Guys apologies for the sound (up's and down's), unfortunately I edited late at night and I didn't proof listen fully to the post production edit. Hopefully you all still enjoyed the final episode of the 200 rear wheel series. Thanks for the support (and understanding on this vlog)
Motonewbrider thanks mate, your Vlogs are dope love your bike also been a Sub for a while bud since u had the other sporty. hope u Sub back keep making vids mate cheers.
Fair play to you for going through the cost with us. A lot of RUclipsrs tend to keep that sort of thing hush-hush and I can never understand why. Cheers for the content, mate.
I am amazed at the sense of joy you have. In America where these bikes are plentiful, these are the choice for low income riders. I am not a person who cares what others think, but these bikes are frowned on by many a big twin rider. It only matters what you think and I like the finished product. Keep on rocking and feeling the breeze.
Henry Wilson that's a real shame, if that is the attitude. The sportster is a more cost efficient way of jumping on a harley, however by the time you've customised it, it has the same retaile prices as a Breakout in some cases. I've even sat on a Sportster that is in the £40,000 range. For people that snub the sportster as you mention they are pure jack asses ( as the yanks say ). I could afford a fat boy s if I wanted to, but nothing gives me a greater smile than my sportster. Thanks for watching buddy 👍
I am not a Harley rider but as a fellow motorcyclist I can totally appreciate your excitement towards this conversion. You have a great channel and I always look forward to your videos. Maybe one day we can meet up, would love to hear the bike and maybe have a cheeky go on it 😉 all the best!
Allen, I am from the states and I heard the word cheeky on a Mel Gibson movie about the American Revolution. The British Col. called him a cheeky sort of fellow. What does cheeky mean in the Brit. lingo? Thanks. Been wondering about it for yrs.
great build i got a few question you may have already gotten. First off what kind of lights are those (rear lights and Turn signals.) ? secondly how did you get them on the swing arm? and lastly product description?
LOL.... To be honest mate the number plate cover was a last minute thing, for some reason I chucked it on. But you're right it doesn't make a difference.
She's a gem! You'll have to consider bringing her out to the Bike 4 Life festival, just over the border from beautiful Wales and attracted 6000 riders last year!
I know this video is old now, but thats a beauty pal. Looking to get myself a sportster now think its time to put the gixxer to commuter status and a HD for cool factor
Looks awesome with a 200 on. You said you can fit a 180 was it straight on, anything extra you need for this, like wheels or anything else, I would be great full for a reply, thank you.
looks awesome....noticed everyone that dos this mod converts to chain....is it a must to make it work or can you still stick with belt when converting to a wider rear wheel on a sportster?
Hi , been watchin your videos , I am wanting to put a 200 wheel tyre conversion on my 2016 48 could you send links or let me no what swing arm mods need doing . Steve
Fuck'n hell man, it sounds like there is no baffling in those pipes, and the exhaust tips are just under your right side. Do you get a tone in your ears after a ride?
Im sure that exhaust would have you a little hot around the beanbag on a long summers day..love the big wheel conversion, i always liked the later model wheels better on the 48..wonder if it would be possible to widen the later model rear rim? Not a bad effort.
Awesome works..luv it..i just wondering..does the bike getting higher after u changing the wheels or more lower?have u modified ur 48's more radical by lower the height or using a monoshock..why u changing the belt by using the chain?what size front and rear sproket?..and what about the speed is it get more faster after using the chain?
Hey just found your channel, great vids man! I have one question does that cut fender still stop dirt from flying up onto your back on a rainy day? Just curious - Cheers
Awesome mate, hope you enjoy the content. Mate that fender wont stop anything .... LOL.... However this bike is not my commuter ride, it's my pleasure ride for when I'm off in the sun.
Tyre was £160 mate on the rear, cant remember the cost of the intake but it's Joker Machine. Didn't remap after install - did try with my V&H FP3 but was pointless.
Motonewbrider awesome ride. I've followed the series for quite a while! What do you think of the pipes' noise? Do you use ear protection? Is it your daily rider/commuter?
Around 2.5k without VAT, including labour, I guess. TBH, that seems to be a pretty fair deal. Considering the work-quality and the result, I thought it would be more expensive. Nice job, nice bike! (even though the exhaust is a bit too loud for my taste)
I've mentioned it above but unfortunately I edited late at night and didn't proof listen to the post edit - sorry man. I'm bloody gutted. Anyway onto the next one.
I've seen a few of your videos, great channel. I've got a question though. Are those custom pipes? I love the look and like to do something similar on the 2018 iron i just ordered.

Not fan of small tall rear flare I rather put original flare back on it will look more lowered and sleeker
Motonewbrider
Excellent mate I prefer this way than you add some music and talking on top of it 😂😂😂
Keep biking 🏍🏍🏍
Thanks for vid 👌
Can you do this and still keep the back seat? Maybe without cutting so much off the back ?
Fair play to you for going through the cost with us. A lot of RUclipsrs tend to keep that sort of thing hush-hush and I can never understand why. Cheers for the content, mate.
Thanks mate - I think it also helps other expectations on going for this mod (understanding the cost)
That little sporty came out kinda sweet and the exhaust sounds sweet I can hear it from the states
Ha ha probably mate.... She is quite loud :)
That exhaust is a monster! Love the sound!

You can probably meet up, but hands off his Harley :) (probably what he'd say)
Allen Christian with a polite smile as I say it
Allen, I am from the states and I heard the word cheeky on a Mel Gibson movie about the American Revolution. The British Col. called him a cheeky sort of fellow. What does cheeky mean in the Brit. lingo? Thanks. Been wondering about it for yrs.
glad to see you back on your scoot
Me too Dave.... The suns back out so riding as much as possible.
our climates are very similar,with the amount of rainfall we get lol
you got the most incredible gorgeous Sportster i've seen on RUclips (and i've seen a lot of videos). congratulations!
Thanks man, it's not everyones flavour but I love it.
I love the chain drive. Hell yes. This is an amazing platform to start off with. Cheers.
great build i got a few question you may have already gotten. First off what kind of lights are those (rear lights and Turn signals.) ? secondly how did you get them on the swing arm? and lastly product description?
First off the shot of the back tire is sick... can't believe those indicator lights are legal....njoy!
LOL.... To be honest mate the number plate cover was a last minute thing, for some reason I chucked it on. But you're right it doesn't make a difference.
I love the turn signals great idea
Bargain . Looks awesome and the workmanship from RBK was pure quality 👌
what front wheel is that?!?!?!
She's a gem! You'll have to consider bringing her out to the Bike 4 Life festival, just over the border from beautiful Wales and attracted 6000 riders last year!
I know this video is old now, but thats a beauty pal. Looking to get myself a sportster now think its time to put the gixxer to commuter status and a HD for cool factor
did you have to change the swingarm to fit the 200?
Lovely job. Looks and sounds epic
Thanks man.
Love the sound! Awesome looking pipes! Like the gold chain also.
Thanks fella, hope you are well in the US!
Ya, what is with the chain anyway? Racing? Looks? Just the one thing I didn't quite understand.
Bout freakin time!!! Congrats
LOL.... I know mate.
Looks awesome with a 200 on. You said you can fit a 180 was it straight on, anything extra you need for this, like wheels or anything else, I would be great full for a reply, thank you.
Lovely bet your made up by it. Looks stunning bike! Love the sound.
Looks and sounds awesome man! Worth the wait, looking forward to more videos on it.
Thanks mate - me too.
Looks awesome mate! Nice mods, have fun!
Thanks Dion!
Congrats looks great! Enjoy!!
Thanks fella
Love the 200 mod, not a fan of the pipes, looking forward to seeing what comes next
Where'd you get the tail/brake lights and turn signal lights? Brand? Part number? Very interested in these
Beautiful
good day !!!
the exact size of the rubber can you ask?
Will rubber 200 fit on the stock wheel ????
Russ did you proud looks spot on i will be looking out for you when i'm out and about probably hear you first mind :)
Mate defo.... Hopefully soon.
I like your exhaust sound! Mine is Just like that. Loud!
Beautiful bike, what was the cost of the exhaust?
no excuses now, 3-4 vids a week now you've got your bike back! :P
1 a week i'm aiming for mate. LOL
Lovely job
Thanks man
Looks great !
Hi there dude I like the transformation of your golden 48 like wide tyre exhaust and chain drive nice work
Beautiful bike.
glad you seem happy.
Thanks mate, I am fella :)
Love this channel, called sykes HD today would love a 250mm back wheel on my 2018 xl1200cx
why weren't the rims spinning on the car @ 9:17 ?
I really wonder these black brakes how they look after some miles. Absolutely beauty bike.
I'll keep everyone posted mate.
Damn, This is LOUD! If i do this to my bike i might go insane!
Nice mods and reasonable price. Just need to get out and ride, better weather s on it way.
THE bike sounds Awesome.
Hi, did you post the suppliers list? What and where did you get the chain conversion more the front sprocket, is it offset? Thanks Neil
It’s a crime that these don’t come with a 200 standard. Looks so much better
really happy for you mate!!!! love the "WHAT THE" look from a few people when you ride through the town hahaha enjoy ya dirty stop out 😉😉
Ha ha .... I need more singing though, I'm slacking mate.
Motonewbrider ah all good, you like your really busy mate!! keep up the great work!! am so jealous of your new bike ahhaah
Excelent, understand back wheel/rim is 17x3.5, what about tire size. Love your bike.
I believe it said so in the ledger he posted. Had the tires and sizes i think
looks awesome....noticed everyone that dos this mod converts to chain....is it a must to make it work or can you still stick with belt when converting to a wider rear wheel on a sportster?
wow!!! nice mod!!! and the sound!!! hooo yeah!!!! Loud pipes save lifes!!! ;-)
LOL - Cheers mate.
love the conversion on your bike, what the rear light that you use and front turn signal light? thanks
What was the music that ended at 3:00 ?
Man I love the conversion. That would look so great on my 48 😌
Hi , been watchin your videos , I am wanting to put a 200 wheel tyre conversion on my 2016 48 could you send links or let me no what swing arm mods need doing .
Steve
looks great mate - need to change out those stock pegs though!
100% agree they look horrid :)
Bike is looking and sounding great. Ride Safe
Thanks fella.
Fuck'n hell man, it sounds like there is no baffling in those pipes, and the exhaust tips are just under your right side. Do you get a tone in your ears after a ride?
GrecoRoman123 nope... it's fine ( for me anyway )
Why did you point the exhaust upward instead of downward? I can’t imagine that is very comfortable with the exhaust blowing right at your leg….
Im sure that exhaust would have you a little hot around the beanbag on a long summers day..love the big wheel conversion, i always liked the later model wheels better on the 48..wonder if it would be possible to widen the later model rear rim? Not a bad effort.
Awesome works..luv it..i just wondering..does the bike getting higher after u changing the wheels or more lower?have u modified ur 48's more radical by lower the height or using a monoshock..why u changing the belt by using the chain?what size front and rear sproket?..and what about the speed is it get more faster after using the chain?
Fking awesome!! Love the exhaust great work!! I want one!!
Hey just found your channel, great vids man! I have one question does that cut fender still stop dirt from flying up onto your back on a rainy day? Just curious - Cheers
Awesome mate, hope you enjoy the content. Mate that fender wont stop anything .... LOL.... However this bike is not my commuter ride, it's my pleasure ride for when I'm off in the sun.
Hey man nicely done!!! Awesome sound. Do they did the straight pipe with no buffer? how did you tune it? Thanks in advance. Ride safe.
Yes there is no baffling. To be honest I haven't tuned it, I think the sensor is doing what it can.
Looks nice good job just needs a low Easy riders stretched tank 👍
Dude the fat tyre looks sweet.. I like your air intake too .. can I ask what that cost you and did you need to remap after installation?
Tyre was £160 mate on the rear, cant remember the cost of the intake but it's Joker Machine. Didn't remap after install - did try with my V&H FP3 but was pointless.
Bike is sweet, I’ve just bought my first 48 and fitted a stage1! How’s your range? I’m not getting passed 55
hey mate, do you get to use the whole area of the tyre before the pegs start to scratch?
wow totally worth it, btw can someone tell me the song name at min. 2:05 ? THX
Band is called Brave Yesterday mate. Uk band.
Great looking bike before, amazing looking bike after. Well done!
Cheers Gary
The exhaust end is benden upside.. during rain it won’t harm engine ? Just a question
How about the acceleration ? Is there any difference ? Nice bike btw, greeting from indonesia
Hello.... Compared to my V&H Grenades I would say the acceleration is slower.
Hi. Would be possible to get some info about that Rough Crafts seat? I literally can’t find any specifications about it. Thanks a lot.
Ciao. Vorrei fare gli stessi lavori visti nel video ad una 48 nuova, ma sono in Italia. Voi lavorate anche con clienti italiani?
It’s amazing 👀 good sounds good where is this place mate i am sure after seen yours it’s time for change thanks for your videos
What kind of brake/turn signal is that and what kind of mount is that?
Goodmorning sir. I have 2017 iron 883 , I was just wondering what size is this front and rear tires?
Nice. I have a similar project
1794 £ was just the rear wheel? But what was the total cost of everything he did?
Where can I buy the 6.00 x17 rim?
cool as Hell. the exaust sounds good just be careful on wet roads with that fat tire. looks awesome.
Will do fella - it's super dry at the mo, so the bikes sticking really well. Avon Cobra's are an amazing tyre.
Motonewbrider awesome ride. I've followed the series for quite a while! What do you think of the pipes' noise? Do you use ear protection? Is it your daily rider/commuter?
love it!
Can you come to texas and put a phat tyre kit on mine for 1100 quid?
the built minus a few TBA is RM10,000 in Malaysian currency and we can buy cars with this money. demn ... awesome ride btw.
That monster look good.. the sound is good but the exhaust i think all the heat goes to your leg..
She is a totally trick ride, Newb. She definitely cost a pretty penny, but I think it is well worth it. Enjoy with good health, bud :-)
Hey Buddy, glad you enjoyed it - I think its worth it also mate. Just been out for the day on her and I couldn't stop smiling.
What is that exhaust
One Word Awesome..
THANKS!
Link for those micro signal indicators?
Around 2.5k without VAT, including labour, I guess. TBH, that seems to be a pretty fair deal. Considering the work-quality and the result, I thought it would be more expensive. Nice job, nice bike! (even though the exhaust is a bit too loud for my taste)
LOL.... I don't think the exhaust will be a crowd pleaser :)
no chain or sprocket guard??
Does look the bollox though
Ohlalalala!!!!!!!!! It coast 1794 = nearly 2 041,50 Euros!
NICE
The bike looks and sounds AMAZING!! Great Job!! But dang dude, normalize your video sound. I kept having to turn up and down the volume.
I've mentioned it above but unfortunately I edited late at night and didn't proof listen to the post edit - sorry man. I'm bloody gutted. Anyway onto the next one.
whats the second soundtrack? please thanks
Links in the description mate. The band is called Brave Yesterday, UK Band.
Are ur legs in contact with the exhaust... doesn't it cook u
Clean and mean
Hell yeah!
I've seen a few of your videos, great channel. I've got a question though. Are those custom pipes? I love the look and like to do something similar on the 2018 iron i just ordered.
Don't you get ticket after ticket for that sound ???
This is the UK. Traffic cops are few and far between and generally can't be arsed with things like this
hell 2 the Ya !
Nice, with the brakes getting worked in I'd be watching the car in front.
Where’d you get the wheels at brotha? And what size wheels and tires?
