so i didnt watch everything, just the last one, and skipped through most of it..but i caught the part where he starts taking off the last wheel..
"It's amazing how quickly the wheel comes off".. then it cuts to him dropping the wheel out, and next frame the new tire is installed..
they left out about 8 minutes of "mother f's" and "G.D. rear brake caliper's in the G.D. way!" haha

yep. ive done this several times all by my lonesome out in the garage.its certainly not the most difficult thing in the world,but they don't float back in there on butterfly wings either.

That's funny Sgt Jim, of course if I filmed the entire 20mins of fighting with the caliper you would have clicked off or fell a sleep. Yes the power of editing is pretty awesome!
Dare to dream cocky, but I'll take that as a compliment.
Thanks Dan, and thanks for watching!
Episode 6 "Burly brand bars" comes out tonight at 5pm eastern.
Lastly thanks to Izzo and the hdforums team for allowing me to share with you all.
If you subscribe to my youtube channel you will get notified when I release an episode.
Cheers

I subscribed (but that means you have to subscribe to my channel too! Also thought about doing something similar with my build - making videos as I go, but I don't have that kind of time. Working full time, in school full time, and wedding planning... Trying to build a Harley in a tiny shop takes up the rest of whatever free time I've got left! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your build.
I watched these yesterday and you're doing a nice job. I especially liked the Shotgun Shock install video. I think that may have given me the motivation to pull the trigger for my 08 Deluxe. As soon as J.D. gets my PM I should be on may way.
Looking forward to the next vids from you. Enjoy your build!
