2 years and 8 body swaps later, Monk goes to change his tail light in this bike and is like "WTF is this third wire for?" and spends a week trying to figure it out only to remember that he put in a dead wire for looks.
@@ProfessionalMonkey I feel that; my Shovel project is getting it, but that's my "make this as hard to ride as possible" project. My Sporty chop kept standard controls for rideability and I don't regret it
What amazes me the most is how you find the time to do all of this with a full time job, a family, and a youtube channel that puts out this much content. Every time I watch your videos I feel like a lazy p0s.
Milwaukee fuel is the best one I’ve had so far and it doesn’t have that big ass battery on the bottom I had the dewalt MAC ratchet didn’t last long looked just like that with Mac on it
That ratchet looks awesome. Need to find me one. I use milwaukee power ratchet and impacts daily at work. Also a quality product if youre looking again in future. Great video looks amazing so far.
Great video But my OCD kicked in and all i heard was “BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!!” Hopefully whoever was backing up for eternity made it to their destination lol!!!!
Nice! A reliable chopper is where it’s at. My TC dyna was stolen. Gone for two years and came back a spray painted rats nest. I love the bike and always wanted a chopper. It’s only a roller now but I’m starting to get a vision. 👀
Look into finding a LED bulb for your headlight, I’ve got a buddy that has a hard tail with a springer front end and he was always breaking the filament. Just something to think about
Just a comment and thanks for the great videos. If the tranny isn't new I would slap a new shifter oil seal in while you have the inner primary off. Save you an oil leak later. Just sayin ask me how I know.
When you add that washer behind the sprocket would strongly suggest you use a case hardened washer if you use a regular washer it could chew itself up just trying to prevent possible problems later
With the taillight wires wrapped around the frame there would be a possibility that some random bit of road debris might cut them. Wouldn't shut down the bike or anything but might get you a ticket.
Here at the "H.O.B.T" House Of Broken Toys..... we break shit every day. Never met a toy we couldn't fix or a member of our facility that can be fixed🤷🏻♂️. We like it that way... DeWalt is the business for sure.... All I use anymore. The xr series is amazing. Keep up the good work.
I went through 2 dewalt power ratchets in 6 months. Bought a Milwaukee and no problems for 3 years. I think it is just a crap shoot if they work or not.
Love watching the progress on the chopper. If you want a long life out of your ratchets, it's best to not do final torque or breaking loose super tight fasteners with your cordless. Use a conventional ratchet or breaker bar to break the fastener loose, then use cordless to run a bolt out. They're really not designed for heavy torque situations. You can do it of course, but the tool will not last as long. Rock on P.M.!
Fun Watching, brings me back to the 80's and 90's when i was building bikes in my mother in laws sunken garage, she didn't have a car and my wife back then would take her where she needed to go and i would mow the lawn and trim the hedges in exchange for using the garage, built a couple metrics and 2 triumph tigers and my sporty chopper you've seen pics of, too old now arthritis in my hands makes for a long day in the garage lol.......So thanks enjoying watching you do it
Heard good thinks about the DeWalt, using the M12 myself. But honestly I just use a drill on the lowest clutch setting for inserting bolts before I torque them up. Bike's looking good, done before you know it!
The rear fender almost looked as though it had a twist in it. It may have been just the camera. The curve in the fender will probably look better with some curve and shape to it.. Great looks and lines.
Brother, what and the heck was that beeping in the background? I sat here on my couch Watching the video trying to figure out. Was it in my house or on my TV then I realized it was in your video.🤣🤣🤣
its coming along good, patients always needed (fit n refit) when building a custom. I would upgrade that (jingle jingle) compensator and primary chain adjuster.
Some are gifted to have the patience to do these types of builds. I like working on stuff but after it comes on and off 4 times I'm looking for some Hennessey. Maybe tomorrow.
I've been running a K and P reusable oil filter on my 2013 twin cam for about 10 years and 70K miles now and love it and its paid for itself by now...and it looks cool
Little off topic but I just watched your video about lone wolfs That's a misconception now because I'm actually part of the Canadian lone Wolf's coalition of Independent riders in Canada we don't claim territory we do a lot of good things including charity work
Monkey, you’re definitely inspiring me to get/build a chopper. Still got the springer and my Glide, so Hell let’s keeping adding to the Harley family in the garage. (Definitely making sure the wife wasn’t lookin over my shoulder as I’m typing this. lol)
Instead of the king and queen one piece seat a three piece seat. A solo seat for the rider ( ease of access to the battery and oil fill), a passenger pad and a separate pad for the back rust. Just a suggestion.
Washer or Machine Bushing ? [ Tractor Supply ] A Machine Bushing is an accurately drilled, and ground washer . Hardware store washers lack the percision of a machine bushing . I love the idea of a new , old school build .
SAE washers should be 1/10 inch thickness, IIRC. Of course I'm officially old today (full Social Security age: 68), so WTF do I know? Lemme go find a cloud to yell at.

Mr. Monk.... Dude, been a sub for years now....and you always crack me up with laughter. Tearing up the garage, getn pi$$ed off like where the "F" did I put that dang socket that I just had? Been there so many times. Did you then do the same song and dance trying to find your glasses that are your head? Been there too! 🤣
i am almost 25 y.o and i have a 250cc daelim daystar no money for a better bike the economy in Greece is realy bad i realy like your videos if you ever come to Greece i whould love to have a beer with you and go for a ride i am not in any organisation but i realy like to ride can you gide me on how to pick my next bike
@Mrsmonkey5151 my personal opinion is either round or square... but they need to have visors. :-) I have two 4.5 inch round headlights with visors on my paughco springer. One on top of the other. I really like that. I have seen people use square led light bars, I personally don't like that look.... too modern looking. I saw a triangle mounted upside down... that was interesting. At the end of the day whatever you prefer. Check out videos of born free, the smokeout, the prowl, or full tilt boogie. Lots of good ideas there!!!
Might not mean anything to you but to me, you are a builder with this project (compared to an assembler). All the custom parts you pull out of your magic hat to overcome obstacles make you a builder in my eyes. Great job, it's fun to see how you enjoy this project 🤙👍 all power to you, boss.
@@ProfessionalMonkey I have a question about tires, specifically new tires and getting them “broken in”. I love watching you tinker around on your bikes and respect your opinion on a lot of things!!! I just put new tires on my 2016 Electra Glide Ultra and I’m a relative new-ish rider and these will be the first time I’ve ever rode my bike on new tires! My question is, how should I ride the bike once I get it back from the shop with new tires, 14” Fat Bagger bars, and new Ohlins rear shocks(lots of new thingys)????

Been there with sckketts , same Damn thing in my pocket ? lol. good luck with new toy !
Just a comment and thanks for the great videos. If the tranny isn't new I would slap a new shifter oil seal in while you have the inner primary off. Save you an oil leak later. Just sayin ask me how I know.
Try it and see what happens! Lol brother you are my kinda mechanic. Most of my projects are based on that premise 😅
When you add that washer behind the sprocket would strongly suggest you use a case hardened washer if you use a regular washer it could chew itself up just trying to prevent possible problems later
My two cents… lower the rear gaurd so you don’t have such a big gap between the tyre & Gaurd.
I don’t like 90s style choppers. Good call on the better cover
Definitely looks like a badass bike can’t wait to see her when she’s finished!
1:34 you forgot going to the shop for more parts and tools like 1/2 dozen times.

Good job Monkey.... Not all hero's wear capes
Use vacuum line and run the electrical back. Simple
Always looking for a free hand out LOL
They're nice when you're out of cash and need a tool for sure!
Simplify wiring and use the Motogadget M-unit basic or blue. Reduces the number of breakers required. Using it on my 1982 restoration FXE.

Dk Customs has the oil filter you are looking for. I have on my 2020 street glide. I believe under 100.00 bucks!

I’ll check theirs out. Thanks bud!
No worries brother

Always add, never subtract 😈. Remember everyone needs a tourer, a bar hopper and something old.
I’m glad you’re building a rider. There’s too many trailer queens out there. So much time effort and cash go into it and it just sits.
Instead of the king and queen one piece seat a three piece seat. A solo seat for the rider ( ease of access to the battery and oil fill), a passenger pad and a separate pad for the back rust. Just a suggestion.
I have thought of trying a La Pera two piece, but not three. I don't like the gap between the backrest pad and seat.
How about running an 18 inch rear with a 23 up front.
That’s a cool look. I’ve seen it done and it really looks great.
That's the way Billy Lane seems to like them.

Hi da Monk.
The build is doing great, just thought you needed to hear that.

How much rake in frame on 6" ?
None. Stock rake similar to a late 30s Knuckle. I think it’s 33 stock
I couldda swore you said no more floor work after the twin cam swap!? Couldn't resist! Nice job!!
Yeah, it hasn’t worked out… 😂😂
He also said no more deadline builds 🙈 he never learns.

Well that’s $200 I don’t have to spend on parts because I need one of these.

Put an old floor high beam switch out on your highway pegs
I am a fan of dual headlights.
What do you think: Round, triangle or rectangle? Still trying to decided
