I don't thing I'll ever get used to seeing gigantic bolts like some of those shown, on a motorcycle, lol. In the previous installment, the Allen head socket cap screws holding the air cleaner backing plate to the cylinders alone, had me staring in amazement! Thank you for doing these. It's a known consistently enjoyable moment in time for me, each and every episode.
Thanks buddy, glad you're enjoying it, and yeah, although 19mm is pretty much where everything stops on a bike, there's always a few big scary ones here and there!
As ever great videos should come under AMSR for petrol heads love the sounds of the tools thats going to be a great bike when its completed just love this channel it really helps with the stresses of every day life keep up the great work and as always take care and ride safe
That's very kind of you to say Paul, we work hard on the post production so it's great to know it's appreciated... glad you're enjoying, have a great week!
Always frustrating when you find the one tool you don't already own is the one you need. Especially in this new normal era of supply chain troubles. The silver lining is you have a perfect excuse to get more tools and every mechanic knows you can NEVER have too many tools. 😁 Thanks Del and Penney for letting this retired mechanic tag along in the shop with you both.😊👍👍
Hi Rick, great to hear from you, and you're dead right, every mechanic's collection evolves through necessity, it's the very reason the Snap-On van rolls in to the yard every week!! It's actually quite a green way to do it, buying the tools you need as you need them, then you've got kit that's accurate for the work you do! Have a great week, and thanks for your kind support, D&Px
I really appreciate the amount of time it must have taken to set up each shot for every nut and bolt. And then editing all of it to put it together. Thanks for such a great series!
Brings to mind John Wetton in his Asia years singing " One step closer , much closer than we were " ... man he had smooth voice. Another of my heroes gone sadly . Good progress , here's to the rest of the journey . Someone ? once said , " All we have left to do is everything else " ! Peace and love brother 👍🏻☮❤
So far, so good. My dad taught me the same thing you are doing. To put parts back together in the order that they came off. So there is no guesswork. Well done brother. I'm really enjoying this series.
A feel-good video. Those lovey crisp sounds of ratchets working. The precise and competent removal of parts. Even the flow of the job. All of it enhanced by your video editing and cutting. Thank you.
I like the way you put groups of parts together (like the headstock) for easy spannering in the future. Pity the tool for the sprocket was late. Looking forward to another ingenious Del method. Günter from Nürnberg/Germany
Loving this new series Del and Penny, thankyou. I had one of these, a 2005 rubber mount basic 833 in black and they are one of the nicest bikes to ride, ideal for a learner. It amazes me all those little jobs that should be done regularly on a motorcycle for example cleaning and greasing the Jiffy Stand bolt or cleaning and painting the hidden areas of paintwork like the swing arm brace. They often get missed because they are out of sight or must be too difficult so don't even get thought about until they really need attention. Yet your video shows just how easy these jobs are especially when you have a good workshop bench. I have always thought how HD frame paintwork is the best in the business, thick and lustrous, yet it clearly does have its weaknesses if not kept up to date with.
Thanks for your kind words mate, yes it doesn't mater what coating you put over metal, anything you can name the moment it's breached by the tiniest stone chip, it will start to creep underneath unseen! Appreciate your kind support mate.
Hi Del The headstock bearings surprised me after just 10 years. Maybe they were overtightened in the past. Looks like you caught the swingarm area just in time to. Be interesting to see the chain & sprocket conversation. But damn just the one socket short. You must have been ready for a well earned brew after that lot. Well done for keeping to the schedule both! Looking forward to the next one already. 🇸🇪🇬🇧👋🏻😊
Hey Paul, good to hear from you, the bike's 2003, so almost 20yrs old and those headstock bearings were about what I expected for two decades, it's just wear and tear though and all part of the fun! Glad you're enjoying and we both thank you for your kind support, have a great week!
When your big socket arrives, don't just ask Penny to hit the starter button while you hang on to a six foot cracking bar - Although editing 'Del leaves by trebuchet' would be fun, it won't actually undo the nut . . . well, not that one anyway : )xx
Great video Del & Penny. Really enjoying this build mate, I think you got to that swingarm just in time. Penny and you have a great and safe week. Cheers
You right mate, that swingarm is just about the worst rust ive seen.. but it'll be ok thanks to being super thick steel.. Glad you're enjoying it too mate.. have a good week too. D&Px
Sweet vid, Del. This bike is going to really benefit from your methodical approach for sure. Looking forward to seeing the chain conversion. Not seen that done before. Hope you both are doing well!!! 🏍👍🏍
Cheers Gary, it's just about the most common mod on custom Harley building, just look at pictures of custom Harleys, they nearly always run a chain! Not only does it look way better, but it's way cheaper too and of course, stronger... all to come, been busy getting all the supplies! And thanks for asking about us, PP will email you soon!
Wow!!! More and more bare it’s getting!!! Are you gonna remember where the parts goes?? Which box you actually put it in?? Grin!! Penny will go back video find that missing part?? Lol…. That’s quite a project! I envy your work!!
Thanks buddy, it was way past time for a deep build, every single part is different so every bit only goes in one place! Nut by bolt it goes back together easy... plus the engine's done, so this is the easy bit! Glad you're enjoying, thanks for your kind support.
You stripped the engine, rebuilt it. Wouldn't it have been better to have taken it out when it was in parts and painted it. Then build it and put it back in. You also used assembly lube cause you said it was going to sit a long time without fluids, but immediately put oil in and started it up. I like the videos by the way and have learnt a fair bit regarding maintenance but this complete stripping is new to me and way over my head. Cheers Del.
I know at least here in the states you can rent odd parts like a giant socket from the DIY parts places (autozone etc) - they basically charge you the cost of the part and then credit it back when you return it. I would assume your the local shops of the same nature there probably have a similar tool rental program, at least worth checking into if that socket doesn't come in a reasonable amount of time ... (unless that's where you got it from, in which case, they probably don't have one to rent!)
Phew, it's arrived and I probably will use it again, plus I have a wide circle of mates with Harleys, so it'll serve others usefully too! Although not very often, it's still a service item to change your pulley at some point and great to have the tool if you need it !!
Awesome teardown video brother, looking forward in the future for the belt to chain conversion and to make a tool or something to remove that big sprocket ⚙️ 👍 more learning for me since my 04 Vulcan vn2000 is discontinued and belts are are almost $1000 😭 lol i dont need it now but you never know. Keep up the great work brother ! stay safe guys cheers from new york 🥂🍺
Sure thing brother, people don't realise the price of belts and pulleys (this one is shot, so needs replacing anyway), and a svelte gold chain will always look better! I can't be making a tool this time round, it's just a socket I need and you can't make those yourself, but it's a great addition as the same size nut's on all Harleys... take care and keep safe both, D&Px
I had a similar problem getting the nuts of my compensator and clutch on my softail. Luckily ,the garage I normally get to do all the work on my cars nicely lent me the sockets to do the job, other wise, I would have had to fork out. great video's.
Well now you’ve got me motivated to work on mine! I’ve got it up on the lift, got the engine running good, now I need to put on new tires and fix some wiring.
unless you get lucky you might regret taking the rear end apart. when I did a pulley swap it took a good impact with it in gear and me clamping down on the rear brake to get it loose.
The front pulley is shot, just like the back one, so it'll be going in the bin, which means i can grip hold of it with some killer grips and impact gun the nut on full power.... if that doesn't work first time, a little heat will usually get it.! Should be fun.!
Hey Tony, mate that's awesome news, and what a great choice! We can now be 'Dyna buddies' lol I guarantee you won't regret that decision and all power to your recovery mate... drop us a picture or two in the email if you get a chance, I'd love to see the bike.
This is a fascinating series! It's so interesting to see each bolt and part come apart. I can't imagine putting it all back-together properly, but it'll be interesting to see. You're looking well and fit... hope you're feeling well... Hi to Pen! :)
Thanks so much Byron, truly on the mend now, and in the care of awesome people! We're glad you're enjoying the project, lots more to come as this will be a long build, refurbishing each part before it can see the bike again.!
Love your job again. I have to admit that some parts on the HD are weirdly engineered. Oh one more thing to notice is the hand of the magician at 4.19. of the vid. Keep rocking guys 🙂
Ha ha.. i should have pulled a Dove out of the neck tube aye..lol! and yeah.. some very odd engineering that you don't see anywhere else..! two opposed taper bearings on the drive side of the swing arm, but nothing on the left?!
so I always look forward to your next videos and always enjoy watching them. Just wondering if the Harley will be a keeper for you as I've listened to some of the comments you've made and seeing the way your treating this project it seems a bit more personal than others that you've done. Love your videos and the contents are spot on ad usual👍👍. If I ever come into money will buy you some power tools and ratchet spanners. On second thoughts that would make your videos really short so I will scrap that idea 😂😂😂
Thank you Rob, I have been considering whether this one's for me, I'm just going to take my time and enjoy the project and think about it as it rolls along...! Whether I keep or sell them, is all dictated by budget, at some point I'll need the next project and I'll need a way to fund it... so only time will tell, but for now, I'd certainly like to keep it!
Great video Del, you are inspiring me, maybe I should strip down my 18 year old Road king this winter. Thanks for the vid, enjoyed mucho grando, cheers!
Go for it mate.. you'll learn things about it that you never would have otherwise..! just beware the parts bill though, it runs up like a squirrel up a tree of you're not careful!!
Great video Del. I know exactly how rust can make disassembly difficult. Hopefully it’s just surface rust on the swingarm. Can’t for the frame modifications.
... call me Hercules? You might have to call me an ambulance !! But I have a cunning plan and like with Kung Fu, technique wins over strength every time..... !!
question please curious what's the reason to change to chain and sprocket . and wow the state of them head stock bearing's scary to think how many bikes out there that may not have been properly maintained just like the swing arm i was like O.M.G .. great video .your channel is awsome team db
watching these parts come off, it's insane to see what each part is going to take to clean, prep and refurbish each component to a reasonable state. Tons and tons of work. Maybe an ultrasonic cleaner might help?
Yeah, i have a long journey ahead for sure, but one part at a time it will all come together. Ultrasonic treatment has it's place, it's fine for things like carbs, but much of this bike is heavily greasy and soiled, that's easy to clean with degreaser, the parts washer saves a lot of time, the rest is heavy corrosion and the grinder gets a grip of that on short fashion, and i can bead blast things too which was a great investment !! probably like you i have a wish list of equipment i could use, but tools and equipment investment gets prioritized aye !!
Interested to see what solution you come up with for holding the output sprocket in place. Maybe a strap wrench made with a shagged belt? Maybe just put it in gear and run the impact at full blast? Just kidding of course!
Great video, team DBG! Del, I'm sure you have ideas about how to remove that forward belt sprocket - it occurred to me that you could put the belt back on it and secure that somehow. I'm looking forward to seeing how you tackle it. Take care!
Thanks mate, the pulley nut will be no big drama, i can hold it still with a large pair of grips and turn the impact cut up to full power, that'll wizz it off im sure. !
hi del not saying much on this one just sitting back enjoying it you know me i like when its going back together anyhow easy dose it when your pulling that engine out big man atb iain

Why replace the belt with chain drive?
You choose... big fat ugly rubber belt and rusty pulleys... vs. ...svelte gold chain and black sprockets!! ... what d'ya reckon?!!!!
Thanks for asking that question, I was wondering the same thing. Now I know 👍
So far, so good. My dad taught me the same thing you are doing. To put parts back together in the order that they came off. So there is no guesswork. Well done brother. I'm really enjoying this series.

There is certainly some time involved in stripping the bike down - good estimate Del 👍

I used a oil filter strap wrench to hold the front pulley and an airgun to pull the nut off.
Great vid again Del, but why put a chain and sprockets on a nice dry belt drive ???
Loving this stripdown build Del hope you and pp are all good :-)

If you have an air impact driver you should be able to loosen the nut with the bike just being in gear.
now if you could do this to an 03 deuce that would be great hahaha. step by step disassemble video's
If ever there was a time for you to do a trike build now is it since the bike is down to bare frame lol
as usual great work del

Many thanks mate, we're glad you're enjoying it.
this one went by too fast! great work as always
Thanks mate!
Looks like the bike had a rough life!
Not much mileage.. but certainly lived outside that's for sure !
@@Moonfleet41 looking good... : - )
awesome as always......
Segurança e o Forte de todo trabalho,seja qual for à atividade realizada.
watching these parts come off, it's insane to see what each part is going to take to clean, prep and refurbish each component to a reasonable state. Tons and tons of work. Maybe an ultrasonic cleaner might help?
Yeah, i have a long journey ahead for sure, but one part at a time it will all come together. Ultrasonic treatment has it's place, it's fine for things like carbs, but much of this bike is heavily greasy and soiled, that's easy to clean with degreaser, the parts washer saves a lot of time, the rest is heavy corrosion and the grinder gets a grip of that on short fashion, and i can bead blast things too which was a great investment !! probably like you i have a wish list of equipment i could use, but tools and equipment investment gets prioritized aye !!
Interested to see what solution you come up with for holding the output sprocket in place. Maybe a strap wrench made with a shagged belt? Maybe just put it in gear and run the impact at full blast? Just kidding of course!
I will probably use the belt in some creative way!... but yeah, you're right, I don't think I'd ever use the gears to hold it still!!
Getting there
Great video, team DBG! Del, I'm sure you have ideas about how to remove that forward belt sprocket - it occurred to me that you could put the belt back on it and secure that somehow. I'm looking forward to seeing how you tackle it. Take care!
Thanks mate, the pulley nut will be no big drama, i can hold it still with a large pair of grips and turn the impact cut up to full power, that'll wizz it off im sure. !
Today I was the 9th person to like this video. I'm usually in the first five. Old age must be slowing you down. CRAP!!
Ha ha, i know how you feel Jim.. but slow and steady wins the race aye mate!?
Wait wait wait, hold up, what happened to need a tool make a tool ?
hi del not saying much on this one just sitting back enjoying it you know me i like when its going back together anyhow easy dose it when your pulling that engine out big man atb iain
Thanks Iain, slow and steady progress mate!
Looking forward to seeing the frame mod you mentioned.:-)
Replacing the belt for chain and sprockets going old school then👍👍
