    Hi Guy, Harley's are not my thing at all, but that's ok, you like them. I did however like your informal chat about your lovely bike and all the things that you have done to make it yours. Very enjoyable, thank you. Take care Mate.👍

    Very nice job there Guy. I think the standard shocks would be about 14", so yours are slammed. It's great fun making stuff for your bike. 👍

    One of the few H-Ds I actually like the look of - simple, practical, powerful. Great job Guy. 👍😎❤️✅

    Good stuff thanks! Great DIY spirit! I have a 73 XLH for about 15 years. A treat to tinker with and a reliable old steed.

    It’s looking really good. That’s the style of Harley I would do, no ape hangers and no feet forward. Excellent for blatting around on. Looking forward to seeing the end result.
    As for the sixpence, I wondered where that had gone, glad you made use of it.
    Carry on what!👍🏻

    Frame made from pig iron.
    On the other hand, it looks like someone made a good job of that concreting.

  • @yoso585
    @yoso585 Před 11 měsíci

    Fantastic looking machine. Perhaps just a small amount of baffle batting will resolve things well enough for the coppers while maintaining a nice note.

    Hi guy just got a cd200 love the bike it's a 81 model and have found it holds it rebs when throttling off so watching your video you recommend putting a Chinese carb on ? Are you still happy with yours ? Cheers,,terryfred

  • @harryodum5598
    @harryodum5598 Před 3 měsíci

    If it’s electron ignition, it is a 1979 roadster. Very rare bike I have one Why did you put points on that bike? I believe your bike has been made to runoff electronic ignition. Does your frame number match your motor number? To be a true 79 frame and the motor had the same numbers. You can buy the electronic ignition for that here in the US They’re not very expensive and you don’t have to mess with points Did it come with points?

    Leave the fishtails off. Looks much more clean without them.

    @wokeybrokey8006 Před 4 měsíci

    Looks great without the fan tails….never understood why anyone likes them. Curious why you did not stick with electronic ignition?
