I subscribed years ago. Not sure whats wrong with all these unsubscribed fools. They could instantly make their lives so much better with one little click and yet they, for some reason, are choosing to not live their best lives.
Hi Blockhead myself and the wife came and visited the shop on Monday and spoke to Justin and Chris and these guys are great and I love the workshop you guys rock , thanx
Wow, you guys have come a long way, and it's amazing to see your journey from where you started to where you are now. Your growth and evolution have been truly impressive. Keep up the great work, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for your channel! Shoutout from South Africa!
To watch you go from owning just a sportster and doing how to ride videos to being a small business owner that does probably some of the sickest builds the country has seen. Amazing. And to be a florida man on top of that. Wild
I love everything but the bright white seat. I think a light brown natural leather would look better. Maybe red, or black too idk .. humm .. beautiful build tho
We only have a few prototypes of our exhaust. We ran some tests with it on this engine to see how it would do with large displacement (it did great) but chose to keep it in shop rather than selling it, so it’s now on Chris’ personal bike, which is a 132ci
The bike looks great. Comes off as bit more Britain based bike more than a USA style, in my opinion. It's still a badass bike 💯. Bet that thing is mean on the streets.
I picked up a 883 a couple years ago and set up nice myself. I learned everything from your earlier vids. This rg is sick, every detail is perfect. Much respect to your whole team and subbed. Happy Chris?. What's the music on your outro??
There is something about an incredibly built bike, that has top of the line suspension, brakes, crazy power, all the looks and carbon a guy could want, while skipping the oddest details. I mean this with absolutely no disrespect, I just can't wrap my head around it. The bike is absolutely amazing, but how can you run dual Brembo radial calipers, a top of the line Ohlins inverted front end, Lyndall rotors and all kinds of goodies, only to run a stock master cylinder and a fuck load of black washers as spacers for the calipers. A good master cylinder and some real spacers would do this bike every bit of justice it deserves! That being said, if it's only fine details that someone can find an issue with, it's really not an issue. The bike is absolutely gorgeous, it sounds amazing and the mods are too notch and all tie in VERY nicely. I kinda feel like a dick for pointing out the two things that drive me nuts considering how nice the bike is. I just hope it's taken as respectful constructive feedback and not as hate, because it's anything but that! The bike is essentially perfect!
Thanks Jonny! There’s no black washers as spacers. The spacers just have circular notches cut into them, but they’re a solid piece. Stock master cylinder stops great w the upgraded components. We had to balance the overall budget and OEM master cylinder is something we kept to allocate budget towards other areas.
Hey Gill, Thank You for your Service! You absolutely deserve this bike! I just hope you ride it as much as you can and it doesn't sit in your garage as a "show piece". I hope you can ride it over 100k miles. Make the Blockheads proud. 171 TQ is "banana's"! Amazing Build and yes I am a subscriber! 🤘💪🏁
Amazing bike and build serious question though with all that torque why leave the stock cam lock axle adjuster ? Any reason for not going with an aftermarket one or even a aftermarket and or alloy swing arm
Diggin this format!! Happy to see you guys having some fun and changing it up, and the new camera looks so good too! Amazing build guys, so excited to see what else y'all are working on 😎
Hey guys whats up? I have heard of a few problems with SE products. Whats your thoughts? Also whats your thoughts on gaining extra cheap power with downsizing the sprocket size from the stock sprocket for more power?
I love it. . I could do without the #.. and no white seat.. just seems .... girly. Like purse instead of a seat... my ole lady pointed it out on the la diabla build.. now I can't un see it.
Thank You to Gill for His Services in the Military 🎖️ and allowing to share His Road Glide build. Thank You Blockhead for the build and sharing some of what was done. Looks and sounds great through the video.
What a difference from what he originally pulled into the shop with. I know you don't release numbers on what a project like that would cost, but I can imagine it was a bundle. Needless to say, you hit a homer with this one. peace. Eric in Kissimmee.
Bike came out great! My question is with all the torque it produces why the decision to not upgrade the swing arm or more importantly the rear axle?? When i put some power in my Road Glide 131 build the stock axle would not stay adjusted and constantly need readjusting. Went to the Kraus axle which solved the issue. Now run the Brock's swing arm & its been solid.
We’ve actually run into fitment issues going with aftermarket a number of times. We did remove the stock swingarm though and had it modified / reinforced, so it’s not actually “stock,” has custom fabrication on it, just looks stock.
looks absolutely amazing! can only imagine how it rides. Never liked the color combo of red,white and blue on bikes but this completely changed my mind.
Sooooo when Chris rides the bike at the end of the video I noticed your guys’ exhaust on it instead of the Hpi. What’d the numbers look like with that one compared to Hpi’s??
Goldzilla is running a top end S&S 590 horsepower cam, and we got that on E85. This 143 is on 93 pump gas running an S&S 550, much more rideable vs a 590
Absolute killer build, love the color combo and they styling, even digging the white seat, which is something i normally don't think I would like. Only criticism is those ultra tall bars, but hey, not my bike so I get it that if that's what he wanted.
Stunning build, my question is for the customers from out of state do they just ride or have their bikes shipped to you. Long ride to Florida from Milwaukee!!!
What can I said that has not been said so far about you guys work & artistic way of coming out with amazing builds .. if or when I have the $ I’ll ship my ride to u guys so that can builds another peace of art… and with the power Bill gave u for his build u should have talked to him out of a white seat…. it’s only my opinion but it makes the build look BAD…
Looks good. The only thing I don't love is the different color head lights. Not sure why exactly, I just think it would look better with two of th same color head lights.
I had to put the video on pause to run to the closet and get my matching Dixxon on. I always knew Chris was a cool dude who knew his chit, but now seeing his wardrobe choice, I bowed to his excellence. Oh yeah, sharp bike too😄
I've learned from watching your channel how much taste can vary. I can appreciate the design of all of these bikes, yet none of them are anything near what I would want in a bike built for myself.
Are y'all watching this and NOT subscribed?! What're you dooooing, man? Hit it. C'mon. Mom said. (Thanks for watching, lol)
Subscribing is easy. I did it and I'm a dumb ass 😂😂
I loved this bike from a few months back. So SICK!!! What seat is that from Saddleman?

I ain’t never sub. Finna just keep lurkin. Stay bussin fam, we out
Seriously, probably one of all time best road glide builds. You fellas are killing it.

Great build... That translucent red looks awesome. Love the red chain. I am curious as to why you didn't use your exhaust?
We only have a few prototypes of our exhaust. We ran some tests with it on this engine to see how it would do with large displacement (it did great) but chose to keep it in shop rather than selling it, so it’s now on Chris’ personal bike, which is a 132ci
That idle is brutal 🔥🔥 the white Saddlemen is the icing on the cake. 🍰
The money bagger
The bike looks great. Comes off as bit more Britain based bike more than a USA style, in my opinion. It's still a badass bike 💯. Bet that thing is mean on the streets.
And all I want is a jet kit and an intake for my 05 883

The wife and I are officially in Jacksonville Florida from West Virginia. On our way to Tampa in the morning.

Gotta know how big that pucker factor was when the front tire moved when the throttle was blipped....I know my heart skipped a beat!! @10:25
that exhaust sounds like my yamaha r1. im in the process of making my r1 a bagger.
Oooof cross plane 4 sound is 🌶️🔥
AMAZING build guys, well done, WOW. 💙💙💙💙💙
Thanks Ken!
How do you cope with engine temperature? That beast produces a ton of heat!
Proper tuning keeps it well within temp 👍🏼
Waaiiit.. why is your pipe in the thumbnail but hpi is on the final product
I was wondering the same thing. When Chris rides it at the end of the video it’s the blockhead pipe but then hpi’s on the final product 🤔
Amazing bike and build serious question though with all that torque why leave the stock cam lock axle adjuster ? Any reason for not going with an aftermarket one or even a aftermarket and or alloy swing arm
White seat gotta go tho. Ehh 😬
Holy moly!!! You guys out did yourself… I want a bike from you now…
Long time subscriber more great content as always keep the great work love the build 👍
Nice bike where we can find those gold stickers?

If you can still turn, you are not going fast enough.
😂
Besides the bike witch is NUTS… you have to love Chris man 😂😂😂
sooooooo i have a 23 cvo and FUCK i want this paint job on it!!!
Bring er by, we’ll get you sorted! 🤘🏼
Cost for the 143 build? I'm getting 25K prices installed.
I can't get past the bars. I'm from Minnesota and it reminds me of the newer snowmobiles.
Once I get all my ducks in a row, I’m having you build me a bike like this!!!!!!!! fuck college who needs to go there, right?!?!?
Diggin this format!! Happy to see you guys having some fun and changing it up, and the new camera looks so good too! Amazing build guys, so excited to see what else y'all are working on 😎
2 different pipes?
When are y'all headed to SEMA (or the motorcycle equivalent) with one of your bikes!?
Hey guys whats up? I have heard of a few problems with SE products. Whats your thoughts? Also whats your thoughts on gaining extra cheap power with downsizing the sprocket size from the stock sprocket for more power?
off topic , love the shirt block.
that bike looks so rad. I really like what you guys did with all the colors. definitely one of a kind
one of the sickest builds I've seen!! amazing !
I love it. . I could do without the #.. and no white seat.. just seems .... girly. Like purse instead of a seat... my ole lady pointed it out on the la diabla build.. now I can't un see it.
I got a 143 BAGGER DRAG BUT SHES TWIN CAM
As a long time Central Florida resident your one liners are so great i appreciate your humor 🤟🏾🤣🤣
171 foot pounds and 149 hoarse! Love it cool build
Sick Ass build… I’m also feeling that bottom up shirt, which is a little more in my price range, what brand is it ?
Absolutely Beautiful a real work of art!!!!
Sooo way out. That has been taken beyond the norm. What besides the trans and frame is still original. Where all of those parts go? Nice.
100k into a bike and no Engine guard/bag guard is wild. Insane build. SFMF
@BlockheadMoto . I see you too enjoy good coffee. I have the same shirt haha.
Damn, that is just beautiful! Amazing job gang!
That's an aggressive potato note coming from the eagle bike.
Great job!! and yes I have subscribed!
Out of the park beautiful and sounds fierce!
who made the 13 stickers?

Ahh, ol block enter the age of the emoji face thumbnail lol.
What a difference from what he originally pulled into the shop with.
I know you don't release numbers on what a project like that would cost, but I can imagine it was a bundle.
Needless to say, you hit a homer with this one.
peace. Eric in Kissimmee.
Thanks Eric!
IMO, those graphics look waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to gaudy/flashy.
I respect you not chasing stupid headline horsepower numbers. I'll bet this is extremely rideable with that torque!
Thanks Steve!

Dude that thing is one of a kind and probly the best looking build I've ever seen. Hats off gentlemen wow. Jesus I can't stop looking at it
Thank you! 👊🏼
Love the color scheme, it reminds me of the Honda 1000rr fireblade sp
We didn’t think of that until after honestly, but can see the similarities def! 🔥
looks absolutely amazing! can only imagine how it rides. Never liked the color combo of red,white and blue on bikes but this completely changed my mind.
That’s awesome, thank you!
Like the shirt Block !
Thanks!
Sooooo when Chris rides the bike at the end of the video I noticed your guys’ exhaust on it instead of the Hpi. What’d the numbers look like with that one compared to Hpi’s??
Good catch! Future vid 😉
The chop tho 😍 fantastic work
🔪🔪
Awsome build but on such a high caliber build why did you guys leave all the stock bolts in the engine trans primary ect. And not to ARP?
We cut back in a few areas to save budget for other areas
Did I hear correctly 149 hp goldzilla’s 131 has more hp?
Goldzilla is running a top end S&S 590 horsepower cam, and we got that on E85. This 143 is on 93 pump gas running an S&S 550, much more rideable vs a 590
I loooooove this bike!!! I think this is my favorite build from you guys so far!!!
Thanks Dustin!
Absolutely AWESOME!
That bike looks awesome. Sounds fucking awesome. Great job guys.
Absolute killer build, love the color combo and they styling, even digging the white seat, which is something i normally don't think I would like.
Only criticism is those ultra tall bars, but hey, not my bike so I get it that if that's what he wanted.
Transmission problems in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....
Beautiful bike BTW!
Y0 momaaaaa!!! lol
Gill must be rich. Or at least he was lol
I will call that bike the “Most Beautiful Performance Bagger of 2023” ❤❤❤❤❤ it’s earn Five stars. Great work - Blockheads 🎉🎉🎉
It's a great build guys! The white seat should help control Swamp Azz on those hot Florida days too!!
Stunning build, my question is for the customers from out of state do they just ride or have their bikes shipped to you. Long ride to Florida from Milwaukee!!!
171 ft/lbs 😳
💪🏼
What can I said that has not been said so far about you guys work & artistic way of coming out with amazing builds .. if or when I have the $ I’ll ship my ride to u guys so that can builds another peace of art… and with the power Bill gave u for his build u should have talked to him out of a white seat…. it’s only my opinion but it makes the build look BAD…
Looks good. The only thing I don't love is the different color head lights. Not sure why exactly, I just think it would look better with two of th same color head lights.
Man I love this bike I would love to do something like this to my street glide special. As an OIF veteran but don’t have the money for all that.
You guys did everything but replace the stock swingarm. Is there any reason why that wasn't done on your end? Or was that a no go for the customer?
I had to put the video on pause to run to the closet and get my matching Dixxon on. I always knew Chris was a cool dude who knew his chit, but now seeing his wardrobe choice, I bowed to his excellence. Oh yeah, sharp bike too😄
Love it, bad ass bike.
I've learned from watching your channel how much taste can vary. I can appreciate the design of all of these bikes, yet none of them are anything near what I would want in a bike built for myself.
That man is a treasure 🤣🤣
That white seat has got to go!
that bike is sick af
What did it dyno at?
Beautiful bike....be proud guys! Look forward to seeing what you do next! 😎
Well done guys😮
They have a 145 now.
Largest we’ve seen is a 159 🤯
@@BlockheadMoto are you going to do one?
Ooooh snap!!! 👍🏾👏🏾
That stump pulling torque!
For sure! 💪🏼
Awesome build you guys nailed it💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of the best looking bikes I’ve ever seen
Thanks Kurt!

Nice bike, looks good in The trailer
