I’m happy to see hillbilly have a nice long run at being on camera and explaining himself as he works. I think he is growing by leaps and bounds! Awesome work hillbilly!!

[@williamd1891]

He deserves a Harley for sure.

[@Jimmy-iz2rx]

I was going to say the same thing. He is becoming more at ease on camera. Yeah he deserves a Harley especially after all the wheel polishing he's done on Ed's bike and will be doing on these others. Let alone the other stuff.

Truly enjoyed having hillbilly take over the video... Need more of hillbilly and BIG DINNER...!!!!

[@darrylpennington4904]

You go hill Billy

[@ryanharding4199]

Robby, when you're away "Hillbilly" does NOT play around! Very efficient and talkative behind the GoPro and one great worker. What a great side guy! He & "Dinner" are great dudes!!!

[@prepareandprotect]

Tool tip; to go from Metric to SAE or vice versa use the number “5” and the SAE size will be in “1/16’s”. Example= 13mm minus 5 equals 8/16” or 1/2”. Reverse; 9/16” plus 5 equals 14mm. Works for most sizes we use daily.

[@sruti108]

Thanks that's useful information.

[@peterkhaoone7821]

[@brianboehmer43]

Mind blown! I just memorized them for the most part but this is awesome info. 👌

It only works with 13 and 14mm. Unless I am doing it wrong.

[@ldarmstrongs]

Thanks for the tip!!

[@scottjohnson29]

Met Mr Layton at Cleetus and Cars in Bristol TN. Seems very humble and relatable! I got a big kick out of watching Robby observe Vice Grip Garage spraying his Crown Vic with spray paint! Robby you should’ve had an intervention!

[@jamesbigham9036]

I really like having Hillbilly on camera he is very knowledgeable when it comes to tearing things down he explains each step so you can learn from him as he is doing it. I am definitely looking forward to see the slow roller gang coming together all we need is a Rokon for Paul since he should be included in the gang. Keep up the great work everyone

[@scottworden4503]

I agree with you Paul needs one two love what you guys are doing for the 16 Year old kid keep up the good work guys

[@ryckrowan6153]

Hey Slow Roller ! Want to be ahead of the pack? Double spring points. All cylinder ports; with a brake cylinder Home Stone, radius port openings. Another simple to do is match intake port to cylinder. Do same for exhaust port. Look inside Castings / make all smooth - good air flow runs Great ! Love your Videos

[@GARYJ22]

Hi everyone that’s part of the Robby Layton Nation, I’m from England and don’t have any car body repair experience but if I was lucky enough to live near your shop, I would do everything I could to get you to let me work with you all, You are all the best of people and the work you do is always amazing, thanks for showing how awesome you all are.

After watching you guys tear apart 3 of these, I feel like an expert. I might have to search for a Rokon for myself. Or hope to win your give-away! :D

[@Backroad_Junkie]

Yeah, I wonder if there are Rokon owner out there who's going to reach out to Robby to fix up their bikes, lol...

[@his4evr2c]

Notice @Robby Layton you didn't say anything about fixing the 1969 Rokon at 300,000 subscribers? 😜😂 Or did you? Respectfully I am A 64 yr old GODLY Lady who couldn't do what you do? So if it's an as is Rokon. That wouldn't work for me. My suggestion would be given to Aiden? With the Truck Reveal . A safe Rokon . Imho .

You guys r getting good at tearing down rokons keep up the great video

[@hectic6981]

If you guys have a Tandy Leather store near by. Take the mud flap in, they can help you select the correct material, a punch, and a set for installing snaps and some dye and sealer. Recreating that should be super simple, trace it out onto some cardboard, cut a pattern out and then transfer onto the leater, cut punch, finish, install snaps. I picked up leater crafting as a hobby and have done a few projects, if I can make a decent pouch with saddle stitching you can cut out a simple shape and punch some holes I am sure

[@R.J.333]

Thanks Robby for the "NO STRINGS ATTATCHED GIVEAWAY" comment. Your friends on other channels (won't mention any names) do not seem to realize what a GIVEAWAY really is. You have to purchase expensive products to even get registered to win ! Sometimes they forget how their Followers and Subscribers made them rich to start with. Sometimes the Greed overtakes the appreciation. Love your videos man*****You guys keep up the great work*****Good Times from Tennessee

[@MikeBaxterABC]

10:29 right through to 11:13 Just love this unscripted banter (yes I realize the channel is not scripted, but could not think of a better term) ... this is what makes Robbie's Channel so great! .

[@cynthiawallen4946]

Love watching Robby Layton Nation and the give away Rokon will be nice 👍 have a great day see you again Friday 👍👍😀😀

[@smilinacha]

Hey Robby😄! Just a thought - Of course you could “Bedazzle” the Rokon. Or if you wanted to decorate it in a way that is more to the period this was made, “Macaroni Art” might be more fitting to that era? Pro-tip, may want to use gorilla glue though instead of the standard white Elmers glue😁.

[@his4evr2c]

So funny

[@LegendaryPlowboy]

I love what your shop does out of kindness and your channel is fun to boot. 09:56 I see a Roscoe Plowboy. Thanks.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Can't wait to see more videos soon on this project for the slow rollers.

[@billmoore7133]

I remember seeing advertisements for the Rokon's in magazines when I was a kid, a picture of a guy standing on it with an oar in hand when it was on its side floating him across a body of water, they're very unique bikes.

[@W1se0ldg33zer]

You should build some lugs around where the frame joins together. Those should really have a lugged frame - surprising it doesn't. It won't crack so much from the off-road abuse it takes. Stiffen up the forks too.

[@sjv6598]

Yaaaay, another Rokon disassembly video 🥺

[@darrenwhite5544]

Funny that the Rokon Trend started with Ed's Suzuki Restoration, and now you find a Yellow Rokon with a Suzuki seat 😁

[@timvanasen6711]

Make a sidecar with the extra Rocon, not as many bad parts on this one, great video thank's for sharing God bless ❤😉👍

[@stephenpoe2037]

Another interesting build ! Thanks for sharing !

Thanks for another Rokon tear down video. I just got one and know it will need a new steering head bushing. It looks like I will need to take quite a bit apart to get to it. 🤔

If you'll use clear silicone sealant on your beads when installing any tires on any rims, It will make them go on super easy, come off super easy (no rust or corrosion between tire and wheel, ever), and you'll never have a leaky bead seal, even in the winter.

[@williambryce8527]

I have a 1967 Rokon just like that, would be fun to pull it out of the barn and fix it up like yall are doing!!! Bought it from the Rokon founder Orla Larsen 28 years ago. Awesome to see you fixing your up. My is just covered and forgotten.

[@caturnerjr]

I understand that you want to give back to the community and I'm all for that but I think Hillbilly should recieve it to be able to have with fun the rest of you. You can look in Hillbillys eyes and see that he's had a hard life and been through a lot of stuff. He's a very hard worker and your right hand man, Just by seeing him on camera he has and will do anything for anyone. I can't think of anyone else more deserving than Hillbilly!

Great content watch y’all’s clips all the time

[@davidfarmer1666]

Count your blessings that you have Hillbilly, he truly puts in 100 percent on every job given to him. Plus he appears to enjoy his job and working for you and the Boss. The Boss does a good job of keeping the three ( Robby, Hillbilly, and Dinner) of you inline. Robby does She require that you bow and kiss her feet when you get home? Oh well you are lucky to have her to keep you inline. Keep the Rocon's moving so we may have a video of Rocon Day, when they all rally together. Stay safe.

[@davidfarmer1666]

Watching you in Bristol in your next video. While at Bristol you may see VGG 's Derek, or some of the other UTubers. I saw video on SleeperDude already and he was drooling over Derek. I would prefer to watch all of the Utah crews before the southeast guys. Much more talent and much better looking, and content above them all. Plus I haven't seen them doing anything for other people. Not at all like you guys! Be safe and travel with care...

Trick for taking off kickstand springs: pull the kickstand halfway down so the spring is extended, then stick washers or coins in all the open coils. Then put the kickstand back up and the washers will keep the spring extended enough to remove.

i love Hillbilly's commentary, he doesn't over explain, he just states what he's doing and then videos while doing, no long drawn out over explaining...Hillbilly, you a natural a Rokon not exactly a "fast" bike, what kind of abuse, or crash happened to crack that frame up that bad...my bet, crashed old dirt biker here, sprockets and chains, ALWAYS replace both sprockets AND the chain, at same time...it a wear thing, putting a new chain on a worn sprockets creates slop and an old stretched chain on a new sprocket, doesn't engage correctly on sprocket..

Robby & 'The Boss' & Crew...Rokon's are cool and you guys are making them cooler. Rock on with the Rokon's. (Did you get your factory tow hitch/bumper that Ed gave you out of the front trailer compartment to put it with the rest of the frame for "body work" and paint prep?) ;)

[@schumannresonanceswithverte]

You folks do great work. I really, really want to bring my E150 in to have you guys work on it. I don't care what, but it needs plenty of work, Mostly, it needs a new roof. Your crew is quite a team. Hillbilly is the least-likely "reality star", but his genuine innocence in explaining the technical work he's doing, is a type of genius. Robby's got a kinda polished delivery, which matches the constant sanding he's always doing...a refined delivery, maybe? Anyway, you folks are amazing, and entertaining in what you do. I've tried auto body, and there's a reason I never pursued it as a career.

It always amazes me how they can figure out what parts are needed to build a motorcycle. Parts are unique to each motor vehicle. Since I am not a native mechanical gentleman it remains somewhat of a mystery to me how things work. Though I am getting more comfortable as each time a Rokon gets disassembled. I am not entirely mechanically neophyte. I have spent many hours disassembling Computers and printers. I go back to the early IBM PC days back in the mid 1980s.

[@sjv6598]
