I reckon Craig carry’s this channel a lot, with out him they would be missing heaps, I feel like he doesn’t get the props he deserves, keep it up Craig mate your good at what you do 🤟🤙
Sean and Craig are like Freddy Tavarish and Jared Pink, but of motorcycles.
It was different content when Sean was using it to sell bikes. I dont think he ever intended on being a production studio. I think they both carry each other and without the two it wouldn't be a fraction as good as it is now
Comment section always makes me laugh some of you are like high school girls starting drama and rumors. They work good with each other you wouldn't know Craig if it wasn't for Sean. Some of you talk crap and bad mouthing Sean it's ridiculous what reason would you have to make negative comments. Just enjoy the free content no need to talk shit and judge lol.
@@speedtofu2108 Thanks, I was wondering if he used to sell via SRK cycles....I thought I recognized the voice.....I just found this channel like this week. I looked at all his bike reviews before buying my (new to me) vstar 1100 last august.....he did great real reviews on bikes....
@@muskokamike127 Seans got that Christian integrity, which is critical in bike reviews. At first Craig was helping repair bikes for the shop. Really good boomer humor chemistry for the camera, likely unintended but they ran with it
This is the most work I've ever seen Sean do. One step above holding the light. Keep it up sean..
It's amazing how well the bike runs when you put some fuel in the tank!
What a coincidence huh
Thanks for the reply from Bikes and Beards, guess I'm just to slow.
It's crazy what happens when u store things half ass. Doesn't take much to prep for storage.
Leave the carb full of gas and ur not in for a good time.
Oh yeah it runs better when you don't put fuel in the tank
🤣🤣🤣👍
I think Bikes and Beards is now required to find out how far you can make it without a carburetor, using only the "manual" method. 😆
I've had to do it with a boat after running out of fuel. 2 cans of quick start to make it back home. A shot per cylinder can work rather well.
@@esqkronic There’s a good lesson for ya haha, always top off. Glad ya made it back
I mean, they did it to themselves, I fully support this statement
I've always heard to much starter fluid is not a good on a motor. Would have to be a clunker they don't care about. Unless that's old myths
@@craigkirkland I can think of one way to find out!
Keep it pink! It’s rad as heck. Also, have y’all considered gettin an ultrasonic cleaner? They work wonders on this small parts to get rid of gunk/grime. 🤘
Upp
I agree100%. Whats wrong with pink? I'd ride it as is.
Definitely keep it pink!
Team pink! Keep it rad and run it!
Sean is the mechanic I get every time I go to the dealership, 6 hours of labor, bike still has same problem, lmao
Looks spammy…
What problem?
Fr I don't like Sean.
You guys ought to get an ultrasonic cleaner for doing carbs, works well for breaking up the crud in the small passages in carbs.
Yea that's what I use and it makes life easier
@INBOX-Telegram@👉bikesandbeards01 why do you scumbag scammers insist on clogging up the comment section? Take a walk.
I was thinking the same thing, that would help them and everything they do so much.
if they had everything like that what "made life easier" , honestly there videos wouldnt be as fun to watch ... i like it the way they are
I just use my wifes ultrasonic jewelry cleaner for small stuff when she aint looking
I’m positive that you could replace that carburetor with just about anything from Honda bikes/three wheelers 185-250cc size. May need a different throttle cable.
you'd also be surprised how many carbs will work for engines they werent made for. Check out thunderhead289 and how he put a lawnmower carb on a v8!
@@jackstange9211 40+mpg on a v8 lol
@@jackstange9211 not surprised, I do it all the time! 😃
Will a CV carburetor works on a 2 stroke? I never seen one
@@DersNoNem I don’t know, it would run but probably not well. If I had a ratty old two stroke I would try it.
I flipping love this channel. Sean and Craig are so well spoken and knowledgeable. I love it.
It's usually a good time here for sure!
@@SparkyMoto don't do it it's a scam it's not him
Best part of the channel is you guys get along so well. The whole thing works.
Thanks. Years ago I worked at a local Harley dealer (1970/1971) and all the guys got along. Except the head of the service floor.
I love how you guys let everyone in your crew share in the projects. Even the camera guy in your crew gets to have fun
Bro! I have ridden my whole life. I used to drink a lot. 3 years ago I got sober and have become very active in helping others to get sober. One of the fears of getting sober is not having anymore fun.
Your channel has inspired me that I can still have fun thru the motorcycle community. I suggest watching your videos to newcomers.
I lost both my legs from a bone infection but still ride.
Thank you for all you do!
Bike lift tip...take a ratchet strap through the front wheel and around the uprights of the wheel vise to lock the front wheel in the vise (or up against the uprights in this case). It secures the motorcycle front wheel in the vise much better than the vise tension alone.
The carburetor missing trick!! I loved that. Our childish minds keep us young. Love these videos. Thanks for the smiles.
I love Craig's optimism. "how we feeling?" that it's gonna be better? "that it's gonna be AMAZING!" that it's gonna be better...
I would love to see a Car Trek series/challenge hosted by bikes and beards but on bikes. These guys come up with the challenge for hoovie, tavarish and ed but are involved in the episodes as mechanics and judges for what the other three (with purposefully limited experience) find.
yooooooooooo its Nurk
do those guys even use motorcycles? would be fun to just see the bikes and beards do thei rown car trek maybe with another couple of moto youtubers, but you are on to something
@@silosis I don't know but I think that would be part of the fun is them learning
Scam
Yeah nah!
Love the videos mate and hello from Scotland
I loved how the screen goes black at the 23 minute mark, that was awesome!
with the amount of carbs that you and Craig cleans, might as well get an ultrasonic cleaner
Ultrasonics are great.
It's cool to see how excited Dan was after getting a bit of confidence on the bike, don't think he wanted to get off it after. Good job.
You and Craig are awesome. This is by far my favorite TH-cam channel. Keep doin what your doin have a good day Sean.
Did you respond to them? I got notified of being a winner too so just wanted to see if it’s legit
@@matthatter93 nah they scammer its fun to mess with em tho
Both of your enthusiasm here is great and watching you fixing the bike is very interesting.
Craig should do a carburetor tutorial. Cleaning and tuning and all that good stuff.
Amazing idea
The video is over , but the fun is just beginning !😎DAN! come here and try this ! 😇 I can't believe he did it !🤯
Yes. Yes you can!
Wow what a classic. These BW vintage machine growing up where the best trail machines great job getting all these memory makers running 🤟🏻
sean keeping it pink makes it different which makes it cool
it's like naming a segway electric bike Gary, weird but cool
I remember seeing the TV commercials for Honda's Fat Cat when I was a kid. Even my dad wanted to get a couple of them, but my family had a thing against power sports equipment and never did. Now I got the modern day equivalent for my kids and me- several Coleman CT200U-EX minibikes. I have so much fun riding around with my kids in the woods and fields, and the ATV tires are so forgiving and easy to ride. I love fat tires.
I look forward to your posts, videos and all the cool stuff you guys do. Thanks for making Craig a bigger fixture on the channel, he is great too!
My man Craig was really fed up on this one.
We love you Craig!
Yes definitely keep that bike pink!! It looks awesome pink! I'd kill to find one of those fat tire bikes in the condition those are in. I always loved those bikes.
Did you message them in telegram?
@@matthatter93 no it's definitely a scam. I'm not going to fall for it. These scammers go around doing this all over TH-cam.
@@prophez23 boom thanks for the feedback. I don’t spend much time in the comment section so I don’t see these posts and the bike they said they were going to send me was one I knew they had in the shop
@@matthatter93 no problem! Yeah be really careful with these kind of comments. I watch a lot of scam baiter channels and they talk about these kind of scams a lot. I never send anyone a dime no matter what they try to tell me. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
@@prophez23 I owe you a cup of coffee if I ever see you at a bikes and beards meet up! Have a good day!
you should absolutely keep it pink. This colour suits that bike so well.
I'm in love with that pink one hahaha it looks great
This is the best type of mechanic that you can have. Always chilled with a lot of fun at work and a lot of knowledge 👍🏻
you guys are awesome. just made me a life long fan with the Biden thing. freaking great
I replied
@@donnewland6720 To yourself?
I've been binging Forensic Files on TH-cam for days now at work. Glad to see a new video drop. Needed something upbeat 🤣
After looking for 23" diameter tires for my japanese mini-truck, I realized there are not many options. There are a couple choices on ebay. Maybe one will work for you.
I used to have a truck trimmed out in about that same color… back in the very early 90s… ah the memories
Craig has a whole lot of patients and I respect that~
Literally living the best life. Bikes and Beards? WIN!
You won..... 😆
I ain't got time to piddle with a finicky or damaged carb. Carbs are cheap. Change out the whole carb. Kudos to you guys for sticking with it.
😂Looks like me trying to wheelie my GSXR after 14 years off of a street bike. Good on you for fixing these legendary fun toys.
You two make a great team!! So much fun!! Thank you for sharing!!
Did you respond to them? I did and want to make sure it’s legit
I have no knowledge of bikes but this vid was informative and fun to watch you guys bring it back to life. Great work!
It's only a little painful to watch, these guys are super knowledgeable and are doing the best they can. I specialize in carburetors in all applications (automotive, power sport, and marine) so there are some moments when I notice myself talking to them through my screen lol. Great job guys!
I'm a small engine mechanic and I loooove working on carbs and cleaning them. I wish me and Craig could have a friendly companion, with a carb cleaning, and rebuild contest 😆. I know he would win but would be fun lol
"You're doing a good job holding that flashlight, son."
OMG, I have been waiting my whole life to hear this!
My buddy had a honda big wheel when we were in our 20’s, (50’s now) was a beast. Great to see you enjoying the experience as much as we did.
I love your videos I got a motorcycle after watching many videos I really loved having it and experiencing it for the little time I had it I started on. 750 cc Suzuki katana sadly it was stolen last night
When Craig was pushing the bike my youngest son said "I see he butt, his butt hanging out" cracks me up what they notice.
so many times have i been yelled at in the garage while holding the light for my old man. i finally went over kill with lights to kinda put a stop to it, finger lights, wrist, head lamps, magnetic flexible. he loves them even the ones i got that was more of a joke. the ones on the fingers if they dont get in the way can be handy.
Craig is a master mechanic. I would kill to just come watch you guys work. I just got into working on my own stuff and I know nothing.
An old "crock pot"/slow cooker works as well as an ultrasonic cleaner. Buy one for a dollar at your neighbors garage sale! 🤘🖖
That Barbi Bike is awsome! From a guy who grew up riding wheelies on ct 90's and atc's, those bikes used an auto clutch that releases when the shifter lever is actuated. If you shift the lever and hold it, it's the same as pulling the clutch lever. Then you can rev up the motor, release the shifter, and hang on!
You guys are the best! Keep up the great work!
LOL!! @ 7:05 Craig's playin' Sean's S-Flute. Lol @ 22:57 when the camera went black, I thought Sean went all "June Parade" on the pink Fat Cat!! 😂 🤣 💀
I know, I'm banished from all give-aways 4 life. Couldn't help it. 😂
Hey fellas. If you hold up on the shifter its pushing the clutch in. So when you shift or in first hold up , rev and release. Wheelie time.
I've wanted the Honda Fat Cat since I first saw then in early 200. I've never been too good on 2 wheels but grew up riding 4 wheelers so I figured something like this is ideal for me. Nice work getting her going. Also yall should check out BVC Offroad, he takes new dirt bikes and builds them into these big wheels and he has some BA builds.
Honda had a 70cc with big tires but a smaller frame. Was a very fun bike to learn on.
14:00 interesting metallurgy note. They taught me the opposite in my material science classes. When pushed passed its yield point, the sections that fold or deform receive dislocations in the molecular structure. They are basically "knots" in the metal that make it harder to move back. It does have a memory tho, as in you can bend it within the yield strength and it will bend back on its own. I am surprised you got it that straight!
I love how the moment Sean gets the camera it’s shaking all over. Lol. That would be me.
You guys always put a smile on my face, plus I learn something.
I miss my old Honda CT trail 70. Great little bike for just about all ages.
I learned to wheelie on a gas bike stock sprocket is a 44 tooth , I run a 56 and a rear hub that mounts the sprocket to the hub , I never popped the clutch ,and had to learn balance point because the lack of power ,and can wheelie forever now , can't wait to get a dirt bike to try it on , another bonus of a gas bike is it weighs almost nothing , I never fell down once learning balance point wheelies , it got squirly at times kinda bruised the ball of my foot from slapping it down ,and I looped but just landed on my feet like when you loop a mtn bike
Def leave it pink. Love these old Big Wheels. Wish Yamaha still made them. The TW 200 is still a pretty rad option but not on the same level.
Give Craig a raise! We love Craig!
Love you guys living your dream and it's called a job!!! I'm trying to get there. Couple more years I hope to have a metal fab and design company launched! Build bikes and cars on the side for myself, family, friends, and anyone who shares my style and vision
I would have thought another carb of the same size would work most Japanese carbs fit on multiple range of bikes just a thought keep it up looking forward to seeing you try to wheely have fun
You should get an ultrasonic cleaner for the carbs, and other parts.
I just found out about this channel a few weeks ago and I've watched like every video .I really like your content it's really fun to watch and interesting and funny keep it up!
Both you and Craig are getting good at getting motorcycles of any kind in God knows what shape, running well!! Great job!! Kudos to both of you!!
Love you guys and this channel!! Never owned a bike but got a sense of humor!!
Craig is the man he saves his ass all the time haha
Dude, you have a great channel with great audience. Maybe invest in better video quality? I'm not talking better res but some optical stabilization, the vids are always so shacky when you're filming moving stuff. No hate, I love the content and I've been watching it from the early days, just some well-meant feedback.
These BW dirt bikes are so sick. I have always loved them and would love to own one some day! 👍👍🔥🔥
Dan is the glue of this Show. i want to see more of him. Also he is a better biker that Sean.
You guys def have another girl that watches your videos and I'm a pennsylvania girl! I also had a 1985 honda BW I rebuilt when I was in my teens! They are so much fun but unfortunately I haven't found one that was whole you guys hit the BW lottery with those! Love your guys channel just came across and I haven't stopped watching! 🤜🤛
The pink one is dope. You have to keep it pink. SAS pink panther. The front fairing mudguard design is genius.
Absolutely loved seeing these back in the day, actually got to ride one and kid in a candy store didn't come close to the ride, and I had the kx80 the rm 125 also 250 and the fat kat was just stupid fun
When you guys were looking at the needle jet body in the light, It was probably time to take a heavy fiber from the wire wheel and clamp the thing in vise grips and poke the holes clean on the needle body. they get crusted often and it's an easy fix !
Clean the jets with a welding tip cleaner . Also can use a deep fryer and evapo rust solution among others to clean the carbs when they are taken apart . Don't boil for more then 30 min . Rinse with water then spray parts with parts cleaner re assemble the carb and bobs your uncle . If it still flutters a bit repeat boil but id go no more then 20 min .
Just put a CR250 motor in it to compensate for the pink paint, as a bonus you'll have a clutch.
You guys should invest in an ultrasonic cleaner. Pretty cheap on amazon and well worth it when dealing with these old carbs
I would really want to text you, but I'm watching half of the world from you. Haha.
Shout out to all pinoys whose also watching bike and beards and wants to win Sean's giveaways but couldn't join for some reason. 😂😂
Edit: i forgot to say that, Craig forgot to put a gas in the tank. Haha
Paint it blue... they where originally blue I believe. Had the Yamaha Big Wheel 80 when I was a kid.. loved it.
Tried finding one of these for my girlfriend, can’t believe you found 3! Awesome vid you should put street tires on one.
I'd say a green would look awesome
Had a major dead spot on my Honda 200, (bought new with this condition), took fine sand paper to the main jet needle at the estimated fuel restriction point, fixed.
My buddy had one when we were kids. It was a Brand new bike in 1988 and I rode that thing more than I did my own..He liked my YZ and I liked the Fat Cat.. This one brought back some memories. XP
I bet Craig could get just about any bike running. Well done guys! These fat tire bikes are awesome content.
Love these videos and with the more unedited style at the end really makes it feel like we are there chilling with you guys keep them up unless it was a mistake kinda with the black screen for a few seconds and you didn’t mean to have the video like that but just so you know I enjoyed it better
Oh Craig,that Biden bike riding joke earned you a heap of love and respect for me lmao. God bless you boys and I’m happy to be here
Love the Video, spectacular as always!
Argh! If I’d watched this video a few months ago, I would have found the split in the boot between the carb and head on my missus’ bike sooner! Such a satisfying feeling fixing a fault like that!
I sense the insurance premium, goes up every time Dan Rides.
love seeing blasts from the past brought back to life
Shaun your ADD Is going to drive Craig crazy let him work on one thing at a time. If you wanna work on something just do it and know Craig can fix it.
Ghost brake had me in tears laughing. The Dad Jokes made the end of my birthday even happier. Keep up the great unscripted entertainment gentleman.
Here's the missing Bible Verse "Proverbs 28:26" 😎
Craig is the man! Sean is a good businessman and is awesome but Craig makes it happen. Thank you both. Keep it easy
Craig has so much knowledge about these bikes. Then he is humble and always learning new things about old bikes. I am amazed that Sean owns and runs a business. He still listens to Craig like he is learning new things. The Bible verses are the best.
Hey wait no Bible verse.
