Man….how dare you take a motorcycle that you bought and paid for, and put your time, funds and energy into, and make it into the bike you wanted it to be?! The nerve!! 🤣😜 Keep on keeping on homie! Like the motto goes “not for everyone” 👊🏻👊🏻
Because the exact same thing could have been accomplished by buying the few pieces he took from the donor in the marketplace instead of destroying a clean, only factory original once, vintage EVO. Wasn't necessary and definitely not cost effective. Not to mention those of us who appreciate original vintage would like to deter others from doing the same thing, especially when parts are so prevalent in the marketplace, whereas factory originals are not.
No way I could've looked at that Heritage and saw that chopper hiding in there. You've got a great eye for seeing what most of us can't. Oh man that build turned out just gorgeous.
@@LNSPLTBLVD Excellent built, Man. Just one suggestion you might consider adding a Front Fork Brace. The brace will help make sure the wheel runs true. I have one on my '89 Sportster that I built into a Street Tracker with no front fender. Looks Kool 👍
Having the tools makes it easier, but having the ability to use those tools properly and have a vision of what your making makes a true artist. That was a fantastic transformation, you are a true artist when it comes to chops, great video.
You could build one just like it and for less money with a little research. People don't realize how easy HDs are to work on. Since you won't need the stock cosmetic parts you can buy an ugly condition Evo Softail, hardtail the frame (or ride it for a while to be sure your spine can hang with a hardtail, Softail frames can make clean customs) and freshen it up with a rattlecan (X25 works well) paintjob then make it exactly how you want it over time. The custom parts market makes it very low effort so go for the bike of your dreams. If new to this do buy a complete running donor.. Any later model Evo Softail will do that has the Denso starter (which also means spline shaft gearbox). If it's to keep you can use a salvage title donor bike (many get insurance totaled for cosmetic damage and that's coming off anyway).
save your penny, brother! We all started off with a dream, if you really really want it, you will find a way! Think of it as a crack head, they dont wake up thinking that they are broke and cant afford a fix. So they find a way, follow your dreams, its never too late!
Wow, I'm not sure why I'm here since I don't own or ride bikes, but I love your build. It feels so rudimentary and utilitarian yet full of character and beauty at the same time. It just doesn't pretend to be anything more than what it is.
There are plenty of them but the short custom is a lot lighter. People sometimes forget why bikers took off the dresser parts in the first place which was for performance. You can split the difference for a very popular style of the 1970s HD copied with their Shovelhead and early Evo FXWG. The nice thing is you can change flavors on big twins if you get bored and not have to switch bikes.
The bike is beautiful. I love all of your builds. You are a very talented young man. No Disrespect. But I would have never Used a beautiful survivor Bike. Be careful, ride safe.
Beautiful! That’s the way we would have done it back in the day, the only difference would be lacquer instead of powder coat, and the engine. If I were building it the only difference in style would be to rake the sissy bar to match the angle of the handlebars, add a p-pad backrest, and pegs for a chick. But, everybody builds to taste, and you got perfect taste, Dave Mann would be proud. 👍
Damn man! this is my world! Harleys, bobbers, choppers, exhausts, wrenchin'.....love the details! like that starter button, love those cocktail shakers! they sound terrific!.....I would not recommend using that hardtail frame south of the border, I know in the states roads are like pool tables, but here even the Sportster being the smallest most rigid Harley, then again it has suspension, feels like a real boneshaker literally!....I would add some forwards since I bloody hate mids!.....I love the way the frame looked sandblasted, would leave it that way.....anyhow it is a kickass chopper! ride on man!
That's a beautiful build, I've just got into Harleys and bobbed my Sportster. I also like the 21 inch wheel and got one on mine. Awesome to watch your build though 👍👍👍
Attempting a offroad biased sportster. Should I go for an 03 no rubber mount and carbed, or a 07 with rubber mounts and EFI? Upgrading suspension with 15" in the rear and some real heavy duty moto forks etc etc.
Watching the video of making a chopper makes me feel so excited and want to learn. This is South Korea. Chopper production is too expensive. How much does it cost if you request a chopper like the video above? Thank you for always showing good videos.
@@SantanaBinks boomers ain’t gonna give a shit. Boomers would do this and replace everything they could with shitty home depot hardware lol. You’re thinking “collectors.” fk weekend warriors.

Great job!! I'll bet the bike really rips now without all the extra weight!! I have a '96 FXSTC that I bought new that I always wanted to do something similar with. How much do you think the bike weighs now?

The only caveat is if the donor was on a rebuilt title.

When you buy a frame and slap a motor in it not hard to see the chopper hiding in it lol

lol huh?? he took the engine out and put it in a completely different bike.

Thank you brotha, just tryna add another bike to my portfolio
Gonna show this bike to my dad! He’d love this thing! Crazy transformation!
Let me know what he thinks
Man, I wish I could afford to buy that bike. No doubt, I'd be one of the happiest men on Earth. Great job 👍🏽
He sold it pretty cheap. 12,5k I believe

@@FelixHorvath-b4t 12k is not cheap. I've seen pretty sweet looking choppers for 5k
I absolutely love the exhaust. A very nice job with beautiful results.

Simple and clean. Great build. One of ma favorites that you’ve done.
Thank you!
I'm not much of a harley guy but I've always digged the highway lights on the big baggers
This is an absolutely clean build! Love it. Definitely going to take some notes for when I build up my next chopper
This is one of your best videos yet, very professionally shot! Beautiful work too!
Thank you! I appreciate it
I'm such a dork...I kinda liked the heritage.
there are all sorts of lovers and no one has to be the same, we all love them bikes and that's totally cool bro

Shovelheads are cool...but this bike is a continent crusher and looks absolutely sick while doing it...for me this is where its at!
I love the sound of it, turned out so good.
Thank you!
The "Support Yourself" sticker is awesome!
Dang, That came out beautiful. Great work!
Thank you!
Having that kind of skill is awesome.
The bike is beautiful.
I love all of your builds.
You are a very talented young man.
No Disrespect.
But I would have never Used a beautiful survivor Bike.

Great bike. Love the stance and it’s beauty in simplicity. Good work.
You're skilled as all hell to know how to weld, route wires, fabricate, etc. Sweet, sweet build.
Thank you! Always keen to learn new stuff
Definitely “The 3 E’s” there Son! Makes watching the build so much sweeter when I recognise the roads you took on test ride. 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
Glad you were able to see them in person

Nice! I have a 1986 wide glide with extended forks, 80 cu in Evo. Ride it every day still.
Evos are badass
One of the nicest bobbers I’ve seen. It’s so clean.
I like the switch from before and after, nice build.
Excellent work 👌. Thanks for showcasing your talent. It’s definitely inspirational.
One of the best chopper builds imo.
no way i would of thought this started out as a heritage. Good job
Great build. Sounds great, looks like a David Mann sketch. Good job
Great job bro love how you took grandpas bike and made it yours 🤘😎
You did an excellent job on this bike conversion. Well Done!!!
Thank you my friend

Simplicity at its finest! Nice build!
Evo is such a good base. easy and simple sounds great
this is my ideal bike, absolutely righteous
Killer build👍
I have only one word for you my friend .....Artist amazing work 😊
Thank you!
Righteous scoot!
Congratulations.
Love the creativity bro, especially the chain doo- dah keeper for the throttle cable!👊🏻🦾
Absolute beauty of a build
Great job! It sounds and looks stunning!
Thanks a lot!
Good job!!! Love all your creations, you are a craftsman really!!!

Thank you my friend
Nice build back in my day did this all the time now just old man bikes for me lol nice build congrads
What a true work of art man. Well done. 🤘🏾
Sick job man!
Good job at making it look easy. Smart use of an older Evo.
Thank you! It was a fun build
I love how realistic this build is! What brand and specs are the frame you used?
Frame is a Santee, stock specs
That's a beautiful build, I've just got into Harleys and bobbed my Sportster. I also like the 21 inch wheel and got one on mine. Awesome to watch your build though 👍👍👍
Very cool - does it get registered now as "special construction" or are you able to retain the HD title/registration with the new hard tail frame?
Nice, clean, straight up chopper man 👍
very detail & proper build,really love u works 🍻
The donar bike looked great, how did you find such a nice '89 looked like it had near to no miles on it. amazing build
Great build and awesome transformation. Very inspiring and informative 😎🔧⚙️🔥
Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks good
Thank you!
Beautiful beast... Still dream on it... Bali boys
Looks good and sounds good!
So sick! I love it.
10/10!!! I really love it!
Very clean build, well done.
awesome, nice and clean has a good look and its practical looks like you can get some miles n not be hurting

Such a sick, clean build dude 🤩🤘🏾 keep it up bro!!
Appreciate it!!
You make it look easy.
Beautifuly and tastefully done sir😎🇺🇸
Really like the coil relocation
Great work brotha
their knowledge on bikes is insane
Beautiful! 🧡
Got any videos where you talk about the business side of your builds? Investment, ROI, how you got into this?
Now that’s a bike. 👏🏾 my goodness!
Very clean.. been working on my dyna wide glide is on tictoc for now
Nicely done. Bike looks and sounds great. Looking forward to future builds.
Thank you!
Looks nice❤ Your pharmacist/drugstore will love you as a regular - ibuprofen -in - bulk - buyer!
Great job! She's beautiful!
Thank you my friend
Nice build you've really caught that classic chop vibe, but no front brake I understand the aesthetics, but....terrifying! lol
Congratulations on making a long distance cruiser and a original American icon now a hard riding unpractical short distance waste
Great build and beautiful outcome
Righteous Chopper!🖤🖤🖤
Propper chopper, nice dude.
man i’d love to have this knowledge
Sweet ride , nice job 👍
You should name it boomer tears.
… do.. you realize what generation INVENTED this style of motorcycle…?
Dont it has other meanings
@@cody735100Yes but now they would cry at the thought of someone chopping a 89 heritage softail.
You should have left it alone

Crazy nice and simple nothing over the top but boy she turned out sweet.
What's up East Bay ! Petaluma here and I love your channel and your style. - Mike
As always, VERY nice build brutha!!
Thanks man
Truly, a work of ART man. Beautiful !!! 👍😎👍
Thank you!
Wicked bike mate 💥💯
Super clean bro. Looks like you're about to slide straight off that seat tho. I would have brought the sissy bar back for a driver backrest
Nice work
Pardon my ignorance, but why did you use two 30 amp circuit breakers? I imagine one is for the starter and the other one is for your lighting?
Great job!! I'll bet the bike really rips now without all the extra weight!! I have a '96 FXSTC that I bought new that I always wanted to do something similar with. How much do you think the bike weighs now?
Skills. Love it.
What you use to seal the petcock? Got a leak before from previous owner and now i've done full re-paint on everything i kind of dont want that to happen again.
