“…but I don’t have a mill - I just have this little garage and the tools that I’ve got.” The humility and grace with which you carry yourself, is contagious. And what you have done with that - reaching the highest peak of custom bike-building, is very admirable. From down on the coast ~ Ride Forever! 🦅

[@RegenerateCycles]

Thank you. I’m just doing as much as I can with what I’ve got. I’m not gonna lie though, I do really need a mill. Might have to put it in the back yard 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

[@MidnightExpressMC]

@@RegenerateCycles Well, maybe get the Bridgeport after you expand the garage towards the rear 👍😎

[@itsmytimeletsgo]

Should be an interesting series. Should show people what it takes to build a bike from the ground up. Keep it up!

[@RegenerateCycles]

Thank you, we tried to capture a little of it. It’s all unfolding with every edit.

[@theaverage7550]

Great video! Looking forward to the next one 👍

[@BrandonZippy-b4d]

I’ve had bikes, been around them, but have always wanted to build my own someday. I like how you explain what you’re doing. Really admire the end products you’ve built and can’t wait to keep learning from you. Giving me hope I can build one myself one day.

[@markseek5729]

Likewise great to learn from talented humble builders

[@RegenerateCycles]

Go for it! You can if you just get started. Thank you for the support 🙏🏼

[@johndragon3900]

Boy would i like to have a flathead again.

[@boozytheclown]

so rad

[@JacktheKnife883]

Was awesome seeing some of the more intricate steps to building a bike. Really liked the process of simply putting the front end on the frame with the ball bearings. Did you end up showing her at Born Free?

[@RegenerateCycles]

Hello, thank you. Yes, I built the bike as an invited builder for born free. So it had to be there. It has been a fun one.

[@DESUREMUSIC]

So sick!

[@RegenerateCycles]

Thanks fucker !! ❤️

[@youngyarnzy777]

Sick!

[@terrymassey7619]

Great video! Well produced! I dig your shop too. What editing program do you use?

[@RegenerateCycles]

I’m not sure what program Dylan uses, but possibly after effects. Dylan, chime in….

[@RegenerateCycles]

Adobe for editing (pp) camera is a7siii with sigma 24-70! -Dylan

[@HJG1964]

1940 U models with 11 fin cylinders are 74 cu. in. Unless you bored out the 74 inch cylinders to 80 inch?

[@owenluhm1709]

Hi Ryan! What frame are you using here?

[@RegenerateCycles]

Hi, halfway into the episode I change out the frame and engine, but the first one is an original 1940early 1941 Harley flathead/knucklhead frame. The frame I switch to is an aftermarket 1940 Harley flathead/knucklehead frame. I wanted to keep the oem frame with the 41 knuckle, and I was planning to cut some things off and modify the frame for the bike I was building, so the aftermarket frame was a better call for it.
