I can’t tell you how much I dislike the current trend with Dynas & FXRs.

Billy has a good way of breaking it down for the layman . That's the sign of being a good teacher. Thank you Bill ! I also like that he asks the viewers exactly what content That they would like to see. Another trait of a good teacher. Thanks again Billy ! We love you & it's nice to see where your path is taking you .🏍️🎸💰🙏👪

I love this guy good instructor and person. I learn alot from him. Rode with him when he came to Hawaii 23 years ago in the Aloha state. Never goin to forget that. And yes The Late Indian Larry came here to RIP.

Billy you're amazing, I could listen to you all day long.. Thanks for sharing all these videos. Joe D.

First time watching any videos from Billy, class act all the way.

That's almost what I did to my '95 Fatboy .. I went with Zippers Performance 80/80 kit ... I sent them my heads, jugs and CV carb and they did all the machine work. port and polished my heads and installed bigger valves. Fitted my jugs with 10:1 pistons and tuned my carb. They sent everything back with new cam(a Red Shift 559) and push rods along with everything I needed to put it all back together including an S&S metal breather valve ... After I got it all together, I had it dyno'd and even with shitty LAF short exhaust, it still made a bit over 80HP and 98 ft/lb of torque ... I also added a six speed trans to mine and love it. It runs strong nd can keep up with my buddies newer bikes, no problem ... Great video. Love watching you work ....

Thanks Billy, for taking the time to make these informative videos, and thanks also for all the things you do for the riding community, particularly those of us who ride vintage iron 👍

The quality of these videos has greatly improved! Great job Billy, you can tell you’re putting time and effort into making these. Thanks for that!

I love seeing folks working on Evo's. Thanks for the advice, I'm going to apply what I can on my 94 wg.

The bad boy is really looking Bad, Boy. I love the build series your doing with the bike. I really learned alot. It's also really cool that your always shouting out the other bike Legends. Keep up the amazing videos

Watching your bad boy series is giving me confidence to wrench on my ‘96 bad boy. I’m glad I listened to our mutual friend at Custom Destruction Wes who talked me into bad boys

Great Video Billy! I’m a huge fan of yours. I’ve been watching you since I was a little kid. The biker build off series was my favorite show. You and Indian Larry are two of the greats! Love the push rods cover collars! Awesome touch and a great remembrance of a true legend. Looking forward to more of you videos. Ride hard, ride true, and ride safe my brother! 🤘🏼

Love the long format. I really feel like I learned something. Been a fan of the Evo engine since I first got my dresser in ‘95. Good work!

I’m stoked that I found your channel, you inspired me when I was young and now I’m doing the same kind of things I watched you do. I just picked up a 93 FXDL that I’m gonna do some of this same work on.

I just found your channel and immediately subscribed. I have followed you since the Biker Build off series. You mixed it up with several of my favorite builders i.e. Indian Larry and many other great builders. I am glad to see your still going full strength. Congratulations on everything Billy and God Bless.

Your a master at your craft. Always smiling,happy to show us how to do what you do, more builders should be like you.

As a car and truck tech I can really tell how well that was tuned! Take pride in your work bro!

One of the most informative videos i have ever watched. Awesome job Billy

Great productions, no distractions, clear videos, good narrative. Thanks🥝🇳🇿

Born the same year as you Billy. Nice to see you doing well.

love how Billy shows and describes every step.....keep up the kick ass work!

You did a really good video here; covered all the points, clear and concise. I have a'98 Fatboy EVO with mild build. I considered this level over 20 years ago, but never went ahead with it. It still runs great as it is. I'm 75 now, still enjoy the ride, but I don't need the speed at this point in my life. Thanks for sharing this quality channel.

Love the honesty of this old evo, and way excited to see it get a fresh power boost. Great work on the video, and thank you very much for sharing with us! I watched all the build off shows back in the day, and its really impressive how the same guy from all that high dollar glossy stuff can share a real honest tune up job with us now. Your knowledge really shows, thanks again.

It's great to see you back in the groove and doing what you love it was very helpful I'm 70 and still want the ride on Evo 1340 you definitely need more horsepower great video billy stay cool keepup the good work

Wow well done Billy. You explain things perfectly and you are inspiring me to modify my 90 FXSTS. You definitely know what you’re doing so please continue showing more content on your EVO.

I live in Tennessee as well and my dream has always been to open a shop of my own but I would love to get into a shop with you and soak up all the knowledge I could.because I really believe when all the real ones like you are gone then we lose decades of knowledge books can’t teach.I was thinking of how much you probably learnt from all the guys before you and they learnt from the guys before them just a lifetime of trial and errors,real craftsmanship of constantly grinding,honing and carving a path of their own.I just love this shit man.

I really love your videos Billy. You are such a talented machinist/mechanic and good teacher and do a great job of showing and explaining everything, and its awesome to see your enthusiasm and all your little personal touches and details that are important to the bike and to you. Yeah the paint looks sweet and the Indian Larry lifter tubes are special. One of my favorite Biker Builds was the one with you and Indian Larry. He was such a great guy, like you, and the brotherhood and fair sportsmanship you both showed was top end. I watched the video about the flood you had in your shop and felt so bad for you but it was a miracle your equipment and especially the bikes escaped damage and I was happy you had good help cleaning it up and getting back on. I hope you are having a happy life farther north now. Anyway, thanks again for your energy and love for what you do. Also, its great you give credit to everyone that is part of the ride. Keep on.

Billy great tutorials. I own a 1988 fxsts I want to make her look like you set up on your bad boy since I bought her in 88. But I had a huge family. I now have the money to work on her but no time anymore. Thank you for showing me what she would end up looking like. PS: great to see you active in the community. The last time I saw you was Larry's memorial.

Billy I just have so much respect for your knowledge about every single aspect of a motorcycle. The intricacies of an engine wipe me out.

Love the videos Billy thank you for taking the time. I would love to learn how to properly tune a carb. I know that's no simple task. I remember you and Larry trying to start your bike in one of the build offs years ago. Larry was a genius. Time for me to find a good mechanic to be willing to school me a bit.

Very useful video....I love how you explain everything and go into detail of how the parts operate and how to install and get the set up correct.

So glad you're re doing these Evo softails... as I am starting my own 1988 softail custom.

Billy love the work glad to see you back building bikes. Makes me miss my Evo. I had a 1994 fxlr. Thank you for the awesome videos.

I am damn happy to see you're still doing what you love and putting out works of art and pleasing every person that brings in their bike for a tune up. With all the knowledge that you gathered over the years from very reputable motorcycle builders you are second to none thank you Billy I would look forward to meeting you someday.

Love the maintenance vids 👍🏻 I ride a Sporty that used to be a 883 but my local independent Harley mechanic made it to a +1200 with opened heads and bigger valves, it made a ton of difference! I call her MissBehavin in honour of your red Chopper with the devils tail behind the tank in front of the “family jewels “ that bike was and is my dream bike 💪🏻

Glad to see you’re happy and still doing your thing.

So cool to see Billy and a few others from the great biker build off back in action. Especially after that run in with the law, I watched that video a while back.

Man I love the excitement throughout the whole video

Thank you Billy for taking the time too show us what you’re talking about 👍💪solid as they come

Protect this man at all costs. Thanks for the info!

I really appreciate the attention to detail while teaching us about what your doing. Enjoying following your video’s.

Thanks for the Inspiration Billy, really like all the small positive mods you are doing, as my zen is tinkering and putting bikes together.

Very humble guy and what a great instructor. He could teach at a school for sure. I’m checking all of his videos to see what he’s done with a Flathead. I have a 37’ ULH and I want to learn how to service valves, carb, etc. Time to buy a really good manual.

Man it looks awesome with the 97 tins.. Great find man. A complete BB tin set is not easy to come by. Great content!

THANKS! Really appreciate you taking the time to make this video and can into such detail. Loved the way you brought us the simple to complex and took the time to explain everything and share your wisdom with us

Hey brother love your videos I'm 68 and have been working on bikes and cars in my little garage for a long time every weekend you have taught me a lot of tricks, keeps me going, keep it up, and thanks for your time!!

Billy Lane laid back and chock full of skills and knowledge. I binge watch the channel and enjoy his content and oldschool respect to you @billy lane

The bike sounds good and Billy Lane really knows what he is talking about when he explains building up the horsepower with new heads and pistons and the cam. The jetting of the bike and the detailed explanation of the coffee colored plugs for the proper burning of the fuel and proper combustion really makes it a no brainer to listen to him and maybe if it is a dire straits situation to have your bike looked at, it may just pay to stop into his shop and get the advice or the quick look over from one of the legends in bike building and motorcycles. Thank you for posting Billy Lane. Very informational and educational.

I didn't know you were from around my area. Hendersonville resident here. Been a big fan for a long time since the Biker Build Off days. Glad to see ya on here. God Bless ya man!!

Why am I only finding this channel now? I've been a huge fan of yours since I first saw Build off. Great video, no annoying music, no bs, just a quality tutorial. It sounds awesome, and the black and silver are definitely better looking than the black and red. I'll bring one of your bikes to Ireland 🇮🇪 one day

I’m so glad I’m getting see billy lane to do work! I just started my own KZread working on my Harley dyna. Hope to see a lot more content

Great channel Billy, I just found it tonight. I use to always watch your shows and bought some parts from you in the past. I think I am going to buy a late 90's softail after watching these videos.

Welcome to TN, awesome to have such a skilled builder in my home state. That's a sweet bike.

Hey mr. Billy Lane , just want to tell ya, your honesty and humility shines bright and the the world is a better place with people like you.keep doin’ you brother.

Was pumped to hear you mention Stephenson's Cycle. Mr. Boyle and I had a nice conversation about you last time I was there, a while back. Your Bad Boy is truly one super cool ride. Always been a fav of mine. Love the vids. See you and Larry everyday on my garage gallery walls.

Just found this. I don’t know shit about working on Harley motors but I love it. Great video. Excited to check prior videos.

Good to have you back!

Excellent sound ,and video quality Billy. Great job editing too. The EVO is a ripper now !

Billy, love your tutorials. Common sense methods. Thanks for doing what you do.

Just got 1st Harley Davidson 2 yr's ago. Love wrenching on it. (Relaxing) Seriously like your approach & idea's on your work.. Really makes me excited to do more, Thank you for the tutorials,, helps out a bunch

Your videos are always awesome and I loved the bikes you built in the biker build off series and that's a show that has to come back.

I just traded a 99 electraglide for a 92 springer. Super excited to get to work on making it my own. I used to live down by your shop in melbourne. Tried getting into your shop to do an apprenticeship. And was told you were waiting on the insurance to do an apprenticeship. I stopped in your shop about a week before the a1a incident and then i moved to michigan. You and larry have always been my favorite builders. Im now disabled and was diagnosed with a brain mass.

I gotta admit, i was glad to see you were still alive when u showed up in my feed

This is great that engine sounds happy and powerful. I’m really excited about the 88 springer softail project you have coming up that is the exact bike that I have it’s crazy to see how high it used to sit stock and where it has come from. Keep up the amazing work you are a true OG to the biker world.

Man I really appreciate your tip of the hat to Jesse….. and Larry too. Awesome build

Wow, Billy Lane another OG legend, great vlog keep up with feeding us awesome content.

Nothing like a Evo gallop.. love it, have my 87 softail up & running in years, feels good, love your vids Billy keep up the good work

Man I’m glad I found this channel , thank you glad your doing well

Excellent video! Please continue with these informative and entertaining pieces. Thanks Billy!

My favorite bike builder of all time. When I was a kid I had a book full of custom builders pictures I looked at for hours. and Billy Lane is the goat. This is amazing. Wanna do this to my 97 fatboy. What a down to earth legend.

I had the pleasure of meeting you years ago and you made me feel like I was a friend. I will always appreciate that. Subscribed, and I wish you well in the future. I live in central Tennessee. Welcome!

I am going to do this myself to a 96 twin cam. I was always afraid to, but this video inspired me.

This really inspires me to hot rod my 88" twin cam with 120k miles! Thabks for the details on such a cool build. Ride safe with IL.

You have been such a inspiration to me since the first time I saw you on biker build off. Have many Chopper Inc parts, only missing a oil cap and gas caps, hopefully someday somebody will sell these on eBay. Have a nice day and ride safe 😎

That was a nicely condensed build up. Learnt some new things , had some things re-inforced in a well presented manner like an everyman style video. Enjoyed that alot. Subscribed for more! 👍

Your by far the smartest of all hd guys ive seen in my life.

Seriously good tutorial here. Billy, I'm just up the road from you in Murfreesboro. I'd like to do something on my channel about the Board racers. How can we go about this?

Just found your KZread page. Back in the 90s/2000s, I used to follow your builds in the magazines. Glad I found your page🤙. I'm currently riding a roadglide daily but have an 81 shovel I'm putting together. I'm glad to see you're still doing it and making this content. MLH&R

I have a 95 Softail Custom Evo, and I've been trying to find out the best way to pep it up without taking the traffic driveability out of it. Great Information Billy. Thank You. Comeback 1%

Love your videos Billy! Keep them coming my friend. You have taught me a lot, and I appreciate it!

This was awesome Billy. Hell, this had me excited, lol. The only let down was no shot of you accelerating down the road on this Bad Boy.

Glad I worked a Ray Price Harley in Raleigh NC...in 79-85 glad I learned a LITTLE about horsepower back then.

Again Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!! Anybody can read but the way you explain makes a person can get way more out of!!! I have learned more in life from other people than any book!!!

Damn man that bad boy is just badass.. Your knowledge of bikes is amazing, & the fact you're sharing it with us on here speaks a lot about your passion, your character , and who the f--- you are.. 👍👍..

nice to see you taking time to share knowledge with us.
