Repairing the 2023 Daytona Bike Week crash damage to my 1946 Harley-Davidson WR 45” racer, swapping the springer fork for a hydraulic, paint tips, tricks, & wheelies.

I've been following Billy Lane since Biker Build-Off it's great to see how far he came
You’re a good teacher. The more mechanical tutorials, the better.
The 100k subscriber milestone is right around the corner, and well deserved.
Thank you so much for watching & enjoying my videos.
Thank you for the compliment. Crazy fact from TH-cam analytics is that 83% of my views originate from outside my subscriber base. That’s been consistent since I started uploading here.
@@BillyLaneChoppers You’re welcome.
That’s wild. They need to subscribe. Perhaps a gentle reminder at the end of the videos won’t hurt, whether it’s verbal or just pointing at a “Subcribe” sign at the end. It’s not begging, it’s reminding.
And thanks for the ugly shovel series. It motivated me to go out and buy another shovel, a fixer upper project that was in a shed for nearly 25 years. It’s an 84 fx (chain final drive) and I should be riding it soon. It’s already painted in flames though, so I won’t have to set the tins on fire ;)
And thanks again for the great content.
Thanks Billy for taking time out of your life and making videos for us. They are appreciated!
Thank you for taking your own time to watch them, good to have you here
Yes Sir,,,Passing the skill and love of Bike building to the next generation. I hope you know the gift you are giving.
I sir really salute you, as it has been my love since I turned 20 in Berdoo in the Air Force. Now 76 and still have a shovel hardtail....Plus 3 more Harleys. None that have a stinking computer....Oh you lucky Dog I saw those two Pans in the background ! Thanks for the invite to Nashville.
As an old timer, I Appreciate You for maintaining & sharing old world iron Alive.
Your journey is nothing short of Amazing...started out as BillyBadAss, & evolved into Dr.Billy Lane PhD the mad scientist with a love for Milwaukee Iron via tropical 🍹 paradise FL.
Blessings to you, & your family.
As a 62 year old disabled veteran (ambulatory) who’s been wrenching and riding since age 4 (Thanks Pop, we miss you.) I really appreciate your dedication and skills Billy. Good Luck in the Race and, Ride On.
Thanks for your service. My father was also a warrior. In God we trust. Stars and Stripes Forever. Thailand Paul.
I enjoy seeing the process, thanks Billy.
As an "old school" lover..thank you Mr Lane for another great fab video
I know I sound like a broken record but I feel I have to keep saying thank you for making these videos. I love machining and custom work and I know these take a lot of time and work to make having to constantly stop to show and explain the steps in the process. Thanks. These are vastly better than any garbage scripted reality bs shows.
I put a lot of work into this, but your response’s & commitment to them makes it fulfilling and worthwhile
Billy, I always love stopping by the shop, have a blessed week my friend.
Billy, I've been following your work since the first Biker Build off. Everything you've done so far is absolutely amazing, but in my opinion, what you're doing in Sons of speed is your best. Greetings from Croatia
Definitely A Smoother Transition, AWESOME IDEA.👍
Keep up that great work Billy. It’s hard to film and build at the same time. Love the content
I wish I could get into this type of racing it is so cool...... ALL THE BEST FROM AUSTRALIA BILLY......
What's not to get into ? Its racing man. Not only that its bike racing in its simplest form. I get your point though , different strokes right. 👍
@@thobur2661 I think when he that he "wishes he could get into this type of racing" I took it as Him wanting to get into the Sport as a Rider - in the Races.
Those are some awesome bikes and the guys who throw a leg over them are complete badasses!
These 750cc Harley-Davidson racers will smoke most 1200cc H-D big twins. Our racers are aces at the handlebars.
You do super cool work , and …unlike some others you take the time to explain what you are doing , thanks. MLNR JIMMY53! Need to send you one of my 53BRANDANAZ. All I need is the preferred color , and a mailing address. Thanx
Great Job Billy ! .....Love that ageing affect ....,Thank Your Lucky Stars 🍀⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
THANK YOU MR. LANE for sharing the details and techniques and keeping the scene alive and not just the current trends !
Awesome job Billy looks great
39 narrow glides are cheap and plentiful...unlike those Springer's! Great upgrade! Home in Florida again!
You literally look the happiest, and most at piece than you ever have since ive been following you way back in the late '90's. Its a privilege to continue to watch you and follow you Billy, God Speed brother. 🇺🇸
As usual very interesting,informative,and relaxing to watch…thank you..
Thank you for the in depth breakdown of the forks, it makes me confident to attempt jobs like that when I’ve seen it done before.
Thanks Billy, been a big fan for years.....
The front end mods should help keep the tires planted @ the speeds your running. Really diggin' the "Wall of Death" sliders baby,,Rock on brother,, DuBs,,,,,
This is y far the best channel going . Can’t stop watching your stuff Billy . Won’t stop 🤘🏻💯
Damn excellent to see Billy Building!
This is all I’ve ever done, since I was a teenager
Awesome content
Love all the hard work
Great to see your fab skills and know how
I always learn something new
You did a great job Billy on the forks ! Your adopted son John from Eacy Co. would be impressed.I sure as hell am.
One of the best channels on TH-cam. Thanks, Billy!
Thats a badass bike. I'd like to get into this Sons-Of-Speed Racing 🏁
Awesome to see you Billy I just subscribed didn’t know you back out at again. Awesome the forks are nice hope they work and kickass.
Billy your videos are the absolute set on TH-cam, no bull crap just quality teaching from a master fabricator. I consider myself lucky to get to watch you work, thanks for sharing your tremendous talents.
I love seeing the techniques of a pro. You're passing on valuable knowledge. It's very entertaining and much appreciated.
Learning from Billy Lane is like learning rock and roll from Elvis! I've been a fan of him and his work since the early 2000s. This is a dream!
I like how you inserted a cool custom, low-buck custom fork idea in here...
I really love the springer fork but, at these speeds, an upgraded $300 Sportster fork can make a world of difference.
Nice work! that new front end should definitely help. Love the paint scheme on the forks. God bless the U.S.A.
Great work on getting Jake's bike back together. It looks and sounds great!
Another informative video. I learn something watching every time. Thanks and keep ‘em coming!!!
I knew you could do that,good job brother Billy 👍☕️☕️✌️
Your a very good teacher. I learn more from you than any other bike channel I've seen. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain everything you do and why you do it.
That is a wonderful compliment, thank you for sharing it with me.
Great video as usual keep ‘em going!!!!
Billy thanks for letting me hang out in your shop. Looking forward to the next one.
Excellent show. Also very good filming
Watching you work, makes me wanna get back into it. So much knowledge right there, fluid workmanship, seems like you get so much enjoyment from it, I used to be like that and hopefully, one day, I'll get that back. Right now, I gotta concentrate on being a dad.
Really Enjoyed this. Feels like im right there Chillin in the shop with You. Always Enjoy the aged paint techniques. Thank You Brother
Awesome work once again man, the whole front end is just unbelievable,...., .tatro would be proud....
Love what you do man, been watching since the first biker build off....
That first light of the gasoline flared up pretty good. Lol. Billy I wish you wouldn't have cut that out.
Quickly becoming my favorite channel!
Mr Lane you are the real deal. Love the bikes you make. Best wishes from South Wales U.K.
Thanks for another awesome vid,unbelievable skills
Thanks for the video,
Keep them coming please
Great work. Always tweaking to get it a little better each time.
I enjoy your methods and learn a lot from watching you - thanks.
That new front end ought to make for a much better handling motorcycle.
Great vid! Funny thing is I'm just finishing my rattle-can paint job on a rat-chop Harley a guy is putting together for me.
I feel way more happy about the amount of time I am needing to do the job to get desired outcome.
Your patience is contagious!
Thank you for the time and expertise. Like others that have commented, I feel I am watching a master at work.
That old school spray paint to give it that home built look from back in the day is absolutely perfect for this bike. A pro paintjob would be out of place on this thing. You have an exceptional artistic mind. You always have the coolest builds.
Nice watch Billy. I'll be adding a couple of Steinharts to my collection. The one you're wearing in this video will be one if them. The Ocean One GMT.
Looks great as always, it’s cool to watch you in action , when do you build another beautiful chopper ,can’t wait!!
Great job on everything Billy !!LOVE what you do.
Love these videos Billy. Learning a ton, love seeing building ideas and mechanical tricks man. Thank you 🙏
So grateful for the comment, so much more to come your way
Love watching your work your bikes just got that little something better.
Great job the "update" engineering! Excellent tech tips!
Absolutely compelling stuff. The story of Billy Lane keeps on going…
Billy it's So So good to see you back at and better then ever keep on biking on..
Great watch, very informative and entertaining. Love the rebuild, looks mean
Thank you for your time.
Sad to see the Springer go but the paint job on the new forks is just cool. Love anything Indian Larry. Guy was a genius. Best of luck,
I hated that you had to pull the springer, but those forks look great. Plus, gave me awesome paint and aging information. Much appreciated.
Man what a creative genius, superb content, filming an editing

Billy Lane, I just can't believe what an incredible mechanical genius you are, in the way you can fabricate ANYTHING and make it work so well along with your amazing knowledge of every part of every bike you ever worked on! You always leave me so inspired and appreciative for people like you who can also convey that message in such a confident manner! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Keep those videos coming!

Billy was always my favorite bike builder growing up watching him do his thing it’s good seeing him continue doing his thing
Love watching your videos, great job and please continue on!!!
LOVE that bike man. Didn't think I would like it as much visually after the springer removal.. ended liking it better afterwards.
Great tutorial, Billy Lane, Thank you!
Your videos are always enjoyable Billy.., I like when you throw shit -- that always gives me a chuckle😅
An actual builder. An actual bike. Well done Billy.
Hopefully I’ll see you there Billy!! Love that racer you built!!
Absolute functional work of art. Great job Billy. Glad to see the crash was relatively injury free.👍
YOU DID SOME BEAUTIFUL WORK BILLY, OL' SCHOOL ALWAYS 👊🏼👊🏼
W / R 😎
If you happen to read this Billy, I love the techniques you use and totally honored to meet you.
Nice work.
Hey Billy, Not sure if you remember me from 20 odd years ago when you lived in Florida and had your shop matt black pick-up truck. Way back when ... The days before you even built the first "Hubless Wheel" bike and my favorite "Devil in a red dress" bike. I guess you could call it, "The days before you became famous" :) Just wanted to say, You have inspired me for years now with you attention to detail and innovative ideas. Some years back I even attempted to (not as great as yours) build my own devil in a red dress bike and I rode it proudly for some years after that. Sadly when the pandemic hit the world, I had to let her go but I'm still glad I got to build something that was inspired by you. Keep doing what you doing!!! Love your work and will always be a loyal fan. Take care of yourself and your beautiful family my friend. Regards to Erin and the kids. Steve from Sunny South Africa.
GOOD Speech Dan!!!!👍🙏🙏🙏
Good seeing you again. It's obvious you haven't lost your touch.
🤟SKYNYRD ON FULL BLAST!! 🤟
It's great to see how much you love that Billy.
Thanks for sharing your talent
Excellent work Billy!!
Hey, it’s deja-vu all over again! This is why, back in the day, they abandoned springer front ends the first time and developed telescopic forks. Reliving history the painful way, but it’s fun to watch!
Love learning from you man, keep up the great videos!
Thanks for sharing. Cool videshow !
Billy long time fan from the biker build off days, love the content you got brother keep up the good work.
Great Video Billy, I almost want to call it a tutorial it's loaded with good info! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Best of luck to y'all on the racetrack! 🤘🏻
I enjoy your channel. You are doing a great job.
