The Job's In Tatters | SRAD | BBB Reload 

Always love a JHS episode! We need another 'tip of the week' bit from James 👍

"He never tells you anything wrong, then again he might not always be right" is some Sun Tzu level wisdom.

About to watch but let me be the first to say.. "WE'VE BEEN WAITING ON THIS!" SRAD/ZX7R the legendary, original & best BBB series! 👊 Can't wait!

As a mechanic it always makes me laugh when people spray the head of the bolt with penetrating fluid and expect that to do anything lol.

Send that shock to me, I'll test it on the shock dyno before and after a rebuild. I'll even let you have the video rights 😀

I love all things 44T, BBB and JHS. I full on belly laugh watching these.

Rodney is a national treasure. We must protect that man at all costs 😉

Rodney is a legend!

We need more of this fellas!

these shop vids are always comfy

Smiled all the way through this funny and very charming episode. Thank you gentlest of men!

Do more of these I love them.

Always fun seeing a critical part fail... I'd honestly tried to Tig weld it, but having another one on hand would make me keep the weed one for spare parts.

Serious work still to be done, can't wait to see the follow up from Chris' bike next.

yessss more srad zx7r stuff😍 the 90's bikes are the best, so much for less money, at germany a really really good srad or zx7r costs arround 2,5 k and this is the injection version of the srad..who needs more?

It's good, but 12 minutes wasn't enough to hit the vinegar stroke....more please!!!

Ohh "You buy em cheep, you buy em twice" Sounds like something spoken from experience. Sounds like the truth.

"He never tells you anythin' wrong... but then again, it might not be always right." 😂

Love these workshop videos Particularly the old fella!

Those bearing on the linkage had gone on mine as well. Had to go to a engineering shop to get them sized up as koyo did not make them any more. Had to get the spacing tube as well. Here is some advice if you have not replaced bearings before. Measure how deep they sit as a lot of the bearings do not bottom out. You need to be precise when installing them.

Big up JHS! 👍

James. Everything is always better with James. Then you add the magic of Derek and a bit of Bonno and you've got yourself a must watch episode! Love this series. 😎👍

"You buy it cheap? you buy it twice."- Smart Man

This week I watched all the BBBs, and damn is so good

be worth it in the end. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the forks.

The first BBB made me buy my first bike and i bought an srad 750 🤘 and got the k5/6 headers after that episode you talked about it. With a modified k3/4 titanium midpipe the exhaust is about half the weight and sounds amazing. But It melted the fairings a bit but f**k that 😆

Whoa...lucky break getting that spare swing arm...though arguably bad luck the old one was cracked, I suppose. Looking forward to seeing this all nice and done.

WAS THAT A FART YOU SQUEEZED OFF AT PRECISELY 7:06??? I'm in the states and that's why I love you guys. I'm a 61 yr old juvenile that goes out and does "irresponsible" things on my mt10. Go ahead, just click on that blue 7:06 time stamp about 5 times in a row and laugh your arse off! Great content gentlemen....lol.

I would love to see a mini-BBB season with the rebuilt ZX7 and SRAD, maybe a simple 2 part trackday in spain or something

Oww .. my eyeballs hurt from that ‘focus’. Great content enjoyed it when my head didnt complain.

I remember riding a brand new '99 SRAD750 it was amazing how easy it would go light on front end and handle & brake like a demon. Hard to believe it's over 20yrs ago. However the 2000/01 R1 was the bike for me. In fact I wish I still had one today. The only bike I never modified.

Love seeing this taking shape !

"You buys cheap, you buys twice." Never a truer word spoken.

Can’t wait for the return of #teamsrad

I bought a 2nd hand ohlins shock for my 06 gsxr 1000,, as I'd rang to price a shock, luckily he had one serviced and sitting,, got it for £500 with a hydraulic preloaded adjuster,,,, loving this series on the bikes ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️from Northern Ireland, especially as James is a suzuki man

Swingarm cracks, pah! Welcome to 90's Ducati land - Weld em up!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Great stuff, love these BBB rebuilds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always keep.my eye out for the old classic Brit stunners in the background at John's shop. Not disappointed this week...

Rodney was a blur of action - 44t has another star !

Those swingarm cracks have me worried…

Absolutely lovin these videos at JHS im gagging for this next episode of the swing arm!

7:06 👍🏼 6/10 for noise, 1/10 for length but all in all it sounded good quality so a high 5/10 👍🏼 I feel a strong potato essence 👌🏼

I fitted a 14 plate gixer 1000 rear shock on mine went straight in is adjustable for height as well transformed the bike , night and day

Rear brake caliper mount on swinger,ditch the brake arm to frame,that will do it.Maybe plate bracing either side of swinger,should be sweeeeeeeeet.

Looking forward to the new SRAD episode ! ... in 5 months ;) Keep it going 44

09:00: "He never tells you anything wrong, but again he might not be aways right" lolololol :) He is great!

❤️ Hammer Time with Derrick Racing

Budget bikes to buy but if you factor in labour and parts not so budget bikes been there with a money pit of my own end up selling for less just because the stress of fixing one thing and finding another wasn't right pissed me off.

Alright I'm just going to be blunt and say this. The last BBB with the whacky bikes and the UK trip was not fun to watch, I watched it all and it was probably the least fun BBB so far. But this, this is it. You might think I'm a nut but this is how it started, vlog style, first person, some banter at JHS, nothing too elaborate or whacky. Just plain old quality 44 teeth. Hope to see more of this type of video in this BBB. :)

My cbr929rr will be in this state in my next video. I just got a rear link myself. Bushings are thankfully a bit less tatty than the SRAD. Keep up the great work lads, cheers.

OMG now im completely terrified to remove anything off my bike in fear of discovering GOD KNOWS WHAT AHHHH!!!!

Can't wait till you and Sue are done with modding and take that first ride!

Rodders and James need their own spin off channel! Looks like an amazing place to 'work'!

Literally every UK bike 10+ years old has a seized swingarm, or at least some of the shock linkage bearings/plates will be seized. Weather + salt + humidity just fricking kills them. Quite often you see a swing arm bearing seized or near seized, so then the load goes into the swingarm instead of through the bearing = stress and eventually cracks. Had one (11 year old bike!!) on a test ride from a used dealer, one half of swing arm snapped causing rear wheel to fly across to one side, was nearly ended that day under some truck wheels. Check your bearings/swing arm condition every few years, unless you live in south of France, in which case your probably good for double that lol.

I spit out some rice when James said, "Look at 'im, he's like a tasmanian devil"

James must have bits for almost every Suzuki ever made

Here we go!

Hope the next instalment isn’t too long away 😉

He Al, are you sure James didn't sell you your own swing arm?? 🤣🤣 Probably has that cracked one lying around for just this type of situation.

Nice to see James's WD40 turned up, loads of boxes in the last section

Just commenting for the algorithm... keep up the good work lads.

Would be absolutely stoked if you'd get a GPZ900R and put some proper parts on it :)

Love the srad wonder how much you guys have spent in total doing them up

Human League on the radio, now that is a class shop!

Mannnnnn I’ve been waiting for more videos on these lol

"You buys cheap you buys twice" yep specially when you do not know exactly what is wrong with whatever you buy and not just with 2nd hand motorbikes. There is no way you'd find the crack on the swingarm unless you open her up. Also, always enjoy a James and workshop video. Its like a documentary of the daily life of JHS.

Been waiting for this!

I love these

That Rickman is beautiful!

You need to have a rematch between the SRAD and ZX-7R once all the upgrades and fixes are done. This time, it'll be the Beautiful Bike Battle.

Another European trip with these again would be a laugh

and, no shit, I was literally sitting there watching a Moto America race on RU-vid thinking about if I should sell my R1 to get....... an SRAD, when this video alert popped up.

Team SRAD 🏁🏁🏁🏁👍

SRAD Shock can be used as a budget Upgrade of a SV650 (first gen

I love these JHS episodes. Allways a good time :D

I would be curious to know if that swingarm can be repaired or not? That would be great to see at least!

You're not having much luck with the SRAD, Al. Hopefully the rear suspension shitfest will be where the real problems start & finish. I wonder how Perkin's luck is doin' with the ZX7R? I hope it's in a better state than mine was when I bought it!

James is awesome

Bring the bbb reload back

Algorithm👍 did that help? Seriously though please yes more content with that black beauty🤤

The first bike worldwide without wheels

Nice swing arm

Awsome video

HURRY UP!!!

Golden rule: you buy cheap, you buy twice. This series is entertaining and painful to watch in the same time😅. I’ll never ever buy a budget bike though. I don’t have a budget for it.

This will be the best srad ever made when its finished

That bike is literally trigger’s broom

Stop the presses!! there's a 44teeth video allert!

Love the vids can't beat the old girl bikes ❤❤ got a gsxr k4 k5 600 engine need any parts boys let me know 👍👍

Yeah but what about the cider,,, bikes brand new now

I feel drunk watching this.

"What a mess - this town's in tatters . . Sha oobie . . . . . . . .

I'm sorry, but that Thruxton TFC Derek was proudly desiderating over deserved more attention and air time!

Has the BBB Reload been posted? The new bbb has been uploaded today but I thought this one would be first?

Just our of curiosity, whatever happened with the BBB Re-load series? Did you guys have a trip in mind that got canceled due to travel restrictions? Do you still plan on another adventure with the SRAD & ZX-7 in the future?

Triggers broom that bike.

Yesss

Would love for you guesstimate the number of hours that have been spent on this snotter by James & The Gang, and then work out t]the money they should have charged you. I reckon you could have bought a new GSXR1000 by now.

I need more now! 🤤🤤😁😁😁

A cheap project bike, never is!
