Re: Good video
Go to all that trouble of piecing together all them different parts and the humongous amount of hours involved in putting it back together I'd sell it instead of making another adventure. 
Kool video and this guy has the perfect workplace setup and the correct number of devices to pull this off.
the mere patience it would take to accomplish what he has done with this 4 , I'd have to give him a big thumbs up for his efforts.
I have done what this guy did , ONCE And only once..
Mid 60"s I bought two wrecked 883 Harleys, one with a decent front end and another with a suitable rear and after hundreds of hours and I don't remember how many months I had pieced together a running nice looking red and white 883. Rode that thing till the wheels came off, literally, and then sold it at a good price to a friend of a friend.
I wish now I would have kept it along with several of my other bikes..But I was barely getting by at those times and could not afford buying one right out without some kind of down payment.
Of all my bikes only two did I purchase without a trade in, my beloved 1400 and my current Harley Trike. the rest were 2nd hand or nearly worn out versions that I rebuilt back into running condition. Several were wrecked bikes that had been restored to original condition , my 2002 Harley Deuce was on of those bikes... bought it from my brother in law after he had wrecked it on a Hill country trip. it was originally all black.

I ALWAYS BOUGHT GENTLY USED BIKES, WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE'S, LOADED WITH UPGRADES AND EXTRA GOODIES.
GREATLY REDUCED PRICES AND FANTASTIC DEALS ... SAME WITH AUTOS

Re: Good video
Funny that you posted this because I just saw one in much worse shape on a trailer being hauled into town on Thursday afternoon. Lot's of work to restore one correctly
