So it's like a backwards Road King? And you chose the complicated end of an FLT lol! Nice idea with the brackets, a buzzing fairing drives riders nuts! Might need some rubber grommets to help sound dampening.
Craig are you going to the camp out? Is that what your eluding to? I hope so although you may never smell the same after being so close to the swap wizard.
Your very likely loading this money gulping monster onto a trailer as I write this, and I'm sure that the constraints of construction and destruction are wearing thing thin your resolves, and finally will please someone in the community. You kind of need encouragement when you have one of the least loved of the Harley Breed to Work into a show stopping bike build. The V-Rod is one of my favorite models, since it attempted to break all the Iron Moulds of what an HD was meant to be for the enthusiasts who had a different idea about the Marque. Good Luck!
Paul Sr. had an entire staff back in the day to get these bikes done. He didn't really do anything in the build process. Nowadays he has a mechanic who really does most of the work, like on the bike he's doing for the build-off. You're doing this pretty much on your own. Give yourself a break. And you did a LOT more on the VROD than he did on that Roadstar or whatever that bike is that he hacked up.
long time like thumb up viewer. no good now.. wtf yank!, you used to be like a uk biker how to get the bike going in the snow. arrgh ive been there mate lets get er goin! with easystart. youre becoming a commercial a$$$ now.
I love the part where you talk about using the correct crimpers while using the wrong crimpers. Also, it's unnecessary to remove the rear gasket from a deutsch connector. You can just push the crimped end through.
This is so cool to watch! And regarding the tire, it looks the wrong way round because if it was on the back or on a car it would be. But on the front wheel of a bike it is correct the way it is. In this orientation it creates more grip under braking because the grooves are facing against the turning direction. But I guess you already knew that.
I'm not a fan of baggers, or bikes with huge chunks of useless garbage bolted around the handlebars. I sure hope your bike changes my mind. I think it just might. Good luck in the build off.
That front wheel must be mounted backwards. The treads are supposed to push water outwards and backwards from the center of the tire, like a V shape with the pointy part forwards. Like this, with the wheel moving from left to right >>>>>>>. As it's mounted now it will have the opposite effect, catching water and pushing it inwards.

That's one sweet lathe my friend
RIP Joe Diffie! Always “A Pickup Man” !!
Excited much??? Cool build!
The "hours to ohio" is really annoying. It takes up too much space and counts down faster than a second.
I don’t like choppers normaly, but this build is different. The attention to detail is awesome!

All vids on line are reversed.
in many front tires the tread looks like its the wrong way,but it it is not.always check the arrow
That bucket of ugly on the front ruined it.
240 rear is required by law
I have a funny feeling this V-Rod is going to be the most badass looking V-Rod to date!
you forgot Bob Marley .. ~we be jammin~ lol
"If you put the tire on the direction of travel, it's not on wrong"…….but….what if it's miss labeled?

The Eye-blinking sounds are crazy funny! 🤣
Can’t wait to see the finished bike!
“White Noise” is a great name for the bike

Craig is definitely winning this build off, great looking bike brother

I hope you feel better soon. Bike is Looking great you got my vote 🎉
lol wish I could afford a bike like that lol. Looks cool
that V rod has 30 HP more than my car, and thats measureed at the wheels… damn!
I always wanted a Vrod and now I really want one.
The VROD custom bikes are crazy. (Aventador) I feel like their are some missed opportunities
Looking good! What the hell happened to Sean? Did he give up you and Paul Senior have put up updates
Helll yeah!!!!

Paul had/has a team of people that have done it all many times. I'm certain it's not as stressful for him as it is you. You're killing it, though! 👍
Seems to me like the front tire is running the wrong way.
