Doc Harley is a really sincere guy. What I like about him is that he's always willing spend a little time to refer the customer to a specialist supplier when the need arises. If he can't help you, he won't hinder you. A man of good virtues.
who noticed the blue FXRT had a fatvo evo lower/TC top end in it ????
Way to Go Guys, Kevin we've never met, but back in the 2000s i was a Service Writer and then Shop Dispatcher and Warranty Manager at Low Country HD, i was there for the Move from the old building to the one you were in, and i worked at Phil's North Myrtle beach store for the Rallies as acting service manager, in 07 i left to become a fulltime service manager for a dealer in western mass, due to some health issues i'm now retired, but unlike you and Mike (DOC) i was never a Tech, i was and became a manager cause i was good with hours and money, so i always looked to guys like you two for advice when my technical knowledge was lacking , Now Retired i am a huge Fan of BOTH of your You Tube Channels and it's GREAT to see you together, and it's cool to see you at a dealership i helped build literally the 2 bikes spinning around in the Silo a former Low Country Service manager Jeff and i Built from spare parts in the warehouse, so it's fun for me to see the old dealership and 2 of my favorite you tubers at it........Great Video
Thank you sir!!! Appreciate it!
Well done Gents! I'm a humble little motorcycle repair shop owner and I truly appreciate both of you for doing this! I often look you both up for guidance (almost weekly), HUGE help! Look forward to seeing more of the duo! Thanks a million from Grand Ledge, MI.

I remember seeing Willie G on the side of the road in Northern California in the 1970's. He was watching the bikes and getting ideas from rally attendees.
Good show!
two cool guys right there!!😎
Thanks for the great video from my two favorite Harley guys! Love to see you guys working together!
Great stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks ! Enjoyed every minute !
You are our heroes, both of you. Regards from a rider from South Europe.
My two favorite go-to guys for accurate, detailed info that helps me keep my own Harleys running! Kevin is the mechanic I wish I was but strive hard to be. He makes jobs that are way over my head look so easy! Doc is also good although usually sticks with the MoCo line. I rarely am seen at a Dealership once the break in service is done. Around here at last, the service departments have totally priced themselves out of earning my business. If it's something I can learn to do myself, I do it myself. I do have an independent shop that I've used for years but the owner passed away a few years ago (on his way to Sturgis). His kiddo took over the biz and is an ok tech but not the mechanic his Dad was. Finding a shop that you trust with your life is not always so easy.
2 of my favorite engineer and technicians! I’ve learned a lot by watching you and working on my bike!
Thank you Kevin and Doc , two passionate professionals doing what they love ..Lifes good ..👍🏻🇦🇺
Thanks Gasmann!
Now Baxter is amazing wish we had him in ever shop!!! Meticulous and demands spot on performance!! Harley needs him in development making these damn machines be reliable and meet specs!!!!
Wish I could get my bike rebuilt by him!!
Great respect
Thanks for the kind words Ashe. Respect sir!
I have been watching both of your channels for quite a while.
Fantastic Gentlemen! Loved it.
You guys remind me of my son the Chef. Life for him is creating something to please others.
2 legends talking about bikes. Awesome video guys
I enjoy watching both of your TH-cam videos, great video and look forward to more of them. Thank you.
What a great presentation, simply outstanding. Thanks!
I watch each one of your channels. Never dreamed you would get together and talk like you are here. it is fantastic to see you guys talking and your perspectives from different point of view. It’s great to see you guys together.
Great show. Can't wait for the next one
Two great minds come together, These guys are the best.
You guys are my top 2 favorites on TH-cam. This is awesome to see
This is cool, really enjoy seeing two of my favorite you tubers collaborating.
Two of my favorite folks!! Rock on brothers!
So cool to see two of the best together sharing their stories!
Can't wait for new episodes. Man you guys are great. Thank you both for your knowledge and insight. From one motorcycle enthusiasts who lives and breathes motorcycles please please keep up the great work!
I watch Doc Harley all the time.
Great video from two people I admire very much, I enjoy your information on Harley Davidson motorcycles and engines.
Wow, 2 of my favorite Harley channels together. Awesome!! Can't wait for the next one!
Two of my favorite channels doing a collaboration video. Great idea, and I hope this isn't the last time.
Doc - you were a great help to me when I lived in the Beaufort area, it was always a beautiful ride up Hwy 17 to your shop. Kevin, thanks for sharing your knowledge. The two of you make a great team. I look forward to the upcoming videos.
so great to see the two of you together. AWESOME job.
Came here from Doc Harley,,,,this is my comment to him........This is great, As a 35 year Automotive parts dealer veteran I have always kept a good working relationship with the independents, they buy parts from me, I feed them info it's a business relationship that works and sometimes flows over into a personal friendship. I'll go check out Kevin's channel now as I have apparently been living under a rock
So happy this happened, I’ll just wait for you to build a bike together now.
Kevin and Doc what a nice conversation.
I definitely agree about your observations about bicycles and motorcycles going hand in hand.
Cheers
Very good show Kevin!! I have been watching Doc Harley for a couple of years. Just as I have been watching you for a couple of years.
Great to see 2 of my favourite tech experts collaborating together.
Kevin crushed the opening 😆
Thanks Doc... Thanks Kevin, much appreciated.
Thanks Guys for anything regarding Harley Davidson . I Grew up so poor ,I had to build my first Bicycle from scraps One Thing i know when The desire to have something ,You wild build it if you want it That Bad , Middle of nowhere ,Hillclimbing on what you Brung ,old BMW Husky Hodaka , a Ducati 250 ,I fixed Them ,We laughed at an old neighbor who kept a couple Harleys ,nucks or Pans ,until one Day he let me ride a knuckle He started it I Rode it on a Dirt Roar I might have weighed 90 Lb. But i was so excited that i turned it around and Came back without a Problem . I was Ruined ,I am getting old and I have an evo ,and a Twin Cam 2011 Flstf FatBoy 5,000 Miles .But I also keep a shovel at my sons House Because Potato Potato ,I can not Help Myself ?I will not ever get an 8 ,Because I am addicted to the Sound . You Guys Have much knowledge I. In 1963 i used to keep my Distributor hand tight ,so i could turn the timing down ,Not knowing That to get that potato idle i was not oiling anything , But i know More than i did ? The Good is i wallowed in self pity , Having to build my toys,End of Story in 1970 ,I got Hired in a factory and For 34 Years i worked on German & Italian Machines all Metric ,But I made more money than 90% of ny Friends who went to college ,they went to college I went to The Army ,But all that self Pity led to a Being a Senior Fabrication Technician all The training free . That is America .God Bless .
Great compilation video! I love and watch both of you guys!!
Love it guys, your both the best....keep it going strong! 💪👍
I got almost 20 years in the business. I totally get it! Spent the first 6 years of my career in a dealer getting my master of technology when I was 25. Spent the next 8 years in am aftermarket shop that did lots of motor work and Dyno tuning ect. It was a different world! I have been back at a dealer for a number of years now. Definitely lots to learn from both sides!
I am not the kind of person to see a twenty minute video, but you guys made me do it!!! "TREMENDO" Gby... 🙃
Awsome job by two of the greatest in the world of motorcycling!
Kudos to you both! THANK YOU!
This is GREAT, Mike!
Excellent content from 2 very professional guys ,always very valuable information
This is just awesome! Two greats coming together!
Please do a engine tear down of a TC88 together ❤❤❤
My two favorite tecks learn lots from both take care Thanks 👍
Very cool video! Much respect 🙏 👏
Even is you do not own a Bike, you can learn a lot watching these two men. Thanks for sharing and all your time doing your shows
I thought this was going to be a one-and-done video. Pumped to see that you are making this a four-part series.
Great to see you guys together!😎
I messaged Doc H. to say how good this collaboration was and look forward to more. Good onya.
Thank you sir!
You guys are great. Both of you have helped me so much on maintenance and knowledge of my scooter. Thanks for the video.
Thank u both
Thank U both for the time U took to make the post. Kevin I still want a build from U . I wish U sold bikes..
My two favorite mechanics! Great video guys.
Great video guys you are both respected in the Harley world , I watch both of you and learn so much keep making more videos, it's great to hear both sides of the spectrum
Great video 👍
Looking forward to the next one.
Those toy motorcycles on the shelf behind them look so good.
Enjoyed that chat Doc.,awesome.
Ride safe from Sydney Australia 🤘
Really enjoyed this. Good dealership’s and good independents 👍🏻
two experts and great information thanks
Absolutely loved this. Looking forward to more.
Is this neat or what !?!?! Way to go guys !
One of the better videos to date...kudos to you both!
Keep it up I enjoy learning from both of you
Well done gentleman very well done.
Fantastic video, the greatest tech reunited, thank you !
So very interesting and I believe the first video I've ever seen between dealer and aftermarket/independent. I watch all the videos and I have learned. Example, I watched a Doc Harley video on jiffy stands and rolling . My Duece used to scare the crap out of me looking like it was going to roll forward sometimes?? So on my 14 Streetglide I checked the bolt good and tight BUT when I checked the Deuce that sucker was loose!!!!. So that video was obviously an eye opener.
Great idea for this video & for you two to make it happen! I'm excited for future episodes!
TWO THUMBS UP!
👍 👍 Love watching the two of you get together on the same video! Looking forward to the next one!
This was fantastic!! Many thx gentlemen!
LOVE this!! Thank you both for putting this together...
It may be a few months before I can get out and ride... (brrrrrr winter sucks) so I hope you can do a BUNCH more of these!
From a guy up north (Ontario, Canada) that follows both of your TH-cam channels I must say the both of you are a very Class Act and the real deal. I have a great relationship with my HD Dealer but also rely heavily on my local Indy when wrenching/building my rides. Keep up the great work. P.s. you both have provided exceptional support (via your videos) during my wrenching. Life is good 👍🏻
Excellent, can’t wait for the next one ❤
Great video!!!!! , Much Respect for the both of you...
2 great Channels!
This is the video I’ve wanted thanks guys
What a great vid .. Cheers👍
Kudos to you both.🙂
Best of both worlds!
Great to watch and listen.
I’m watching each of you on your TH-cam channel for years.
When you love to ride your Harley-Davidson and you want ‘further’ on it.(standard or putting out the highest power)
Love it!
WOW, love you guys. Your experience and knowledge is awesome. I'm thrilled that you do this for a living and still love what you do.
Nice to see two of my favorite gurus collaborating.
Awesome guys that’s the way it should be like great work brothers 😎
Hey, my 83 shovel has been pretty reliable. Common sense maintenance and she's still on the road. Long roads to boot. No regrets.
Sub to both these guys for a long time, to see them both together is just mind blowing. Very nice fellas
Kevin Baxter + Doc Harley… awsome. Thanks
I follow both you guys on TH-cam and have for a while. I have really no mechanic skills but have had a passion for motorcycles for decades and enjoy listening and watching all the clips. I’m retiring from the law enforcement profession in about 2 1/2 years, with hopes to have Baxter’s Garage do a complete rebuild on my 2014 Ultra. Enjoy listening to this ‘meeting of the minds’ clip. Keep up the great work, gentlemen … you guys rock !!!
Good video from both of you
Well done Guys!
How cool is this?!! I enjoyed this very much. Gentlemen as always and passionate delivery of accurate information. Thank you both.
Nice one guys, glad you cleared the air instead of letting punches fly! The both of you definitely make a killer combo. Can't wait for the next one, sounds very interesting. ✌❤
I always wondered if you two knew of each other. I watch you both and you both give great information. Thanks.
great idea and great video guys. very much enjoyed seeing you both at the same time LOL!!! Thank you both and looking forward to many, many more videos.
Thank you both for all you do for the bike community, Two of the best on TH-cam and
I would be willing to bet as quality individuals in person as well
Makes so much sense you two working together, how fortunate we are as viewers
Look forward to more of your years of experience and knowledge
Thanks again
