HARLEY SPORTSTER CHOP PROJECT UPDATE | New Sissybar and Handlebars

- Just a small update to the 1999 Sportster Chop Project my friend and I finished up a little over a year ago. In this video, we are fabricating and TIG welding a new sissybar, as well as adding a new set of handlebars for a little bit of a different look.
Back in 1982 I made a sissybar for an old Triumph chop out of some 1/2" bar..... me and a friend got at either end of it and walked briskly toward a metal post that held a road sign..... we went either side of it and the bar bent into a perfect arc and some extra pushing made the 'point'. We then wedged that point into a door frame/jam and put a little bend in the upright part.... result a perfect sissybar - just cut the legs to length and welded some tube on the bottom to take the bolts to the frame. A little peice of flat across the legs to mount to the fender and Hey Presto - one made to measure sissybar... Oh the good old days !
Im going to use this idea! Thanks Chief! A gentleman and a Scholar!
@@joalvarez6252 Don't blame me if it doesn't work for you !
@@thakery5720 a student can never blame his teacher! Thank you Sensei! Haha. Thas wusp! 💯
@@joalvarez6252 There was more to how we made it though.... sitting in a friends kitchen looking at the1/2 inch bar and wondering.... whilst smoking some fine cigarettes.... we just thought' oh what the hell'.... and did it, expecting to fail.... about four of five people having a laugh and trying things for the hell of it....
I wish you luck !
@@thakery5720 Ah yes the cigarettes that bring upon the best ideas! 👌 💯 and yes appreciate it man! #yesca#1
Out-effing-standing.You dudes have some serious skills.Thanks for the clues on the fab table
Direct solutions have a style that is timeless, bravo
Those new bars fit the look of the bike so much better. Nice choice, great bike build, both of you.
excellent motorcycle, from the beginning I saw the wonderful work, congratulations and good job. Regards.
+celso guajardo villarreal Thank you sir!
Gonna go back and watch the whole build, now.
So much more `soul` than the tv show chrome pieces. Dont mess with Texas.
+Barry Thornton thank you for watching!
Just saw all your episodes on the build!!! Really awesome 👌👌
Very beautiful Chopster for the big run
Nice job... You got some real fabrication and welding skills !!!
+David Spin Thank you sir!
Nice fitting job looks great Ride On
still probably my most favorite sportster ever
Great job! I like the new handlebars much better. (Not that I'll be sittin' on her at any point)
I can really tell that you are not satisfied with anything less than perfection and it shows.
I'm hoping to do a chop on a 90's Sportster and the more I watch, the more confident I feel that I might be able to pull it off. Lol
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching!!
Wish I went to welding school... Great video guys thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
You dont need welding school just read up and practice some the morw you do it the better you get although it cost a bit to get started
I weld I never went to school try running some beads
Nice metal fabrication work
Very cool, "Old School" Skinny Scoot; I love it. Peace, Stiletto :)
great videos! I really have a sense on the order of things. Going to start my 1st build soon! videos really helped put things in perspective. need to hone my welding skills
Hey, that's the same '38 Chevy taillight I've got on mine!
Great job nice to see tig instead of mig respect 👍
such tasteful bike! congrats!

RESPECT!
very niiice
Thank you for watching!

+tuffnutt34 Thank you!
Who made the bars? Where these TC bro heated and bent or something? I've never seen ones like them. Very nice.
Where did u get the bootlegger bars from did u fab yourself or did u purchase??? Very nice build!!
Anyone know a company that will custom a set like these for a 2019 Softail Slim? Really want the sissy bars to attach to wheel and not up by the fender. Thanks.
I know it has been awhile since you made this video. But i have a question. Do you still have those t-bars that came off the sportster? If so can i buy them from you?
I myself wanted to do my sissy bar but here in Brazil is very expensive that a blowtorch to warp
You can always cut and weld. We made a square-top sissy bar on my friends Shovelhead chop project. That whole build is documented on my channel. Search my channel and you will find the videos.
Great job fellas. Who's the music by?
BUITIFUL such a nice job ,,,so much l could of done,,,but fuck up my life,,,,,now it,s great ,,,Bad health,,,,l would be right in COLLAGE first one at the Door ,,,,just if l could start over
Why the new sissy bar and what is the diff ?
How many handlebar tall?
If my 83 ironhead was a rigid that's what I would do :/
I love the bike but the seat it's so ugly you must be king and queen seat
