    Thank you for being the first person I have found to talk about that exhaust bracket! I took the fish tail pipes off my bike and couldn’t find anything about how to remove that bracket!!

    I love uour videos man! You, Pacific Mike, and Rap's Garage are my go to channels. I have an 01 Fatboy that i blew the motor in. Got the cases split, doing a complete rebuild on it. Truing the flywheels, welding and plugging the crank pin, rebuild the transmission, swingarm bearings, rear shocks, neck bearings etc. Stripping the bike to a bare frame then dragging it in the shop like hpw Dildo did on beyond the law wit charlie sheem when they put that Softail custom together. Thank u for the videos!

      @@butlercustoms Absolutely. I love the bike, they don't make em like they used to. Nothing like a bike that's payed for that you trust to take anywhere at will. Keep doing your thing my friend

    Thanks for the video man! I have to take my swing arm out because the shock bolt fell out and gummed up the threads. I can't tap it with it in there because I am afraid I can't keep it straight enough to not take the old threads out.... smh

    I think you should go back to showing everything. Love the videos. Keep up the great work brother.

      Thank you for that advice. I have returned to showing everything. But it will be a couple of videos until the detailed ones start showing up. Thanks again!

    Personally, I like to follow you along though all steps of the job you are performing. It's interesting to me, a person with little mechanical experience, to hear you talk about the little things along the way, that are second nature to someone with skills like you, that go into a task like replacing gaskets on an engine-like your use of the brass brush on a Dremel tool to clean a cylinder before putting it back together. I don't always need to watch you turn the wrench through the entire bolt removal process, unless you are saying something interesting while turning. Of course, to remove the action of undoing a bolt from the final video requires editing which just increases the total time it takes you to finish a video for presentation.

      I’ll go back to the old way then. I just didn’t want it to get too boring. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Awesome video! What’s the ID and OD of the bearing. Is there a difference in 86-99 and 2000-17 sizes

    Good to see another video! But I have to say I miss your original opening music. It was a lot more fun. This music just sounds angry.

    • @butlercustoms
      @butlercustoms  ปีที่แล้ว

      The original song kept getting me flagged for copyright issues even though I had a license for it. So I had to switch. I liked the original better as well. Maybe I can find another one less bitter. Thanks for the suggestion. I like getting feedback on how to improve.

    Put a cheap bolt on one of my shocks & it broke short time after will never do that again

    • @butlercustoms
      @butlercustoms  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yep. Lots of pressure on those bolts. Grade 8 at the minimum.
