I wish every mechanic was as honest and detailed as you are 👍

Good luck on your new venture! Anyone with enough sack to even attempt to start their own business has my respect. Cant wait to watch you grow as a businessman 🕴

John, this is one of your best. It’s serious and business like with lots of information. Thanks and keep them coming.

Living in Harris county I’m glad to know I can take my Harley to someone if I need!

Absolutely love how you"listen" to the bike. So many Tech's just do the once around and call it good. A well trained ear and but in the seat is worth a lot more then a book smart tech.

I heard that somtimes the full service will be done by a trainee . And will be final checked by a real tech. The service bill is " original Harley davidson ".

Great video John, thanks for sharing the process and your thoughts as you go 😎🤙🏻

Great video buddy!! Keep up the great work and stay safe!!!

Loving this. Can't wait for more John, kudos.

Great video!! Also, got my shirts yesterday. They are awesome. Thanks again!!

Dude I'm loving this energy this is great I can definitely tell your happy man

Awesome. Looks like things are going pretty well. Blessings to ya and keep those cameras rollin.

Awesome new motorcycle shop man! I love seeing people get out there and take good solid risks like this. It's inspiring!

John, I like the new relaxed John. I think you will do very well with your shop just judging by the way you seem to just love having your own place. Loving the new videos

Hey John, looks like your shop is coming along nicely. Great video, as usual’

As always,enjoyed the video,...and the bike, part of this old mans bucket list!

Lookin like things are good so far man congrats on the biz and best of luck to you!

Love the t-shirt ... motorcycle missions rocks. Thanks John for all your work.

Absolutely great vid big John. I have the same bike and same rattle. Will now check my stand. Best of luck for the future man 👍👍👍 three dirty thumbs for ya

Spent over 10 years in Columbus and ft Benning. Love the videos of you riding around town. Throwback for me, thank you!

Awesome video, appreciate talking through the check. It's nice to see a business owner and mechanic who has passion for what they do. I know when I get home I still need to get my belt tension adjust bc I had the squeal when braking/slowing.

Good job buddy, love the spoke "pinging",,,, I used to do that on every service I did. Also when I started in business, consignment was a big part of it. Ocala Fl.

Thanks John, great information as usual. I just bought a 2018 Heritage Softail and upgraded to a Stage 1, Love it .....great bike.

Its great watching you work on bikes again.

Glad I found you here, man! I have a 2020 Heritage S, so I enjoyed watching this video. I wish you all the best with your shop too!

God do I love the heritage’s... I’ve got a CVO streetglide and still feel warm and fuzzy about the heritage.. it’s just sooo classic

Hey John love the video and that is a sweet bike! kep them coming ,me n my son are planning a road trip next spring and planning to swing by and say hey dude , we really enjoy your videos .

Good note on the Spark Plugs. About to have my 2018 Soft Tail serviced, and will mention that. Looking good and happy in the new VLogs, keep it up!

Definitely learned some things .... appreciate your sense of humor as well

Didn’t realize you had your own place ... Congratulations and good luck brother !! Love your videos

Thanks John. Good pre-ride information.

Great to see the shop full John

Nice keep up the good work John!

Good stuff man. Awesome that you have you own shop now and branching out in selling motorcycles.

Great looking bike and appreciate the education on the pre ride inspection brother.

John, First, good luck with the new shop. Nice video. Funny how my 2018 FLHC had two of the same issues. Saddlebag rattle was because one of the bolt holes was not tapped through, and the bold did not tighten against the bag all the way. I tapped the hole the rest of the way, and the bolt now seats fine. The other was the clip at the bottom end of the side stand came off. Funny how some things just happen. Keep up the videos.

Congrats on the new business!!

First off congratulations on your shop. Second thanks for the video as always very informative.

Best of luck on your new endeavors!!

Awesome video!! Keep up the good work sir!!

Good day sir from Victoria B.C. I am a retired tech myself and I got a kick out of this video. Dry squeaky foot pegs were always my pet peeve, especially foot boards with the detent ball. Poor techs always seem to miss those. Good on you for opening your own shop. Good luck to you John, I enjoy your humble style.

Love the intro, great video keep it up John.

Never thought to check the kickstand. Attention to detail. Nice 👍

thanks for the head/wheel bearing tips, have recently brought a fat bob which had sat for 5 years. making some strange noises now and again. will be able to at least narrow things down👍

Thanks for sharing all the tips.

About to do my weekly once over on mine before I leave for work.

Wishing you great success!!

The exhaust on this bike is the exact one on my 2010 Heritage. American Custom Exhaust. I love the slip-ons. They take you original slip ons and gut them and repack the inter walls of the muffler. I think the best sound of any pipes you can get Unlike the dealer pushed Rinehart and other popular exhaust that sound like tin cans. I also kept the stock intake cover on my Heritage with a state II cam change.

Best Harley mechanic in the net. Wish I lived nearby to get you to take care of my road glide.

First thing, the audio on your new helmet set up is WAY better. And boy buddy, if that bike gets a Big Dirty Thumb's Up, you KNOW it's a good deal! Love the channel (and the new shop), brother. Eric, Kissimmee, Fl.

Congrats and best wishes with the new business John.

good luck with your new business...wishing you great success.

Love your work John.

Good job John. And congratulations on your business..someday I'll leave Florida and get you to service my 2017 Sportster low t..good luck

Nice video John, shop looks great too. Spoke tap was interesting, I'd like to see a video of one that sounded off and how you adjust it.

Dirty thumbs up for Maxwell Motorcycles!

Pretty awesome this guy has his own business now. Happy for em

Thank you sir for your educational videos I’m a new rider need all the help

You are well known as a good mechanic and should do great congratulations on your new business 👍

Hey man I’d rather go to someone like you instead of going to an incompetent dealer whose service manager tries to tell me the USB port on my 2019 Heritage isn’t a factory installed option so I have to call the salesman and have him go back and explain to the service manager it’s indeed a factory part and since it’s not working it’s a warranty repair.

This comment is exactly why I go to a vtwin specialist vs the Harley dealership.

Pre ride inspections is almost a must with Harley’s. Not sure about the M8’s as they are way smoother but Twinkie’s and back like to shake, rattle and roll things loose. Blue loctite, you’re my best friend. Great video John.

Love what you do man! You doing a podcast would be rad!

It's not 2020s style, it's Maxwell's style, all great check's John, it's nice to see you having your own shop brother, ride safe and keep the kneese in the breeze 👍🏼💯

Congratulations keep up the good work hope to see you one day God bless

Going over basics always good

The jiffy stand is sort of important. Thanks for all the useful information. You need to give some old school sportsters some love!!! Still looking forward to your lift review and why you picked it over another Handy lift.

JM thanks for the tip on the cap rattle. Dealer couldn't find or claimed ignorance of the problem! 2019 FLFBS SE4...OG

Maxwell Rocks!

Great job as usual mate, cracking tips. ✌️

I want it!! PS: good luck on the new shop!

Enjoying your videos Brother😎👍🏽

Ah! Well done mate, great to see! 🥂

That helmet's dope man, looks great with that visor

Solve the bag rattle with a small zip tie around the bag mounting disc, beside the bag fork. Put it on with the bag mounted.

I change plugs and wires every spring when I do the seasonal service which covers the entire bike, even screws holding the brake/ tail lens.

So glad you have your own place now, John. No more Chattapooga HD lol

Had the gas cap rattle on my 18 Low Rider. Took a hammer and punch and fixed it .

Great video info! Keep up the great work!

Well done brother love your stuff 💪

I really love the new black out Heritage.

Sadly, i just sold my Heritage yesterday. Wife had a hard time being a pillion on a cruiser. Looks like a new bike for my solo riding may be on the horizon. I took great care of that bike and the new owner should be very happy!

@Jack-yl7cc

That would have just given me an excuse to replace the pillion seat with a luggage rack, and add a drivers backrest. Although since you already sold your old bike, the Road King is a nice replacement option; just need to remove that ridiculously large wind screen and add highway pegs. Also need to make sure you get a version with cruise control; that rates fairly high on my nice to have list for road trips.

Good luck and nice shop

Love your video's John. Super excited to see you starting your own shop. At 5:20 when you start checking that rear tire. It looks like the tire is cupping when you spin it. It could be a trick of the light at the bottom of the wheel. But it look weird. I wish I had a tech/shop close to me. That was as Thorough as you are! Keep up the great my Dude.

I like your channel. My Heritage is running so good.

That intro was dope

09 FXSTC kick stand bushings broke apart about 15k ago. Cheap to repair, put grease in them. Hardest part was hooking the #@%^$ spring back up. Ride safe.

My pre ride check (that's what I call it) depends on how far I'm going. Less than 10 miles - If it starts that's it, off I go. If I'm actually going for a ride, I check all the lights, all the switches, levers, pedals, oil level, tire pressure, horn, leaks on forks and shocks, engine, trans and primary leaks, lastly look for loose nuts and bolts, then I'm off.

Oh my god, i wish i could send my bike to you to get serviced...you amazing with your detailing for a pre-ride inspection. My bike doesn't hold a charge, i cleaned my carb and did a rebuild, changed my spark plugs, charged my battery, the bike turns on over and runs but the moment i go to ride it, it turns off.

Hey John, good to see you stepping out of the dealership, and into your own thing! "Good luck!" 5 fluids to check... Engine, Trans, and Primary ofcourse.. But also the brakes. They just about all use fluid now days. Front and back! And lastly... Forks! Front forks have a fluid in them, that is similar to hydrolic oil. And hey! I'm just inviting you to check out the video on "Oil Purge," on "Delboy's Garage," channel. By purging the old oil from the oiling system, you get like, another quart of old, dirty oil, from the system, besides just the tank and filter... I think it's worth th quart of clean oil more, to KNOW, you got clean oil throughout the entire system...

Can’t wait for the fxr to get this treatment 😂

Glad to see your off on a good start ..... I will go to a mom and pops place before a dealer if I can help it

Do it. Worked @ Harley York under amf, laid off when new owners bought out amf. Union shop. Had my own water well business after 10 years of machining @ h-d, b&d. Got an 81 super glide with a rebate and co. employee discount for about 4k new, leftover. Was a year old when I got it. You will find as a business owner, feast and famon as far as money. Nothing like being your own boss
