I think this is actually the first time I've ever seen you do a motorcycle. I've always wondered if you ever do motorcycles cuz you never do any videos on them. They are more time consuming than what a lot of people think.

@akaredcrossbow Год назад

People don’t want to pay the price for a professional motorcycle detail. They think it’s small, so it’s easier and cheaper. They don’t understand what goes into a professional motorcycle detail. It can take as long, or in most cases longer than a car.

Wow I'm blown away at the difference you made with this Harley. Great work. That bike looks fantastic.

@chargerman426 Год назад

The primary and rocker boxes are clear coated alum. So unless you remove the clear you will never get that POP of a polished alum. Thats why people that want that pop chrome them or powder them in whatever color they want (generally black).

@glumdogtrillionaire Год назад

If it were clear coated, the pads wouldn’t have turned carbon black. Unless all his steel wooling removed it.

@akaredcrossbow Год назад

There is no clear coat on Harley aluminum parts, not even on stock aluminum wheels. It’s all raw polished aluminum. If you want to keep it shiny then you polish it and clear coat it yourself, or you polish the raw aluminum yourself every other weekend. If the parts were clear coated there would be no black residue/oxidation left on the pad or cloth.

@matthewbn199 Год назад

Not correct. No clear coat on Harley aluminum. Is is bare metal

@akaredcrossbow Год назад

@@matthewbn199 take some aluminum polish to your polished or non polished aluminum on your Harley that is factory. Use a white cloth and see what is left on the cloth, black/dark residue. The residue is oxidized raw aluminum.

@Road_Rash Год назад

When I detail one of my motorcycles, I first remove the bags, seat, side covers & anything else that's meant to be easily removed, like cell phone holders & things like that before I ever even get the bike wet...I clean all that separately...also, a motorcycle jack comes in handy by getting the bike up where you can easily reach everything without killing your back, plus you can spin those wheels around to get every tiny spot on them...

@bradboustead1682 Год назад

Another comparison between cars and motorcycles to consider: a motorcycle is waay harder to blow dry. The ignition switch, the saddlebag locks, the switches on the handle bars, the wheel spokes, etc all hold water and will try to corrode. The engine can finish drying itself if are able to run it for a minute or so. Try not to blow dry the speakers with air.

@FABAutomotiveDetailing Год назад

Awesome job Larry! I have an Electra Glide and love it but it was a bit of a pain to clean it up to my liking when I first got it. If your lift is long enough you might be able to install a motorcycle wheel chock on one side that you can remove when you don’t need it. Once the bike is in the chock you can get off it and use 2 tie down straps to secure it to the lift.

@mofosoto Год назад

You oughtta stock some cheap shower caps in the shop to cover sensitive parts when power washing. I think I've seen bigger ones that go over steering wheels so you could have different sizes. Shoe booties for smaller ones, but I suppose you could just use a glove.

@EricleNormand Год назад

Thanks Larry, good show! It's good to see the Harley shine and hear it running👍

@iDropPhats Год назад

Great job Larry! For the rear wheels, if you can, try to shoehorn a wheel woolie onto a cordless drill, or a corded drill in the gap where you put the bit and run it on low speed. Use that to agitate product and it’ll save your fingers from early onset arthritis trying to get into the wheel gaps and as long as you’re not spinning it up really fast, it will be safe for the wheels!

@MrLurchsThings Год назад

Last time I had to clean a bike this dirty, I actually started with the air compressor. Bikes (especially naked bikes) have so many nooks and crannies where dust and dirt settles. I found it it be a better start to release all of that before getting it wet. You point about multiple brushes is so true. In fact in some points I reached for a large modellers brush. If you can find some/any way of removing the tank on a bike like this - do it. A bit like removing the seats in a car, the extra effort pays off for getting to other parts of the bike.

@Bugholeexcalibur Год назад

Yay, you did a bike. Was waiting for this for a while. I never thought to cover the air filter on mine when I power wash it. Regarding to the lift, trailer that transport bikes have a slot where you can put the front wheel so it doesn''t move. The slot is two pieces of metal that form the slot for the wheel to slide into, you should get an adjustable one that can be used for different tire widths. I think you can make one yourself and bolt it to one of the lifts when ever you need them. Having 2 points to secure the bike with straps to the lift is also a win.

@carsonfiero4209 Год назад

Get a front wheel chock like a “condor” brand stand. You can bolt it on top of one side of your lift. They usually come with quick bolts to make removing them easy. It will hold the front wheel securely with the bike standing straight off the side stand.

@CaliGrown909 Год назад

For the rear wheel I would say just roll the bike back and forth to reach the different parts of the wheel rather than having to reach around the belt and swing arm and avoid that finger strain, same thing with the front, and if you’d be a little more comfortable doing it on your own I would invest in a motorcycle floor jack which can allow you to remove the front or rear wheel. An axle nut holds the axle through the wheel and the front is a lot easier to take off than the rear but it is a simple concept.

@joehinkley668 Год назад

If ya ever get another touring bike like this one Lil tip you can pop those side covers you left on off.. they just push in a rubber bushing that way it's not to tedious to polish them on the bike ... love the work

@bradboustead1682 Год назад

As you mention, a motorcycle lift helps to rotate the wheels. Possibly you can put the motorcycle in the middle of your car lift and span the gap with 2 boards under the frame.

@jeffstonecipher1594 Год назад

Awesome job on this old twin-cam. Motorcycle detailing really does test peoples endurance and patience! Oddly for most people at home, a motorcycle lift just tends not to be necessary unless they prefer to do a lot of their own tire/suspension work. Somehow though I wound up with two lifts over the years (just gave one away to a co-worker) If you really want one for your shop, I would just recommend one of the smaller to medium size lifts, which tend to range from $70 -$300 -they all do get the job done. The larger professional ones start at $1000 and quickly go up- would be way overkill for your shop I would imagine. My medium sized "big red" was about $150 and lifts my Road King easily, and is easy to store out of the way all my other stuff cluttering up my garage. Really wish I used the thing more, but honestly most cleaning and maintenance for my bikes are just done on the kick stand

@twistedbarbell3950 Год назад

As always, nice job Larry! For the future, you could consider a strong, yet light weight platform that can bridge both sides of your lift. Or, at the very least, you can have a 10-12" plate that bridges the two sides, have someone weld both a few pieces to act as a channel for the kickstand and maybe screw in a eye to the far end of the bridge to be able to strap a hard part of the bike to the bridge/platform (to prevent accidental tip overs).

@andrewholt290 Год назад

There are several bike lifts on the market from $400 and up that lift from the frame below engine, provide stability, and enable the wheels to rotate for easier cleaning. You could also try straddling the bike across one of your existing lift rails to see it fits? Also I recommend a metrovac or similar air dryers to really get water from all the nooks and crannies of a bike. Love your products and videos!

@arymidaz3491 Год назад

You did a cool transformation on this bike Larry. It always takes more time and effort to do the details on motorcycle. The washing and detailing process is easier using the center jack on the bottom chassis so the tires are free to spin, making it easier to clean tires and wheels. For the engine, especially the cylinder head, the most comfortable thing is to remove the gas tank. For restoration, mechanical assistance is needed to remove plastic parts such as the outer shield and front and rear fenders. Then you gonna really feel comfortable and satisfied doing the polishing and detailing. You did a great job Larry. Salute... Greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩

@globaltalks1234 Год назад

I got 2 ideas that may make your life easier when cleaning motorcycles. 1. How about you try placing a thick board or metal sheet over the two edges of the car lift (2 edges as in the 2 long metal pieces where the wheels of the car is placed). By covering the gap between the 2 metal pieces, it creates like a flat area where the bike stand can rest. 2. Or if you want a more long-term solution, maybe try telling someone to make a 'custom cover' for your lift that covers the area between the 2 metal pieces. Of course, the custom cover should be able to hold the weight of a motorcycle.

Always wanted to see how you would tackle this job from your perspective. I’ve been detailing bikes for a few years now close to 20 a year. The before and after is extremely satisfying and I’ve had some amazing results. I actually specifically detail Harley’s typically no full restores just light compound and polish and metal polish. I loved seeing how you attacked the metal as I’m not familiar with that. Agreed with I always remove the bags first opens the rear wheel well. I didn’t catch what number steel wool you used but that does wonders. I thought the leather nourish was a neat trick really brought that seat back to life. -Dom

@LukeSoler Год назад

To use the car lift for bikes, you can place a strong piece of wood across the lift (having an H shape from top view). The bike wheels would sit 1 on each side of the lift (to support the bike's weight safely). The wood plank has to be wide enough to support both the wheels and the side motorbike stand on it, and also thick enough to support the little weight needed for the bike's side slung weight over its stand. I hope I see this method in action :P Obviously though, shake the bike to see how solid it is before actually working on it.
