Very cool.
Very impractical at high speeds on twisties, but open roads, very cool.
sickkk good to see another norcal bro. I’ve been driving rhd manual for 3 years now and was recently looking to get a honda shadow and install a jockey shifter on it
Do it!! It’s so much fun
Well done! 👊🏻👊🏻
Thanks guys!!!
That seat is so fucking clean
Def would look cool on the sporty too bro
What a cool bike with Japan vibes 侍⚔️
Thanks you!!
I want to do this on my next bobber project. It seems like it would be fun for something different!
It totally is!!
I'm wanting to do this with my VTX
As a goofy footer, skating the bike off your right foot , could help improve pushing Mongo 😂
Great video 👏
haha definitely!!
That was very interesting. A history lesson, and a tour of your turf in one package. Jockey shift is defo cool. There are riders using it here in the UK, but the roads are so very bad nowadays having two hands on the bars is almost essential. Shame, though.
yeah honestly the roads here are very bad as well in some part its almost not rideable especially with a hard tail. as much as i love this bike im actually currently selling it to get some back suspension again
@ramenrider.mp4 That surprises me. But I get it. Hard tail & Suicide went mainstream extinct in another century. But they're so neat! I wonder what you'll replace it with. It's a whole new adventure. And more RUclips vids I hope.
@@AlfField1 yeah that’s the plan looking at a sportster atm and will definitely build it with the channel
@@ramenrider.mp4 Look forward to seeing how your creativity makes it come together.
@@AlfField1 thanks mate!
I really want to do this on a xs650 I’m building. While riding my other cruiser, I’m trying to break the habit of coming up to a stop sign and not take my left foot off the running board, as if I still have the clutch in. That and turning my bars so the bike leans to the right. Slow turns to the left in parking lots are just going to have to be done a different way or just have enough speed. I still want to do it just to learn, once I get use to it it’ll just be another feature of the bike that I’ll love. This is also why I’m adding a front 21” wheel with a small drum brake, just for them hills it’ll be easier to hold the bike still. Imagine not using your front brake and let me know how it goes because many old choppers are like that. Sorry for mentioning these things before the video was finished because you hit on all of this, but it’s good for people to realize these things. Can’t wait to try it out.
Hell yeah dude!! It’s hella worth it I’m jealous u got an xs650 I want one, one day
@@ramenrider.mp4 it’s all stock but someone did a very slight rake on it, I found a AEE springer for it and it’s about 7” over stock, ditching the mags with disk brakes for drums and spokes.
Hardtail it!!
@@ramenrider.mp4 I want to make the frame dip down and keep the shocks for a different look, but a hardtail would really help make it lighter. Sometimes they make the bike look small vs a Harley but my long front end will help with that. Later on down the road I might go for it.
U use the front or back brake more
Definitely the front
Looks safe to me
If you are one with more torque, it will run away with you instead of dying
Nope, a stall is a stall, just a myth from know nothing people, just try it…😎
Very good lesson but Harley Davidson started in 1903 not 1901 .just to let you know.
Yeah ur right it was founded in 1903 William Harley designed the displacement engine in 1901
The ‘actual’ Harley Davidson manufacturing started in 1903 but they built their first ‘hd’ bike a little while before…
You are concerned about being heard over the exhaust while playing that horrid background music?
Indian was 1901 harley was 1903
this looks extremely impractical ngl
Hahaha it absolutely it but it’s “cool”
“My dad rode race horses for a living his whole life…..As a son and motorcycle rider, the least I could do was pay him back homage with wearing a caliente helmet and jockey shift…”🛰️👨🏻🚀🇺🇸
Hell yeah 👍🏽
