Some more terrible welding as I install the jockey shift for my chopper permanently. The bike is really starting to come together, stay tuned for more. Keep it weird y'all #shadetreearmy

Grinder and paint make a welder what he ain't
Your background music always reminds of an 1980s seniors workout video.
recub13 that explains the erection.
Big Bear Bonneville well done Sir , you win the interwebs today
I actually love that background music at the end of his videos, i don’t know why, but i do.

You need to get an old beer tap from the bar to use as a shift nob. That would look cool.
Dude the only way to learn to weld is to weld until your good at it.
iimpeccable craftsmanship skills, brother. Recycle the scrap metal that's lying around, angle grind it to fit, powder coat it to match .... perfect.
GIVE ME A HELL YEAH. Love watching this series and see you trial and error all of it until you get it done. Badass man
you are killing it. You have gone from Nicky-no-little to Danny-do-a lot. GOOD job man. This is a lot of fun to watch. keep it up.
Loving the skateboard wheel chain tensioner its beautiful nice job!!!!
I wanna ride it. Fine example of an Old school chopper. Very cool. Can't wait for the paint
Should thread it a little longer and.put a locking nut on the linkage so it doesn't unthread.
Well, I am one of the 10% non welder and I think that you are doing a great job, nice video, ride safe.
Anti theft shifter or the real man shifter
My man great work. I have been thinking of a jockey shift on my 03 Fatboy for years now and have never pulled the trigger. After watching this I might have to start saving for one now.
An ugly weld that holds is 100% better than a pretty weld that breaks.
I've never seen a pretty weld break. I have seen many many many ugly welds break.
@@julimariejulimarie4950 Lol yeah that's just something shitty welders tell themselves
Shadetree Surgeon, You did a good job. The XS 650 is truly your Motorcycle because you’re working on it.
Keep at it.
I enjoy screwing up sometimes, cause you have to get creative to fix it. As long as it isn't a catastrophic melt down, screwing up is as fun as fixing it. Keep up the Frankenstein bike projects.
Having your linkages closer to a 90 degree angle where they attach will make them more efficient. Guessing if you can rotate that bar that sticks straight up out of the worm gear clockwise and shorten up that clutch linkage, that might alleviate that deformation you were a little worried about in the last video. As it's hooked up now, a lot of the force is pushing up rather than being used to turn. My $.02
Dude, I Like it. Learn as you go. And it's good to have a friend that does know.
I look forward to you slogging through this every Sunday evening as much as I liked watching Disney as a kid!
BRO! A grinder and paint makes you the welder you aint! sweet ride
Excellent job!!! A weld is a weld ,no matter how ugly !!
Cool, can't believe how far it's come. It'll be fun to see it with a nice paint job.
I am not a welder. I know a welder. It isn't Shadetree. But it's got hold of it (mostly): 2mm of super high build extra thick GRP KEVLAR re-enforced paint and you are good to go.
The hand shift sounds good, foot operated clutch on a bike I'd have to get used-to. Keep them coming Shadetree :-)
You have inspired me. Thank you for lighting the Fire Again
Good shit man.. you have really been putting the time and money into the build! Its paying off! Looks great.
It's come a long way since the days you were worrying if you could even get it to start and run. Congrats on all the little wins. They add up to one wicked awesome little chop.
This comment made my day, thanks man :)
@@shadetreesurgeon NP. Calls 'em like I see 'em. 👍
if you get a gas bottle your welding will improve 100%
I really enjoy watching the progression of your chopper build. Thank you for posting.
Great job good work remember the most important thing is it's yours nobody else has one.
Glad that tac weld held, lol. Nice job.
Get yourself a full set of Powell swiss bearings and always keep a spare set with you when riding. I had a rigid ironhead with a skateboard wheel tensioner that I put thousands of miles on over 8yrs. The amount of revs that lil wheel is gona make is nothing compared with skating. I found cheap bearings don't hold up very long. I had that thing take a shit on me a few times over the road and it leaves you with shitloads of chain slap. The swiss bearings are a good investment and hold up well. Those skatewheel tensioners work killer as long as they keep workin. Ride safe brother!
Watching the progression of this build, your skills have definitely improved. Nice smooth tacks with the welder, good prep, nice drill press work.
Man I loved this series. I miss the days of just you and your bike. No hate on anything now. Just I still like watching old chopper episodes
Found your channel through "on yer bike" channel so glad they suggested you, great channel
Shadetree, if you need small metal or welding supplies in a pinch, Tractor Supply is pretty good. Open 7 days. I think Zephyrhills and Plant City are pretty close to you. Not a Yamaha fan. But I can really appreciate your effort and accomplishments. Glad to see a "regular" guy on the tube doing this. Been enjoying your vids, almost from the beginning.
Thanks for the tip Man! And I appreciate the support :)
Man, I LOVE what you’re doing with your channel, with your friends, and with this bike. Hell of a job, brother!
Favorite thing on the bike is the chain tensioner with the board wheel 🤟
you did the shifter linkage backwards when you shift is all going to be backwards. to make it correct take the foot shifter lever and have it face down. the the shifter patter will be correct. Bike is looking great.
"Sounds like a cow pissing on a rock." Haha, good call back Dylan.
Like other people have said here, I love the fact that you don’t hide the fuckups! This shit takes a few attempts.
Keep it weird!!
Looking good bro plus loving the 80s hold music👍👍👊
The Death 💀 Chopper is looking great 👍
Thanks dude!
Practice practice practice, that's what I dun to learn welding, great job by the way.
Love how clean bars get with foot clutch/hand shifter set ups!
I hope you are proud of this bike. It is really starting to look (and function) cool! Excellent work.
I beg to differ.
I'd say you're an Engineer.
Your doing remarkably well with this build!
Other than the part where you need a football field to turn around.....but that's the offset to having the rake.
Good job!!
"i am not gonna even thnk to drive this thing without properly welding it" then proceeds to go out twice and have a friend go without a helmet xD perfect!
Tight small swirls and some good concentration will give you a real nice bead. Also I wouldn’t recommend using a 6010 rod they tend to splatter allot. Try a 7018, it’s more used for structural welding where a 6010 rod would normally be used for pipe fitting and such. Both rods would be fine for what your doing but the 7018 would be the better choice. Good job on the welding, it takes time and concentration to get good at laying a nice bead down. Still waiting for you to ride that bike to North Alabama so a bunch of us can ride with you... Great work, keep it up...
Thanks for the tip Man!
I like a 6010 root for good penetration then a 7018 cap to make it look pretty and i run the 7018 a little hotter then normal to bring the impurities to the surface
Thought you might like to see this video of “The Whip”. He is running a suicide jockey shifter on his. th-cam.com/video/1c1iJXMMWDk/w-d-xo.html
Damn Josh, you've come a long way in this series! I'm super happy for you brother, this XS is so fucking bad ass you got me dying for a chopper project now! Keep kicking ass brother, don't ever change!
Yes sir!!! Coming together nicely.
Not only are you doing a lovely job on the bike, but that video was a joy to watch man. Theirs people making fortunes on this site who put in no effort, but, fuck em, your doing a great job.
Also, peta will be up your arse for mentioning whipping a horse, we all know they merely "encourage" them....
I appreciate the kind words man!!
@@shadetreesurgeon It's clear you love doing this, and you've a good eye for what your doing.
looking good mate and that chain tensioner is pretty cool dude. Good job
I've been watching you videos for a few months now and just wanted to say thanks for helping get the balls to get a bike
Glad I could help, congrats man!
The 650 is coming along great! Thanks for the hard work.
Best welder on the short bus.
I once made a bird house in shop class and the Housing Department condemned it.
😂😂😂
Now that's friggin' priceless.
Bro you are a beast that's a sick build don't matter what people says ... ain't nobody doin what you doin so..how do they know?
Josh, you PUSH MIG welders and pull arc welders. You'll be getting lots of spatter if you drag your MIG because the gas isn't covering the arc. Also grinding down the weld on the front weakened it so I'd suggest you run a couple more passes to add material; at least on wide pass.
Cheese, that metal rod is actually cheese that someone has painted silver :D Looks awesome man, loving that skateboard wheel :D
Looking better and better, can’t wait for the powder coat
Love those gloves man!!! 👌🏻
Great work! looks like a blast to ride.
Wow, loved this series.....
I just love your videos brother, they are educational and funny at the same time. Great to see this project moving ahead.......keep it up. Hugs from México.
Shadtree: “I don’t wanna go ham”
Also shadetree: goes ham
Lmao! Love the vids bro!!
Came for the music montages, stayed for the win.
Looking great!
Welds look fine. Sick bike.
Love your videos. Cheers from New Zealand.
When I first started welding I heated up parts on my stove top before I welded it. As long as your melting metal was the credo...........
South philly checking in. Beer tap or 8 ball would be cool !! Keep up the good work!!
Fear not Josh! I was raised on a farm and my welds prove it. They ain't pretty but they won't break!!
So what if I'm a grinder and not a welder, I'm not doing stainless with a TIG or body work for paint and everyone can kiss my fourth point of contact.
The Chopper builders of the 50s, 60s and 70s weren't that concerned about show ready, just rideability!
I'll pray it safe and functioning for you on all your rides. Take care young Man.
Hoka Hey
You are just flipping awesome!!!
*Josh attaches linkage rod.*
*Linkage rod bends.*
*Josh quotes Optimus Prime* "I thought you were made of sterner stuff."
LOL
YESSS
Frome riding a hardtail all the time, here's a tip, drop the air pressure in the back tire, 20-25psi is great for the ass... nice work..
No one died- good job :-)
Always a good milestone 😂
Damn it! I didn’t want it to end! Hahaha “My weld looks like a booger farm” 🤣
Right on, buddy! Looks better every time!
You should move the gas tank hole to the top of the tank. You can put more gas in it.
That is very cool. Great job!!
Getting cooler every episode
Thanks man!
Looks great you might want to do something with a different type of seat with some springs if you get a ride along way if you just running around the hood it’s not bad
Man that bike is coming along nicely..good job bro.
that little xs is looking pretty damn good, now i can imagine how great is gonna be that thriump of yours after this one, keep up the good work bro, practice is the only way how you can get better at welding, but so far so good you are making a great job.
Wow! Awesome job.
Thanks for sharing!! Nice work!
This looks awesome, this chopper is looking cool.
Gordian knot, very good reference lol
I think your doing a great job as fare as the Welding goes get more scrap and practice . I wish I could come there and help. Lol the wife and I did our rear brake yesterday it was a 6 hour pain in the ass but it's dun but I have to retention the belt I over tightened it. It's my first belt drive.
Awesome chain tensioner
Great job Josh! I always look forward to your progress with the XS650; even if I ride a cafe style. I know, I know, you hate cafe racers, but i just love the engine noise.
My welds aren’t pretty either but they do the job!
Its coming along great man
Badass. Well done!
Another great video you've got more balls than me trying it 👍 respect from england
Shadetree: "This is just tacked on, obviously I'm not going to ride it around until that's fully solid."
Also Shadetree: on the bike, "this is just tack welded on so obviously I'm not going to go HAM."
Fucking love it man!! You sir are making one gorgeous bike. Can not wait to see it after it is all said and done!
Cool shit. I have found myself looking forward to these updates. I think you got yourself something there good job man.
Love this build always look forward to seeing the next episode I know it's going to be bittersweet once your finished but then again its onto the fxr so that's going to be cool
Yea man one step closer. I'm pulling for you to make to Barbers. Hey that hot dont touch it
Wow man, that's so awesome!! Looks like you did a great job dude!!
