@@JoeTheMountainJedi haha love it! Keep up the great work on the harley. Love what you are doing

[@JohnStruemph]

Nice use of a latching relay. May I suggest a small 7805 circuit for the 5 volts. The resistor to drop may heat up and fail. I’m also a fan of using a relay to drive a relay as that headlight circuit could draw more than 10 amps. Great video, gave me a lot of good ideas. Thanks for sharing. Be well!

[@JoeTheMountainJedi]

@@JohnStruemph agreed...that's why I made it a point to NOT use these with halogen, or incandescent bulbs....too much draw for that little guy, but it'll run LED bulbs just fine!

[@pamartin]

Excellent tip on having the lathe roll away from you while filing. 👍 Don't ask me how I know 😁☠️

[@JoeTheMountainJedi]

yeah, even a small tabletop jobbie like this can put a hurt on ya if you arent careful!!

[@upchuckchops]

I need to look into those drill bits at Harbor Freight. I love me some shopping there.

[@JoeTheMountainJedi]

well, if i get a few years out of em, ill be happy for what i paid.....the numbered bits are what i kill off easiest, because i have to drill a lot of stainless, and hard steels....the bigger/more common ones usually get melted into slag on the drill press, because I'm impatient!!

[@calebevans8437]

Everything you did i agree with apart from the wiring colour as a car mechanic red power black earth🤣🤣 this makes so much more sense now when me and my mate were working on his dads old harley back when we were in our teens we couldnt understand why all the wire colours didnt make sense

If you are a cold-weather rider, the learning curve for lithium batteries is a bit steeper. Batteries require a warm-up before you apply the starter.

[@waltercadwalader5754]

Try Bearing solder it flows real nice

[@JoeTheMountainJedi]

because it contains a high percentage of lead, AND antimony....thats a hardening agent when its alloyed into the lead...the tin makes it more "watery" when its in a molten state, but is generates surface oxides that inhibit the bond with copper.....thats where old school 60/40 rosin core shines for electrical work!

[@steve062989]

At 44:52 there was a scale over your shoulder 😂😂😂.

[@JoeTheMountainJedi]

yeah, i know.....but the batteries are probably dead, and it has a entirely different use for me thats how i "count" hundreds of the same things at once(that i cant discuss here);)

You forgot the turn signal switches.

[@JoeTheMountainJedi]

nope...not running turn signals on this build....

[@Habeebea]

Joe, your mic's must have some kind of noise canceling feature because when you run the bike/drill/lathe it squelches it. I don't care if I hear your drill, but the bike is a different story.

[@JoeTheMountainJedi]

its because of the high-frequency noise.....the mic cancels/mutes it to keep people with noise sensitivity from getting their eardrums blown out...lol working on how to get what i want out of it, without it compromising the rest of my audio, so please bear with me....definitely NOT a techie-guy!!

[@jdkoppy]

How did you get the switches up into the handlebars?

[@JoeTheMountainJedi]

its a tight fit, but these bars already had wiring cutouts for internal wiring, so i was able to slip them in from there.....in the past, ive used fishing line to tie around the buttons, and pull them in from the bottom

[@firefighter1c57]

My dad drilled into my head, never use the key to kill the bike. Something about the kill switch shunts the regulator, the key doesn't, and you'll burn up the generator. I don't know if there's any truth to it, and, it was 40 years ago. But I've always used the switch, and have only replaced like two generators in 40 years, and one of those was due to a magnet that came loose and chewed up some windings.

[@JoeTheMountainJedi]

Old Brit bikes, and some others did that ...it's never been a problem for metric bikes of any kind, nor Harley's from what I've ever seen.... I'd probably file that one in the category of "you're face is gonna freeze like that someday" type of stuff...😉

Great vid bubba. What kind of layth are ya using? I was thinkin of getting one for personal stuff (Not for marine biz) and not sure what to invest in that will handle basic stuff.

[@JoeTheMountainJedi]

the one in the video is a generic 7x12 harbor freight mini lathe (made by Seig, for HF, Grizzly, and several others...) my "new to me" bigger lathe is also a "import lathe", its a 9x20" ( same as the grizzly g4000, jet 9x19, and a few others)....we have a fairly clapped out smithy 12x20 at work, but im looking for a replacement for it, as its showing its limitations for what i do commonly on it it kind of depends on what you plan on doing, and how large your expected workpieces are going to be....for the small-ish stuff i do at the home shop, the mini lathe got me good 80% of the time, but it definitely showed its limitations on larger things pretty quickly
