Making A Honda Look Like A Harley.. On a Budget!

- 💭 Making a Honda look like a Harley.. why not just buy a Harley? Well.. good question I don't have an answer to. This VTX was brought to me for installing a 21 inch wheel and fender. It's not exactly a straight forward install given this wheel has Harley bearings and the spacing of the wheel is changed. With this install, the brake caliper would need to be relocated. Not the best set up, but we borrowed some inspiration from someone who has a similar set up.

Hi Brandon, watching your growth is wonderful you are not scared. 😊
Impressive and inspiring
I like that tire replacement tool!!!!!
Good job Brandon! You got it done and all your new/old learned skills were showcased in this one project. You passed the final exam. LOL
I got Shinko 999s on my rebel1100. Surprisingly good tire for the price.
I must say I am impressed. You've come a long way bro! Good stuff!
Dr. Bicasso, progress; forward and onward towards a destination. You have reached that destination!! Keep up the great content. Always eager to see what you are up too.
Great work
We want to hear Woddo child on this Beast.Good stuff dude
Great job pimpin, I really enjoyed this video. But buddy really needs to seriously overhaul the stereo system, he gone burn your work down. Don't need 10 speakers, 6x9 in the lids, 6.5 up front, and one amp, a Hertz setup, maybe 8's or 10's in bags all you need running on 1 amp. Keep it coming brah
I can dig it man. Ride your ride!
I have a 2006 Vtx and now I have 2012 Street Glide.
Brother it do look good, I have a VTX also made up like that to. 6x9 amp and LED lights.
Bicasso Christmas List - table vice, drill press.
That loose front end feel was common in the early days of running a 21" wheel. The best fix was to lower the forks 1 to 2 inches. Progressive shock company makes a fork kit that's super easy to install.
I thought the raised front end could’ve contributed to some wind turbulence also. It’s not a fun ride. I’ll run it by the owner. 🤙🏾
This VTX has since been painted green 😅 Sidenote: didn't paint the lids. Last minute change.
Maybe you should weld that hole closed on the brake caliper to avoid friction stress failure between the drill holes, especially in the front wheel. ✌️ Just a suggestion from a Top Secret Co barstool engineer, not the casting couch. But still, I was told No Teaching.
I see the paint getting better “” I see where too get my hood painted
Yeah great job bro you definitely got some skill man I got the VTX 1800 purple rain I just spent the day redoing my stretched bags because I didn't line them up that good the first time but I got them on they look awesome I got my USB wired in there oil change front and back pads change my drive shaft fluid out and I want that 21 inch front tire bro I know the other guy I watched him do his he used a victory wheel is that what you used or is that a Harley wheel up and they look the same or is a victory of Harley I want all them specs and prices if you would that's my next project putting that 21 on oh yeah that's right I got to figure out how to get the descriptions
That seemed like a lot of work. Nice job. I do have one other question. I have to remove my rear wheel for my ‘22 CDH. I’m upgrading my rotor. Do you have any suggestions or things to watch out for. Thanks ahead for any input. 👍🏽
That wiring had my OCD in hyper mode. Wow....
Try putting those wheel bearings in the freezer for several hours. It’s amazing how much less effort you need to get them in when they’re that cold
I haven’t seen much of a difference tbh. ruclips.net/video/qkDVyouuf0E/видео.html/&t=18m21s
@@BrandonBicasso I’ve had good luck with it. Love your videos Brandon keep up the good work!
Yeah, still doesn’t hurt to shrink them by a wee bit!
Dang!!! Sooo did he say the wobble was there before?
😅 nah.. if the tire/wheel had anything to do with it, it’s because the suspension is raised more in the front causing wind turbulence. I wouldn’t know without taking the front end apart and checking the bearings. The best way I can describe the issue is like loose steering or oversteer in a car. Typically that happens with bearings or the adjustment of them. With this bike having a lot of added weight and geometry issues, changing out that wheel shouldn’t immediately cause a wobble like that. Besides the wobble at higher speeds, it’s stable. Rides soft in the front, stiff in the rear. As for him knowing, he maybe had the bike a few weeks before bringing it to me. No knowledge on the history of anything with it, unfortunately. I don’t think he got it up to high way speed to experience that happening, but he’s a new rider also.
Looks nice. He needs a regulator upgrade for all that audio.
All you have to do now is to get someone to sign write on the tank "Hardly Davidson"
😂😂😂😂
Just add a bolt to that hole you tapped to plug it.
Larger regulator and stator.
I just paid almost $900 for new tires for my 22 Chief Bobber. What are your thoughts on sealing the rim to cancel the inner tube? Would you do it to your bobber?
I’ve never done it but it’s not uncommon to do so. I haven’t had the need is all.
I have cut my fingers on many single din radio cages. It always sucks
Sliced mine reeeally good. 🌝
Do you want to sell that old fender?
Frankenstein bikes scare me.
I just never got why I would ever need a speaker system on my bike... can someone explain? I don't even play music in the BT of my helmet. I just listen to the bike and nature
Depends. I like music same as I listen to music in my car. Or while I work occasionally. Adds to the vibe. I also ride without music so for me, depends on how I feel. Speaker systems for some are for show as it is their entertainment.
@@BrandonBicasso So, it's for show, I respect that, although I would rather let my engine do the talking. Cheers from Sweden
Part of it is a hear me see me kind of thing. Sort of like overly loud pipes. Like why, right?
Harbor freight sells cheap press.
Don't get sued by Honda or Harley!!! lol
This is driving my anxiety through the roof!!!! All that ass and can’t even get it wet! None odd the system is weather proof and all that after market will NEVER seal correctly!
I agree. 😬
WIELD CLOSE THOSE WRONG HOLES.
The best thing about Honda's is the aren't Harleys.
oof, that speaker and amp set up is garbage, dude needs some saving quick!
