      @@BerserkerNick yeah I know what building a chopper is, I have a 78 shovelhead with a 24 over rigid front end, hard tail, downtube and backbone stretch, neck raked 55 degrees, painted by me, open chain primary, jockey shift, foot clutch, no front brake, king and queen seat built by me, handlebars made by me. Everything I’ve pretty much handmade on the bike. You wouldn’t catch me with twin cam badges or emblems on the tank lol. Sure using other bikes parts or whatever is cool but displaying amf on a non AMF bike is goofy lol.

    always do the rosette weld last to allow for gas's to expel while welding but if you did perfect & low brow & TC bro's sells a repackaged product ,meaning most of what they sell is the same parts that v twin manufacturing , mid usa m/c , drag specialties , midwest m/c & etc , sell Except they mark the price up higher than retail . Support your local chopper shop when you can & keep your money local but if there sending you free parts I understand ,lol.. , Keep up the good videos .

      You won’t see the downtube anyway if you use a horseshoe oil bag. The lowbrow kit and the throttle addiction kit will end looking tighter and more put together than a tcbros kit. I’ve built all 3 and other brands as well. I’d skip the tc kit if I were you.
