Came for the knowledge tips and tricks, stayed for the witty Jedi bumpkin charm. I am happily a new member. This is not charity; the knowledge and entertainment are well worth the price of admission. Keep it up Master Joe.

The bike 🚲 is looking good 👍 and don't feel bad asking for memberships because you're making great content with a huge amount of free knowledge that's hard to find on yt.

[@JoeTheMountainJedi]

@@daveettel4750 thanks for that!!!... It wasn't something I took lightly!

[@gohan924]

I love the idea of repair instead of replace. looking forward to seeing more videos! keep up the awesome work

[@JoeTheMountainJedi]

@@gohan924 absolutely!!!.... I cannot, CANNOT get behind the idea of " disposable society"....my folks taught me to fix what was broken.... And that doesn't apply exclusively to motorcycles.....👍

[@user-Borgus]

Yeah. I worked at a Harley dealership as an apprentice, and they believed in repair instead of replacement whenever possible. That was the opposite when I worked at a Japanese used bike shop later on. I love bikes from all countries, but I learned to take the time to get the life from parts at home, where I needed to save money instead of time. It's worth the time.

Hey Joe, Another good video my friend. Just joined your patron group to help you out with these ole pieces of rust, so don't let me down. lol I enjoy watching you fumble around with this ole XL. I have been running old Ironheads for the past 35 years and have taken my 79s (3 of them) down to the frames at least 6 times so I know how these ole bikes tick. Love them - even the crusty ones. Later

[@JoeTheMountainJedi]

[@nubbyfresh5623]

One thing that's worth noting when it comes to people not getting notified of the videos going live is even if you were subscribed and you have hit the notification Bell the automatic setting for that Belle is "personalized". Don't know what that actually means but for me it usually means that it only send me notifications for about 10% of the videos that a channel puts out. What y'all want to do is hit the notification Bell then click it again and select the "all" notifications option

[@BAtadCrazy]

[@darkiee69]

I'm pretty sure you're right about Johan Petter Johansson (the inventor of that kind of crescent wrench, and the plumbers wrench too) didn't speak Polish. 😉

[@WildRider]

On the exhaust issue 30 minutes in, use a large impact socket 28-32mm and hammer on the exhaust to allow the room on the axel nut. I have done it before when I had a 2018 bike exhaust on a 2009 bike. Along with several older bikes with mismatch exhaust. It works and saves time.

I had a 3 gallon pancake compressor from harbor freight, it past away after 12 years recently. As you probably know, crescent is a name brand not the wrench name. The wrench name is an adjustable wrench.

You gots yurself a like just for the Creative Spider Termination alone. The rest of the video was just gravy. Repair, not Replace is 100% the way to go...

im slowly shifting my daily use gear over to electric....sometimes it has its drawbacks though..... example....milwaukee 3/8 impact....has a "soft start" feature that will NOT spin out a fork dampner rod bolt!!....20 year old ingersoll impact rips it out so fast, the rod dosent have a chance to spin!!

@@JoeTheMountainJedi my 3/8 snap on is pretty strong. Expensive but effective. I can't use cheaper stuff because I wrench cars and it wouldn't last.

[@RockAnAhardSpot]

when i first saw that slide i thought you were going to make a slot in it and put your own bolt through the side into the existing bracket making it easier to replace when needed. But then that didn't happen. LOL. i have an ASTRO Super Duty 3/4" Impact, and I have the 1/2" adapter for it as well. it is Model 1515 actually is read CAT. No. AP-1515 the only lable on it is metal on the back side. It was left to me a long time ago. i was thinking maybe it would need attention someday since I also have a Milwaukee modle ap-121 and it has never worked since I have owned it, I cannot find parts for that and that astro one must either be so expensive no one has one that ever let it go or maybe a flop on the market. i don't see how it can be a flop though since it;s pretty incredible, I can't even find one really. the milwaukee is much lighter and 1/2" i wonder if those are not rebuild able. The astro AP-1515 is still tickin. LOl has some brass parts i don't see of other impacts. i winder if a rebuild of a higher or lower model but still 1/2" would work on the milwaukee?

[@JoeTheMountainJedi]

id thought about that, but it wasnt gonna leave much room for wear on the slider pad, so i went this route.....also, those things arent solid, and the voids inside of it would have made it really flimsy if id have used the existing tab
