Every time Billy drops one of these simple og build videos its a good day, kinda half info and half meditation with my favorite harly guru. Love this evo fatboy too.
Absolutely correct he was kind enough too respond to a comment of mine just that he took the time was great but his words were so heart felt it really made my day so yes he is a great guy 💪🔥🐐and the GOAT 🐐💪🔥
Thank you for that. I laugh when someone says I was not cool with them. It's rarely happened in 35+ years. I got into this business for people, years ago, long before there was any money to be had.
As a young guy watching you on the Biker Build off shows, I thought you were a cool metal fabricator/designer. Now, I really appreciate your expertise as a mechanic and rebuilder. You can do it all! Great video for us layman.
Thank you. I started as a mechanic, and started to fabricate and customize because I could not afford to pay someone to do it for me. But the mechanic has always been there.
Excellent video Billy, you make it look so easy. Would that cam work with a stock motor, if so do you think it would be available for a Shovelhead. Again love the videos. Thanks
Since I was a teenager, I loved to watch Billy's creations. He has been one of my inspirations to maintain a life of turning wrenches. Circa 2008 I was privileged to remove and work on a Typhoon carb that Jesse James put on the 50th anniversary Monster Garage chop with a 127 CI motor. He had his mentors do the build while he made the gas tank out of copper. The bike was my wallpaper for 66 weeks at MMI. I walked into New Orleans Harley Davidson and there the bike sat. Still blows my mind when I think about it. I had to hide my eyes behind my Ray Bans the day that it sold. Mr. Lane Keep on rocking and please keep sharing!
Thanks for being here, and for the good comments. What was gong on early 2000's drew a lot of people into the H-D service industry. The Typhoon, on a 127, definitely requires a ThunderJet for high rpm tuning. It's really just a glorified SU. Indian Larry told me, "SU is the first two letters of the word, "sucks'", in his Brooklyn accent with a laugh.
@@BillyLaneChoppers I was able to meet and establish communications with Paul regarding a custom seat but unfortunately, I never met Indian Larry. Thank you for the response, I will continue to be here and hopefully get a chance to meet or see you race one day.
I'm always learning, trying to become better at this. I'm humble, not the best, but I know I wouldn't have survived almost four decades in this cut-throat business if I wasn't good. Thank you for the comment.
22 minutes and 38 seconds to change slugs jugs and cams...luv it. Really wish it was that fast and easy. Great step by step. Cheers Paul from Australia
Damn Billy another add on to that Dope build, it's Crazy to think 20 years later this month Indian Larry left us and you still have some of his sick parts on your builds. I said in a previous video we are getting old, but it still takes me back to your TV days, it sure makes my day to see you wrenching on these old Scooters!!! It really comes down to how you make people feel when they watch your videos, and at the end of the day that's what matters. 🤘FTW🖕
Real nice setup...I remember Carl's Speed shop "Typhoon" carbs...Those performance parts with that exhaust must run really nice...Great vid! Thanks Mr. Lane...The great ones make it look easy.😎
I run Carl's cams in my sporty motor. After several phone calls to him he actually gave me a hint on how to time them because he didn't put any timing marks on them. Racers hate giving away secrets. By the way let me know if you ever feel like helping a guy out on a sporty when you get to Tennessee...
Does Carl's have a new location? Last I seen and heard he was permanently closed, but I agree. As a drag racer, tuner, and builder I don't give away notta unless I know you...
He seemed grouchy, but was always willing to help and share information. I’ve got four kids, so time away from work & family is limited. I don’t ride for “fun”, only as a daily work commute. But my kids are worth the sacrifice
Hey Billy thank you for this episode again you explain everything so well short and to the point this build is so good…if you can find that Chopper Build Off clip when you were riding your new build and you hit a big pothole and you took it like a boss I think people would love to see it ill never forget it mate take care from a big Aussie fan 🇦🇺🛠🔧🔥
Here is the link. Thank you for watching. Australia is on my short-list of places to visit soon. th-cam.com/video/DQrNqgcql-w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sNEZRkCZbEp6MQ7m
Thanks, Billy for the reply and link it's such an incredible story and if you do come down here you have to visit where I live the city of Adelaide South Australia and no shit our little city has just been voted the most beautiful city in the world we definitely grow the best wine’s in the world and the Fringe Festival is really cool as well so there's a couple of great reasons to come visit 🇦🇺🇺🇸👍🏻
I made similar tools as for the cam bearing for holes down to 1/8". I cut slots and pre bent the tool slightly. Easy to insert and nice to use with a pulling hammer.
I prefer to make my tools, but bought this one for my BadBoy a few years ago because I was in a mad rush to get the bike done so I didn't have to drive my truck.
I’m always amazed not only how many cool ass Indian Larry/ 90’s parts you have, but that you can even remember you have them let alone find them packed away. I’m also half embarrassed and half pissed off about the cut Allen key and wrench trick. Why did I not think of that before? So much frustration and fuggin around when I could have just done that. Haha
Outstanding video Billy, great to watch with so must excellent info. I just love the evo fatboy, I will never sell mine. Appreciate you taking the time to share, ride safe. Cheers
BILLY I gotta have that bike hook a bro up remember me I asked you awhile back for a Coddington swing arm for my twin cam FLSTF but heck just sell the worlds fastest fatboy or the bad boy .with all due respect those two bikes are so badass .and you’re absolutely correct my friend “everyday is a blessing “
Thank you. I enjoy finding the rare, obsolete parts that I couldn't afford when they were new to market. All of the horsepower parts in this video cost me less than $2K for a 25+hp gain. The carb was definitely an indulgence, but you never see them suck air & fuel- it's more common to see them bought & sold.
@@BillyLaneChoppers We watched you all the time on the Chopper builds. We didn’t know you helped start those. Like the videos you been posting learn a lot from them. Thank you
Stuff an S&S 124" crate in it and call it a day, then do a Baker upgrade trans. video a week later when the stock innards crap the bed lol. Good stuff Billy, nice to see you're doing well and as always a genuine bike guy.
This engine will last 100K miles run hard like this. The problem with 124 is, it will destroy the starter, the clutches won’t hold, & it will break the belt.
@@stuartheaydon-lc6qe Thank you for watching & Sharing. I’ve been all over the world, but never to your country. It’s on my list to visit & ride all over Australia
Billy, great video as always and always informative... I run and S&S EVO and I get my custom drag car cylinder heads from RFD and I sent my S&S Super Stock heads pver there and they did a little work on them, and it helped. I have the S&S Super G and I tuned that and im thinking of putting a thunder jet on it now. The cam I put in it is an Andrews EV81 Cam, and the pistions I went to buttons instead of snap rings.. I kept it chain drive because it's a torque monster. The jugs and cases are S&S. The trans is a 5 speed Baker. Gold Finger built the bike originally and I had to go over the who thing.
I know these SS heads can be improved, but I’m only running a medium cam & want street riding ability. I have bigger cam options, & can gain 5-10hp right there, but it’s plenty powerful now- @80hp. Big jump from 55hp
@@BillyLaneChoppers I agree! I was just rambling about what I had done to mine while listening. This bike I wish I would've went with the smaller EV72 cam so it's more street friendly.
They're not fun to ride with the bigger cams. Those bigger cams, for the 80" engine are only really good for wide-open antics. I don't street race. I just, sometimes, need to pull out into heavy traffic quickly, or pass a truck on the highway. Enjoy your EVO. In my opinion, EVO is the last line of the true Harley-Davidson DNA.
So cool, thanks for sharing on another of your latest builds. That exhaust, and carburetor look great on there. Love all the little details you put into it. I look forward to seeing more, and can't wait to do more to my bikes.
Hey Lee. I’m in to all the vintage late 90’s early 2000’s parts. Found the breathers used, I thought they were yours- someone assured me they were Doherty. But, they’re great on this one. I hope you are well. Thanks for watching.
@@BillyLaneChoppers No they are 100% mine, and makes me real happy that a master such as yourself is using them. These were among the first parts I created. They were knocked off so many times it was crazy. Great video man. Keep them coming.
Thank you. I paid $4K for this FatBoy, which is why I made these videos. I'm trying to show that you can own a really nice Harley-Davidson for very low money.
@BillyLaneChoppers I've kinda been toying with that idea as well. The wheels are so iconic but........ well, keep us updated, man. Thanks for putting these out. I know it's a lot of work.
Looks and sounds ace Billy. I loved how you never showed us the struggle with the rear rocker box assembly. Just done similar on my 94 bad boy and it’s a bitch to get out…
You know, it’s ridiculous how difficult it is to get that in & out. & it’s really hard to see everything with the camera. Honestly, it would add ten plus minutes to the video, and 45 minutes of editing. I’ll probably do a special video about how exactly the rear Softail EVO rocker box is removed & replaced.
@@BillyLaneChoppers 100% I was scratching my head thinking wtf, had a few beers and as if by magic it riggled out of there. Be great to see you show us how though 👍🏻
I’m surprised to see you put the stock breather gear back in . Not questioning you , I changed mine out years ago when crammed mine. What are you doing with the stock heads ? Great video , it’s like going back in time.
@@BillyLaneChoppers Im sure it does brother ! Used to ridin my 96" stroker rigid all my younger years but back problems made me buy the fatty n yeah, its slow in stock form with only 8k miles on it ! BUT its pretty ! lol
@@BillyLaneChoppers thank you sir thanks for reaching out been a fan of yours since I saw your hub less wheel debut I was probably about 16 years old keep up the great work
back in the late 60s early 70s the big carb conversion was an SU from a Jag. $5 at the local junkyard lol. Only problem was the top of the pot interfering with the tank
Damn brother. That thing is hittin hard ! Hell yeah. Hey Mr Billy. Where do I find a air intake cover like your s&s cover that you took off. That Boyd's swing arm is og
The Boyd's swingarms are pure art, designed by Little John Buttera for Boyd. Jesse James ran the CNC milling machine that made them. The S&S air horns are really hard to find. I had one from years ago, and sand cast several for myself. I made the one I took off.
I pretty much had everything there, minus Typhoon, but had the forward swept Mikuni 42, 30yrs ago. I should have kept all that stuff. I ran the EV72 cam…she didnt like it. Prob should have gone 1 smaller like you.
The Andrews EV72 is almost Identical to the S&S 562. Lift is the same, timing is very close, but my cam has a few more degrees of duration. Your Mikuni was too small for that setup. You needed a 45mm carb for those heads, for sure. The 45-degree twin is severely flow-limited, and the worst thing you can do to it is to choke off flow at the carburetor. The Typhoon is a lot of carb, but my arrangement here is just enough for that big feeder.
Makes sense, it was so hard dialing bike (96 Heritage) in, never right. Dig through garage…just found NOS Drag Specialties DS-391357 flush tank bolt kit…my donation if you want :)
The carb is enormous on the outside, equivalent to S&S Super G on the inside. There is only ONE jet in the constant-velocity carb, and the big piston inside regulates the venturi size.
@BillyLaneChoppers That fatboy really sounds healthy with that carb, heads, cam, and exhaust combo. Those indian larry collars were a great touch also. A legend paying respect to a legend good on you billy that's real class right there!
@@BillyLaneChoppers of course you know the soft side will collapse if you drive it in from that side and will destroy the needles. By the way Billy, have you ever been to the thunder beach event at Panama City Beach?
Pro tip if you do NOT have the instructions for the pushrods. . Before installing them.. screw 1 all the way in and measure with a dial indicator or calipers from tip to body WITH lock nut , the turn out untill you measure .100". Now mark your tip or body and count the number of rotations untill full compressed. Your welcome.
Thank you. This is how I did mine. I don't show every step because I assume that most viewers who are going to try this are not going to use the same brand pushrods as mine, will not have dial indicator- but will read the instructions that come with their pushrods. Did I mention that I would like to thank you?

Nothing sounds as good as a Cammed Evo for those of us in the younger crowd . Simple straight forward to do . May install a cam in my 96 this winter .
Know that's right!!

Keep it comin Billy..probably gonna copy ur homework for my 99 sinister blue Fatty ! 😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice. The HP upgrades make it alot more fun to ride
@@BillyLaneChoppers Im sure it does brother ! Used to ridin my 96" stroker rigid all my younger years but back problems made me buy the fatty n yeah, its slow in stock form with only 8k miles on it ! BUT its pretty ! lol
My favorite bike, had one loved it
I’m falling in love with this one
@@BillyLaneChoppers No doubt brother
That's gotta be one of the coolest Fat Boys out there.
Thank you. I’m changing the wheels soon, then it will really look good
😂 So much mechanical sound just f****** awesome
The roller rockers are so quiet, you can just hear the carb thump to the intake pulse
Choppers Inc. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks Mr. Bill
I enjoyed doing this
That bike is Freakin badass!!👍
Wait until I change the wheels. Thank you
@@BillyLaneChoppers I need that Fat Boy exhaust you made for my 97 evo! Could you make me one??
Great video been looking for a good evo engine build video
I did another a couple of years ago, watch “World’s Baddest BadBoy”, similar job- but done using Screamin Eagle Heads.
@@BillyLaneChoppers thank you sir thanks for reaching out been a fan of yours since I saw your hub less wheel debut I was probably about 16 years old keep up the great work
back in the late 60s early 70s the big carb conversion was an SU from a Jag. $5 at the local junkyard lol. Only problem was the top of the pot interfering with the tank
@@tschr979 I’ve run a bunch of SU carbs, & love them. The Typhoon is nothing more than a billet SU, it’s designed exactly like the SU
👍👍🍺 really good build series,
Glad you like it, thanks
Dig that vintage Snap On torque-O-Meter!
I’ve had it for 30 years
21:49 Indian Larry brass floorboards 😍
One of a kind, like the man himself
So Cool bro....Hoorah🦁☠
Hoorah!
Damn brother. That thing is hittin hard ! Hell yeah. Hey Mr Billy. Where do I find a air intake cover like your s&s cover that you took off. That Boyd's swing arm is og
The Boyd's swingarms are pure art, designed by Little John Buttera for Boyd. Jesse James ran the CNC milling machine that made them. The S&S air horns are really hard to find. I had one from years ago, and sand cast several for myself. I made the one I took off.
One of the best to build bikes
Very nice, thank you
Holy shit Billy! That thing is a monster! Put a 280mm rear tire on that beast!
NOOOO! I have several full customs. What I love about this is that it is a modified stock Harley-Davidson that is affordable to almost anyone.
I love these videos
I enjoy making them, thank you
I pretty much had everything there, minus Typhoon, but had the forward swept Mikuni 42, 30yrs ago. I should have kept all that stuff. I ran the EV72 cam…she didnt like it. Prob should have gone 1 smaller like you.
The Andrews EV72 is almost Identical to the S&S 562. Lift is the same, timing is very close, but my cam has a few more degrees of duration. Your Mikuni was too small for that setup. You needed a 45mm carb for those heads, for sure. The 45-degree twin is severely flow-limited, and the worst thing you can do to it is to choke off flow at the carburetor. The Typhoon is a lot of carb, but my arrangement here is just enough for that big feeder.
Makes sense, it was so hard dialing bike (96 Heritage) in, never right. Dig through garage…just found NOS Drag Specialties DS-391357 flush tank bolt kit…my donation if you want :)
What kind of breather bolt/catch cans are those? Those look dope af!!!🔥🔥🔥
These are vintage Doherty Machine breathers, scored on eBay.
Thank you Billy!! Your Fatboy is badass!! Stay safe and have a nice day!!🤘😎🤘
Thanks, great ride home tonight
@@BillyLaneChoppers Hell yeah!!
You, Jesse James, and Indian Larry are my favorite bike builders!!
Awesome video, great job! Thanks for sharing
I appreciate you watching
🏍️ SALUTE BILLY 🏍️ W / R 🏍️
Sounds good. GREAT VIDEO MAN
Thank You
Thats a big hole hanging off the side of that engine i imagine the torque is up there. Evos can make some big power with just few upgrades.
The carb is enormous on the outside, equivalent to S&S Super G on the inside. There is only ONE jet in the constant-velocity carb, and the big piston inside regulates the venturi size.
@BillyLaneChoppers That fatboy really sounds healthy with that carb, heads, cam, and exhaust combo. Those indian larry collars were a great touch also. A legend paying respect to a legend good on you billy that's real class right there!
Did you mention to be sure to install the cam bearing with soft side in and hard side with numbers out?
No, I did not.
@@BillyLaneChoppers of course you know the soft side will collapse if you drive it in from that side and will destroy the needles. By the way Billy, have you ever been to the thunder beach event at Panama City Beach?
I like your videos
I love making them, thank you
Pro tip if you do NOT have the instructions for the pushrods. . Before installing them.. screw 1 all the way in and measure with a dial indicator or calipers from tip to body WITH lock nut , the turn out untill you measure .100". Now mark your tip or body and count the number of rotations untill full compressed. Your welcome.
Thank you. This is how I did mine. I don't show every step because I assume that most viewers who are going to try this are not going to use the same brand pushrods as mine, will not have dial indicator- but will read the instructions that come with their pushrods. Did I mention that I would like to thank you?
AMAZING!!!! 🤘😎🥃🍻🔥
Thanks!!
@BillyLaneChoppers hey Billy you still building choppers?
Sounds crispy like a buell
It’s definitely strong, those heads, pistons, & cam increase hp by 50%
love what you did with the pipes have you done any cryogenic treating of internals ? its amazing how it effects the crank and rods .
Lovely mr lane
Thank you
