Sam Bernstein Chopper Shop - Season 3 Episode 2

Transcript

00:00Motorcycles come in a variety of styles, each suited to a certain type of rider.

00:09And when you add customization to the equation, it opens up a new realm of possibility.

00:14In season one, we changed the Skull-Ridden Softail Deuce into a tribute to military bikes

00:19of the past.

00:20If that wasn't chopper enough, last season we built a custom pro street for buckets of

00:24parts.

00:25Road bikes with lean, mean machines with plenty of muscle and hustle, ideal for a solitary

00:30rider ready to taste the freedom of an open road.

00:33And this year we're customizing a 2010 Street Glide, which is a bagger-style motorcycle complete

00:38with custom saddlebags, a radio and touring-style seating.

00:42That means you and yours could have the perfect road trip on a bike that rips.

00:46Speaking of ripping, Darren, I think that Dave is about to tear into this bagger right about

00:50now.

00:51Today, the pigs are flying high in the sky and getting dirty in the sty at Bad Pig Customs.

00:58So what we're going to do is just take it apart today, just so we can get it to the painter,

01:02because that's going to take it the longest time, is to paint.

01:05The new bike is on the chopping block, and Dave is ready to strip some meat off its bones.

01:10My favorite part is tearing things apart.

01:13I'll start by just taking the back fender off.

01:16That's the hardest part.

01:17Put everything in our bucket so that when we do start putting it back together, we have

01:24everything.

01:25Here in the shop, Dave is in his element.

01:38With each bolt turned and part removed, he practices a little zen in the art of motorcycle

01:44maintenance.

01:45When I'm working on bikes all by myself, I kind of think about what I'm going to do

01:49to this thing next, or what could be done to it.

01:52Learning is a big part of it.

01:55You know, you always look at what somebody else did, you know.

01:58Did they really ride this bike like this, or who did this, you know?

02:02Sometimes it's a good thing.

02:04You learn from it.

02:05Maybe see something that somebody did that you were like, hey, I should do it that way.

02:10A wise man once said, a true master is an eternal student.

02:15Dig it.

02:22Well, this ain't going to come off like I wanted it to.

02:29I got to take the front fender off.

02:35I'm having an issue.

02:36So I got to jack the bike up, take the front wheel off, take the front fender off.

02:40They used to drill holes in the bolts and put wires through it for speed so that they

02:45don't vibrate out.

02:46So what they do is on the front fenders, they pound a little tab over so that the bolt

02:51doesn't vibrate out.

02:52Because believe it or not, there's been a lot of times where my front fender fell off.

02:58See how it's got a locking tab on the bolt?

03:13So what we got to do is tap that off.

03:23Success.

03:24See how it's all locking?

03:26You bend these tabs over.

03:28It's non-vibrating.

03:30It won't vibrate out.

03:32Those are the culprits.

03:352010 doesn't seem like that old, but it's a kind of older bike.

03:42Now that Dave has dealt with the rusted bolt, he finishes removing this finicky fender.

03:50The original parts are now ready to be sent off to the painter, along with new extended

03:54saddlebags for a sleek, custom look.

03:57This bike may be dressed down, but soon it'll be glowed up.

04:02As for Dave, well, he's got more disassembling to do before the day is truly through.

04:10On the next episode of the Call Sam Chopper Shop, we're putting down the tools and going

04:14to school.

04:15Now this is my kind of course.

04:20One thing that's clear.

04:21This is going to be one heck of a painting job this year.

04:24Without a doubt.

04:25And while the bike won't need as much in terms of a rebuild, Dave will be going over the mechanics

04:30with a fine tooth comb.

04:32You know what I'm going to say next.

04:34Be sure to head over to CallSam.com backslash chopper shop to secure your raffle ticket for

04:39a chance to win this bike.

04:41Thanks for watching and tune in next time.
