This is it, what you've all been waiting for! The grand reveal and the sweet sweet sounds of that Hooligan Exhaust in the wind... (record scratch)
Doh! OK, let's wire the bike up first.
Todd shows you how to wire up your tail light properly and gives lots of tips and tricks on how to test your connections and light to make sure you are installing it correctly. He also shows you a good way of tidying up the main wiring harness by the back bone before putting on the gas tank for the last time.
After the seat gets installed t's time to stop and stare at all that we have accomplished together. Todd walks you through the bike from front to back and gives an overview of all the things we added to the bike to make it the way you see it now.
Watch as Todd takes off on the bike for the first time. He gives it a little hell as he rips around our neighborhood. "B'da, B'da, B'da... That's all Folks!"
We really do hope you found these free tutorial videos super helpful and inspiring. One of our main goals with this project was to show all of you how to build a really awesome bike, step-by-step, without doing any kind of welding or major fabrication work.
We feel this bike is a great example of just that. So break out those tools, grab a beverage, and get in that garage! We are excited to see your rendition of the Saturday Sportster. Thanks to everyone for watching and we hope to see your Saturday Sportster come to life on our social media channels. Post up your Sportster project and use the hashtag #saturdaysportster
Till next time... we will see ya in Saturday Sportster Season 2, which is already in the works!

Keep going on this series! Or start another Sportster project! This was an awesome series.
Yes! Hardtail next!
We are filming now
I look forward to seeing a hardtail build!
This has been as good as Saturday morning cartoons were as a kid! Thanks for the series, I learned a lot here!
I remember those cartoons. They were excellent. They don’t have cartoons like that anymore. Bugs Bunny Rd. Runner Yosemite Sam Saturday mornings were great.
don't be sad that it's over. be happy because it happened.
Truth.
Loved every minute! Thanks for making such a great video and sharing this process. 🙏
Very cool build Todd! Just bought my first 1997 Sportster 883 and love it.
Great series. Todd has a great persona with all of his noises and euphemisms. I’ll never forget the “F” bomb when he yanked that fork tube off. Lol! Good stuff!!!
That was hilarious! Looked like a new shirt too. I never wear anything that I’d regret tossing when I’m working on my bikes.
T Mann is half the reason I exclusively shop with you guys.
Possibly the most entertaining mechanic in YT Land, certainly one of the most knowledgable.
The bike? Not sure about the rear fender, and it needs a front, otherwise, sweet, my cup of tea.
This series has given me the kick up the arse to restart my own project! Thanks fella! 😊
It's a sad day 😣..saturday sportster has finished!!!!!!
Now what am i gonna do ? , thanks professor todd for the time and effort you and your crew put in for doing this amazing build 👍.
Take care on the road mate and stay safe, peace out ✌
Build one !
@@kurtfoulke5130, hum ......not a bad idea......but i aint got the money !!!.......unless you wanna give me a donor bike !!?😁
Take care on the road mate and stay safe.
people will always complain about the smallest thing; the music that is kinda there, kinda not is annoying. Great build, great explanations, love it.
I need season 2 asap in my life or I’m gona hold my breath until you come with season 2 !! My life is in your hands !!🤢🤢😂😂👍🏻
We are filming it but its gonna be a bit different.
If you hold your breath, you'll just pass out and start breathing again.😁 May very well be a good alternative to melatonin for going to sleep issues though🤷🏻♂️
As usual clean precise and down to earth presentation.
Outstanding job! You make it look so easy, decades of experience. Thank you for sharing that with us.
Tip when you want to pull wires through conduit or tight cable channels: Use some alcohol. It makes the wires slide way easier und evaporate afterwards without any residue.
I always have a spray can of isopropyl alcohol around for jobs like this in my shop!
Fantastic tip, thanks!
I can't think of an example of when alcohol doesn't help 🍺
I would have never thought about it. Thanks
Yeah how much alcohol do you need to drink?
Rust is Gold are awesome! Super helpful.
Thanks for putting this series together. I always smiled every time a new episode dropped.
I watched every episode of this series. I always liked Sportsters but never had a reason to own one. Now I think I need one.
I watched this custom rebuild from Day One to Finish......You really made it fun, Thanks'
MAAAAANNN!!!!! TODD I SHOULD HAVE HUNG MORE .... WHEN YOU SAID CHINGA, I ABOUT DIED ..... TOOK ME BACK TO BOSTON HEIGHTS.... can't believe I worked in the bay next to the old school chief Todd.....
Awsome from start to end.. great looking bike
This series has been great. A 1-hour finale is a great Father's Day gift. Looking forward to Season 2. Woo!!!
Great looking bike rebuild. I generally look to Todd for some of the maintenance or modifications on my Sportster, as he makes it easy to understand an very relatable. Hope to see another series and great to see Todd enjoy the fruits of his labor.
My summer project is getting my 1971 Triumph T120R back on the road. I've had this bike stuck in the corner of the garage for over 30 years. I got it started the other day after 20 years. It started on the first kick after refreshing the Amal carb. Yes the guy I got it from put a TR6 head on it. It's in a 1965 frame with a bolt on hard tail. I just put in a new clutch that I got from you guys. It also has a Girder front end that I'll have to restore. It still has the original tires and tubes that I aired up a week ago and they are still holding air. They of course will have to be changed. My next step is knocking out the ball bearing races and putting in the new roller bearings that I've had for 20 years.
Great series, more please. Todd is the man. woooo!
Awesome build. Thanks for taking us on its journey. Can’t wait to watch the next series.
This was a fantastic series to watch and learn from. Thank you for the content. Great looking project bike.
I really hope there’s another series coming up next! Really enjoyed this start to finish. Thanks for sharing!
Currently filming another series as we speak
WOOOOOHHHHH Thanks Todd for the best series on RUclips. Looking cool 😎 out on the Sporty. England 🏴
That thing looks awesome. Love the black tank and AMC decals. I was hoping the end of the video would say they're raffling the bike off, but I guess I'll have to build my own if I want one. I hope they do another build series. I vote for Tuesday Triumph, using a vintage Bonnie or TR6. : )
AMF decals..... AMC was the beloved auto manufacturer that Dodge bought and killed, AMF is the bowling equipment company that nearly killed Harley-Davidson.
Edit to add: AMC- American Motors Coporation, AMF- American Machine and Foundry
@@Bahlzeron AMC could be a movie theater or that cheesy tv network ?
AMF didn't nearly kill Harley Davidson, they rescued the company from extinction.
@@kurtfoulke5130 by the time Harley-Davidson was bought back, the company was going under due to AMF's negligence, poor quality control, and how they treated thier workers. AMF saved it just enough to try to use it as a disposable cash cow, and when they were done handed off a ruined company.
@@Bahlzeron by 69 H-D was in trouble, luckily American Machine and Foundry stepped up with the capital to bring the Motor Co. back from the dead.
Modern manufacturing techniques & facilities, engineering, design & advertising made them #1 in the heavy bike market again.
Thank AMF for the XR750, disc brakes, electronic ignition, mag wheels, the Super Glides line, rubber mounted frames, the Softail line, the Evo motor ... the list goes on !
Poor Quality Control can be blamed on the UAW Union more than the manufacturer.
I still have original 40 & 50 year old stock bikes that run flawlessly.
Enjoyed watching this series...thanks Todd and Lowbrow Customs!!
Great Job Todd.
FANTASTIC SERIES, TODD MAKES THE WORK HE DONE ON THE BIKE SO ENTERTAINING AND FUN TO WATCH, GREAT GUY AND FULL OF INFORMATION, ON THE TEST RIDE TODD CHOSE NOT TO USE A HELMET, GREAT TO HAVE THAT CHOICE, CAN REMEMBER WHEN I STARTED BIKING THE CHOICE WAS YOURS, NOW THE ONLY TIME I CAN HAVE THAT FREDOM IS WHEN RIDING IN THAILAND, HAVE A COUPLE HUNDRED BAHT TO PAY THE POLICE OFF IF THEY STOP YOU, THANKS TODD, ADE FROM UK.
Nice build, made my Saturdays that much more to look forward to.... what's next???
Todd is the coolest!
Great series, thoroughly enjoyed every minute, your a great teacher. 👍👊
The gas tank looks absolutely awesome!
Great job, Mr Todd, I wish I had the money to send you my Saturday Sporster and let you do the same thing to it. WOW ,what a great improvement, very impressive, thank you again for a job well done, 💥💥💥⚡⚡⚡🏁🏁🏁💯💯💯
Awesome job, now I'm sad because the series is over!
Home Depot sells these little butane multi-tool torches. I used one extensively when wiring my motorcycle. I could use a soldering tip to get my joint together and then pop it off to use a heat gun tip and get that heatshrink on. Works like a charm.
Great job Todd !!!
I've watched you build this bike from episode 1. It was great.
If I pick up a Sporty, I'm going to do just what you did.
Thanks.
Love the powder coat finish. It’s gonna be super durable for a bike that might see dirt, too. Love the series, sad it’s ending, but looking forward to the next season!
Careful with the powder coating, it's not very resistant to solvents or even gasoline.
Once it looks like shit, it's pretty much too late.
Great season 1, I really was entertained by Todd I was even a little sad that that the series was over. Great work
Todd, the tank looks good. The bike looks good. Better then I thought it would. Thank you for doing it,in a video. I like the Saturday Sportster. Please do a couple more of them.
Thanks for the series, superb, very entertaining enjoyable content. You Sir are a Gent !
Nice ride and lots of tips and tricks. Watched the whole thing. Thanks Todd and LowBrowCusums.👍
Great series of videos ! Thoroughly enjoyed watching 👍 Keep those Sportster projects coming 🤘🏻
great series so informative and love your easy going style lookforward to another series maybe a Ironhead sporty ??
you maybe right...
I found this entertaining and informative. Todd is a nut. Love it
Thanks for this awesome series!
Clean looking bike! Really enjoyed this series. Thanks Todd!
Came out really nice. Now I want to build one just like it.
Nice job Todd. My three cents -
1) When splicing a harness, stagger cut the wires to avoid having a football under the heat shrink & lessen the chance of a short.
2) If making a true scrambler, use the stock or fab a plastic lower rear fender guard to keep rocks & mud from your electronics area.
3) A fork brace can help keep the front wheel going in the right direction.
We weren't making a real race bike, and we debated going with a rear fender or not. wanted something we can off road or on road. probably will put a dirt bike plastic fender on the front eventually. but figured fun bike to rip around the streets for now. thanks for the love and input.
Excellent series. Good job Todd and the gang.
Enjoyed watching the series, very informative.
Great series. Thanks UK.
I had no idea J. Mascis was a Sportster guy...(sorry first thought.)
but seriously, very well done Lowbrow! This is the first one of these i have seen ,and I will binge watch the others!!!
great series, i learned alot from watching. Hope there will be another series soon. Keep up the great content guys.
Currently filming another series as we speak
@@lowbrowcustoms thats awesome, cant wait to check it out.
Fun looking bike- great build Todd
Awesome work Todd, Sounds well that sporty :)
This turned out awesome! I thoroughly enjoyed every episode! Wish I could afford to build something like this, someday I hope.
Dude... that bike is awesome!
Really loved this series. Entertaining, learnt loads, am now looking at your website, and it was fun! Oh and bike looked great.Please do more sportster vids and projects! All the way from London, UK.
Very much enjoyed the build. Nice job.
Damn, THAT BIKE SOUNDS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Todd look forward to the next one
Love the AMF tank logo.
So original, you only see them Everywhere these days 🤣
Noooo! The one thing you don't want is to be associated with AMF!
Great job Todd thanks for sharing amazing
there is prt number for that d shaped channel for wires!awesome series by the way!thanks
Awesome series 🤘🏻hope to see some more
I reckon powder coat speaks well to the overall bike style even if it isn’t clear coated and all……it does have a luster where if you keep it clean it’ll look fine til it wears out…
I really dig the result.
Inspirational, thank you
Cool beans man!!
Binge watched the whole series and it was great. A little disappointed that you didn’t have a cost breakdown on the entire build. Also, did i miss you ditching the front fender ?
Heres most of the parts we used for the build. www.lowbrowcustoms.com/collections/the-parts-to-build-the-saturday-sportster-from-season-1 Also, the front fender was removed in episode 1 at 6:53, he says he may want to put it back on or not, but we dont really talk about keeping it or replacing. In the end we decided not to run one. You can though. its 4 bolts. :)
Great work!
Looks really good guys. Be even cooler to powdercoat the motor black
I hope that Todd gent likes his job, he is quite good at it.
That's the only way I do shrink tube, and I have a heat gun! Boss hates it, but he's not in the lab/shop.
Looks good!
You’re like the bob ross of motorcycles
Come on Todd put together another project, please!!😁
make sure you bring the wood blocks with you so you can put it on the jiffy ;)
Could you please.. let us know where we can get the tools you use or links.. this is awesome series keep them going.
Bravo !
That's one cool bike. Kinda what i want to do with my 1200
I really enjoy the Saturday shows please I know they take a lot a time and money have more that use low cost bike to start with, choppers, cafe bike, long distance bike or clean up a stock bike
Saturday Shovelhead next !!!
Oh noooo! Saturday Sportster is done. What am I supposed to be doing now on Saturday mornings?
Building and riding motorcycles !
It came out dope! Hope you guys do another sportster series!
Im curious, did you guys have to tune or re-jet the carb or anything like that with the new air filter/exhaust?
o.k., is it for sale or is it the shop bike? This was an excellent season, Groveyness Abounds.
Headlight wasnt on bro? I thought it had to be on at all times as soon as ignition was on. Just saying so you can be seen as if Cagers ever see you. “NOT”! But damn nice build. Love the older rigid mount Sportys I have a 2k 1200 Custom. I will never get rid of .
we have a switch on the top remember, it can be on, off or high beam, we can run no headlight in our state of ohio legally. :)
man i like the sound, how much of a lift with that suspension?
Harley Davidson, Ice cream & Todd 👍
I noticed that having raised the front and the rear suspension the prop stand was left somewhat high and dry. Is it a new stand or can the OE one be modified?
Hey are you guys going do a second season of Saturday sportser
This guy went from Bike Nerd to Bike God in 13 episodes.
Let's go uhulllll
High gloss top coat is only for weekend warriors!!!
Trying to find that tank decal guy. Rusty Gold? Got a link Todd?
Rust is gold from belgium
