harley friends know
Thank you 🙏
UR Dad RULES...Red Angel..!!!
Brains & Beauty ❤
😊
Equally impressive!
Also impressive is the in depth explanation of each step and measurement.
Nice job. I’m surprised you don’t try jackhammer grips for your bikes. They are smaller diameter and might fit your hands better?
Let’s all crush it in 2025!
I've got a set of Arlen Ness grips I'm going to put on the Dyna
Way to go Angel
Using gloves around a drill is a good way to mess your hands up. Safety
A friend had a death wobble not on a harley it was a combination of badbearings and unbalanced wheel
Scary stuff 😨
Hey little sister, it appears you have a new camera? Or new software that renders in higher resolution? Whatever...looks sharp.
Same cameras lol
Could you hire someone to market that kit so you can retire early?
Haha that would be a dream
Sounds pretty good but I done eat.
❤
👍
This is a HOLE-some video, Red!
😆
Oberste Liga.. 👍😎
Thank you 😊
You look a bit down recently on your videos you ok ?
🤷♀️
Interesting
YT must be acting up or its my connection. lol It doesn't show my last two comments in my discussion unless I click newest comments. Should be 9 relies
it's all good on my end...
I see them all there
Be careful using gloves around a drill press.
Sometimes, after watching a video, my male feelings tell me goodbye. (Angel makes metal parts using cool solutions.. Or me, who cuts everything off by eye in a minute using an Angular grinding machine. I even make crucial holes in the metal by eye with a battery-powered screwdriver.😂😬
