Harley Davidson
Programme 1
Mark introduces his first project - a 1942 Harley Davidson WLC motorcycle
which is an ex military bike. Mark plans to civilianise the motorcycle and
give it a complete restoration. Whilst stripping the Harley, Mark discovers
some writing in the primary chain case, which reveals something about our
bike's celebrity history. The gearbox is stripped and explained, and Mark
begins to strip the engine.
Programme 2
The stripped engine is rebuilt. The cylinder barrels are painted, and
there’s a bit of valve grinding, and the carburettors are fitted
to the engine. And of course, it's packed with Mark’s wit!
Programme 3
The newly powdercoated frame is revealed, and the engine and gearbox are
fitted to it. Mark repairs the badly dented primary chain case with a
spot of metalwork. The bodywork is assessed and prepared ready for paint.
Programme 4
The maze of the wiring loom is tackled, we see expert sprayer Danny Boswell,
paint the Harley in it's new colour, which is later revealed. Mark
fits the lights and bodywork to the frame.
Programme 5
Mark fits the last of the bodywork and adds some chrome to brighten the
Harley up. After final tuning, Mark goes for a ride with expert Harley
rider Joe Sylvester to learn the ropes.
