Thank you brother, I didn't realise you were a Dr Who fan, many of us don't admit to it! The question is, who was the best Doctor?!

@morrow.m 3 года назад

@@Moonfleet41 oh now that’s the way to start an internet flame war. My dad used to watch Dr Who with my brother and I back in the early 80’s. Tom Baker I believe? Likely on repeat. But of the more recent ones. Im partial to David Tennant. But I’ve not kept up super well with all seasons. More of a if it’s on I’m glued but not a serial watcher. How do we feel about Jodie Whittaker? I’ve not seen any of her episodes yet. Just the sound of the Tardis takes me back and makes me smile. 👍

@sallyboy5418 5 лет назад

I have the same FXDWG (01) with the stock spoke wheel. I have no issues what so ever with a 150mm rear instead of the stock 130mm. Mind you i installed a Metzeler ME 880 then the upgraded ME888 at replacement. The Metzeler has minimal expansion when heated under load therefore no rubbing issues tho very tight between the fender. This i am told (and so far holding true) will not work with a Dunlop, Michelin or others because they expand alot when heated up. When i did this i was very, very sceptical but the mechanic guaranteed it so i pulled the trigger and could not have been happier and looks great with that meaty 150 out back.

@Moonfleet41 5 лет назад

Not sure if you saw in a recent video but i showed the clearance between the tyre wall and the belt.. and its about 3mm... not sure if you have a slim belt conversion, but mine still runs the full width 1"1/2 inch belt and there is no room for a bigger tyre, the belt would even hit a 140 let alone any wider....

@edwelld 5 лет назад

Surely there is nothing more satisfying than a lathe. The total absorption of transforming big pieces of metal into smaller ones, followed by the horrific realisation that the workshop is completely engulfed in swarf. Great stuff Del, always look forward to watching.

@Moonfleet41 5 лет назад

OK, I get that you don't like it, but stick with it chaps... bobbers are short and stumpy with upright forks, like a StreetBob or FatBob, but the Dyna Wide Glide has 5 degrees shallower forks rake and is almost 3" longer, a chopped up half length rear fender would make the back end look unfinished... and out of context with the steeper raked forks, a bit like the Marlborough Man bike, the back of that just looked odd... at least 6 Harleys have had a ducktail fender, it's one of their most classic looks and as the old saying goes, there's more to life than bobbers lol Stick with it., you'll see...!!!

@picassoimpaler3243 5 лет назад

would definitely suggest using washers of different thicknesses if your using this method. the 2mm (just a guess) isnt going to be accurate enough to get you where you want if your going through all the work for these custom spacers. You dont want your swingarm bowing inward when you torque the rear wheel down, as it seems to from the footage here. Even though its a small amount, that is quite a lot of tension within the swingarm if its being bent in. If your spending all that time to do something precision, you might as well go all the way. Just my opinion

@Moonfleet41 5 лет назад

All swing arms spring out when released, some more than others, and with mine, it springs out to the exact amount right now, as it did with the factory spacer and the factory wheel, so I've got the spacing correct... also, the est gauge of all is the length of the axle, when my axle nut is done up, I have just two threads clear in the open, so any wider and I wouldn't be able to insert the split pin through the castle nut... good points well made though, my friend, thanks for sharing your insight, much appreciated!

Hello Del. I've just taken out and reinstalled my 2020 Softail Harley. On reinstalling I noticed that the spacer's are large in diameter like yours and was thinking that the press against the outside of the wheel bearing. That seems strange to me as I was assuming they clamp against the inside of the bearing, is this correct. It seems to work fine but confusing.

At the moment I have the spacers provided and a 0.05mm Shim washer on and I dont trust that it will be strong enough to ride. could you tell me how I would go about having a new spacer made, I do not have a lathe like yourself and Ive tried google searching machine shops to have new spacers made but I dont seem to have much luck.

With the altered tolerance in the new spacer will their be any issue when the axle/spacer heats up? (I have no idea how hot either would get, so maybe irrelevant...)

@motorbikemad001 5 лет назад

The axle or spindle and spacers aren't moving parts, the spacer faces up to the wheel bearing which is the moving part, there's also a spacer in the centre of the wheel between the two wheel bearings to take the stress when the spindle is torqued up.

@picassoimpaler3243 5 лет назад

@@brucemilne8780 your not wrong, the bearing will still transfer heat into the spacer and the force onto the axle will also make heat through minor bending stresses. That being said, I doubt it would become an issue because 1) this isnt going to be a rossi track bike that loads the axle with ridiculous force around corners and 2) The materials are going to be very similar in thermal expansion rate since they are the same (or very close) material. I like the way your thinking though!

@@picassoimpaler3243 I agree that it's not a track bike and experiencing those forces, so probably not an issue. I was thinking initially more of the weight of all that HD sitting on the axle and upping the friction and so more heat, etc etc.

Just over a year ago I bought myself a Softail and thanks to the “Harley Softail Service series”, which brought me to your channel, I’m now doing all the maintenance myself!! Recently I got new wheels, discs and pulley. The hubs have threads to bolt into and are billet aluminum. Now I have searching for the correct torque settings for the bolts (5/16 UNC, 3/8 UNC and 7/16 UNC all torx heads) in to aluminum, but couldn’t find a clear answer. Would you by any chance know the correct torque setting or where to look it up? Greetings from Holland

Hi Vlores, Thank you for your kind feedback my friend, It's so good to hear you have a Harley now and keep it in good shape by yourself.. that makes me hugely proud to know that we have maybe inspired that... Thank you so much for that support.. For your wheels, all of the torque range values will be listed in the HD Workshop Manual, If you do not have one, they are a fantastic investment, and something you should certainly have in your garage.. Get the direct from your local HD main dealer.. they are expensive.. (about £70 over here), but money very well spent, you will find yourself turning to it every time you do anything on your bike... i use mine all the time... I could look up the range values for you in my book, but i fear that they could be different for my 99" Dyna Wide Glide.. i don't have a manual for new Softail. Hope that helps you in some way Vlores, Good luck with your bike my friend, keep in touch and let us know how you get on... Del..

Del, thank you for the quick response! You and Penny inspired that without any doubt. I mean, everything is so clearly described and pictured, that it feels like I’m following a course and I could even build my own motorcycle. And I think I will! For the Manual, I do actually have one but was guessing the torque range values would be different for aluminum. I’ve got a FLSTN ‘96 and for example, according to the manual, the range for the pulley on the stock hub with locknuts, is 75-88 Nm. Now, that seemed a little high to me and I was afraid to strip the aluminum threads. Or shouldn’t that be a problem?

@Moonfleet41 5 лет назад

Hi again Vlores, Ok, just checked my Dyna manual, and on the sprocket bolts, it gives two values.... for "Laced wheels" it gives 61-75Nm, and for "Cast Wheels" it gives 75-88 Nm... So as you can see it varies, and that always encourages doubt... so if this was my install, i would contact the supplier/manufacturer of the actual wheels, and ask them what torque value they recommend.. they will know that the exact material is that the wheels are made from, and should have the right data for basic specs such as fitting wheels and discs.... And obviously, don't forget the Threadlock on each bolt..! Sorry i can't be more specific mate.. hope that helps in some way... Del.

@koistory5744 5 лет назад

Ok, yes that indeed varies. Thanks for checking and it certainly helps! I have emailed the supplier so hopefully they can help. Yes I will not forget that threadlock!! Got myself the loctite 2701 as you recommended...Thanks again for your help and kindness and good luck with the Hyabusa project!

Works for any bike, just make sure it's correct as it's pretty critical.!

@jeffreyengle2762 5 лет назад

NEED YOUR ADVICE PLEASE I am curious on your opinion about using the same oil to change all three areas in my new 2018 road king? I would like to know what you recommend and why...

@Moonfleet41 5 лет назад

Talk with your Harley dealer, maybe get a word with one of their master Tech's and ask them about "Screaming Eagle Syn3", it's developed initially for the V-Rod racing engines, and exceeds all of the recommended oils for your bike..so it's been long accepted by many Harley owners to use it in all three holes.... Now because you have a bike that is practically brand new, and will be one of the later modern motors, (107ci i presume?) then i would take the advice of the technicians at the dealership and go with their advice.. mainly because your bike is still very much under manufacturers warranty, and its important to follow the right advice.. I hope that helps.. let me know what they say as im always interested in what the factory guys have to say... Good luck.. Del.

@jeffreyengle2762 5 лет назад

Moonfleet41 they say Syn3 in all three holes..... I just am hesitant about using it in the transmission....

Another first class video. I never tire of watching you at work. Although I have been riding and fixing for 46 years I am still learning from you. Keep them coming. One question: what are you doing with the setsquare and straight edge off the tool itself?

@Moonfleet41 5 лет назад

Hi both, hope you're well, thank you for your kind words... the ruler and set square is to measure the tool height, you trap the rule against the work piece and naturally being round, if the tool is precisely in the centre, then the rule will stand dead upright, and you check that with the set square because the tool post is dead flat with the bed! ...it's a quick way of checking too height without having to centre it withe the tail stock!

Super nice, Del. Is it likely that the factory spacer was once the same size as the one you just so magnificently made but over the years it’s gotten worn and now is tired a bit? Have a great week! 🏍👍🏍

@mightyreta 5 лет назад

Quick question: should you not torque in a star pattern? Wasn't clear from this vid if you did or Didn't? Also is that tyre clearance correct? I'd have thought 3mm would be easy to eat into with a heavier rider or a lower pressure in the tyre?

@Moonfleet41 5 лет назад

Generally speaking a star pattern is preferable in any situation, but no so necessary here, the bolts are only 4" apart, it's a thick solid pulley against a solid hub, there's no gasket involved and it's not a large unstable engine casing, which always needs the correct torque down order... but I did do the discs in a star pattern, as specially with the front one, that little alloy spacer ring is an interference fit and the disc carrier squeezes down over it... good observation my friend, really appreciate your engagament...

@mightyreta 5 лет назад

@@Moonfleet41 I was always told by my dad (maritime engineer so may be different) that you got false torque readings if you didn't star torque anything that rotated. Essentially if you torque down in a circular manner, you can pull one side of the disk out. I. E. You tighten say 2 bolts on the one side the opposite side lifts slightly off the mating surface. Then when you reach the lifted side of the disk, you the torque setting before you have even overcome this lift on the disk? Ergo you have all bolts "torqued" to the same setting but your disk is not running true. Tolerances are probably greater with the size of stuff my dad used to work on so possibly a moot point.

@Moonfleet41 5 лет назад

@@mightyreta All great in theory, but as I explained in the video, you torque down in two increments and do a secondary pass each time to make sure that everything is square... but if in doubt, do what works best for you my friend... thanks for your input, much appreciated my friend.

Good evening, I know this question is not about this video but I do value your opinion. I might be going to look at a 05 Triumph Daytona with 6k miles on it for $3,000. What do you personally think about Triumphs. One of the Down side is availability of parts. Thanks man:)

@Moonfleet41 5 лет назад

Hi mate, interesting queston, am probably biased to answer such a question as we have two Triumphs in our garage already, and obviously being in England, all the parts we could ever want are on the shelf, so that's never really been an issue for us... so I guess it depends where you live, but in terms of reliability and sound investment in value terms, you couldn't do better... we've found ours to be reliable, easy to work and fun to ride... !

the diameter of the new wheel is drastically smaller even with the lowered ohlins. Thats why I am proposing it. But you are closer, (obvs) u know best.
