*I wouldn't pay more than $3,000 for what I see there. It doesn't have a cohesive look.*
I'd like to own this bike
You need to show more of what's going on and talk us through what it is you're doing.
Like the wiring. What's your testing technique for matching them up?
I'm no mechanic, dyslexic, in fact it scares the hell out of me. Explaining problems I might have on a different year, older and newer models for instance.
I say this because I'm looking hard for a channel that doesn't expect anybody of knowing anything about mechanics whatsoever. I'd rather not have to go to another channel to learn how to rejet the carbs. That music could be filled up with knowledge.
Just saying.
Very cool video, thanks for your time and effort.
Badass build, nice job!
This was awesome.
Nice and simple.. 💪💪💪👍👍👍👍
I need all them parts you took off for my sportster. 😁
I just can’t bring myself to change too much on my 100 year anniversary addition Sportster.
Me either on my 101st anniversary Sporty
And don't worry, because no one sane is going to hate you for preserving a special edition bike.
*And lower the resale value?*
Aloha Brian, very nice job, well done video, very informative, clean, neat and quick. I would like to see a list of parts on sheet that we could screen print, perhaps J & P could help with that. I bought my first sportster in around 1963, a 60XLCH, had several others including a Factory Cafe in around 1977, now I have 2002 Sportster Sport, thinking of Cafe'ing it. Thanks for the effort you put in to this.
Hi Brian, it would have been great to see you on the bike to gauge what the new ergonomics looked like. Otherwise good vid.
That's a nice looking air cleaner👍
Nice conversion. A reserection from the stock bike.
I would lowered the front a lot mores, and converted it to chain drive, but non the less, great build
Nice video, really made it look less intimating to tackle. One day 🤞I’ll do this myself
Would you guys make a video of riding the bike?
Does that filter actually flow any better than the oem one? It's got a very small surface area.
Hi Brian,
I had a question on the wiring. I am noticing in many motorcycle videos the common direction seems to be to cut and solder wires together.
Wouldn’t soldering be an improper option? Since the wire is specified as Stranded, so it can flex and withstand vibration without breaking, and soldering would in essence make that section a solid wire, making it susceptible to breaking via flexing or vibrations?
I ask because stranded wire is specified for boat electrical systems and soldering is not recommended for this reason, butt connectors are the suggested method when splicing is required. And I imagine boats and motorcycles have the same vibration/flex requirements.
I like the concept. Might build me one. Throttle cables bothered me. Wonder if I can dual exhaust it? You know, pipe on both sides of the wheel? Maybe that west coast fairing?
That' is proper tidy
☘
are there spoke wheels available for this bike?
Nice cafe racer, and good video about making a bike as such. You could have put a nice 1/4 fairing on it too; those aren't too expensive.
nice bike.
Got my sp0rtster back in a box from a HD dealer after they striped it for a warrentee reapers only the new flywheel they in stalled to shear of the drive shaft off, then they went out of business. I have to rebuild the enter motor, so am thinking of there turning her into a Cafe racer or a bobber thanks for the video it helps
What kind of a bike stand are you using , very cool and minimal ..I’m doing a cafe racer project on my 82 Ironhead
What gauge/speedometer you use on this bike?
Hi Where can i find those mirrors? :)
What exhaust is that?
This exhaust is no longer available Danmoto Highwayman 2-1 Black Exhaust
J&P Cycles Part Number: 130-1273
Do you know where can I get that same part?
Awesome build,, I just purchased the same bike but I’m trying to make it a bobber, any videos on bobber builds with a sportster??
Here ya go ruclips.net/video/njKCz1Xv6fU/видео.html
@@jpcycles thanks yall do great job with idea builds
Does your Sportster have more than one carb? You keep saying you're going to rejet the carbs.
A better sound clip of the bike would be nice.
Chin fairing quarter inch faring at the headlight 2 inch tank lift with a wire tuck I would have been more aggressive and Tacky
Have you considered a 1200 to 1250 upgrade to the engine and what about the front fork swap to a larger MM?
the 1250 conversion really isn't much of a gain unless you add some cam's . We were on a budget and opted not to do it.
@@jpcycles was thinking of grabbing the S&S tracker package to amp up to 1250 and it includes cams as well. Mind me asking the complete bill not including the bike and what's the spec sheet altogether?
cool work but for ergonomics rear set controls must...
Agreed, the controls are a bit forward for my taste. The owner however is very short and on a budget. But agreed, rear sets would not only pop, but feel better.
The foot controls could do with being relocated and mounted where the pillion pegs should go. Cafe Racer's don't have mid mounted controls.
Depends on what you like. rear sets are definitely and option.
@@jpcycles are there rear sets available for 03 and older?? I couldn't find but would like to add.
Must like getting pulled over for compliance violations?
Budget? I have the same bike & all I did was change my handlebars cause that’s all that was needed. Now you went from getting 45 miles to the gallon to 35 all for a mere 4 or 5 more hp? This is a very nice bike but to me a waste of money. Nice job, bike looks much better
This bike needed rear set foot controls.
So, every part of this bike that is supposed to be Cafe... isn't... except maybe the "cafe" seat... This is what would have been called a 'dragger' from what I used to know about harleys. Cushy suspension, low seat, drag bars, mid controls... yea, dragger.
Every time you say cafe style, you do the oppisite lol.
Cafe bikes were the street sport bikes of their time. Brits took their low power bikes, lowered the front end (not use drag bars), put clip ons or clubmans on there and some rearsets to sort the riding position and add some lean angle for turning. Turning is how they got there fast.. the bikes were sort of slow. The 'flat line' you talked about when referring to cafe aesthetic has to do with the 'line' that runs under the tank and seat.. That's more of an appearance thing that came from the frames of those older bikes and the tanks/seats that would get swapped on them. That line would be very hard to actually get on a sportster whithout a custom tank and seat or changing the way the seat mounts.
The build would have been 100% more cafe if the only things you bought were the seat, rearsets and clubmans. Sid the forks up in the trees a little. Then maybe come up with some way to make the rear end set up higher and start removing weight wherever you could.
Wonder if this is why I see so many draggers called cafes on marketplace and craigslist now...
you did more to advance harley design in 2 short videos than harley did over last 50 years
7000 thousand lol lol lololloolllllllllllllll funny
They aren't buying ebay specials. Figuring a sporster runs 3500-5000k easy. You've easily have another 2k between all the addons. Math adds up.
I took a shot every time he said carbs, nice buzz
Highly unlikely you'll get $6-7k out of a 2003 Sportster no matter what you do to it.
I was born in the 80's, if the tread pattern is from that decade or earlier it will not go on any of my bikes. I value my life too much. I don't care if there modern compounds,, there still junk compared to more modern designs.
