You are too kind. Thanks for watching & for sharing your thoughts

I always like to watch Billy Lane work, he's able to convey ideas in a down to earth manner without constantly trying to make you feel like you should be in awe of his skills....like, oh say Jesse James.

The biker build off between you & Larry was epic. RIP Indian Larry..........

You gave me an oil cap when I was about 14 at the easyriders show in Dallas, I wasn’t able to ride yet but when I got my first bike I couldn’t wait to put it on my bike. Now that oil cap has been modified a million times to fit the bike I’m riding.

It is great you share this with us. I know many appreciate seeing your skill and cool 😎 ideas in video form. It's one thing to see a finished product, but we get to appreciate more. Thanks!

You were a part of my childhood Billy may father Shawn Kelly former warlock died last year. Thanks for making his 37th bday great he passed out in his truck bed lmao.

I am so glad that you are making videos now. I remember being 11-14 years old watching guys like you and Jesse and inspiring my young self to get in to custom fabrication and driving my desire to own a Harley. I can’t get enough of your content, it is just as inspiring now as it was 18 years ago. Thank you so much! 🤘

Freaking awesome incredible craftsmanship!!!

I always thought it was odd that it was called the "six gun" when it had five cartridges.

Billy Lane, doing the innovation and designs before most ever thought of it.

I'm stoked that I recently found your channel I use to watch you all the time during the biker build off era you an Jesse James were my favorite to watch it's a lost art of building stuff the way you guys do an it's a past time the caliber of guys that you were hard working badass men keep doing what you love ill be watching

Awesome work your part of what got me into motorcycles watching ur work in the early 2000,s thanks for the content keep it coming

Always loved watching you build man. Tons of skill.

Awesome to see the progress you are truly the best

keep showing making parts even if its small or not to involved. i like hearing the process and understanding the process. very fun to watch you work. just watching the process of you with the lathe is really cool. best biker build off was you and indian larry by far. please keep posting these cool videos.

Man what a lost art no one knows how to work metal anymore, got to meet you quickly at a shop years ago in Orlando when you were building a bike for them and you signed my books for me. It is still one of the coolest things to date for me

I love everything about this bike.

I hope you see all the love for you and what you do Sir. I enjoy this channel thank you.

Beautiful work,great bike.

Glad to see you’re back. Going to have to get one of these caps for my softail when you start making them again. It would be cool to see the exhaust of that bad boy come out through the rear fender like the other bikes you built back in the early 2000’s like the “psycho billy Cadillac”.

Bikes coming together nice !! Keep up the hard work 👊

Crazy how the skill of fabrication, can make wonders. Its also crazy as fuck, that such old machines, can be so precise. AWESOME.

My initial design used .357 magnum shells, which fit six into the oil cap. I wanted to use the .44magnum shells, which only fit five. Likewise, the touring oil caps & handlebar risers fit six .44 shells. Didn't make sense to change the product line name for the oil caps. The US Patent office didn't seem to care

The Billy Lane aesthetic is unique; for me it's the pinnacle of bike design. No one else come close ...

Thats mean brother and thank you for sharing your skill set

Wow, how good is that. Filler cap envy.

Thanks for that. Been telling people for years you did it first. Ha ha ride hard and free billy Lane.!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, sir.

Luv it Bill !!! There is nothing you cant do. Cure my cancer Bill

It's great seeing you on KZread like this.. I met you years ago at a bike show when the Discovery chopper craze was in full swing. It was awesome that you took a few minutes out of your busy day to shake hands and chit chat with an idiot who loves bikes LOL .. You are a straight up class act big daddy ...

Want to wish you nothing but the best, glad to see you making videos on KZread, I’ve always enjoyed seeing how you work and the cool ideas you come up with and the tips and tricks of putting bikes together. I miss the shop in Melbourne, I grew up in vero and would drive up and check out the shop and bikes. That gun slinger cap is nice 👍🏻, going to pick up a 09 Electra glide in the two tone root beer tomorrow. it’s been a couple years since being on a bike and this will be my first Harley, always been to broke to get a bigger bike being 6’3 300 sportsters we’re about the only thing in my price range back in the day and was too damn big for them even though some of them 48’s look pretty cool. Anyways wishing nothing but success and happiness for you and your family, if I make it up to Daytona this year I’ll make sure to check out your area.

Great job. I want one for my '99 FLSTS, last year Evo.

You and Indian Larry were legends of biking world man . Wish to meet u some day love from India

Billy that is awesome man. You designed that cap. That's wicked cool congratulations man. I need to order 30 👍

Awesome stuff Billy. I don't have all the tools to work with but you sure do fuel the passion. I may go looking for some equipment sooner than later. I just wish that the custom stuff could make enough money to survive ... that's what I would be doing. Instead I sit in front of a couple monitors and a keyboard all day dreaming of something better : ). great videos!!

Ill send you a pic on your instagram. Keep the vids coming. Cheers.
