did the same mod on my wideglide. only I cut the bottom of the fender and rolled it into the frame . my passenger seat mount is now my solo seat mount and no expensive paint repair. plus factory finished edge
Motonewbrider I just heard you guys have a meet this Saturday coming in towcester?? I would have popped down but have a dyna and live nearly 400 miles away which would take about 6 hrs on my bike.. hope you have a good day and also take some footage...
I bought a k model several years ago that some one had cut the back finder off and every time it would rain it would sling water right up my back... you can have my part of cut offs.
Yes, I think it looks great. I have one. I’m curious to know how much it would cost to do that and how much would it ruin the bike value as well? I most definitely it’s not for two people. It’s for one person. It’s Intown fun bike.
Fantastic!!! Love the individual look! I noticed you've gone for a side mounted plate?? Where from?? Who's?? Been looking for the right one and I think you have it! Can't wait to see the new pipe(s) Mark. Don't be too long next time ;-) Regards Adam
As someone who is a trained bodyworker I think this lad, while coming across a bit carless, is actually really good at what he does. He uses good technique.
Jeffrey Salgado mate the pipes are being made on Jan 12th so part 3 will be up on Sunday 15th January 7 pm ( uk time ) - I've got my next vlog up this Sunday which is Battle Of The Kings 2017 where I show the final build of the sportster for Shaw Speed and Custom - mental bike !! Thanks for the support Mate
Nice video mark, bike looks nice n clipped now, those strut covers, are they a Harley part? how does doing this mod affect resale if indeed your intending to sell on?
Hi Kev, overall I believe when you start customising if you look to sell the person buying needs to have the same taste as you, so that narrows your market so it's risky. Interms of value all money you put in post stock I believe you will lose 80% of it. The market is full of sports that are super competitive in terms of cost. I will keep this sporty now as i plan to mod the hell out of it. The strut covers are called cult works I believe, I made a spelling mistake in the vlog - LOL. Take care Kev
Rk honestly mate it's fine - you just need to plan certain journeys.... when I first had the 48 I was slightly anxious because of the fuel situation but now I don't even think about it.
The shorter finder made a big difference my friend. Bad ass ride.
Mohammed Barlow thanks fella
Short enough to look good, but not quite long enough to ride two up on occasion. I'll go a little longer
Just ordered a 2017 48, can't wait to start the custom job!
Gordon Joyce it's addictive !!
Very brave! Nice one! Looking forward to the rest.
Lake Geneva48 1 more week mate then the exhaust is going on can't wait
Top marks too the tech for letting you film him as he worked his magic...
he's a star mate - lots more to come from Russ as well, he does all the fabrication for the main dealerships. Very well known and a great guy.
Awesome job guys, i loved the new short fender
Dam! That dude was pretty good. And it did look on your bike and will look even better after it's painted.
Sportster Fanatic it looks awesome mate she did the photo rounds on sportstergram ( Instagram ) got lots of attention 👍
did the same mod on my wideglide. only I cut the bottom of the fender and rolled it into the frame . my passenger seat mount is now my solo seat mount and no expensive paint repair. plus factory finished edge

I can't find the klock werks strut covers anywhere online, can you please point me in. the right direction?
What kind of spacers did you need when you swapped them out with chain sprocket?
Looking good mate, I really want do mine but MRS has said no!😂 where am I goin sit she keeps saying lol good for u mate,
That's a tough one, perhaps a second bike LOL
Very interesting.

Adam Lewis It's from
Shaw Speed & Custom
Really like the builder, seems like he really has done this before Hey Boss! Sorry ya cant hear the accent.
amazing view :)
different eh :)
Great looking custom mate, what other changes do you think you'll make?
Exhaust next - Hand made by Russ (who did the rear fender)
So sick and easy
who makes those strut covers? I know it states klock werks but they said they don't make them.

Harley - Davidson number 1.🌎🇺🇸🦅🏍
#Freedom.❤
At 4:07 you mounted klock werks strut covers, where I can buy it for my 2013's sportster iron? I really need them! Thanks!
Gabrifol I think he means cult werx
where's part 3? enjoying the videos mate

If you cut the frame , than is any possibility to put a second passenger sit?
NOPE
What would you do if you want to pick up some lone as a passenger?
This is like getting a tattoo and the tattoo artist says, halfway through, “Are you sure you want to do this?”
How come everyone cuts the struts off the end of the frame ?
thank you
How to setup camera on your helmet?
If Harley diversifies its riders, should they also do it to the dealerships?
Sir, I want to work with them
What do you do about the tank capacity on long rides??
Rk honestly mate it's fine - you just need to plan certain journeys.... when I first had the 48 I was slightly anxious because of the fuel situation but now I don't even think about it.
Just plan getting fuel ever 130 miles or so. Atleast what I do with my 883
If someone could make a replacement for the struts [to be able to ride 2 up] they would make a fortune !
what brand is your exhaust?
craik Vance & Hines
I liked it better stock
How is it in wet weather now?
try not to ride in wet weather. I can imagine my back will get wet
But it looks way good then before great job!
U think 48 i capable for daily commute?
I want too learn how to custom Harley I nam from India
Beautiful bike! Love the Confederate flag in the background! Beautiful!
I'd go ape shit if I had seen my bike there next to that grinding with no cover over it.
너무 야맨데 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
No more two up riding and muddy water all over your back in the rain not to mention butchering a perfectly good bike.
Whyyyyyyy ???? :-( i know this is your choice Mark, but im sorry i don't like. Original was nice. :-/
thats cool not to like it buddy - thats the purpose of custom its to suit you not everyone else - hope alls well.
You cut your fender....you suffer the one behind you, splashing mud on their face....nasty and unethical issue...shame on you
