Motion sensors if they come onto your property after hours. Light them up and record them.

[@Henry.58]

Looks like you have a great Start, Our Friend Josh/Shadetree is In the process of getting his and Flips place together , Now I guess I have to start buying from you both.

[@TheSarge296]

Paint those walls white: that will assist in reflecting those lights to brighten things up!

[@alsims8280]

Tears in my eyes seeing that flag Mista! If that ain't America hangin' on the wall of a man living his American Dream, I don't know what is. Salute!

[@justinweaver8787]

Hope everything goes smoothly and profitable for you. Thank you for your videos.

[@tax905972]

Keypad for your shop doors. So morons won’t think their home, and just go walking into your work area or office while you’re busy.

[@RenegadesGarage]

John Maxwell... Congratulations on your new endeavor. Awesome shop!! I started doing videos a month or so ago. When you get some spare time check them out. The video quality is not on the same level as your videos but I got to start somewhere, right?? I still need a decent camera instead of using my iPhone 6s plus..

[@sderekb1982]

It was cool meeting you and seeing your shop. Thanks for what you do for the motorcycle community.Your one of the few guys I would let work on my scoot.

[@wskeyson3382]

I can see you having mucho successo with your bidness! Did your Harley certs stay with you (warranty purposes)?

[@Legendairy_Angel94]

[@heavymetalchef5132]

Hey hey Brother, shop's looking great!

[@kevinkinney5445]

Hey John, consider installing a 12" wide shelf around the top of your walls for an electric train or slot car track... Have it do a lap everytime a customer pays! 👀

[@sonnytekaawa4029]

Great job m8 ..watching from Aotearoa NEW ZEALAND..living the dream

[@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA]

Good luck with your own place man! Happy for you dude ! Thumbs up 👍🏼

[@onofframp]

Congratulations on your GREAT shop! Having set up a speed shop similar to yours, one thing you can do about the lighting is paint the walls white. Gotta prime that particleboard first, and then regular white will help a lot. Now that I'm retired (yes, I'm a retread), I'm feeling stirrings of jealousy. You have a GREAT shop.

[@luise.r.a.1220]

[@harleystreetglide1576]

Nice, glad to see you went out on your own. I have no good honest shops in my area and I wish your shop was close to me . Good luck i know you will do well.

[@rickyhawkins7407]

Post a link for the flag when you get a chance.

[@pistolpete6321]

The flag looks great!

[@CBRrron1]

The flag looks awesome in the background!!! Nice addition!

[@westcoastmoto2063]

Congratulations!!! Wish I lived locally. Just purchased a 2009 H-D and would definitely have used your services. Wish you the best!!!

[@robertwelsh5723]

So my John is for both issues. Echo and lighting, 2 birds one stone. Thin foam sheeting on the walls. Must be white........( lighting -reflection ). Echo, I believe the foam would be like sound barrier much like a home music studio. Attach with liquid nails cut with knife. Home Depot, Lowes or whatever you around you. By the way congrats and keep up the good work. Impressed.

[@yellow72bronco]

I haven’t been KZbin’n much lately.... Congrats on the new venture!! I’m sure you’ll do great, I’ll order up some swag when the website gets going. Cheers!

[@riobravomultimedia4104]

DIY acoustic panels...also, daylight temperature light bulbs. 5600-6400 kelvin. That way the bay lighting will match the outdoor sun temperature lighting so you could also shoot video with the door open and things aren’t yellow or green or blue which happens when your camera wants to white balance and the color temperature is different.

[@kidmoto22]

Shops coming along great. So happy for you! Can’t wait to have you on FDB podcast again so we can get all the details!

[@irakli9604]

Good luck with your new business John! Greetings from London, UK.

[@nggdsb1665]

John, question..... Do you know of a hydraulic clutch kit available for a sport glide?

[@chukhentcy5642]

John, where are the Dancing Girls? My suggestion for your new shop is Dancing Girls :-). I'm building out my '02 Road King to 95", S&S oil pump, and gear drive 585 cams, if my run out is w/in spec. When I'm road worthy, I'm gonna need to replace my 20 y/o tires. Maybe I can come up from Houston and have you put some good touring white walls on my RK (who's working nick name is SoSlow). Flag is awesome! Best of luck w/ you new shop!

[@vonmcmullen619]

Congrats Mr. Maxwell on your new shop long overdue brother good too hear your BEAUTIFUL STRONG WIFE is supporting your dream with you. Thank you for all of your great Video tips hope to see more in the future. God Bless your Family and Business!

[@JimPoston1]

Here's wish & hoping the very best for You and Your Family in this new chapter of your life John! The American Dream!! It's what made this country GREAT!! God Bless your efforts!

[@TheRegkim0728]

I just purchased a 2013 Road Glide Custom and I am wanting to put LED lights all around. Should I keep the Lights all from the same company or mix it up based upon cost? Do you recommend Hogworkz, Ciro, Custom Dynamics etc. How hard is it to do the wiring ? Any advice much appreciated?

[@reece_bhc1056]

This is great man cant wait to plan a trip to come check it out what is something you still need for the shop?

[@razzrasmussen5773]

Shop is looking better and better. Mae sure to check out Maxwell Motorcycles on Facebook and Instagram. Prayers for all your doing.

[@mikeyd3md]

Congrats on the new shop. Hope the new boss isn’t a d**k. Ha! Just kidding. Now that you are “independent” are you gonna cert in S&S and other after market? Rev tech or S&S sponsorship would be kick-a$$. Godspeed Bro.

[@oregonoutback7779]

John, have you thought about painting all that chip-board a light gray color. Would really help with the lighting in there and improve the video quality. I know, huge job. Should have been done before moving in. But ...... would be a huge improvement. As for the echo, ask some sound people for help. Most sound absorption material doesn't do well in dust creating environments. Maybe cover the walls with light gray carpet. Haha. Kill two birds with one ....... rug ??

[@angelsuarez17]

I’m loving the new space. Congratulations

[@1320Exotic]

Hopefully you could host the back the blue events and work on the Columbus Police bikes, since rumor has it that the Harley Dealer isn't supporting them now. Could be good for you, bad for them. Hope to get up there from Fairburn, Soon...Bike Nights?

[@chrisphilhower6029]

John, You need a POW/MIA Flag as well

Congratulations on your new business. I've been enjoying your videos for a while, but once you hung the U.S. Flag on your wall, I had to subscribe. USMC Semper Fi

[@bighoss5965]

Ass-kickin place you got there, John. Don't worry about the echo in the shop - its not very noticable. And, hey.... its a SHOP!! At some point I hope you get some shop T-shirts for sale. Hey Shadetree is opening his Brap Star community moto garage, and said he's coming to check out your place. Maybe you can get down to check out his. I hope you both succeed to the max. One question - will you be able to get approval to do warranty work on Harleys as an independent technician? Later bro!

[@willnanney7789]

John I’ve got Eufy floodlight camera and battery powered doorbell. Love both of them. No subscriptions. I work for a tech company doing consumer level installs. Would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Keep up the awesome work and congrats on the new shop!!

[@miguelnieves5065]

Congrats for the new shop from miguel TAMPA FLA

[@nokoolaid]

Good luck with the shop. The one thing I would do is light the fuck out of it. Maybe it's a factor of age, but I like bright. There's a lot of LED shop light stuff on Amazon. Another thing is the floor. You might want to finish it. Check out The Humble Mechanic. He just did his shop floor. He actually had a whole garage built, but the floor is nice.

[@KP-ce4yy]

Nice to see it all coming together, well, done. It all takes time😊

[@pairofdogs]

Thanks for putting up the flag, Nam 67-68. Been looking at door bell cameras, liked yours so I ordered one. Keep up the great work!

[@hdweekendwarrior3989]

Have you considered having a loaner bike available for bigger jobs? Doesn’t have to be anything real nice just something for your customers to ride while you fix theirs up...best of luck!

[@stephsandman5473]

check out sound absorbing curtains as a lower-cost method for reverb control. audimute makes them, but i know there are a couple other less expensive companies out there as well. i'm just getting into learning how to ride at 36 years old. wanted to my whole life, but shit kept happening. taking harley MSF class next month. but anyways i also have a background in music and sound, so i just thought i'd share. great vids!

[@careyfriesen6702]

Get a Chamberlain WiFi garage door opener, an extra sensor for bay door 2, and the extra piece for Alexa compatibility. Let’s you open the door from your phone or watch, and tells you if the door is open or closed, AND set alerts if it’s open in the middle of the night or open for too long, whatever. I love this tech stuff, AND your channel. Keep up the good work!

[@hddrifter104]

Cool nothing like having your own shop. Agree with others a light paint on walls will brighten it up. Install motion detectors with lights and night vision security cameras. I use Night Owl monitor and works on cell. Good luck Bro enjoy the videos...Drifter..

[@Manfromnantucket653]

Get some signage. Check in here for shop work👉 . Check in here for service writing🖕. You get the point. Pun intended.

[@wushock92]

I'm way behind on your videos so forgive the late comment. The shop is looking great. Oh, and the American Flag segment, with the great choice of music, gave me goosebumps. Is someone cutting onions?

[@titusvignery9555]

You should make custom Maxwell Motorcycles poker chips like Harley does.

[@DeBa1226]

How about a nice non-slip epoxy flooring throughout the shop??? It’s not expensive.

[@7895Vette]

Hey John, do your self a favor and get set up with Quickbooks for your account program. It will save you accounting head aches. You can have a computer set up in the shop and in the office with quickbooks.

[@FlyKaleb]

John. Great shop. Don't worry about echos and all that bullshit. I subscribed to you because you are the guy that makes great videos about cool shit. I'll never forget the one you talked about doing "extra" things and checking customers bikes you serviced for common issues. A person that cares that much to check, is a person I can watch. You're a good dude. Can't wait to send business your way.

[@ejdtm]

Coming along great 🇺🇸

[@caspar0777]

Nice workshop! Hang some old bikes and stuff on the wall, help against egos. Cheers from France

[@BADSEED82077]

Congratulation's John on the NEW shop and thank you for taking the time to show us COOL S#@T.

[@Jack-yl7cc]

Best of luck with your new business and Congratulations on taking a step that most people would be too afraid of failure to even try to attempt. I would also recommend that you contact your insurance company about getting discounts for having a Security system. Most of them will offer a discount but, they generally will require that the security system be a 24/7 "professionally" monitored system to be able to get that discount. Also, in the future please don't post public videos that detail your security setup(especially video feeds) because the best security is through obscurity. And you need to maintain the illusion that if any one even attempts to do anything at all, they will get caught by the security system. Please also don't fall into the trap of "Security theater"; it's supper easy to do so.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

A Good Start on a New Shop @John Maxwell I find it funny that you don't like loud noises yet so many Harley Riders have to ride with Open Pipes on their slow Heavy no Performace Crusisers.. that look cool .. Puttng the Air Compressor outdoors in the elements to avoid some noise.. Looks like you got the right tools .. Lifts , Tire Balancer tire changer.. I am not sure what @shadetree surgeon is up to, but it looks like he has leased a nice building too. The first thing he did is painted it all nice bright colors.. You should have painted all of thise Wood Walls White before you moved any equiptment in .. White really helps to refelct the Light in your Shop.. Don't worry about a little Noice just turn up the Radio a little Louder..

[@Schnot]

If you're going to drill big holes for mounting the equipment to the floor, get a Rotary Hammer Drill. Works WAY better than that crappy hammer drill when you're drilling bigger holes. Harbor Freight makes a great one for a great price. Or you can rent them from most rental places.

[@SpiffMcFluff]

Dude! Your shop rocks! Congratulations again, mate!

[@BaggerBro]

At 8:16 i caught a tear ... fuck yes.... helps seeing patriotic people in these dark times.

[@SixShooter14]

The echo isn't that bad. For the table vids, you could use the moving blankets to form a room in the corner to improve sound and lighting when you're doing that kind of stuff. I'd suggest some rubber or foam work mats around the lifts and work areas. Once you've got the place stocked with equipment and product it'll be better and you can fill the gaps with sound deadening panels

[@travist7912]

Dude! Cabinets full of HD service manuals. What a beautiful thing

[@heavymetalchef5132]

827 miles from my house to your shop!

[@heavymetalchef5132]

Definitely need a fairing before I attempt that ride, not gonna be comfortable on a sportster 48 1200..

[@tygoonfamilytygoon1842]

What's up John, love the channel, I have a question unrelated to this video. I have a 2020 street glide special with the stupid traction control system. I. Put on a abs 21 and the bike has gone nuts. My red security light coming on, the abs, and traction control light. I've called my local hd and no help. Please if you can give me some information I've had harley install the abs bearings, I've checked the abs wire all intact, I'm just stumped I've cleared the codes still nothing please helppppp
