Kyle, you knocked it out of the park! This is a show-quality build! The upswept fishtails are1960s/early 1970s period perfect. I would have gone with a front brake.
Thanks Walter! A front brake would have been nice, on the next one I'm going to see if I can find one of the early drum style front brakes.
@@kylevara Sounds great. I miss living in CA. My wife and I used to ride the coastal highways and the redwood forests. Ride safe. -- W
where did all these master class type videos come into play in the chopper world?, no bike or builder is the same its not cookie cutter,whatever happen to just winging a build. when i stepped into the motobike world there were no how to videos i wonder how we ever managed without these videos.. cool bike tho man.
Turned out great. I can dig it.
Great build! Nice work. The stainless sissy bar is rad.
Thanks man!
make the light video please!
What a nice bike...
Kyle, I like what you built. Very cool. I ride an ‘83 shovel rigid that I built in 2013. It’s my favorite. You’ll love camping and riding your scoot. You’ll find people will ask all kinds of questions. Have fun and ride safe.
Thanks! Will do!
That is one of the most beautiful shovel heads I have ever seen⚡⚡👍👍👍👍 it is perfect clean pure Harley Davidson⚡⚡⚡👍👍👍👍 Job well done hellavah job👍
always happy to see more and more ppl entering the sceen, good job an keep spreading the knowledge to others
Well done Sir! Loved the build, and the video.
Thanks man!
Man I want a shovel so bad! That’s pretty much how I’d do it! Well done!
😮. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.
Nice looking build. You got skills & an eye. 2 things tho. One; Brakes none on the front & a back brake on the edge of lock up? Need a very controlable back brake. Bikes, esp, downhill prone to lock up anyway. Im old enough to remember the spool front/no brake... but never a fan. Most braking comes from front, esp street bikes. Two exhaust; Harleys run hot anywsy & exhaust always. That pipe will cook ur backside! And forget about passengers... leg that is that close to exhaust, Wont work out. Great simple clean build tho. Much appreciated. Love minimalist look! Liked listening to your approach & sources. Thx
So killer dude !
Very nice work🤩 i like the air filter a lot
Sweet chopper man! I’m building a 77 rigid myself. I’m Interested in that 1 wire tail/brake light setup you got
Right on 👍
Nice motorcycle.
Looks good
Thanks man!
Nice bike man! Good Job!
Thanks David, I appreciate it.
Oh yeah The aftermarket oil tanks do not fit. Very nice bike looks great. Remember to ride it like it has no brakes. I was riding around in the 70s and they were very good times. We’ve gone a full 180° on the safety thing and people are just not as interesting or wild as they used to be. Pretty much we used to just ride places to get beer and party 😅
That is so incredibly clean and seemingly well thought through, put together and gorgeous. In fact, as we said back in the 70s, it is, indeed, righteous! Here’s wishing that you would’ve shown it on asphalt with a little taste of some thumping comin’ out of them pipes and some riding, as well. But I ain’t greedy 😎

Thanks man!
Killer build and video man! Your cb builds and vids helped me finish my 750! And now I’ve got my dads old shovel I’m gonna tear into soon! Only problem is I have no clue what model or year it is😂 can barely read what’s on the neck, and the engine vin doesn’t match nor does the final letter of it make sense lol. Needless to say will definitely be an interesting and fun one! He’ll definitely be smiling from above when I figure it out 🤘
That's awesome man! If you can finish a 750, you can jump into a Harley no problem. Study the service manual👊
We didn't have fake bikers in the old days. When l rode my little Honda with the Bikers l rode in the back. I loved the smell of Harley oil and the sound the bikes made. I was what they called a hang around. I went on the rides,parties, and swap meets. Because I wasn't a member of any club l could go to all the parties. In highschool students took the bus. Because I was a teachers aid l parked in the teachers parking lot. Nobody said boo about it. There's a picture of me in the year book in my leather jacket reading a bike mag and you can see the 2 page Honda ad. People still remember me from the biker rodeos. They were real bikers. They drank. They fought. The partys were memorable. Guys built their own custom bikes and made their own custom parts. They knew every nut and bolt on their bikes. If you were a biker with long hair and tattoos HD would not sell you parts. I would go to the Harley shop with a list of parts and I would tell them it was for my uncle's bike. Good times.
that was good to read unc
Hi there kyle.
I've been around bikes for the last 15 years, mostly painting them. But i started the fabrication part about two years ago. Not a old timer but not that new in the scene. Just wanna say, cool video and build. Good taste makes all the diference on the finish product. And you sure have it. Classy and clean. Congrats. Subscribing now. Cant wait to see the metric bikes. Love the HD but as you said it, they f@# expensive. Keep 'em good videos coming.
Cheers from Brazil.
Ps: make the tail light video .
Ps2: Be careful with those brakes and ride safe.
Thank you! I appreciate it.
THank You IM THinking BUilding A shoVelhead Soon IM JUSt savINg up
Can you make a video on the single wire setup?
I am working on it right now! Should be out shortly.
That's a California special they made them late 50s earl sixtys I have one in my garage it's a 49 pan
Really beautiful. Love the seat. How bad it is on your back without any kind of spring?
It's not bad but springs under the seat would be nice. Even the little amount that the springs dampen take out some of the shock if you hit a hole or ride down bad roads. Luckily the streets around where I live aren't bad.
🏁👍🇺🇸
Were you on PCH Sunday? Going Laguna? Headed south? Cool bike.
Lol that was me!
hey brother, where’d you send the frame out to? i’m in san diego trying to chop my frame but couldn’t really understand what you said haha
Ari Vee veemfg.bigcartel.com he does great work.
You didn’t fire it up.
Nice bike, annoying music.
Does prisum sell both shifter and brake setup ???
I think they only make a foot clutch for the shift side. Check out JuniorsHandmade on insta he makes some amazing parts too.
@@kylevara thanks. Sharp looking Harley!!!!!
