Will The Motor Start Or Grenade Itself..? (2022 Indian Chief Rebuild)

[@chrishansen1323]

The look on your face after success was absolutely worth it!

[@OpenRoader]

CONGRATULATIONS BRANDON! This has been an awesome journey.

[@rxman4453]

Nice job sir. No great job. You need to start up your own Indian repair shop. Let’s go!!!

[@soganoflarider]

Dude you grinding wayyyy harder than that starter ever will! Ain’t the small victories just awesome ✊😜

[@gregorykadok3356]

I know exactly how that roller coaster ride of emotion feels like on motorcycle projects. Great job sticking with it and trouble shooting the problems.

[@edsmith2562]

Nothing better than when a plan comes together!

[@70lamont]

Congrats on your career of being a Top Flight Mechanic. Glad to see you accomplished what you set out to do and nailed it.

[@BrandonBicasso]

Preciate that!

[@Wind--Gypsy]

Decades in the saddle and many frame up builds later.....That look on your face brought me back to some good times. Good on you dude, it's always worth the smiles. I'm a die hard Victory rider. But the 116 chief definitely caught my eye when she came out. Earned yourself another subscriber 👍

[@BrandonBicasso]

Def check them out even if they aren’t for you!

[@jkfsu]

That smile was genuine when the bike started up. Great work Brandon!

[@SLED649]

What a satisfying feeling when they start & run! The efforts of your labor pays off!

[@Curtis7391-t8q]

Congratulations!! Nothing better than hearing an engine run that you just rebuilt! Can’t wait to see the finish product! That bike looks sick already and sounds pissed!

[@tashawroten5895]

Woohoo be proud of yourself! I was grinning almost as hard as you were 😆

[@BrandonBicasso]

😂😂😁😁

[@bmp72]

14:30 at this,point I am always happy my shovels also have a kickstart. Makes it easy to turn it over the motor carefully by hand, and the get the oil going through the system.

[@BrandonBicasso]

Absolutely. Now I know how to get it circulated, will be a cake walk next time. Learned a major tip doing this.

[@ramondelosreyes3056]

It's alive, alive 🤗🤗😁😁

[@willyearlmcgilacutty433]

Awesome job man! you should be proud of yourself. Amazing accomplishment. I have a 111 in my Chieftain, love to see the build of these machines.

[@charlesdowning8405]

This is one of the most relaxing video series that I have ever watched. 😀

[@dinkydotzero]

Thats a great feeling isnt it? I still have my first frame up custom and still smile when I think of its first fire up, get your self a digital temp gauge and check the heat difference between the front and rear jug

[@BrandonBicasso]

That’s worth looking into! After a few days, the headers don’t get as red anymore so they could’ve needed a burn in period.

[@fabieneldridge3414]

Young man you did a great job ! 🏍🇺🇸 Don’t ever stop dreaming !

[@joemann3536]

yeeeee haaaaaa.... she is alive!!! Thanks to Doctor Bicasso. I was holding my breath. BRAVO, 👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Sir

[@cerebro2k]

I normally don’t comment videos, but I really enjoyed seeing you face of joy when finally turned on! Good job man!

[@BrandonBicasso]

I appreciate that! Thank you!

[@richb419]

Hi Brandon, Its nice to see young men actually repairing things again!! Good luck Rich

[@BrandonBicasso]

Thanks Rich!

[@Lucas-yy3dh]

Yeah boiii!!!! Well done, its looking sick btw

[@markpintar7167]

So happy for you Brandon, it was awesome to see your big smile when it started and ran well. Congratulations.

[@BrandonBicasso]

Thanks Mark!

[@pauldowding8185]

Great job! Sounded good. The laugh of joy was fantastic.

[@KevinFreist]

AWESOME !!!!! YOU DID A GREAT JOB! YOUR ATTENTION TO DETAIL PAID YOU IN SPADES.

[@BrandonBicasso]

Thank you Kevin! 😎

[@mohawkdriver4155]

Nice job! I know how satisfying it is for a bike to start and run after it has been down for a long time.

[@BrandonBicasso]

Especially after I had my hands in the bottom of the motor 😂

[@raynavarra]

Congrats brother. Absolutely awesome. Work the problems, solve the problems. Love it.

[@SantiSpeed1]

I don’t have too many friends of my own building cool projects, so I always appreciate somebody like you on KZbin doing the extent of work that you’re doing to the extent of work that I’m used to and I can’t express to you how excited I felt watching that bike fire up for the first time ❤❤❤

[@BrandonBicasso]

Appreciate that! Glad you got value from it! There's more to do!

[@inglouriouswoof]

That’s a hell of a win. Great job dude! I can’t wait to see how this one looks all put together.

[@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA]

it's alive !!!!!!! what a feeling to resurrect it from dead!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@edwardbegiebing6036]

What an incredible moment for you when bike starts ... efforts worth it

[@michaelalexander8501]

As a motorcycle rider and entusiast who can't fix a thing, its beyond impressive to see you rebuilding a bike and troubleshooting problems. Keep up the awesome content! 💪🏿💪🏿

[@BrandonBicasso]

Preciate that Fam! Haha

[@TeensierPython]

Dang it! You made me giggle when it started for the first time. Bravo. Well done!

[@BrandonBicasso]

😅 glad you dropped in and enjoyed it!

[@Jmanji33]

Man that is awesome! It's gotta feel so good to hear that thing start and have it running

[@BrandonBicasso]

It really does. I was worried it would blow internally but it’s healthy and rides 100%.

[@GazderVarun]

Yesss !! That’s amazing ! So happy to see it run ! Paint scheme is on point ! Congratulations!

[@BrandonBicasso]

😎💪🏾

[@Hippy75]

I could feel the success energy through the screen!

[@johncampana86]

You should be proud of yourself that was an amazing accomplishment the bike looks fantastic sounds even better very cool

[@MaxJW-ln4xm]

Congrats !!!!!! And it looks good, too !!! I'm definitely watching to see the end of this one ....

[@MaHu098]

Congratulations my friend 👍🏾💪🏾 best job ever…. Let’s party 🎉 happy chief rider from Germany 🇩🇪

[@sleethmitchell]

fifty some years ago i started my first indian, and i remember THAT look!

[@jasonshortphd]

Heck yea! That is awesome. I know that feeling, it’s the best! You have gotten so far in this build.

[@BrandonBicasso]

All in the fundamentals!

[@sway0221]

Man!!!! I was holding my breath!!! It sounds awesome!!!

[@BrandonBicasso]

You and me both lol

[@haroldcotten1840]

Good job, you've become a regular Indian specialist

[@johnkevinsmith3718]

BICASSO EXCITEMENT!!! CONGRATULATIONS B!!!

[@rozerosenau3619]

You have come along way since your v-rod days keep up the good work and God bless you and your family

[@BrandonBicasso]

Came a long way and got a long way to go!

[@martin319]

CONGRATULATIONS Brandon from across the pond. Sound's Awesome man.

[@BrandonBicasso]

Thanks, Martin 😎✌🏾

[@martin319]

@@BrandonBicasso You’re welcome. Look forward in seeing the bike completed. 👍

[@RobsRidesPA]

The first start after a rebuild is always exciting. Funny that I found your videos just recently. Last year I bought a totalled Indian Chief and rebuilt her and then rode it her out to Sturgis from PA.

[@BrandonBicasso]

Nice, Rob! Thanks for dropping in.

[@therev6689]

Always amazing when you first start it!

[@KeithFiala]

WOW!!! That is SOOO awesome! Congratulations Brandon! You do amazing work and I love taking that journey through your channel with you! Keep up the great work Brother!

[@BrandonBicasso]

Thanks, Keith! There's so much more coming.

[@cornowens]

Congratulations Brandon! Ready for the ride video !

[@DEADxCoOL]

One of the best feelings in the world right there...good job homie!!!

[@BrandonBicasso]

Thanks Fam!

[@DrPhilipNashTV]

So proud of you and may you have greater success in what you are doing.

[@BrandonBicasso]

Thank you, Philip!!

[@jonmccaffrey8810]

Congratulations, B! I've enjoyed your journey with this bike. Keep up the good work.

[@willb1157]

I WANT ONE! I just spent a lovely evening watching you rebuild this motor. I have ridden Harleys over here in Australia, but you never get a fully American machine. The solution to that was Victory Motorcycles, yet they are gone - and very sadly too - because they WERE 100% made in the U.S. Now I look at Indian, I am pretty sure that they are built in the U.S. and crated over. But I would love to rework a wrecker, tho I would probs take the engine down to base metal / lacquer. Thank you Brandon. I'm subbing you now. Cheers mate. Ride free.✌💪

[@AMERICAFIRST54]

It's alive! Good job!

[@billweston6579]

Well done Brandon, I nearly have mine back together so hopefully it starts ok too. Your tip about the selector drum was very helpful and I also found another video on the clutch which showed the order of the different plates. Yours is running like a dream. I’ve had the red exhaust on mine too. Seems normal.

[@BrandonBicasso]

Glad it helped!

[@dnewman3402]

After all of the engine work that you did on this Indian Chief, I know that you really felt a sigh of relief when the engine finally fired up.

[@BrandonBicasso]

I did. Really thought I burned the starter up at one point.

[@chuckspeer2163]

It is a great feeling man I remember my hot rod days

[@johntidey8734]

The look on your face as it started was the look of anyone who has tried his best and won

[@BrandonBicasso]

Gave it everything I had. Glad you enjoyed it to see the result.

[@chuckhanson35]

That’s awesome!! Great accomplishment. We just put Fox shocks on my wife’s Super Chief Limited so if you need some stock shocks we have a pair. Never know what your next build will need.

[@BrandonBicasso]

I appreciate that! Definitely will reach out.

[@ldubb9621]

Great Work Brandon, I knew you would conquer it young bro.

[@BrandonBicasso]

Thanks Fam!

[@domingosdasilvasilva1546]

Good morning my brother, my name is Domingos, I'm Brazilian, I have a motorcycle workshop here and I really enjoy watching your videos, good luck to you

[@BrandonBicasso]

Thank you Domingos! Hope you’re doing well! 🤟🏾

[@ballerblocks]

I know exactly how you felt at that moment, after rebuilding my bike with a Haynes manual and getting it to start and work. That moment was everything.

[@BrandonBicasso]

It sure was. I’m glad I got it right.

[@ballerblocks]

@@BrandonBicasso there welas no other option, the secret I think I the ability to take the initial risk, everything else is a journey of discovery.

[@DM-ve8vb]

CONGRATS !! Gonna be a really fun bike.

[@slim56]

Sounds sweet, the glowing exhaust is normal.

[@RogueCheddar]

That smile on your face reminded me of the first time I had bacon. Beaming from ear to ear. Huzzah!

[@BrandonBicasso]

Had bacon this morning. Almost like the first time all over again.

[@joeybobbie1]

Great Job, it may be running Rich. That would cause the Exhaust to turn Red from the Heat. You’ll definitely have a nice Ride.👍👍

[@derekcollins1972]

Your the man. Awsome job

[@BrandonBicasso]

Thanks Derek!!

[@KittanBachika]

Congrats man, can't wait to see it on the road

[@Mikemanzales]

[@BrandonBicasso]

It's just a giant piece of lego :D

[@Mikemanzales]

@@BrandonBicasso hahaha that’s a good way to look at it
