Such a pleasure to be invited along on these projects. Really nice, clean repair. Thanks, Joe!

I once knew a man who had owned a small machine shop. Until seeing "Joe Pie" videos, he was the best machinist I had ever seen (not CNC). He told me once that the Bikers in his area found out how good he was making "one off" replacement parts. He had a huge business doing that. Joe, you may have just created a ton of new business, once the word gets out. Happy 4th of July. Kick back in the shade and tip a few cold ones. ;-)

Very neat repair, it looks like it was meant to be there.

Had a friend who was a fantastic body man. His KZ locked up the transmission on the highway. He was hit and run over by the cars behind him. Almost died and lost his left arm. The bike was only a month old. Nice bikes and smooth running. Great repair job. It's great to see the old bikes still going. Thanks Joe. Stay cool.

I once owned a 1977 Honda CB750F. Nice bike and a lot of fun. Good job on the repair.

Well, Here is Joe mid week.When the leg came off my 900 Kawasaki was one of the real pleasures I had to give up. We spent those endless summer days together like it was an extention of who and what I am. I have to find a buyer for it but just can't bear the thought of someone else spending time with my baby. That repair looks like it came from the factory like that. Sweet fix my friend. Thanks a bunch my friend.

Great job again Joe! So much of your channel is dedicated to the basics and advanced details of how to machine. This was a very practical application of those basics you have shown us. I very much appreciate all you do with your channel. I have learned so much from you. Thanks for sharing!!!
-
Yes, it looks like a welding job then remachine area. Thanks Joe for showing us this repair; it too works.
-
Bike work is what I like to do. Ag. Work is what I do most. Never would of thought of repairing that job like that. Thanks for the knowledge.

Great job keeping an old warhorse in service!

As long as you're not jumping the snake river canyon, I think it will hold just fine! Nice Job.

Thanks for calling out the misplaced hate for 303 stainless. In the real world it is strong enough and corrosion resistant enough for a broad spectrum of applications. I think the people who trash talk it don't have much, if any, experience with it. If desired, it's even pretty simple to DIY passivate 303 parts.

You really love what you are doing! last night my AC evaporator fan started making noise, long story short a bearing hub (aluminum cast) was totally worn out. Took it out the bearing was still good, in my mini lathe made a sleeve and put it back until the new motor arrives as back up. Joe, thanks to your you videos my skills are getting better and better. Happy 4th of July from Florida!

Nice repair, I always like that Joe does not take the most obvious route to his solution which opens us to different fixes to seemingly impossible repairs. thanks Joe!
-
Nice Joe !! Just me, but I would of press fit the key into the casting. So nice to have those skills and machines to fix it all today. Young folks today don't have either, so they pay $$ big bucks to replace / repair everything. 😮
-
Found the same with 303. Most people have never heard of 303. cheer Joe
-
A perfect example of "I can show you better than I can tell you!" Nice work! You're right about that 303 though.

Joe when Ì was in business I machined pump shafts from 316SS, I hated the stuff. No matter I did to stay with carbide inserts I could not get 316 to to roll a chip. It made ribbons that were razor sharp and made real nasty cuts when I got cut.

CB 750…!! That takes me back to my younger days… ! A true collectors bike…! Nice fix… ✅✅

Thanks joe , you've just pushed my two favourite buttons, motorcycle repairs and quality engineering 👌
