I like it. Because, no distracting background music, just good fabrication and banter!

I'm an old guy and all you hear now a day's is about how all the skilled craftsmen are gone and nobody cares. You really put that myth to bed. Thanks, I really enjoyed that!

Billy, you can calmly explain everything so fluently!! You are the best guy to watch and listen to, hands down!!! Rock on OLD SCHOOL BROTHER!!

Without having seen this video, I wouldn't have thought this was possible. Nice craftsmanship!!!

Brilliantly explained process. What a naturally great teacher you are. This is how a generation motivates the next. Inspiring 👏

Billy you are definitely the Doctor Frankenstein of the motorcycle world brother. That was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to see what you show us next unbelievable. You take care and stay safe my brother.

I am a complete noob to machining, but man to see you explain the process and the tooling. I would have thought that was a total loss. What is this planet going to do when there are no more men left to do this kind of heavy lifting.... great work!

Enjoyed the video from start to finish! Being able to look over your shoulder and learn is really a highpoint in my day. Thanks!

I have so much respect for people without the words "I can't" in their vocabulary. Nice job. Thanks for taking us along.

Amazing work Billy! Your idea on keeping the castings bolted together really paid off! Every welder knows how hard it is to work on cast metals! I really hope the next generation takes heed to all your knowledge and your skills! Great job!!!

Thank you for taking the time to put this video together Billy! What an amazing process from a true craftsman. I can’t even imagine how much time you have in this repair, but that old knuckle being back together for another generation or two to appreciate is priceless!

I started watching as a skeptic and now I'm just plain impressed.

Billy these videos are a window into your world and its like watching a master at work. Your knowledge and talent is seemingly endless and I for one am incredibly thankful to you for sharing your skills knowledge and artistry.

Over the years I've come to learn that this type of skill and level of experience has to come from a real craftsman.

Billy you are a master craftsman. Thanks for bringing this one back from the grave.

wow! As someone who knows nothing about mechanics or machining I can still appreciate this! A true master at your craft.

I can’t believe I just watched this,just amazing,he just knows his craft.

I have nothing but mad respect from me to you, Billy

Bro your really the man , I don’t know anyone who would consider doing that so confidently. I think it’s just awesome to see someone just in and is not scared to just go for it! Your a master craftsman for sure!

Excellent description…”welding is just a casting without a mold”… Nice….Cheers from Alaska AK49 👊🇺🇸👊

Fantastic work, that’s another engine you’ve saved from the motorcycle graveyard!!

I remember watching Billy in biker build off yearssss back. Glad to see he’s still putting in work with the metal. always such a cool dude and amazing work 💪💪

Billy ive never seen anyone operate a Bridgeport like you. You're an old school machine master!

Super cool another knucklehead on the road. Fantastic work

Great video! Concise explanations before the actual operation, no blah blah talk like some other other you-tubers. To bad there aren’t too many others that can do this type of work.

Man, if I hadn't seen that with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it! Those cases were junk! And you fixed that huge window in them, brought them back to life!!!

This is like watching a doctor operating on a patient with the utmost patience using the knowledge of a master that is only granted to one through time. Paging Dr. Lane. Awesome video dude, thanks.

You sir are equal parts artist, machinist, mechanic and mad man! Great work brother! 👍🏻👍🏻

100% when you love what u do! Thank you for the video

MR LANE you are a GREAT CRAFTSMAN AND TO ME YOU BUILD THE MOST BAD ASS MACHINES OF ALL BUILDERS

As an 19 year old I landed my first real job at Bethlehem steel company. After awhile of being brutalized into the trades I was assigned light duty work maintaining a stress relief machine way out in the giant machine shop where they machine ship propeller shafts. Using induction coils they would heat the screw end and relieve the stress and arc weld and fill the grooves . They would gantry the shafts to a huge lathe and turn the shaft down to smooth and re machine for prop placement. I loved to watch the blue coils peel off onto the floor as I smoked a joint. I love to watch you work the impossible as well. By the way, I’m 64 now.

Brilliant stuff. So well narrated also. You always know when people really know what they’re talking about when you don’t get all the unnecessary bullshit. Nice one Billy 👌

Billy amazing repair! Great job and creativity

Man Billy, we have missed you on TV sharing your knowledge of motorcycles and how they work. Wish they would put you back on TV, until then thanks and God bless you my friend!!!!!!!

I left the chopper scene for many years and just came across this video. Glad to see you're still out here doing amazing work.

Thank you Dr. Lane for taking the time to making a detailed instructional video. Really nice work.

Billy, you are the man! I will work for you, for free, any day and time just to learn from you! Learned a ton watching this video! Thank you!

Patience, Persistence and Perseverance truly does pay off. Beautiful job Bill. Lots of hours work but the end result I think is worth the effort. Me I really appreciate the ideal that if someone made it in the first place, it can be repaired. Period!

No words man. You are the real deal. Watching you do this stuff still blows me away, and I've been following ya since the build off day. Amazing talent.

Billy and Larry are on another level of skill and ingenuity that are an artform of vision that so rare!!! Godspeed Billy, RIP Larry, bikeriders of the highest level!!!!!

Damn Billy, you are gifted.That Knuckle you can't even tell.I wish I lived near your shop .Great vidieo I enjoyed it.

Keeping these old girls alive

Billy you are one of the most talented individuals I have ever seen. I've never seen anyone attempt to do that let alone make it come out looking as if it never happened you have skills that are very rare.

Mind-blowing stuff. I'm not kidding , I would never believed that case could ever be fixed .This is what happens to a guy who let life pass him by, and don't know shit. Thanks Billy I enjoy all your stuff. Take Care .

Billy, I'm blown away by your craftsmanship, I was friggin hypnotized watching this magic happen. WOW!!

Billy a true American Master craft. We love your work.

I lost my dad 1 week ago. . . He was an mod engineer and watching your video brought back great memories of watching his work just like you. I have great respect for engineers . . .the time , effort and years of experience and knowledge is too overlooked for those who say "can you just do this " or " why is it taking so long" or "how much ? " beautiful work billy.

Incredible work and talent!! Nice job Billy!

any repair on that damaged casing will be done my a MAGICIAN with GODLY hands = well done sir !

Enjoying my first cup of coffee and watching the master at work restoring the knucklehead cases. Good stuff! Thanks!

We are impressed. Your depth of skills seems amazing. I wonder how many people looked at that engine and kept walking?

Kick-ass as usual. Loved seeing you work back in the day when Indian Larry was still around.

That’s one excellent repair, great video, I was always told cases were never repairable, you’ve definately proved everyone wrong. Gotta find right person. !!!

Amazed by your work. I just saw you Jessie, and Paul Senior are going to do a show together. I look forward to becoming a member. If I had to summarize your philosophies, it would be this- The three of y’all are tasked with building a bracket. Billy jumps in the dumpster, finds a piece of metal and says I can make this work, massages the metal and does so. Jessie says I will forge it from scratch and does so. Paul Senior says let me call XXXXXX company. He owes us a favor. We will get him to build the bracket. And he does so. In the 321. Remember your shop on US-1. Thanks for doing us proud! 👍

I loved every second of this video! Billy you are an inspiration!!!!!!

I would hope no one doubts your metal working abilities. You are one of the best in the world.

Every choice was quite clever. The machining seemed clunky but it is seemingly solid. Great techniques to put that Knuck back into service. Bravo.

Another live motor... My respect from the bottom of my heart!

I'm so glad you made it back to the motorcycle industry Billy been following you since Biker Buildoff

Billy lane , master mechanic , your knowledge is amazing , you remind me of the professor's I watched work on patients , sir you are good

Very cool! Very impressive! An example of why we need to encourage young people to embrace the trades. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

You are truly an artist who took a problem. Solved it and made a better product for your efforts Incredible.😊😊😊

Practical skills never die, you can tap coarse emory sand paper stippling on fresh weld to get close to factory or rough diamond dremel tip. Thanks for taking the time to film,

Is so cool seeing you still at it, I grew up in a house full of enthusiasts we used to watch you on the build offs!

That was a phenomenal displacement of a art , welding , and machines at work. After all these years it's obvious the love you have for bikes and what you do.. It's pretty amazing to get watch you work and explain every detail. I am not a machines . But pretty sure your the only one that could pull that off. God Bless man and keep up the good work

This is the type of videos I look for to watch,this is content🤘

God damn brother, that was like magic! Can’t believe how great the end result came out.

You make Mike Rowe proud. Love watching a Master work. Thank you for sharing your gift & knowledge of HD machinery.

Thank you for saving a great part of motorcycle history.

Billy you’re a Dr. and an artist.

nothing short of amazing! love the innovation and "never a job to big enough" attitude! you truly are talented and hardworking person Billy! too sad that this generation is loosing this.. keep on inspiring!.

Great GREAT video showing a master class level of expertise. As much as watching you work is educational, your detailed explanation is profoundly enlightening. "This is a casting. And welding is just casting done without a mold."

Man i love watching a master at his craft doing what he does!

I've done heavy construction most of my life and nothing in shop impresses me more than a great welder it's such a fine art requires a keen eye and steady hand. Much respect beautiful work.

Always loved your work. Shook your hand and spoke with you for a few minutes many years ago near Daytona. Its great to see you doing your thing again and sharing your knowledge. Godspeed, Brother.

Wow, the skill set and having the right tools, equipment , and most of all knowledge. Just amazing how you do this . Saved another classic .

Huge Flex Bro..... Always a pleasure to watch someone do what I would have thought was the impossible.

Awesome job, great to see old motors being saved instead of junked

Billy is the best bike builder , just gave a knucklehead another life

I’ve learned more from your genius and superb craftsmanship than other builder! Thank you sir for sharing you knowledge and super talent! Your my hero dude !!!!!
