Revisiting this build and after reading some of these comments I'm amazed by the negativity. This is one of the sweetest builds I've seen, that includes the guys that have unlimited resources to invest in r&d and equipment. WELL DONE amigo!
TomTreeMan hey man, I actually owned one myself, so I don’t really need to google it, I bought it because I always thought it was one of the finest looking Harleys out there, loved it, cherished it and rode it in all weathers, never let me down once, but in the end I sold it about ten years ago, as the bulk and weight were beginning to tell on me. Having seen this vid just made me wonder.... what if I’d had the skills to Bob it like that, maybe I’d still have it now? In any case, give the guy credit, what he did WAS a great job and the result might not be to your taste, but I love it. Anyway, peace, happy and safe riding to you buddy.
I read the comments and I am drawn to this conclusion. All motorcycles are comprised of two wheels, seat, handlebars, engine and other nuances. The fact is, how it makes you feel when you open the throttle. Great build, great attention to detail and skill set. God bless my friend. Ride where the sun never ceases and the road never stops.
One of the best video I have ever seen on RUclips !! This video deserves record views !! The only thing I want is ‘ the feeling ‘ inside this guy while he was walking towards the finished product !! Amazing !!
love how negative people can be about someones work if you can do the same then do it but obviously they cant otherwise they would appreciate another mans hard work that went into this. Beautiful build bro
how hard is ordering bolt on parts and bolting them on? are you a moron? this was as stupid hack job done by a poser. this was not a build dont by a real builder, or man for that matter. dont be a fool like him.
Watched this and the entire build series over ten times while working on my HD, never gets old and inspires me to get my ass back in the garage!!! Well done brotha!
I'm still trying to figure out where you tucked your fuse box that was on the OEM fender lol I'm guessing under the battery or tucked in that pocket with it??
HEY EVERYBODY!!! There is a 9 video series on my RUclips channel of this build if you'd like to see it in REAL TIME. Everything it took to build this bike you can find at tucker.com in the V-Twin catalog. They are the proud sponsor of this bike and the video build series.
In love! I noticed you use a lot of performance machine parts was wondering what kind of handle bars you used. Very badass build... fuck the haters below
I think I've come back to this video around 15 times just to watch the build and end result. I wouldn't be able to stop riding this. Absolutely love the style. 🤤 P.S - Are those 12" hangers?
@@MOTOPILOT6 are your services for hire? How does a normal person with no connections to the bikingh world, but looking for his perfect build make something like this happen?
This is the most epic build I think I've ever really seen. So beautiful, every last part of it . I couldn't express how awesome it would be to own something like that .

Don't get me wrong. Beautiful bike, but there's a but. Back in the day where I come from. You built a bobber when you had non budget. You had to chop, cut, and Bob the parts you had which led to shaving weight. But (again) it started with being broke or having an old lady that bitched a lot about you spending money on a bike when you're still a renter and haven't bought her a ring yet. Those wheels, Beautiful, but(once more) probably cost more than my first 3 bobber, but(last time) love the bike and would choose that style regardless of any budget! Don't hate me. Now, more about winning One, cause I'm broke but live to ride again!
U shouldn't b able to win such a thing! In my eyes its the most beautiful hand made sculpture!!! It belongs in a museum!!! Not on a win list!!! Totally INCREDIBLE!!!!! 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
@@davevangemert2946 I get the history of bobbers and I dig it. But all builds have their own circumstances. I build the red fat boy version 15 years ago. And I loved it. It even won 3 Best of Show trophies. Maybe more if I tried. But the Mike’s were starting to show on her. Pitted chrome and chipped paint. So I had the idea the convert to something to my current liking and get build sponsors to give product. It worked. I only paid for powder coating and it was cheap. Coating the wheels only cost $100! I think my out of pocket was around $400 to build the entire bike. I sold it for $12k and bought a Street Glide that I am building thanks to sponsors.

See, RUclips? I knew you could recommend some really nice shit every once in a while!! Dope ass transformation, don’t care about purists and whatnot calling this not a reall bobber. As if it mattered. All I saw was some amazing job done with taste (not my own taste though, I’d go for a more subtle style) and love. Which I now feel compelled to give back ❤️❤️❤️
Wouldn't it be a joy if every build started with a brand new, well kept motorcycle? No engine rebuilding, no rust removal, no old messy wiring....This was hardly a build but rather putting a different dress on the same girl...
Funny everyone's talking shit. Yet he has 8mil views. You viewed it. Let the man do what he wants. Why so much hate. Hahahaha you do you bro @MOTO PILOT
Took one of the most beautiful bikes Ive ever seen and turned it into a SPORTSTER??? Wtf? To each their own but Im an old guy and dont get this at all. Lol.
I respect all the Efforts and skills.... This man can make his own Factory 🏭... Even if im not a bobber fan....but this man sure can build a motorbike by himself.... Absolutely Stunning work 👌🏻💯🎨🖌️ Thank you for sharing...i wish if he did more projects like this.... Greetings from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦💐👌🏻
Am I wrong for thinking you should only bob a beat-up bike? I mean, loved the result but the original fat boy was amazing, in perfect conditions. I think I would only make a bobber out of an older beat-up bike.
Love this guy and the bike why all the hate? Great job and channel I like that you make it feasible for us working stiffs could afford and build our own bobber.👍🏼🌞👍🏼

What a great job of making a standard Harley into such a beautiful bobber! Very, very well done, love it.
M F not so much, google a 1997 Harley Davidson Fatboy wiki, and compare it to the pre teardown images of this bike

I'm 20 years old and i was always fascinated by your builds, you inspired me to save up and buy a M800, thank you!
It went viral bc he did it to a soft tail and not the traditional fxr,sportster,or dyna.. it came out awesome .. good job
😮 maybe" but nevertheless impressive.!!!! 😅
The chrome is gone...and the real bike has shown it’s true nature. You done an awesome frikn job. You allowed the beast to breathe.
thats gotta be one of the most beautiful things i have seen!!!

Because the original was a beautiful bike now it just looks like another bobber on the street
that bike is sic, one of the baddest bobbers I've ever seen or heard. well done sir.

Thanks for made my day
I admire the time and dedication this guy put in and the fabrication. The bobber looks great. 🤙🤙🤙

Sucks to see hate comments tho
when someone can do things like this, there not just mechanics , they are artists .
A very rare think imho a “ truly beautiful “ build . Respect ⭐️❤️
Great Build from a HD Fat Boy to a Custom Bobber!
Yes I totally agree with you as I own a hardtail bobber myself, … it has “soul”. Well explained.

The most insane bobber that i ever seen. Awesome
the only word you got right was insane, think about it

This video is so Fucking sick. Im more than sure it wasnt, but you made it look so easy man!
Wow. Incredible. 1000x better than stock
That’s what HD should be offering on their showroom floors. Amazing build.
HD won't because they like to get your money from accessories too. Their thieves.
Wouldn't it be a joy if every build started with a brand new, well kept motorcycle?
No engine rebuilding, no rust removal, no old messy wiring....This was hardly a build but rather putting a different dress on the same girl...
Nothing better. Thanks!
For those people who say this is just exchange parts, 99.89% of them have never done anything
Pretty much
Haters..probably don't even own a bike
That would take me 9years to do all that.

The bike turned out wicked, but I liked the original better. That’s just my take.
me too the original looked better
@@mstevensn50 You can only be "original" once...
I’m all for bobbing a bike out, but I don’t think they should’ve torn this one up to do it. Was just too nice imo
My first thought exactly. Either way it ended up nice. 💯
The PERFECT bobber, flawless! I'll take one of these and also that flathead V8 trike I keep seeing on youtube
Who gives a sht about who likes it, you build a bike for you. If you're happy with the results then fk yeah. Awesome transformation and skill. 👍
As long as he doesn't try and sell it later ! HAHAHAHA !!!!
Awesome bike in the end,But you started with and destroyed a total badass bike to do do it.
Wow now that's a hand built motorcycle! Good choice on background music as well!
Good job bro bikes sick
I love it, it’s beautiful, but if it’s anything like my bike without that front fender, then you know riding in the rain is a biiiiiitch
This is my favorite bobber build out there!
From a poser bike to real mans bike :) Well done!
Am I wrong for thinking you should only bob a beat-up bike? I mean, loved the result but the original fat boy was amazing, in perfect conditions. I think I would only make a bobber out of an older beat-up bike.
There are no rules to bike building. And the original bike was far from perfect in real life.
Awesome ride there sir….the seed is planted 😊….Thankyou for this video….you are the man
Did he put beer in the shocks?
I think he used it for measurement of fluid oz and entertainment purposes only. Washed out the bottle and put the lubricant fluids in.
My only criticism is I never saw a torque wrench once in the whole video
Theyre for amateurs
