These hands-on workshops will help you avoid costly mistakes in assembly procedures and in choosing wrong parts for your bike build!<\/p>\n
You will also avoid expensive labor rates by learning how to do all the work yourself!<\/p>\n
These workshops are basically a highly condensed and well organized “motorcycle mechanics school”. We cover the engine or chopper build part-by-part, and each and every precision micrometer measurement, feeler gauge spec, torque spec, and so on.<\/p>\n
Finally, we fire up the engine you build when we start the bike.<\/p>\n
Yes, we go slow. It is a lot of work for the teacher to actually cover this much material. These workshops are not filled with lots of coffee breaks and bad jokes. However, the workshops are still a “riot” with the cool personalities that show up! Despite the hard core grinding technical information we cover, the workshops are a blast.<\/p>\n
These chopper, engine building and TIG welding workshops are comprehensive “Boot Camps” that will answer ALL of your building questions. You won’t be disappointed with these workshops!<\/p>\n

Some classes have good builders, but they do not have in-depth material to teach or good teaching skills.<\/span><\/p>\n Unfortunately, some of these classes are mainly just about \u201cbolting a bike together\u201d, and not teaching the critical technical details of motorcycle assembly and motorcycle operating systems…which we do best!<\/p>\n Our classes are small, so that each student gets plenty of “HANDS-ON\u201d experience building a bike and an unobstructed view of the building process.<\/p>\n We have learned from experience that students cannot learn if classes have too many students. Those kinds of classes make for a lot of unhappy students.<\/p>\n Our emphasis is on quality teaching of the technical details of chopper building, engine building, troubleshooting electrical and fuel systems, tuning, sheet metal fitting, and TIG welding.<\/p>\n We do NOT just TELL YOU HOW to build a bike or engine. We SHOW YOU HOW to do each building procedure, and then YOU do it! Our workshop style seminars are detailed and intensive. We take questions anytime during class.<\/p>\n We specialize in teaching the technical specs and the motorcycle mechanics involved in chopper building, engine building, trouble shooting and tuning, as well as all the parts to be installed from a bare frame to the finished bike.<\/p>\n Our goal is to give you personal hands-on wrenching experience and the \u201cWHY\u201d behind everything. This gives you the understanding you need which will in turn give you the CONFIDENCE you need to work through problems you encounter in the future.<\/p>\n We stop after every single procedure for questions and a total clarification of all the issues. We take the \u201cmystique\u201d out of chopper building. You are going to like what we teach and how we teach it!<\/p>\n We also hit on some bike shop details with respect to getting and keeping customers, getting known, running spreadsheets and controlling the paper-chase, insider parts buying strategies, and uncomplicated parts-making ideas that can save you a fortune and make your shop profitable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”\/registration\/” button_text=”Registration & Schedule” button_alignment=”left” _builder_version=”4.0.6″ custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”17px” button_bg_color=”#da251c” button_border_color=”#e1251b” button_font=”|700|||||||” button_use_icon=”off” background_layout=”dark” animation_direction=”bottom” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_bg_color__hover=”#4cc421″ button_border_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_border_color__hover=”#4cc421″]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/redlinechopperschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Redline-Chopper-School-Advanced-Techincal-Training-2.jpg” alt=”Redline Chopper School Advanced Technical Training” title_text=”Redline Chopper School Advanced Technical Training” _builder_version=”4.0.9″ hover_enabled=”0″ box_shadow_style=”preset1″ box_shadow_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.21)”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/redlinechopperschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/How-to-Build-a-Chopper-Clutch-Adjustment-2.jpg” alt=”How to Build a Chopper Clutch Adjustment” title_text=”How to Build a Chopper Clutch Adjustment” _builder_version=”4.0.9″ hover_enabled=”0″ box_shadow_style=”preset1″ box_shadow_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.21)”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” module_id=”learnmore” _builder_version=”4.0.6″ custom_padding=”||21px|||”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.0.6″ max_width=”1250px”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.0.6″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.7″ header_2_font=”|800|||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#e02b20″ header_2_font_size=”45px” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”40px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ _builder_version=”4.0.6″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” max_width=”1250px” custom_padding=”14px|0|27px|0px|false|false” use_custom_width=”on” custom_width_px=”1250px”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.6″ text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” link_font=”|800||on|||||” header_font=”|800||on|||||” header_text_color=”#e1251b” header_font_size=”20px” header_2_font=”|800|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”30px” header_2_line_height=”1.1em” header_3_font=”|800|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font_size=”25px” header_3_line_height=”1.1em” header_4_font=”|800|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#e1251b” header_4_font_size=”20px” animation_direction=”left” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”25px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop”]<\/p>\n We discuss styles of bike building and the parts involved in building those bikes: Rigid & softail frames; spoke wheels, billet wheels and tire widths; enclosed and open belt driven primaries; traditional and springer front ends; engine sizes and what to expect in performance, longevity and maintenance; custom wiring and pre-assembled wiring harnesses, etc..<\/p>\n We discuss the difficulty factors with respect to the type of build you will do, and the tools and skills required.

The problems come when you ask some of them technical questions and you find out they really don\u2019t know that much. They are fabricators, not mechanics.<\/p>\n One of the problems is the \u201cI learned it all on the street phenomenon.” The \u201cstreet\u201d is not always the best place to get good technical information. For example, through the years we have known some street-taught mechanics, and also some Harley mechanics with the “PHD” credentials who were savvy and very knowledgeable. We have had the good fortune to have worked with some of them.<\/p>\n We have known others with the same backgrounds who were “hackers” and “parts changers”. They really had very little technical knowledge. It’s a bit shocking when you run into it – and even a few of them had the “PHD” certification.<\/p>\n It gets even worse when you get \u201csignature products\u201d made by \u201cmaster builders\u201d \u2013 products that are poorly made and are prone to serious problems. And it\u2019s often a bit rampant in the industry. We have some of those products to show you!<\/p>\n You also have manufacturers who are just out to make a buck in the aftermarket with low-ball pricing of their parts. Then, when you ask them technical questions about their parts, you find they can\u2019t answer a single question about their own product! It’s shocking!<\/p>\n Or, there is no technical department and the parts are made in some other country where you will never get to quiz the engineer or product manager. And warranty and service? We discuss these vendors and the war stories in our classes!<\/p>\n We teach you the technical details you need to know instead of just having you blindly bolt up parts. Details like torque specs and what parts do not work well \u2013 or, the year when the part was manufactured and what years to avoid. Example: Primary drives. Stock primary drives are not mix and match – and model years differ in quality.<\/p>\n Most of all, we share with you the “war stories” involved with various stages of bike building and how to solve the problems![\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”\/registration\/” button_text=”Registration & Schedule” button_alignment=”left” _builder_version=”4.0.6″ custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”17px” button_bg_color=”#da251c” button_border_color=”#e1251b” button_font=”|700|||||||” button_use_icon=”off” background_layout=”dark” animation_direction=”bottom” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_bg_color__hover=”#4cc421″ button_border_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_border_color__hover=”#4cc421″]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/redlinechopperschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/How-To-Build-a-Chopper-School-Blue-Bike.jpg” alt=”How To Build a Chopper School – Blue Bike” title_text=”How To Build a Chopper School – Blue Bike” _builder_version=”4.0.6″ box_shadow_style=”preset1″ box_shadow_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.21)”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/redlinechopperschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/How-To-Build-a-Chopper-School-Engine-2.jpg” alt=”How To Build a Chopper School – Engine 2″ title_text=”How To Build a Chopper School – Engine 2″ _builder_version=”4.0.6″ box_shadow_style=”preset1″ box_shadow_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.21)”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” module_id=”learnmore” _builder_version=”4.0.6″ custom_padding=”||21px|||”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.0.6″ max_width=”1250px”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.0.6″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.6″ header_2_font=”|800|||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#e02b20″ header_2_font_size=”45px” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”40px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ _builder_version=”4.0.6″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” max_width=”1250px” custom_padding=”14px|0|27px|0px|false|false” use_custom_width=”on” custom_width_px=”1250px”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.6″ text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” link_font=”|800||on|||||” header_font=”|800||on|||||” header_text_color=”#e1251b” header_font_size=”20px” header_2_font=”|800|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”30px” header_2_line_height=”1.1em” header_3_font=”|800|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font_size=”25px” header_3_line_height=”1.1em” header_4_font=”|800|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#e1251b” header_4_font_size=”20px” animation_direction=”left” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”25px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop”]<\/p>\n Proper tear-down procedure is demonstrated so that parts are not damaged in the process. An explanation of what every single part does and how it fits is covered during the part-by-part engine disassembly. Students do all tear down and rebuild!<\/p>\n During the teardown, we tell you how Harley part specs have changed over the years and why this knowledge is important to you. All parts are measured with micrometers to acertain proper specifications and to see if wear limits have been reached.<\/p>\n This gives you cutting edge knowledge of Harley engine building that you can ONLY get from us.<\/p>\n Guys, we teach real world \u201cwar stories\u201d about how each engine part works, how each part has to be fitted, and how each part should NOT be fitted, as well as what happens in the \u201creal world\u201d on the road \u2013 these \u201cwar stories\u201d will make you smile!<\/p>\n If you have been a fan of Evo and Shovelhead engines, and have always desired to have a comprehensive knowledge of building these engines, you will probably start laughing at times in this class with the excitement of learning everything you have always wanted to know!<\/p>\n Explained another way, when you begin to realize you are getting 30 years of REAL WORLD knowledge and experience IN ADDITION to the technical details of engine building \u2013 well, it kind of feels like you just won the state lottery!<\/p>\n This is exciting insider information and trade secrets that can only be learned from veteran builders who know how to teach.<\/p>\n Example: Sometimes you should do procedures quite differently than what the tech manuals advise. This kind of insight only comes from working on many engine builds.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.6″ text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” link_font=”|800||on|||||” header_font=”|800||on|||||” header_text_color=”#e1251b” header_font_size=”20px” header_2_font=”|800|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”30px” header_2_line_height=”1.1em” header_3_font=”|800|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font_size=”25px” header_3_line_height=”1.1em” header_4_font=”|800|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#e1251b” header_4_font_size=”20px” animation_direction=”left” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”25px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop”]<\/p>\n We discuss quality and performance factors of all big engines with real world facts and experiences. From 96″, 113″, 124″ and on up, we discuss little known facts about heat, We have lots of real world experience with big engines – positive and negative experiences – and we discuss important little known facts that aftermarket engine manufacturers really don’t want you to know about the quality and performance of their big engines. We also discuss these engines brand by brand.<\/p>\n We cover horsepower and torque facts in a way that makes sense and cuts through all the hype.

Flywheels are placed in a truing stand,\u00a0 run out is measured, and the flywheels are trued in response to the run out measurements. This is the biggest factor in reducing V-twin engine vibration. Connecting rod side play is checked.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.6″ text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” link_font=”|800||on|||||” header_font=”|800||on|||||” header_text_color=”#e1251b” header_font_size=”20px” header_2_font=”|800|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”30px” header_2_line_height=”1.1em” header_3_font=”|800|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font_size=”25px” header_3_line_height=”1.1em” header_4_font=”|800|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#e1251b” header_4_font_size=”20px” animation_direction=”left” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”25px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop”]<\/p>\n Proper building procedure is demonstrated part by part until a completed engine is built and fired up.
