Why? His already on screen.

Cable is garbage by nature. KZfaq is fine. To make money on cable one has to pander to idiots/non-mechanics. Better to have videos wrenches can enjoy and everyone else can go fap to Kardashians or whatever.

I said exactly what you wrote before I seen it. Ive spent to much time and money on my bikes just to sell them for a new one every 4-5 years.

Things are not what they used to be .006" runout on older bikes would be criminal.i think harley say up to +.012" is acceptable.If someone with a shovel pan knuckle or flattie had that i would say they need new flywheels..Also 80 000 miles is not a long life from an engine if its well maintained and not beaten up on as this one certainly was not!!! Things are not what they used to be.Company went backwards in engines from end of evo era. Having said that the clientele that harley attracts now seem to have little respect for what is still an agricultural design.(Thats why we love em!)and 4 some reason think its fun to beat up on them.The big twin flatties in my opinion are the best bikes harley EVER made.Built even half decent they last near forever.

I agree! It doesn't get boring that way! N.W. Ga. here!

WELL SAID , I agree totally !

Ya Kevin needs to start the Speed Channel again and put his Baxters Garage twist on it....Saturday mornings,,,

Alot of guys tear them down way before 50k. The heat kills everything. They should have fans on them. I have a 2012 streetglide with nearly 70k. Replaced everything in the cam chest at 56k. Put in nice cams and now has 98.7 h.p. and 116 ftlbs of tourque. What a jump in power. Top end was not touched. Still doesn't use much oil. Maybe 1/2 quart between 3k oci

thank you sir.

Glad your Dyna is happy. Mine is a '13 with only 45,000, hope I get at least your miles.

Thank you sir. And this isnt his only bike....he rides like crazy.

all the best with your continued recovery. thank you sir! see you then!

Right on. Thank you sir!

My pleasure!. Thank you!

@Thomas B While no bike engine is hard to work on the garbage timing chest nonsense (purely to facilitate semi-automated engine assembly, see factory videos) HD inflicted on customers was only to save the MoCo a few dollars in assembly labor. HD stopped being a "premium" quality engine when Evo ended (and those had their share of problems).

thank you sir

Thank you sir. It's the season for sure.

youre welcome! Thank you!

Thanks Chuck!

thank you jo. good to be back.

Thank you sir.

Mitchell take care of yourself brother we will keep you in our prayers. Sincerely, Kevin and Julia Shelton.😎❤👍🏻

thank you Tom!

thank you!

im not impressed either...but its not as bad as some ive seen with much lower miles. None has been spent other than cam plate and pump.

Are there more "robust" connecting-rod races out there?

Probably due to it being a vtwin and the vibrations. The goldwings 6 cylinder is super smooth

Honda lifespan>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Harley lifespan.

I'm a Harley rider but l must admit the Goldwing is the BEST touring bike out there...but you really can't compare the 2 motors....different animals

Frankly I am appalled that such a brand new motor would go out with 80,000 miles on it my last Beamer had half a million on it before the car took it out I have a half a million miles on my Triumph TR6 that I've had for 40 years I have a 99 Sportster 883 that has 350 thousand miles on it engine runs good my Ural sidecar outfit at 40,000 miles and I put on it in the six years that I've had it it was number three out of the four bikes that I had on the road for many years now that I am not working I'm retired I don't need to have spare motorcycles to make sure I get to work I'm sure I will be able to have many more miles on my you're all I've just done basic maintenance to it the two-piece driveshaft kid, part no Harley Shop with touch it even though it was a simple job so I had to do it myself with the owner's manual some help from the dealer on the phone and my buddies garage around the corner from my house Easter morning the cylinder broke from the base on the way to services bought a new cylinder piston rings gaskets and seals and just put it back together and it's fine and dandy Harley's last good motor with the Evolution motor the Evolution motor powered Sportster is there a most reliable bike probably why it's discontinued you would think on a big twin that cost so bloody much that the motor would last forever but then it's not an airhead BMW

Thank you sir.

I'd love to hear this also.

Yup… interested here too

been missing it too bud. thank you !

I totally agree with you. That is why I sold all my Harleys.

👍

I thought the same thing......80,000 miles is just broken in for a Goldwing. They can go 300,000 miles if properly cared for.

My xs 1100 1978 did 150 000 plus choper i also had a side car outfit 100 000 plus did rebore that i ran it from spain on 3cylinders not recomended uk biker

I want to hear all about this bike. And I will surely be watching for the Skunkerize for sure.

What year Twin Cam??

Might be a dumb question, but what does skunking mean? Lol

@@jonnymac8925 Kevin's garage has a program called skunkworks. They rebuild the engine however the customer wants it. IE high performance or longevity

Thank you sir! That is correct. Calling you shortly.

Hello Kevin, thank you for contacting me and checking the trike out. I do hope you can meet me at your shop on Monday the 16th to discuss the build (I have a lot to talk with you about!).

Hope you enjoy!Thank you.

thanks John

If you remember 99-2005 the twin am was having all sorts of problems as well. It happens with every new engine they put out. No different with the m8 sadly

I trust my 100 hp shovelhead to take me anywhere. It scares me to take my pos twin cam 10 miles from home.

You don't have to rebuild them. You can run them til they grenade. Everything is a wear item at some point. We are spoiled today with how long engines last. In the 70s by the time you paid off a vehicle in 4 years it was junk. Now they can easily last 20 years. I agree that harley could build them better. The heat issue is a big problem. My 12' came with a oil cooler so maybe that helped mine survive. I really want to put fans on the jugs. These summers are so hot and getting in traffic is a killer.

thank you!

Thank you very much!

Honda Civicwing.

i change my oil every 20 or 30 thousand miles,if it needs it or not

@@omarsalgado9715 wait I didn't know Honda Civic had flat 6 cylinder engine since when 😂

I had over 300,000 on a Goldwing before I sold it.

Who ares. The Wing goes and goes.
