when it comes to welding,metal work I am sooo lucky to know the best inTHE WORLD. I live about 10 miles from BATH IRON WORKS and i haveMANY friends who work there.They make all the destroyers for the United States Navy.
Wow! As soon as you said, "...Mississippi Gulf Coast...", I realized that RIGHT NOW, Hurricane/Tropical Storm Sally is doing a number on you guys. Please stay safe! I'm praying for you.
We're all good now here on the homefront. A cool front pushed it further to the east at the last minute. All we got was a lot of cloud cover and wind gusts. Thanks, Boomer.
As a new subscriber, I cant even watch this right now. Again, so sorry for your loss and what your experiencing today. Prayers for you and your family.
Always a good thing to have friends that don't mind giving a helping hand. Chopper is coming together nicely. Ride and be safe and try and stay cool down there in Miss.
most of the HD channel guys on youtube just make repetitive vids gloating and gabbing about their new late-model Harleys, not even doing their own tooling, but THIS FELLA is one of the few actually doing the Lord's work with his DIY stuff. The modding and building is were it's at, because in 50 years, no one is gonna give a shit about your blacked-out stage 4 M8....it's the benchmade Ironhead custom chopper that'll make the panties drop
There’s nothing wrong with what they do if you don’t like it don’t watch it ,,,,,ppl are different and do different things ....late model harleys are awesome too ,,,,be proud of them
Looks like you made the right choice , twice. Right tank, and obviously the right welder/ fab guy. Big shout-out to all the fab guys in the world , coming from an old ex machinist of some 20 plus yrs. Fab safe / Ride safe. Guy Speight
@@SaddleTrampTV here's that video installing the oil tank.. ua-cam.com/video/H6dzWP2v8pM/v-deo.html, feel free to check out the other vids, at least you will learn what NOT to do!
Great job drummer! Tank looks sharp, and looks even better snugged up in there perfectly! Your project is comin along nice brother! Thanks man for sharing with us an important part of a build. Troy done an awesome job on the fabrication 👍🏻! Blessings your way 🧷
Hey thanks for the battery recommendation,worked out really well.Was able to find an original lunchbox ironhead oil tank on eBay so ole buell chops coming together.Many thanks brother,keep it rubber side down ;)
This oil tank really gives the old school look to the bike, you 're lucky to have such a talented welder as Troy in your area. The Iron head is coming to life soon. Cheers.
oil tank looks kickass! 🤘😎 got my old ironheads topend bck 2gether an runnin day b4 eye left for sturgis. hada blast an she screams! am home now catchn up on utube vids.
Hey, huge heads up. Wash that tank out like crazy. Those come with sediment in the bottom. I’ve made the mistake of blowing up a motor for not properly cleaning out that oil tank.
Also wouldn't it be a good idea to use a filter temporarily leaving the tank? My guess is that a large fuel filter in warm weather would flow just fine and the pressure guage would confirm it.
Great video. Your friend is very talented. I think I can see the bike now and I have some opinions but I am not going to say until it's closer to done. Not that you care nor would I because it's your bike and I believe you have a vision. Thanks God bless
just saw the Swapped My 103 Twincam For An 80 Inch Evo the first vid I saw from you,now this one 2nd,might check out the channel more tomorrow,4am here now :D gtg to sleep now good night I like that Heritage I saw,nasty bike,suppose u still have it was looking for some vids bout the Evo engine as I was saying in that vid too,might get an Iron 883 from 1990,I currently ride a Yamaha Dragstar 650,wanna get a Harley and might start with that one
Well I got time to get on a Harley even if it ain't gotta be this one,I'm only 24 :P started riding in may 2018,started on a Yamaha Virago 250 from 1989 :D It was perfect to start on but yeah too small both in cc and in size,I am 189cm,kinda tall for that one XD sold it last year and got the 1998 Dragstar 650 in february this year,the bike I have rn,loving it,not sure for how long gotta keep it but yeah,pretty good one I also still have the A2 license so yeah this one fits perfectly,changing it now and getting the full A livense,in october have the exam for that
Some vids with my bike if u wanna see it :D ua-cam.com/video/czj6_S6EIPg/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/8igY68dX9Ng/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/dfJ3KwFJ9-k/v-deo.html
i'd have been tempted, while you have Troy's can do ju ju available, to notch the oil tank around the vertical frame member. Would have introduced a new minefield of issues to negotiate, but then if it was easy everyone would be doing it.
Looks good brother, been a bit not sure if I told you yet I got the super e on my old iron head and man is it a new scoot thanks again for the great advice brother man maybe one day when we get these little piglets finished we can ride together. Lookin forward to the next vid on the the old iron head
Not sure why but I’m not getting the notifications when you post a video...I’m subscribed and got notifications on 🤔...might be late but late is better than never...
i don't own an ironhead so idk , but the clearance between the tank and the motor looks like the motor may vibrate and hit the tank. idk , i hope not . i have seen some motors vibrate/shake a lot so thats why i mention it. good vid
Nice work on the tank Troy being videoed while you were working on it must have been a pain. Hope you get some extra work out it to make it worth your time. 👍🍻
Wow, that's a tiny tank. You gonna run an oil cooler? I don't want be a buzz kill but two things to consider at least. #1 Is the oil volume enough to allow the oil to cool. #2 Is having that small of a volume so close to the Head, cylinder and exhaust port going to allow the oil to cool enough so you don't have overheating issues. It looks cool but was it designed to be used on a dependable, long haul daily driver or on a bar hopper/Show bike? We all know heat kills, Ironheads don't need any help in the "It's going to break" Department. ;) Yes, OEM tanks are close too, but the tank extends much further back away from the hot bits and have more volume.
That music playing while you two are setting up the mount of the oil tank sounds like its straight out of a 70s TV show. You paint that tank right it'll look like a little hog.
$50/hr holy crap is that cheap! I could transport my bike down there from Massachusetts then back up and it would still be cheaper than around here. Pill looks good, did you try any newer horseshoe tanks where the oil lines are on the right or were they all too big? I only ask because I love the look of the horseshoe tanks with the solid exposed lines ( those would have most likely been hoses but still cool looking )like on my 2002 Twinkie Night Train. In fact I think the chrome bent exposed lines look sexy, I can’t believe enough people complained that Harley decided to hide them. Imho seeing all of the exposed mechanical parts is what makes them look so horny. Looking good Tramp, keep up the great work! 🏍💨
I've have a Harley 81 sporter it's completely stock. I'm thinking about making an old school bobber out if it. Some one help me with two ideas. One hard tail with wide wheel two just hard tail with normal size tire. Where can I buy materials with out having to find fabrication company and just do it myself

Thanks for letting us take part in this project. And this tank is looking perfect 👍
Thanks for coming along!
Always a good thing to have friends that don't mind giving a helping hand. Chopper is coming together nicely. Ride and be safe and try and stay cool down there in Miss.
Thanks man. I'll do that.
She's looking good Tramp!! Won't be long before your takin the Ironhead for a test ride. Can't wait for that!
Meeeeeeeeee too!!
I have used so many TC Bros products on my 73 and my 87 sports that it’s ridiculous. Great parts, great prices and their customer service is AMAZING!
Yeah they do have some good stuff. And great support. I agree.

Hope my Chennai ends up being something
That turned out beautifully man! Congratulations 👏
Thanks bro.
That hoist sure does make things easier. 👌🏽
Yeah, it makes me a little envious. Lol
About to install my TC Bro oil tank and watching this took out some of the mystery, Thanks guys!
Right on! Glad this helped.

Outstanding video man! Tank looks awesome! Well done !
Thank you so much, bro. I put so many hours into this one.
Love that style oil tank.. your bike is going to look great when you're done with it..
I am in the middle of building a chopper myself and this is just what I needed to see to get me into the oil bag THANKS, MAN!
Glad it helped, Tedd. Thanks for watching too.
Like OEM on old bikes, but in this case good choice on the TC bros tank Welder did a great job and has a nice setup.
Thanks, man. I think so too.
Looks good! If it looks good....it will ride good.
This project is moving right along looking good. Very interesting video I like the look of the oil tank.
Yeah, Kev. It's quite a journey.
Nice, way better than that flashy box.
Man I'm from south Mississippi! Born in Gulfport and lived in Pass Cristian and then Laurel until I was 15 and moved to AZ.

I think you might want to run an oil cooler with that setup
I will. I've got one that I'm going to use on there.
It turned out good 👍👍🇨🇱
I agree. Thanks

I'm about to build myself a tramp as well. Hopefully these Mississippi roads won't break all the welds lol
Awesome content as usual 👏👏👏
Thanks, man.

That Ol scoot is coming together now looking good
Looks good!
Thanks Nick!
We use fans in South Georgia also
Felicidades amigo te quedo excelente tu motocicleta. Saludos.
Obrigado irmão!
The old iron looking good with that oil tank
Wasps own my trailer. This time of year the stinkbugs that hibernate alongside the wasps start crawling out. That gets the wasps crazy pizzed.
Nice job
Thanks!

i don't own an ironhead so idk , but the clearance between the tank and the motor looks like the motor may vibrate and hit the tank. idk , i hope not . i have seen some motors vibrate/shake a lot so thats why i mention it. good vid

Yes. I have an oil cooler that I plan to use. A future video that I don't known when will drop.
I'm running one on my big twin for the last four years and thousands of miles in the desert heat. No problems yet. No cooler either.
Very nice job and nice Ironhead .
Those tanks don’t have any drain plug?or I may have missed it?
And as usually good video 👍🙏
You'd have to drain it from the supply line.
👍🏼🖖🏼✌️😊

I tried 3 different tanks until I finally decided to go this route. Thanks for watching, Sully.
Trying to find the link to the welders FB page to share the love but can’t seem to find it, bike comin long good 👍
It's in the description.
Looks good but how’s the fender paint? and does the tank not hit your leg?
Haven't messed with the paint yet, but the tank seems to be clear enough.
That’s good then. Will look awesome when painted.
Wow those rates are low!!
So I’m doing the same thing on my 74 Ironhead what’re you doing for a filter?
www.ebay.com/itm/OIL-FILTER-KIT-HARLEY-IRONHEAD-SPORTSTER-900-1000-XL-XLH-1957-THRU-1981/281412043769?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
Is that a stock gas tank? If not what tank are you using?
I think so. The paint isn't stock, I'm pretty sure though.
What are the threaded holes in the back
For the oil line fittings.
I've have a Harley 81 sporter it's completely stock. I'm thinking about making an old school bobber out if it. Some one help me with two ideas. One hard tail with wide wheel two just hard tail with normal size tire. Where can I buy materials with out having to find fabrication company and just do it myself
Check out tcbroschoppers.com
No screws. Use bolts
Just kidding with ya buddy !!!
Where does the battery goes then ?
Still working on that.
