The frame may still be good

It's just money rebuilt it all you will still come out cheaper than a new bike and you will have a new Maxwell house. Sounds like you have a great teacher brother

Sorry to hear about the cost. When done you will be enjoying the bike for years.

Brother hang in there Your being guided by one hell of a good friend.

Power to weight ratio: lighter wallet, you lose weight because you can't afford food/beer, ... 👍🏻 God bless you. Stay safe!

6 grand!!!???

great videos man im learning a few things too

It’s a bummer but it’s a bunch of bike payments rolled into one essentially for a renewed bike/no financing after that. Vehicles always have costs & then you keep the history instead of trading it in. Priceless is the feeling that you did it right. Keep the faith and rock on 🤘

6 1/2 grand, taking you for a ride.

Gotta consider that dealerships need to mark up pricing in order to keep the doors open….building, utilities, salaries, etc….it is what it is….🤷‍♂️

I know H-D parts and time are expensive, he is also doing some wrenching, but that price so far seems excessive!

Man, when it rains it pours. An old saying I have always heard in the auto repair business when it comes to maintenance is " you can pay now or pay later". So many people now don't do regular maintenance and just trade every couple of years and pass the problem on to the next guy.

The cost may hurt a bit but it'll be done right and not leave you along side the road great vids

I’m a big oil change guy. My Harley never sees 3k before I change all three holes. Everyone says it’s over kill. But I bought my 2010 in 2010 and it’s got 68k when I parked it for winter and aside from upgrades I haven’t done shit to it. I had a evo with 140k when I sold it. And I’m rough on stuff. But maintenance is key. My truck has that auto oil change crap and I prob change my oil 3 times before it cycles once. Oils cheap. Plus it’s kind of fun to do. But I come from motocross where we count our oil intervals in hours. 5-7 hours tops.

This fucking hurts to watch! It’s gonna get better!

that guy makes a good Doc Harley lookalike

Well let's hope it's not over!

I hope you will have a video on it when you put it back together.

Get ready for the ice storm and stay warm.

Didnt the tech say harley built the bikes closer to out of spec new? In previous video? So ur gonna have a better than new bike.....

I'm going through the same shit

Just stick an open primary on it. Be a lot cheaper than fixing whatever. And be cooler

Call DragonMan in Colorado. HE has everything your bike needs... $$$$$$ ChaChing

New motor Altima 110

It would be great if you could find a newer twin cam with a tranny that would bolt in your frame

STILL better than a twinscam.

I said it in the last video…. That bike is going to be stripped completely down to the frame May as well powder coat it

Its only money, you'll never have enough, but when she's up n running you need not.

I don't want to see the price of that repair bill

Be right back, going to do a 3 hole oil change......

Replace the main shaft bearing. Its right there. Foolish when you are this far in to not.

How much is a brand new 80 in Evo?

Holy shit things just keep getting worse. I hope it doesn't come to a empty house to pay for Maxwell house. sleeping on the floor isn't that comfortable. That is a pretty ugly stater. The thing about copper is, once it is run hot for a while it becomes oxidized. Now it can't take the load that it did and eventually you will have less of a load than you had. Hopefully there is not another baby in there.

Well, bad news sorry! It does make for goods KZread though.😭

Oil is the cheapest part on your bike!

If I had a bike in that condition it would be put in a ditch.i feel for you

You have gone this far. Remove the inner primary so you can check the condition of the inner primary bearing and also check the inner primary bearing race for wear and to also check that the inner primary race did not walk in towards the transmission drive gear. At this point you want to make sure the inner primary bearing and race did not get damaged due the metals floating around in the primary. Also check the clutch hub bearing to make sure it did not get damaged due to metal contamination. You have already invested labor this far a few more hours and you could have all the above mentioned items inspected, if all is good just a few seals and you will have piece of mind.

Make it live again

I hate it for you, 6 grand and that is only labor

Can’t be 6 grand just in labor rebuilding the top end of a motor. Dealership rates arnt cheap. But that would be 50 hours labor. Ant no one that slow lol

See if Larry can get you a long block 96 inch or 1 03V twin at this point probably be maybe a little cheaper little longer lasting that one’s going through a lot food for thought🤷🏼‍♂️🤔😎🥃🥃🥃

Phugg it, "fix it" ... Can't take it with you, and it's for your son correct. Leave him something he will have for years to come. Because we all know you will not be replacing it with a new 131.

You seem to be very susceptible and must have a lot of money to waste, is he gonna check wheel bearings too.
