HELL YEAH CHEY! Proud of you for getting on it and giving it a chance. Watching you evolve over the past few years has been a blast. You're a badass!
Thanks for the fun in the live chat I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas filled with love and togetherness.
Good to see all the happiness and good to keep the Choppas rolling along. 🌲🌻
awhhhh... thanks for sharing!
.. so cool to see Uncle Josh teaching & re asurring...😦🤘
I absolutely love the old XS 650 Yamahas, I've had seven over the years. They need to bring it back! Simply the best!
I like how you aren't afraid to try something new.
Good job, Chey
I bet your chopper will be AWESOME!
Eric in Kissimmee.
There's always the option of a standard clutch/shifter for the initial build, but with the possibility of changing those in the future.
Surely the answer is to fit a rekluse clutch so you don't have to worry about the clutch at all and just focus on the hand shift.
I appreciate this video so much. Just for Chey’s wording of not kicking it out of bed yet. Ur badass and a model of a strong woman.
I reckon one of those Royal Enfield 650 engines all polished-up would be dope in a chopper.
If you're doing a suicide clutch/hand shift- look at a Baker N1 shift drum, it puts neutral below 1st, instead of between 1st and 2nd- you'll get neutral every time, the rest is easy
Not really a suicide with a front brake. It's just a jockey shift
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Good for you Chey. Choppers rule!
Chey you are a very important part of BrapStar. I agree with your plan to ride Josh's XS some every day for a week to decide if you want your chopper to be a suicide clutch. I personally would only go with it if the bike I got my engine from had one.
That is one cool looking chopper. It's definitely original. The name is hilarious, the Palmetto Bug.
Looks like it was fun to learn, I would like to try something like it someday. Have to rewire my brain though
Thanks, my brother is building a 650 yamaha bobber chopper in Ohio. He has the ability and time to get right. Not sure I would want a foot clutch/ had shift either.
Have you thought about looking at a centrifugal clutch like the Rekluse clutch? It's like a cheat code for first, you don't have to hold the clutch in while in first and you can just take off. I know Exile uses them quite a bit on their suicide shift bikes.
So, if you get some scraps and some coveralls you can start welding. I don’t know what process you have, but it is fun to work with metal. It is dirty and time consuming and pretty permanent. Have fun! Learn how to braze too. If you get some copper wire you can flame braze copper to steel. Flame welding is fun.
Oh man foot clutch is WEIRD on a bike NGL. I've done it ONCE (and not by choice...) Old Ascot had it's clutch cable break on my way to work. I hobbled it to a store and bought the cheapest locking pliers there and clipped them to the clutch action and Foot Clutch!
So fricken nerve wracking because it wasn't "go play on my street" it was "US Highway through town to get home in 15 miles"
Good times....
You were very brave! 👏👏👏👏👏 I would just keep things standard hand clutch foot gears coz I'd be riding a chopper for relaxation and a suicide clutch is just an added hassle. It'd also be an accident waiting to happen with me, if I was drunk in a field or forgetful or half asleep.😂😂
A good foot clutch will stay down when pressed so you can sit at a light. Then you rock the clutch back to take off. I think they are called mouse traps. Google harley mousetrap and it should pop up. I know a guy that had one on a panhead
A foot rocker clutch if set up with friction washers will stay in release position till you "toe &go. A "mousetrap clutch setup is a mechanical booster (physics) to ease hand fatigue
I'm sure they told you but just incase you can have the shifter next to the gas tank. Some people even put the clutch lever on the shift lever . Lol that look of "what trees?" Lol . Hope you get your chopper done in time. I'm sure it will be cool. Good vid
Awesome to see the chopper getting ready. Also smart to at least try it for a bit and see if it is something you want to keep using.
Aight just got home from a concert,let's watch this before going to bed,starts at 2:00 AM for me
Then to work in the morning at 12:00
I miss my xs650. I had to sell it last year to save my dogs life. Luckily i own a Harley fxds 1340 and cb750 so i can still ride.
Chey...buddy...smooches back at you...glad you're going with a springer front end...getting ansie about seeing the chopper finished... I think you did a fabulous job on the yamaha...that is an odd setup for a suicid shifter because most of them are next to the gas tank...Merry Christmas...much love from Ohio ❤❤❤
Nice job Chey. I've never done it. Been riding for 40 yrs.
A Trouble Head Chopper? Excellent!! Wanna see you kickstart that beast! 🤘🤠🤘
Super cool to see you on the palmetto bug!
Awesome job just scrolling thu chopper vids and came across this 1 definitely gonna stick around
Looking good girlie. Don't want to say you have a glow, but there is definitely a change in energy in you.
Welcome to the Chopper cult! Just wait, our coffee meets are the best! Keep it sketchy!
Chey I do love choppers, cafe,custom etc. Been on 2 wheels since 1969. I also believe in safety and technology and suicide is called suicide for a reason . Modern clutch is my personal pref. But however you decide. Be safe.😊
you have great mentors and are doing so well. ride your ride.
Great job. I've never try a suicide shifter before.
My XS650 has a similar shifting set up...... it becomes super easy within a couple rides. Super tight left hand turns are my only weakness.
You should see if you can try a bike where the clutch lever is on the hand shifter itself. Means you're pulling away with only one hand on the handlebars but at least you can have both feet on the ground. Just an idea :)
If you decide to go with a hand shift you might want to talk to the builder about putting a pivot in it because this will shorten the throw so you dont have to move the shifter as far to get it into gear.
With a foot clutch you should always shift into neutral at a stop light. That way if you lose your grip on the foot clutch you won't get thrown into traffic. This is why it's called a 'suicide' clutch. Jay Leno told me this personally and was definitely not from watching his YT videos
nice to consider what you actually want to do with finished project. i was considering building a rat cafe but then i watched a video where a fella said, what you end up with will be a hunched over posture type of bike to get the cool look. then i thought reality is that race position would mean i would't really ride the bike much. or like the handle bars in this video on the bike you rode, cool looking and all that but overly dangerous, especially in an emergency, panic sort of situation. if you want mainly a work of art sometimes function takes a back seat,
Suicide shifter or suicide clutch both are very cool!
Cant wait to see what you go with on the chopper, although I' am partial to a suicide shifter!
👋 What's involved with that just swappng out the lever with a longer one?
*WHOLESOME PREMIERE CHAT*
That’s a great challenge to try different shifting systems; great job 👏
Quick question for your carb setup. I'm building a 2-1 so i'm ballparking some jet and needle settings. Any chance you remember what you ended up going with and what carb? Any info is appreciated! I got my hands on a VM38 which is on the large side. Keep on choppin 🤘🏻
Damn girl, chopper looks pretty awesome on you🤙🏼
Z bars would look cool on that!!
Could always go for a clutch lever on the shifter in front of you. Keep going and have fun
What bars are on the xs650? I can’t find chrome 7/8 rabbits
Hey Chey you rock, I watched you and Shade over in Oregon last night..You carve. On the road anyways dirt riding.well thats something else again..but there are courses for that stuff. in the start of this vid..what I said, needed to be said upfront..oh and I like the hair in this vid rather than that pink you like to sport. But I'm old not young like yourself.
Great video. I ever tried riding suicide clutch/jockey shift, I'd be all screwed up.🤣
EXCITING! Can't wait to see you fire it up n ride!
That jockey shift is all the way at the back friggin tire! Why?
Merry Christmas! My forehead is happy!🥳
missed it just got home from a ride cheers
I'm proud of you cheyleese
If you're gong to ride that shovel chop,you'll need to learn how to kick it(Provided you don't go electric leg).On that basis,you'll need to kick that xs into life.Using a different technique technique to shade tree.ie wood block under the rail beside the k/stand so that it leans,then all your weight on the kicker.
Chey, that’s a good looking red hoodie - O Mfg.
It seems like a good way to make changing gear more difficult
Hey Chey, what risers are you using on your Sportster?
I wouldn't get a foot clutch... unless you've got a Knucklehead or something that came with a foot clutch/tank shift it doesn't seem worth it. I've never ridden a foot clutch bike, so I probably shouldn't comment. : ) I have a buddy with a 1940 something Harley WLA with a foot clutch, and he offered to let me ride it sometime, but I haven't yet.
I want a chopper now...😂
HOWdy CHEY, ...
Thanks
COOP
...
Tank shift like the 40s and older Harleys
It's gonna be a Shovel? Hopefully it has elec start if u can't kick a 650 over a Shovel is definitely gonna b tougher. Unless it's tuned perfectly and the stars r aligned. Wouldn't recommend a suicide shift for a fairly new rider. Stick w what u know an comfortable w! She's gonna be stoked to b flatfooted w rm.... I wish her good luck gonna be fun
She's not a new rider. She has many years under her belt. She is just little
Think about a foot clutch with the suicide shifter in front
You made a great decision to think on it!!!
Ride on ride safe.
Great looking chopper Chey ❤
awesome great job Chey! .. How did you like the handle bars?
I am so jealous right now. I want to build or co build a chopper.
That a girl I would stay with a hand cluch cheers to ya.
It look nice on you that chooper... Cheers!
I have horrible vertigo... please buy him a gimble for the camera. ... pleeeeeeeze!
I love your channel but he's about to make me hurl🤣🤣
Dudette!!!!! You're a boss!!!
She's get a foot clutch it's not called the easie rider for nothing girl ❤😁
I rode for years and love rat rod choppers but no way I’d have a foot clutch
Aww 🥰💞 it's hard to kick start those. I've never ridden a footcluch handy shift so 🦄💞✨ my hand gets soooooo tired of stop&go,💤 traffic 🚦 lookin good 😊 id offer to let y'all,s play on the welding stuff I have. If y'all are interested. Bizzy hand's are better than 🙄 IDK 😝💞
Thanks chey great video good job
I’m trying to build an old school using a Honda 750 .. I rem
Wow old shovelheads.
You look good and happy !
That’s a nice size motorcycle for her but why not put the clutch where it belongs
LEAVE THE INSIDE OF THE HEART THE WAY IT IS...HAVE HER EPOXY FILL IT IN WITH SOMETHING COOL!!!
Necesito los carburadores de la xs 650cc
I am nowhere near coordinated enough to shift like that lol
Chey you are so adorable 🥰
ummmm now I want to make my XS650 a chopper!!!
You guys are so cool!
Do yourself a favor and get a modern clutch and shifter for your chopper. Its a lot safer and easier. Why make things hard on yourself.
Atta girl 🤘
I have a feeling 95% of what she heard was probably like white noise.
You should absolutely learn to weld on your "1st chopper"... because it doesn't have to be your "1st chopper" once you learn to weld. You can do whatever you want, and you will learn a lot on the journey.
Don't spend the time to learn to lay perfect dimes, and then go fuck up your bike and get depressed is all I am saying...
❤
Try weaved steel clutch wire
What a death trap.
🤘🤘🤘
Mmmmmmmmm byeee. Good job 😉
Tuff Stuff.............
That bike is foking sexy as hell
👍✌️
Chey looking so delicious at 1:02....
