Andy's 1999 Harley Sportster Chopper with Haifley Hardtail Kit
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- Today, I walk us through how I became the big bad boy chopper daddy that I am today. We talk about the origins of my bike and its transformation from an 883 Hugger to a 1200 sportster chopper by using the Haifley Bros Hardtail kit.
If you're looking to get into chopping, this will put you on the right path.
The Haifley kit is now offered by Throttle Addiction.

I sold my bike a little while ago to pay for my girl's heart surgery. It'll be awhile before I can, but your videos are inspiring me to get back on the road. You rock dude!
Man, that is a heavy but beautiful story my dude. family first forever. bikes will come and go but the spirit is the same. good on you dude. wish i was the kind of guy that had some money that those big youtubers and i'd just send you a bike. i'm broke but i fucking love you dude! keep me updated on your girl's surgery and recovery!
pay for her surgery? Must be America.
The last 3 minutes were exactly what I needed to hear today.
be you! forever!
This bike and saddletramp’s tramp are my inspirations for building an Evo sportster chopper. Thank you sir.
Dan! Chop it up dude! Evo Sportsters are tanks man! They'll run forever!
Bro let me tell you I literally watched these first 2 videos, got stoked up, ran out to the shed, and got a little work done. Feels good!
HELL YES DUDE! THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS CHANNEL! PARTY HARD. CHORE HARD!
I came into a Sportster Low when a friends dad passed. Long time big twin rider I was thinking of making it into a chop just for fun. Came across this video and loved your build. But commenting on your edit. Well done man! Love your vibe and your style. Sub’d looking forward to more Party On Forever!
First off dude, sorry to hear about your buddies dad. Second, stoked to hear about your lil chopper plans! Sportsters are perfect for it.
Thanks for checking out my videos dude! I'm just trying to have a good time and encourage others to do the same! send me some pics/vids once you get to chopping.
Damn boe! I love the way you host this build, laughed so much :D Your Sporty looks clean and dapper.
Thanks Janne. Glad you like the bike and the vids. Keep on partying and follow along for more vids.
Dang dude! You really speaking to the hearts bro. Hell yea!
Just trying to keep the vibe nice and airy with a side of party, my friend.
love the pep talk at the end..stay cool and continue to be you..peace
NEW VIDEO OUT NOW! CHOPPERS FOR DUMMIES!
Just stumbled across your channel, and I gotta say; what an absolutely sick Sporty. The colors on the tank were an awesome choice.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I can’t believe I’ve only just stumbled across your RUclips. Legend. You are a funny man. Keep on keeping on brother!
Thanks Alex! keep on partying!
Me watching this video was like:
- Ok a chopper, let's see this guy.
*3 seconds later*
- thats all, I'll subscribe
Heck yeah man! Thanks for checking out my channel! More vids coming soon!
This video is pure gold!! Very well edited and really interesting! 10/10. Hell yeahh brother
Thanks dude! I appreciate it! I have fun with it.
I can’t even explain how stoked I am to have stumbled across your channel. I’m a huge APFP and chopper fan. This legit made my life. ily.
Heck yeah Brian! I'm stoked you found the channel! I'm just over here having a good time! Thanks for joining the party! Also, thanks for joining in on the patreon. I appreciate that. means the world!
I have a 87 sporty chopper and a 92 sporty chopper, F'n love them!! Keep the Party going bro! 🤘🔥🤘🤙
Thanks Mr. Stoner! Partying FOREVER!
That is a knarly bike you've got there. Totally dig it, man.
Thanks man. I appreciate that. Hoping to build another one sooner than later but I’ve been saying that for like 4 years. Ha.
Damn right! Thanks for the encouragement! The bike scene is often too full of walls and fences for entry. Get a bike, any bike, cut it up and enjoy! Cheers my man!
Yeah dude. Everyone is invited. No rules. No judgement. Just ride. 🤙
The Warning in the beginning of the video is all I needed to hit that Damn Subscribed button...now on with the bike!
Thanks for the love dude.
The six over forks are just right. I've never liked crazy-long forks. I've never cared for raked frame necks. Ed "Big Daddy" Roth once told me, "If your forks are over six-inches overstock, take off those forks then put 'em in a corner, install shorter forks, and then go out and have fun with the bike." Great bike, Andy. I'd add a decent front binder. I like that frisco-mounted "axed" H-D type gas tank. Paughco made similar tanks. Vista Chopper Products made those gas tanks back in the early 1970s. Stay frosty, Andy. Ride safe -- Walt Greybeard
Hey Walt! Thanks for watching the vid! I think 6 over is perfect on a stock rake. Perfect mix of style and performance for me. Roth knew what he was talking about. Thanks for the kind words and information. Keep on partying.
Love it man keep me in your prayers 🙏 I get another motorcycle
good luck dude.
Idk if anybody will even know who this is but this guy gives off the same energy Matty matheson does and I love all the videos🙌🙌
I have a theory that Matty stole my identity/personality years ago! He does it so well though! He’s hilarious so any comparison is welcome! Thanks for checking out my stuff!
Agree 100 percent!!!!! Fuck yes
You’re funny and informative…digging it.
Thanks for all the kind words and support.
Dude I love these lol “it’s better to a little narcissistic then hate your self, right?”
You gotta love yourself.
Most helpful video! And by far one of the best choppers out there great work!!
thank you friend!
That's dope man! I just bought a 99 883 and upgraded it to a 1275 with Andrew's cams. Now I'm looking at frames and a springer front for my own version of a chopper like yours!
Heck yeah dude. Send some pics when you chop it up!
Whiskey for everybody! Fun times, sweet scoot. Good words!
HELL YEAH! THANKS MAN.
I'm moving into the chopper forever world ..
Got T.C,.Bros 6 over springer fork assembly,got a chrome caliper,just got done depinning the wiring harness and pulling out the harness through the small holes ..waiting on new neck bearings,then reassembly maybe led for head light ...
Nice dude. Sounds like your putting together a real ripper.
That part of about not willing to give up that last little bit of yourself spoke to me man. I don't quite fit in and that's alright.
As long as you're having a good time, happy, and aren't hurting others....thats all that matters my dude!
You speak to me man thank you for being an inspiration
MAN. I'M JUST OUT HERE SAYING STUFF THAT IS TRUE TO ME AND HAVING A GOOD TIME! THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT.
Man this is exactly how I want my first harley to be. All I got right now is a Honda dirtbike but I hope soon to make mine just about how yours is. That big sissy bar and them forks that are just the right length. I'm subbed. Can't wait to go all over the USA with a few buddies
Nice dude! Stoked you like the bike and the channel! good luck on your search for a sportster and your build!
Your awesome 😂. I really did like the end also! Your a great funny guy
Thanks dude!
Litterally exactly the way I wanna build mine out man. What a sweet ride
Heck yeah dude. Thanks. I’m always open for customer builds if you’re ever in need.
Well I see your in Nashville. I'm not to far away, let's link up sometime and talk about it
where ya at?
Below the boro by a little
Your making me fall in love with choppers when I just got my cvo dyna ): lol
If you have enough money and room in the garage. You can do both. haha
You hit the nail on the head at the beginning. Sporsters are cheap and widely available. Parts and kits are everywhere. Why the hell wouldn't you use them as the basis for a Chopper? I would dare say they are the Duece of the Motorcycle world.
I've said it before and i'll say it again. Sportsters are the best motorcycle of all time.
I about shit when you said you were from Minnesota🤣 I'm down by Roch. I just picked up my first sporty. She's an old one, haven't even heard her run yet and I'm in love! Which brings me here, I like your shit man! 🤘Rock on!
Hell yeah dude! Good luck getting er going! Stick around. More vids coming soon
Coolest narration ever. Like it a lot...mostly on humblin' the Evo Sporster Chopper. You sure know how to chop n shit you got a nice ride too dude. Ride on✊
Thanks man. I appreciate you checking out the video and the bike! More videos coming soon!
Maaaan I've been enjoying my road glide and my yamaha Fz09. So the sporty has gotten a little too cozy in the corner of the garage. After watching vids on these pre fabbed chop ready frames. I'm all in. Love the video! And sick fuckin ride.
SORRY FOR THE DELAY IN RESPONSE. I'M NOT REALLY ACTIVE ON HERE MUCH ANYMORE. THANKS DUDE! GET THAT SPORTY OUT ON THE ROAD.
Your cool mate, love the vid & the editing to put it together..oh & the bike looks cool !!
Best wishes from down-under.
Yo! Ross! Thanks for checking out the vid and the bike!
Lots of new video ideas in the works. Stick around!
You are my new official favorite person.
I will take that honor and wear it with pride.
This is hilarious! Great editing, funny, opinionated. Definitely got my subscription with this one. Bobber Boyyyyyys
Yo Luke. Thanks for the love man! Appreciate it! Move vids coming soon.
Damn, dude you got style. Now I wanna do a hard tail or maybe a swing arm chopper, but for sure it'll be an EVO.
thanks...for reminding me....keep feeding that fire
yeah dude! keep the party alive.
This is exactly what I want to do. Welder/fabricator for my career. Want to do it and then give it to my 9 year old son when he is ready.
Hell yeah dude. that sounds rad. Wish i woulda had a dad that could've gotten me into cool shit. Good luck with it dude.
Id love to do this to my 94 sportster..Looks really old school ..
send it to me and let me build you a rad sporty chop.
-Hey man can you weld?
-Not really?
-Can you weld better then me?
-Most definitely 😅👌
the circle of life.
You're funny. And your editing style...thumbs up definitely!
Thanks dude! I have fun with it!
Were you able to use your stock rear brake caliper? if so how did you do it? Throttle addiction suggests using 2000 or newer caliper.
i picked up a newer caliper. i think like a 2003 softail caliper did the job. i think that caliper was ran on softails and sportsters for a minute.
What a beaut Chopper Andy! ❤️IT!
thank you!!! i appreciate it.
Looks cool bro
thanks dude. i appreciate it.
lol some real biker comedy, love it
THANKS DUDE.
Beautiful chopper - in my opinion the most beautiful style. But will it be suitable for someone 6'2" tall? What is your opinion on this? Maybe among your friends there is someone as tall? Unfortunately, in the place where I live, choppers are not popular :(
Put some forward controls on there and you’d be fine.
@@PARTYONFOREVER They say that at hardtail mids are needed to get up when the road is full of potholes. This is apparently not possible with forwards. I heard about stretching the frame and changing the rake. Can this help tall riders?
This spike looks great. I’m trying to pick up a 97 883 hugger myself. Would you say it’s been a reliable bike for you?
SORRY FOR THE DELAY IN RESPONSE. I'M NOT REALLY ACTIVE ON HERE MUCH ANYMORE. YES. I'VE BEAT THE HECK OUT OF MY SPORTSTER AND ITS STILL KICKIN. EVO SPORTIES ARE SOLID.
@@PARTYONFOREVER nice!! Got a 93 and got my hardtail kit last week. This winter I’m putting it on.
+1 for the Black Dahlia Murder song reference!
I party! ha.
I too have had that what the just hit my leg to find out my cone filter no longer there lol just made me feel better I am not the only one one tip go hard tail LOCK TIGHT every thing
Haha right? It happens. Figuring out a roadside fix is half the fun. Haha.
Is that 6 over with stock rake? Because it looks like a perfect fit
Thanks dude! Yeah it’s stock rake with 6over. Perfect/classic look in my opinion. New videos coming soon!
Hi can you please tell me what tire size you got for both front/rear?
Is the front tire a 21?
tube sizes??
Thanks
21 front. 16 rear.
You deserve more subs and views!
Thanks man. Maybe if i were more consistent with content and uploads i could grow more but i've really been slacking. I appreciate the love.
Cool bike man
thanks Mike!
Great vid!!!
Thanks Derek!
Right on man, hell Yeah you pretty much Nailed it pretty good, I have a 88 EN450 currently on my lift, looking for a hard Tail kit to weld on to it, so I have it on struts, but the starter clutch took a Dump and luckily it runs through the inner primary(🤬🤣), and the carbs really could use some cleaning, really want to find a 2 into 1 intake and drop an electron carb on it
Right on man. Thanks. I’ve never worked on a Kawasaki. Sounds like you got some cool plans. Like to a pic once you got er all built out man!
@@PARTYONFOREVER Hell Yeah Man! 👍
Hey man! Just found the channel and I LOVE the energy. I got a 89 sporty I’m working on and how do you have those forward pegs set up? It’s exactly what I have been searching for!
Yo! Thanks for checking out the channel.
I just have some clamps on my frame with some passenger pegs bolted up to them.
Link to clamps.

THANKS MAN! Have a Blessed day!! I’ll keep watching
You are making me want to do this to my 03 sportster.. Badly
Do it dude! Why the heck not?!
@@PARTYONFOREVER back pain
That bike looks great!
Sportsters are so underrated.
The best part of building a bike, is to build it the way you want, then too proudly ride it.
Of course the stories that go along with it.
Few questions the hard tail ” no shocks” verses the with shocks?
How is your back?
Cornering the same?
Bottom line I want to buy the LTC roller from Paughco: I don't want to find out a hard tail is far from what I thought it is after I build it.
Please share any and all thoughts and experiences too.
Maybe do a show?
t
There’s really nothing like jamming down the road on something you built. Been all over the country on this thing.
I had never even sit on a hardtail bike before cutting my frame in half and hardtailing this bike.
I was riding on 10” shocks on a sportster and I’m 300lbs. So I really didn’t have great suspension anyway.
Honestly I love riding rigid. I will say that I’ve rode 600 miles in one day on my rigid and I’ve rode 1000 miles in one day on a softail. I felt like I was beat all to hell after the 600 mile day on the rigid.
I get on on the bragging rights of jamming a lot of miles on a rigid sportster though. So a little bit of body ache is worth it to me. Haha.
All in all I think the bike is real comfy though.
@@PARTYONFOREVER Thank you for being honest.
How tall are you? I have sportster money but I’m 6’6 haha, you think I’d fit on this thing?
Man, I'm short. I'm 5'7 so its just fine for me.
I have some tall friends that ride sportsters. you'd want forward controls and taller handlebars for sure. might be able to find a softail with some sportster money if you cruise Facebook and Craigslist daily looking for the right deal. Softail, with forward controls and taller bars and you'd be sitting pretty comfy.
Right on!
RIGHT ON! NEW VIDEO COMING OUT THIS WEEK!
Well fuck I love your chopper!! What size 270 are you rocking front and back?
Yo. Thanks man.
21 in the front. 16 in rear.
Hey men, Do you think this kit helps to lose weight to sportster? I have one I want make a chopper, and I need to don’t be heavy because I have a recently hernia surgery, thanks in advance
I’ve never actually compared the weight between my chopper and a stock sporty but yeah, it’d have to be lighter as all the needless stuff is trimmed off.
Also the center of gravity is lower.
@@PARTYONFOREVER thanks dude, regards from Costa Rica... pura vida!
Love you man good words
THANKS DUDE.
My philosophy on passenger seats, is that they should be just comfortable enough that a girlfriend would put up with it, but a wife never would...Lol! 🖖🏿😎👍🏿
HAHA. SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT.
On it ,5mins before dawn coming down from th mountains to the coast, dry road ,dry mouth, moving fast alone in my lid ,I'm at peace
Hell yeah bud!
The party may go on forever, but unfortunately the warranty on my frame welds does not 🤷♂️🍻
I don’t think bikers care about warranties 😂
Man, if your welds failed at this point, I’d say I got my money’s worth. I got crazy miles and pounds on those welds and they are still holding.
Also, I probably just gave you some beer, so I came out on top.
Bike is rad dude
Thanks James!
I love you Andy
THANKS! I APPRECIATE THE LOVE! LOVE YOU TOO! KEEP ON PARTYING!!!!
Where did you get your throttle and clutch cables?
The throttle I use is the Biltwell whiskey throttle.
Cables I’m pretty sure I just sourced from other bikes’ take off parts. I always have stuff laying around.
If you don’t have a local shop to hit up, I’d say Drag Specialties would be a good go to for cables. I’ve ordered from them before.
Choppers, Burgers and metal, fuck yeah!
All the good stuff.
Hey Andy what amperage do you use to tig a hardtail frame?
man. Honestly, IDK. I'm not a welder. I outsource all my welding to buddies. So, I'm not the guy to ask. I'm a fake chopper-er. Don't tell anyone.
Yeah MN, real good.
I LOVED LIVING IN MINNESOTA OTHER THAN THE ARCTIC WINTERS.
Beautiful build man. Was that The Agony Scene in the paint it black cut scene?
yeah dude! it was. I loved that record!
PARTY ON FOREVER! Me too. Sadly I never got to see them live and I lived in Tulsa lol. Figured out why you looked familiar. Seen you live back in the day a few times I’m pretty sure. Crazy a RUclips chopper video would bring up some old show memories. Again, love the bike. I’m trying to find my starting point on a sportster chop myself. Keep up the videos man they’re great! Killer music too!
@@sailparty3585 right on dude! yeah its a small world! Tulsa shows were always a good time! thanks for watching the vids dude! stick around! more vids coming!
Dude who tf edited this video...because I want to buy them a beer.
It’s basically a one man show around here. I do all the editing! I’ll take a free beer any day of the week.
I’m not sure if this is a dumb question or not but does that hard tail kit fit in on a 1200 or only on a 883?
Nah Tony, there are no dumb questions.
The sportster 883 & 1200 are the exact same motorcycle. Only difference is in the internals of the motor. You could put an 883 in a 1200 frame and a 1200 in an 883 frame. Plug and play. Any of the sportster hardtail kits will work on either size motor. Just pay attention to your year model and that it fits in the year range that the hardtail was designed for.
What are the bars like on the wrists? Like is it good for runs or just around town short trips?
Oh man. They are seriously perfect. It’s the perfect riding position for long hauls. If I have a pack to lean on, I could ride for days.
It’s a very laid back vibe. Not aggressive. I’d say it’s better for highway than city. City riding id like something more aggressive.
@@PARTYONFOREVER ritious, my usual ride is an 09 heritage but I still have my 89 sporty I want to do something like this on. One of other fellas has a 2into1 trumpet pipe he says gives him more guts and now you've said the same so I'm coming round a bit.
Heck yeah man. Well send some pics or vids when ya start changing er up!
@@PARTYONFOREVER I intend to mate ✊😎
cool video
thanks man!
my new dudddde!!!!
duuuude. my new dude! dude!
i like your vids,,, wish you gave a bit more detais on fitting the forks, trees , pin , bearings , lines etc,, from the other bike ,, cheers bud
Yo, Thanks for the feedback! I'm still trying to figure out the entertainment vs teaching aspect of all this. I'm pretty bad at actually doing any "how to" videos. I'm making it all up as i go but i'll try to get a little more in depth on the next bike video.
can you explane the front end
what did youmean 35mm over 6
The tubes are 35mm diameter and it is 6 inches longer than a stock front end.
Great video. It's a great time to be alive and people need the reminder you give. Interesting use of the word Narcissism. In the strictest sense, as from the greek myth of Narcissus who falls in love with his own image and never another, you are absolutely correct. An old story to warn of the dangers of thinking of yourself higher than others. I guess the trick is to love yourself, in spite of your flaws, so you can love others in spite of theirs. God Bless.
Love is the way man. Love yourself. Love others. I’m just trying to spread the good vibes! Hopefully people feel the love.
love these!
Thanks! Love you!
Best channel
Thank you dude!!
How do you recommend I get Mykel Hosek off his bobber an on a chop?
Dude, does he know about chicks? And that chicks love choppers? Let him know if he doesn’t. Chicks don’t mess with bobber boys.
There's truth in that
Good lookin motorsickle .
Thanks George!
Love this vid
🤙 thanks Vag!
Great attitude great videos just hard to hear you brother, turn the music down a bit 👍
THANKS MAN. RIGHT ON. STILL TRYING TO LEARN AND GET IT ALL RIGHT. I'LL GET THE PRODUCTION VALUE UP ONE OF THESE DAYS. ITS A ONE MAN SHOW. I'M MAKING IT ALL UP AS I GO. I'LL TURN THE MUSIC DOWN! MORE VIDEOS COMING SOON.
hey man, what size tank is it that you have? 1.9? 2.2?
Yo! It’s 2.2. If you’re into riding some distance, I wouldn’t go much smaller. Depending on highway/speed/etc I can only get bout 75 miles to a take.
Naw man I have been wanting this tank but couldnt decide. Urs looks perfect on there. That exhaust is killer. I'm not a fan of 2-1 usually but u pulled it off very well
Thanks man. I’m not 100% into the look or sound of a 2-1 on a chopper but I wanted a performance pipe with good back pressure since I’m such a big dude on a small bike. Needed that torque.
Wow. This is chopper philosophy as I understand it. And I'm 60. And my bike is 50. Party forever cuz this is the last ride on earth. Stay safe-ish.
SORRY FOR THE DELAY IN RESPONSE. I'M NOT REALLY ACTIVE ON HERE MUCH ANYMORE. THANKS FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT MY DUDE.
Fucking hilarious, great video.
Thanks Oscar! Just put a new video up today! Check it out.
My kind of bike
SORRY FOR THE DELAY IN RESPONSE. I'M NOT REALLY ACTIVE ON HERE MUCH ANYMORE. THANKS DUDE!
Hell yes man bikes sweet
Thanks you. 🤙🤙
Where did you get bars they are killer
Pangea Speed. They are called the Airflow Bars.
you are a fkin idol mate hahahah best regards from Greece!
Thanks man! Keep on partying!
I ride a 06 Sporty custom and now I want to chopper it 🤔😂😂
chop it up.
I will say, anything after 2004 when they started rubber mounting the engines, makes it harder to chop but if you have some know how and some tools, anything is possible.
they make direct weld on hardtail sections for sportsters pre-03.
Funny video..good lookin sporty😄
Thanks man!
