Remember when you and crew sent prayers for my recovery from Pancreatic Cancer, well after 7 months of 3 day long chemo sessions and my surgery two weeks ago, I am home and Cancer Free. So Prayers are answered and I am 100% cancer free and home, Thanks to all that sent Prayers and Encouragement
A mighty stir could be heard thru the swamps. Swamp creatures hid in the foilage, the swamp has announced the rebirth of Barf Party ! Long live the King!!!
To be honest my favorite part about building this monstrosity is engineering and modifying the open belt primary with joe...we had a good time doing it and I think ist came out great
Just have to say that your channel is such a solid staple in my household, that my 2 year old sings the closing credits chorus while taking a bath at night. My wife sent me a video on Snapchat of him singing "Shaaaadetreee, AAARMY!!" last night and it had me laughing 😂
Do not under any circumstances ever even think about making it look pretty - what you have there is a perfect bike, you have all the goodies on one bike and you built it for less than a lot of people could ever dream of - well done, I salute you Sir !
Small point Shadetee, it appears that rather than starting the bike with the phone, rather you have used the bike to start the phone. In the hierarchy of things this is the correct order, it is the way.
I have no trouble cutting down a windshield. Masking tape inside and outside, mark your line, cut with a fine tooth saber saw, remove tape, sand the edge smooth, and finish with very fine sandpaper. It seems counterintuitive but a taller windshield causes more buffeting. It creates a vacuum zone that sucks the air up between your knees and hits the bottom of your helmet. I plan to cut down the Beige Malaise windshield. Certainly cheaper to cut a windshield down than buying a new one. And that plastic ain't cheap.
I was using a (detachable) HD softail springer 18" shield on my 2010 hotrod Dyna that had a 'vacuum' which lifted my visor at anything over 80, so I held the visor down with tape on highway rides. When it 'slipped outta my hand one day when I detached it, falling and breaking the lower part on one side - I was a bit bummed out as it was a must have on long trips with the 18" apes I was running. Then one day I looked at it in the shed and used a bandsaw to clean up the broken bit and make the other other side look the same. I put it on the bike and hey presto, the vacuum had gone so my visor didn't keep flipping up ANDI had a bit of a breeze from below the shield that kept me cool on hot days.... it still stops the rain from hitting me and the visor on the wet days as well. That ain't as lucky as a 2 litre engine for a grand though !
If you want to give the supertrapp a bit more bark, you can ditch the discs and run a larger bore end cap on them. The muffler itself is still fairly baffled but itll just give it a little bit more bark!
Howdy! I got back into bikes recently and have been catching up with your vids. I have found an 87 GL1200A and it now has a garfield. especially loving the cheap bike challenges Keep on keepin on
Im def gonna try and win her.. I am looking for a Twin Cam RK right now.. I love my street glide but its fully built and upgraded and I am actually done with it.. Bought the 2010 brand new and got to 38,000mi, but in 2020 started lifter ticking and compensator was going out, so it got tore down, replaced everything in primary, 107high compression kit, new heads & clutch, TB & intakes, cam & cam chest, HP oil pump, new shocks, new bars, new front wheel & tire, It was my plan to upgrade my current bike instead of spend $30k on a new one, and since I saved money and enjoyed restoring my bike, Im gonna do it to a 99-2010 RK. , since I really want a bike to ride single or solo but since I am 6'4" and 225-230lbs so I really don't fit well on a Dyna or softail, & I love hard bags. I bought a RK about in 2002, sold it for the Glide in 2010, but I want another one with a fat spoke 21 front, 18rear, some big sweet apes or really tall risers with dirt bars.. Pretty much meld the Vicla & Perf bikes into one as a sweet solo hopper.. Really would like an early carbed RK..
The best thing about this bike is all the imperfections. Maybe two wrongs don't make a right, but a thousand odd choices and beaten up parts apparently make a magnificent ride!
1985 Honda shadow vt1100 was the actual sleeper. Nicknamed the Harley killer. Amazing bike. But this bike over all is a great choice 110% just simply and factually the 85 vt1100 would sleep almost everyone’s stock bikes. Love the channel though 🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼💯
Damit Josh! you have got me wanting to put a Harley together again to add to my stable. Love the levers. I currently only have 2 bikes. I mean ladies and one is named Squirter and the other is Rash LOL. Great plug at the end for forgotten angels. I will give what I can.
Love the spiffed up Barf-Party..... but 1 look at just the little thumbnail pic and I can tell that FXR ain't no slouch. I don't think anyone is sleeping on that engine.
I remember when Barf first appeared on your channel and great to see back in rude health. Josh, maybe try and size up the yokes to a set of Showa dual bending forks like they used on big Honda CBs, 1300 and 1100, will be great for the FXR weight, adjustable, well damped and right way up for classic look 8) Prob find for a good price too $, best from Scotland, JB
Yeah supertrapp is definitely a performance muffler, I'm very impressed with my thunderheader though but I've definitely experienced the supertrapp performance.
I'm a day late on a comment. Yes TP is still in business. Yes they can still build a motor but are mainly a normal machine shop now. 124 show polished was more like 15grand in the early 2000s.
Are the roadkings really that different in handling from the heritage classics? I've owned two classics one with a carbed 88 and a 103 and I've always been told the roadkings are like night and day
But with alot of baggers you gotta replace or at least modify the swingarm to put anything over 13.5 or 14 inch shocks. I'm at 13.5 now and want more so it looks like I'll be getting a brocks swingarm soon
You do know most seat manufacturers make seats specifically for taller people. They aren't necessarily taller they are deeper. The step up is 2 inches further back. I have a la perra tail whip. It's offered in the taller configuration as well. Aluminum swing arm wieghts less. And the rigidity helps with handling. You won't see stock swing arms on any major teams king of the baggers... bikes.
Just put more discs in that super Trapp exhaust you can by those cheap may need longer bolts easily available at hardware stores. more discs makes it louder.
i know its not exactly the same but next time your in portland you can take out my piss missle dyna out to help you decide on a windshield height i have a 18" fxrt windshield with a recurve from clearview shields on my bike that puts the wind right above my head
I want that fairing for my FXR. I don't like the after market ones they look Plain. My 1st Harley has been my 88 FXLR and I've riden lots of other bikes and at the stealerships they want me to put my FXLR as a trade in and I can NOT and will NOT trade it in. At 1 point I had 2 FXRs, 96 FLH,and a crotch rocket. I gave my brother my 2nd FXR and I sold the rest and kept my 1st FXLR and I still have her. Just Love the simplicity of her and not all the sensors and vacuums and need to be an electrician to work on the new bikes. Long Live the FXR Nation!
Now that i think about it a little bit more, based off my history of watching your videos, I would say don't ride your dad force ones on that bike on that particular bike. Just get some regular boots without laces, your hair is short enough so that won't be a problem.
My neighbors got a newer Road Glide and he's got the upgraded motor and all that I'm pretty sure it's fully built internally I'm not completely up-to-date on my Harley knowledge. all I really know is he's running Thunder headers and exhaust two into one. it is the most loud and obnoxious bike I have ever heard a couple of his buddies have Dana Glides and fxrs with the same or similar exhaust and they all sound so bad. I don't live in a big city there's no need for I guess I could deal with it if he wasn't an asshole every morning first gear all the way down the street takes it to Red Line at 7:30 in the morning.
@landon1ify nope he's p.o.s and the sad part is we're into a lot of the same shit. he's just a douchebag so I have no interest in getting to know him or hanging out with them because everything is said to me has pretty much been a lie so at this point I have no respect for him.
I swear I heard that FXR talking to you', when you started it Up...really different from any other bike I ever heard....Wish I could pay the 25'bucks,,Yet I'm work'in on that....later', my dude...
Hellen Ga. The beginning of the Chattahoochee River. Songs been written about it and Ive spent a good part of my youngster days on that river. Supposed to be an Indian name meaning river if thunder and supposedly cursed it as the white man pushed them out. Curse says 7 people will die in that ruver every year. Thing is, 7 people have died in that river, every year for decades. For generations. True story. Check it out if you ever get bored.
Nightster baby. I'm sick of Harley's bloated whale bikes. It's easier to go fast and handle these old dinosaurs if they're LIGHT. I'm only 5'7 1/2" so even my Twinkie dyna is too bloated for me. Give me light n nimble.
It takes a lot of money to increase horsepower. One reason to buy a bike with the horsepower your happy with From the factory or similar how you bought your engine. Suspension mods and other mods way cheaper than buying a cheaper bike with less horsepower hoping to modify it later with more horsepower until you find out the cost.
I remember when you got barf party originally! At the time i remember thinking it was a loaner, and it was weird to see you on a harley. BTW, how does the banana-Pan-america stack up, speed wise?
