World’s Baddest Harley-Davidson Bad Boy? Boyd Coddinton Swingarm Upgrade Billy Lane Harley Softail

Amazing

Never owned a Harley, but the day I get one this is what I want, looks smooth and nimble. Btw this should have been the Terminators ride on T2.

Can you space a front wheel the same way you done back? Be awsome if you did a video on that🤘🤘

Billy Lane is the man for bike builds , never fails to impress

that air lift is pretty sweet need one of those too

Billy, you are by far the most easy-to-understand bike builder out of them all. You cover everything so well it's like being there in the shop with you lending a hand. You have a demeanour that's like talking with an easy-going friend having a beer at the kitchen table. Thank You for sharing your work, your projects, and your skills with us all.

Imagine complaining about only being able to ride knuckles🤣 just kidding Billy but love the videos! I could watch these all day and love fat boys! That one is nice

Man I get it .i loved these bikes
Never had the opportunity to purchase one in early 2000 .
I bought a 91 fxsts off of a vetran biker . He had it set up like a Heartige .
I took everything off of it. Repainted it and put a softail fender on the bike . Took front fender off . Lowerd the rear of the bike with adjustable shocks. Put andrews cam and a slide kit in factory carb .
This video reminded me of that bike . I have been watching from biker buid off days . I understand you was on a time frame and didn't have time show us what we are getting to see know. Its absolutely amazing the skills you posses and taking the time to share your videos is much appreciated. Glad to see you still on the stage

Im going to make my parts. Said no other man with confidence. Mr.Lane is a true genius who writes his own checks.

A great American, Billy!

I believe gearwrench tools would help him quite a bit

This video was very informative and educational 😀

Bro , once again you are awesome.

how did you bleed the brakes with bleeder on the bottom of the caliper? did you turn the bike upside down?

Dig the knowledge ur puttin down & much appreciated

Nice rear end… bike looks awesome..

Like watching you I ben riding my 1971 shovel 40 years

Billy I really enjoy watching you work on bikes I'm a fan from the 90s you do a great job explaining everything and your a very humble dude thanks for all the good motorcycle memories ML&R

I don’t believe that shit about the disc wheel catching wind

Had a fat boy forever with solid wheels rarely ever felt wind turbulence.

What about the brake pin you said you were going to lengthen it

Oh juhaptergee, just simply magic Billy, maerhagisaryrdyrt

I think you can replace the bearings to 3/4 ?

Enjoy your video good job

Love the bike. Color style everything. Awsome job

It was a lot of money? It is a lot of money

amazing

i simply love that bike. thank you Billy for showing your tricks

@BillyLaneChoppers what rear passenger pegs are you running?

Great job back there , all those new parts gave great image and performance of course . Love it .

Loved the video , that’s a baaad ass bike. I would be proud to own or ride 🤙

What rim width is that?

This will lower the rpms some. Looks great.

Hell of a set up. Nice custom touch!!

Billy love ur broadcast very informative wish you were doin this 30yrs ago you speak clearly and well I've been a fan since biker build off I'm sick now 65 I've lived 35 years longer than I ever thought I would I got 2 bikes sitting unfinished cause of my illnesses it's hard ta watch ya cause it makes me frustrated I can't got out & bust knuckles but THX for what ya do

Hey Billy question? How does the bike trail with 23 ?? I've got a 26 on my FXST but runnin a Pro1 triple tree w/7°of rake on top of the 38°s of rake in frame from H.D. ur neck looks like a FL frame I believe they have 0°s of rake like springer on ur scoot I also runnin 18x5.5 60 spoke rim 180 Metzler 888 tire again Thx man 👌👍👊✌️

Harley, worst bike ever made.

The word “fabrication” was very casually thrown around during the heydays of the build off shows. Certain egomaniacal “assemblers” loftily referred to themselves as “fabricators” when in reality all they did was purchase parts from the Custom Chrome catalog and haphazardly slap them on their gimmicky piles of shit. I couldn’t stand those pompous asses masquerading as bike builders.

Billy is one of the very few names that truly deserve the title of fabricator. His knowledge, craftsmanship, and ingenuity, along with his artistic vision is unsurpassed. A true master of his craft. I don’t do any tooling around whatsoever, but it’s I find it absolutely fascinating to watch him work and see the final product. A true joy.

The irony is that those "cheap" Pans and Knuckles are worth LOTS more than modern HDs these days! If you'd been starting out now, you'd be saying you couldn't afford those, and be riding cheap late models bikes instead! Oh how times have changed! 😁😁😁

Cheers!

But road rash on muffler

Amazing teaching , I’m a backyard mech and loving the tech info
Thank you

Really enjoying your content! You’re bridging that gap for me! You’re absolutely right! it is so hard sourcing parts and gaining info talking to companies now a days?! Happy I have found such great content online to reference. Custom bike world is here to stay. Thanks-

Daayaam!!!…. Such a awesome look……can a 97 wide glide look like this?

I would love to do this stuff Billy but not all of us have a lathe and other machine tools. But yeah it would be hella convenient. Thanks for the video, I appreciate you brotha 🤘🏻

Nice bike but mine eats that up bro. 97 built to hell, v stars, v&h, cutom made seat and controls.

The bad boys never really took off

Is the rear rim 18 x 4.25 with a 140 tire? Did you have to change the belt width or alignment? I’m looking to do the same on a ‘98. Would the ‘98 you did take a 18x5.5? …cause there are tons of those for sale!

Nice ride

My absolute FAVORITE bike Harley ever made, It's the bucket list bike I want, after 26 years in the Army, I told myself I will have one someday... hopefully! Would love to get a sweet Knucklehead one day too, guess I better start playing the lottery, it's the only way I'll get either one! lol
