Now, that's funny!!!!!!!!!!

At 1:42 you mention a shop that makes brake hoses..... My local hydraulic hose shops cannot make brake hoses due to insurance liability issues and possibly some legal/law problems. Now the local shops can make clutch hoses in whatever configuration you might need 🤔. Where you install it is your decision.

You have my full support on making VRod parts. By support, I mean, I'll watch it.

I hate t see the VROD go, it is a work of art and you can ride it. Great content! I did not care for the cab over, it has zero appeal in my opinion. I am glad it was sold and not crushed. More please!

I think you might be on to something replicating VRod parts. Those guys that built that huge VW bug, identical to a stock but 40% larger, pulled every piece off it, digitized it, and then remanufactured parts from the digital blueprints. You could do the same with the VRod.

Damn I dig that thing. Hopefully goes to a good home.

After taking it out for a rip with all the new parts it's totally different from the day I got it... I think the new tires made all the difference but this thing is fun!! 🏍

Another great video from JR. Keep it going

I have to admit I was kind of hoping you could put the cab over in the crusher once it gets fixed but it's actually good to hear you sold it before that could happen.

The first crusher project for the project crusher would have been awesome.

I love the look of the V-Rod. You did great with it.

You've extended the life of that cool bike by another 20 years at least. Nice work. I love that the cab-over sold! I was so sad to hear you might crush it. I'd rather something as classic as that go sit in a field until it finds the right buyer. Even better that it's found a new home.

I suppose they weren't selling very well, but I always thought the VRod was a cool bike. Harley probably should have kept developing it...but that's a moot point now.

@stevem4783

Жыл бұрын

The issue was Harley developed the engine, which was probably the best engine they've ever made, then...they just sat on it for two decades and never did anything with it. It went from 1130cc to 1250, but that was also when the bikes jumped from a 180 rear tire to a 240, so in fact then 1250 models ended up being a hair slower. In 2002 a modern muscle cruiser cranking out 120hp was a big deal, especially since it handled well, sounded great, and looked the part. They could've taken that Revolution motor and made some insanely cool Dynas and Softails, they could've scrapped the excess, put out a barebones bike with big power that could've absolutely ripped, or even made a big-cube version and tested out a new Road King, but they stuck with the Twin Cam, the old Evo in the Sportys, then developed the Milwaukee 8 and left the Revolution hanging then just killed it off, never to be seen again, after 2017. IMO it's where they really screwed up. They had the design to modernize two decades ago. The new Revolution Max is putting out similar performance #s, but it doesn't look, feel, or sound nearly as good as the old Revolution engine.

Reverse bleeding is how Porsche bleeds their brakes/clutches. I almost always bleed clutch lines this way, car brakes can take a while if you don't have a vacuum bleeder but the brakes always feel great after!

@tortron

Жыл бұрын

Difficult motorcycles, I will hang the caliper up off the rafters above the master cylinder.

Not a fan of vacuum bleeding. You loosen the bleeder screw and it starts sucking air through the threads along with the brake fluid from the brake lines.

If I could help Watch JR Goes work on the Harley I would drink the shots of whiskey and cold Bartle Skeets with him and puff on the Cannibus cigars with him and get all schmoked up.

Where did you find the parts?

Why did you sell it? The V-Rod is such a unique Harley Davidson. Some thing's you should just keep..

Never been a fan of the two-wheel motorized stuff. Your v-rod was the exception. It was like the Chrysler Air-flow of the 1930's. Performance aside, it just looked great to these old eyes. Narragansett Bay

Good decisson, great looking bike, like 2vintage channel, so many keepers I'd need a warehouse

there are tons of bikes/cars/mountain-bikes that have semi-unique components that often stop being manufactured long before the items themselves stop being bought and sold... so there may be a market for those unique items in some cases. A beloved classic Harley definitely would be one of them.

We need some more Harley Vrod vids bro

Love the color of that thing.

Where do you sell your stuff.

So you had one problem part that kept you from selling it and now it's all good. Took a bit but you'll have that on those big jobs.

Yayy the Cabover sold 🤘🏽😊

Beautiful bike

Import it to Australia mate..50g here..sexy machine

Glad the cab-over sold, did not want it crushed. Bet your Mom is glad the Harley is gone, something less for her to worry over.
