I always enjoy the initial tare down of the donor not only are you thinking about what will work and look good? You’re thinking about what’s on this bike that would look cool on something else! Unless it’s a clean example of course!
Yeah Ralph the moment i heard the Mrs. Say she got her hands greasy…….. i say oh boy here they go again i bet their gonna say something about my clean hands again…………… and without fail, the dead horse was beaten once again!!! 😂😂😂 great video. My new video drops soon, my editing program has been holding it hostage!!!! I hate technology!!!! I vote the split-tanks, they look best!!! 👍🍺 SLICK
ha ha ha. We had a good laugh over that Slick. Editing programs can be a pain at times, I know the feeling. Don't know what you are using but I use "Davinici Resolve" and its great. Takes a bit to get on to it but gives you a lot of audio control. Got to get the newest updates for my system but afraid I might loose stuff in the process. Don't trust things like that when installing updates. Sometimes more trouble than they are worth lol. Looking forward to your video, I missed it on my Sat morning of catching up with everyone. Thanks for commenting Slick.
Any unit would be a great thing for bikers to have. Small price to pay for not being left on the side of the road, or for use at home..Thanks for commenting.
I like the big train headlight with a light bar. The classic look. I also have that air pump. Plus I always carry one of those booster boxes in my bag. In the great idea of no more kick starters. And here in The Peg it's -16⁰C and snow.
I am liking the big light as well. Great to have such things with you if you or a bro has a problem.Thanks for letting me know where you are from and it is cold here now as well. Thanks for commenting.
On my 03 ultra I carry a HD air pump and the one guy years ago got a flat we fixed and he made a comment about the little hand pump luckily one of the other guys told him he either used the pump or puts his bike to a gas station .It’s nice to have a good helper .sorry I hate those bars.As for the light either the springer light or the small light the big one just looked to big .But just glade Margret is coming back to life
I think these little pumps are a great idea and could help others out if they have a problem. I am liking the springer light, as it adds some meat to the front. Not stuck on the bars as I am still trying things. Thanks for commenting.
Absolutely fantastic video! I’ve been a sucker for a springer since the 90’s! Growing up it’s all my pops and his friends would ride?! Must a stuck got three currently myself. That looks like a OEM springer does Burley make a lowering kit for it? Taller springs on top shorter on the bottom. May be able to flip the rocker as well? Def. Check out the tire pump! Can always use one of those being a laced wheel guy 🤣 Thanks again for all the great information! She looks great! 👍🏻
I too love the looks of a springer. Just haven't built something for a while with one and I think Margaret will look great with this addition. Don't know about a lowering kit and don't think I can flip the rockers on this one, but getting a plan together to lower it a bit. The little pump is a great tool to have in the old saddle bags. Thanks for commenting.
Ralph i think the fatbob tanks look better and the big light you have does go with that imo. Margaret is coming together nicely. Im looking forward to following this build David from Richmond, Va.
I think the fat bobs will be my choice and I would like to use what I can that Margaret came with originally. Thanks for commenting and letting me know where you are from!
I've been wondering what a springer would look like with a swingarm, and it don't look bad! I'm enjoying the mock up, like the Bob tanks myself! Take er easy Ralph!
Awesome video Ralph. I absolutely love the direction you are going with Margaret. I'm really excited to see her all done up. I also enjoyed seeing your wife and puppy make an appearance as well lol. Thank you for the shout out my friend. You made me laugh with the Stock Frame Killer remark 😅😅😅
Thank Hip. I figured you would like the springer on her. Needed some extra muscle, to get it on, so she had to come help and Norman kept a watchful eye on every thing going on ha ha. You are the king of the ridged's. Thanks for commenting my friend.
Back when I physically still could I loved building bikes especially when someone would bring me a basket case give me some ideas and said go for it. Glad I got to do it for 15 + years
I am still trying to keep on, as age does try to take you out of the game. I love building, and working with others, so I will continue as long as I can as well. Thanks for commenting.
Yes sir, Margret is getting quite the facelift. It’ll be really interesting to see the finished product. Nice video, Ralph, looking forward to the next.
Trying to get away from the stock look and haven't had a chance in a while to build something different. Nothing set in stone yet but getting closer. Thanks for commenting.
This is the third or forth comment section I have seen Kroil mentioned. I may need to check this stuff out? I, as crazy as it sounds like the real small cans? Seems I am always in really tight spots 🤣 they also don’t spray as hard easier to control (my opinion & preference) Thanks for recommending! 👍🏻
Several years ago I had Softtail springer (for 21” wheel) on a swingarm Shovelhead frame. The stance was good, it rode and handled fine (but Harley standards). The front brake was good.
I love mocking up a bike but it as you know it can take a week to decide on one part and then when you change another piece it can change everything . I like the headlight that you have on it now but sit the tank on it and then see which one. The tank will make a big difference. Love the ole flh style and everything you can do with it to make it yours. I like fat bobs a lot more - they are my preference - if you want a bobbed look then try 3.5 gal fat bob tanks. Just my 2 cents - Looking forward to more. later
I love mock up as you can try many different looks. When it is right...you will know. I'm liking the fatbobs as well. I want her to be a bit chopped but look like she's built for business as well. Thanks for commenting.
The link is in the description below the video. Click the more button ( in the description) and it will expand. The air pump should be the first one there I think. Thanks for the question.

Do you enjoy the mock up stages when building a new bike? let us know.
its always fun wen u hav al0tta partS layin ar0und.

@@benderbender1233 Yes that does make it easier. Guess thats why I never throw stuff out, even if its bad ha ha.
@@Billy-703 You are exactly right. Always thinking about the next project. Thanks for commenting.
They all looked great!
I have a gooloo jump pack. It is awesome. I have a dewalt air pump but that is large. This would fit in a saddle bag.
It seems to be a great little unit and not very big. I am impressed so far. Thanks for commenting.
Yes. I watched it twice lol
Doing some thumbnail testing so maybe that got ya lol. Thanks for commenting.
Definitely love the fat bobs better. Love that rear fender. The last light looks good to me. Just my opinion.
I'm feeling you there. Just going to try anouther tank, and, fender as well, and then decide. Thanks for the opinion and commenting.

Nice to see Margaret getting some time.
So many things to work on this winter and hard to get to them all but I will keep plugging away at her. Thanks for commenting.
I have a couple different battery operated air units.. one Ryobi one hyper tough... Absolutely a must have!!! Great video!!!
Any unit would be a great thing for bikers to have. Small price to pay for not being left on the side of the road, or for use at home..Thanks for commenting.
Looking forward to this 😁🏍️

Love it the Springer looks good look forward to this build
Yes it is a bit different for this build but I am liking the look. Thanks for commenting.

I am enjoying the mock up. You know what you want when you see it. I look forward to seeing your vision come to life.
It takes a bit but is very satisfying in the end to get to where you want to be. Thanks for commenting.
I've been wondering what a springer would look like with a swingarm, and it don't look bad! I'm enjoying the mock up, like the Bob tanks myself! Take er easy Ralph!
I think it looks good on this build. I think I will go with the fat bobs but still not sure ha ha. Thanks for commenting Terry.
@itsmytimeletsgo Thanks Ralph!

The bike looks good with the stock tanks. What province are you in in Canada? Iam in Ontario.
I agree. Nova Scotia. Thanks for letting me know where you are from.
Yes sir, Margret is getting quite the facelift. It’ll be really interesting to see the finished product. Nice video, Ralph, looking forward to the next.

Enjoying the shovel build,best wishes from Northern Ireland
Thank you I am having fun with this one. Thanks for letting me know where you are watching from!
Have you ever tried Kroil Oil to loosen things up? It's my go to.
No but a few people have mentioned that as well. I will have to check it out. Thanks for commenting.
This is the third or forth comment section I have seen Kroil mentioned. I may need to check this stuff out? I, as crazy as it sounds like the real small cans? Seems I am always in really tight spots 🤣 they also don’t spray as hard easier to control (my opinion & preference) Thanks for recommending! 👍🏻
The stance is perfect the way you have it. I like the fat bob tanks.
Its about sitting level there, but up at stock height. I am hoping to lower it some, got a plan ha ha. Thanks for commenting.
loving the mockup and you're right about that headlight it looked way to big 'til you put the tank on
You never know until you try stuff. I do enjoy this stage of building. Thanks for commenting.
If you lace a rim to the hub on the fx springer, reminder that it has an offset to it. Wheel doesn't sit centre in forks.
Yes I know. I used a regular type hub to set it up. Thanks for the info and commenting.
Your making good progress, have a blessed week my friend
Thanks she is coming along. Thanks for commenting.
FX superglide tank would look pretty nice!
Yes it would but unfortunaly I don't have one here. Thanks for commenting.
😎👍😎
B I G headlight ..
Cool shirt..
Agreeded and both. Thanks for commenting.
Several years ago I had Softtail springer (for 21” wheel) on a swingarm Shovelhead frame. The stance was good, it rode and handled fine (but Harley standards). The front brake was good.
It is a little long for the stock frame at 30 degrees but think I have a plan for that.
@ yes. My chassis had a “rake” on the stance. I like the look of the frame sitting a little high in front.
@@johnkelly6942 This one is not raked so its is a little high but I have a plan to get her a little lower. Thanks for commenting.
love this channel all the best from the uk
So glad you are enjoying it. Thanks for letting me know where you are watching from.

Dont forget, the front end will likely drop about an inch with the weight of the complete bike and rider.
Yes I am aware of that thanks. Still trying to get her a little lower yet. I have a plan and we will see if it works out. Thanks for commenting.
I didn’t see the link to the air pump ?
The link is in the description below the video. Click the more button ( in the description) and it will expand. The air pump should be the first one there I think. Thanks for the question.
