    Lowbrow Customs is the best. Todd's Triumph 650 engine rebuild video series has been an invaluable resource. The English 101 and 102 videos are also full of great information. Being new to vintage British bikes, their videos have saved me many times.

    Love your videos, Weems. I'm going to follow this build closely.
    The guys at the Ride Factory (especially my pal Shelby) are top-notch people and mechanics.

    Love to see Austin going through emo phase. So many of us have been there, done that. He at least has a great set of parents to guide him through these formative years.
    Also, awesome to see more progress on this sporty! Keep up the great work.

      😂 that’s so funny right?! I remember when I was his age and really couldn’t give a shit what my pops was doing either.. just wanted to hang out with my friends & go to shows.
      Glad he has cool parents that let him be his own self like I had.

    My friend had a sportster (1975 gold) when I was 15. By the time I was 17, I was making payments on my own 1980 Sportster. I rode it to school and then to work everyday. That was 1981.

    Weems, looking forward to this build, A HARLEY at that. Nice. Is that Sporty a bolt on rear? Noticed you got the weld on hard tail, or is it? Avon is indeed a British company but owned by Cooper tyres Ohio USA, Who are now owned by Goodyear Ohio. Swallowed up by the conglomerates again! Anyway did I hear you say another David Mann Bike. I’m going through all the old David Mann Paintings, Ahaaaa two many to chose from. Wait a minute is it the Guy with his Chick in the Dessert and flat tyre, ( its not an Avon is it 🤔 ) and the Lightning coming down. Noooooooooo don’t tell me you’ll spoil it😄 Weems Have a Good one 👌

No rake, short fork extensions, "frisco" mounted gas tanks, cobra seats, pearl ribbon paint jobs, and truckloads of chrome. Here's wishing you a lot of sucess with your Sporty build. If it turns out even half as nice as your Born Free 13 Turnip build, it'll be a K.O.! The Lord Jesus keep you and yours safe and well.

    There's plenty of chopped up Sportster's out there. Leave this original, even the paint, alone. I really like your builds but this is a mistake. Even if you started with just a motor. I guess it's too late now.

      @@emmanuelraes803 I would not say that iron heads are everywhere I don't see any in any of the motorcycle parties I go to my buddies 87 Evo Sportster is usually the oldest Sportster at any party unless somebody is answered something in a bike show. I just think that he could start with a rigid frame and then add parts to it instead of chopping up a beautiful vintage bike because don't forget in the sixties people chop Knuckleheads and panheads as you all the stock Parts away. Now I have a Triumph with a bolt on rigid frame so if I wanted to go back to stock I could go back to stock without a great deal of work.
