Have you guys watched any of Tatro Machine videos? Here a random one for example.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32M2M6qpmgk

I have seen the shop in person and it is even more chaotic and stuffed full of parts and
bikes than it looks in the videos. He is a second generation Harley mechanic who specializes
in older bikes but works on newer Harleys sometime. He bought or inherited the shop
from his Dad and the place is a virtual treasure trove of old Harley stuff. The only
inventory of the place is kept in Tatro's head and he can usually find whatever he needs to
complete a customers bike.
The dude is truly old school and runs on the down low completely. The building has the
street address on the front and nothing more to identify it as a motorcycle shop. He often
allows customers to do some of the work on their own bikes which you just never see
but he hates editing video so a lot if it is filmed kind of guerilla style and uploaded as raw
25 minute chunks of Harley wrenching sessions.

A homemade workbench against the back wall with pegboard to hang tools behind it.
And one of those Harbor Freight tool carts. Black.

The cart drawer contains a set of spanners, a crescent wrench and a single JIS screwdriver.

You pick up the crescent wrench, but the worm gear stays behind. You now have half a crescent wrench. More like a poker, really.

Everything’s JIS if you’re brave enough.

Not JIS screwdriver hole in the wall and a rack of carbs never opening again on the floor.
