_ About this channel_______________________
My name is flaui, I am from Germany and in my spare time I love to rebuild motorcycles like Honda VLX600, Kawasaki VN800 or Harley Davdsion Softail. Along the way I also film and edit to document my conversions for you.
On my channel you can see my conversions of the last years. I hope you like the content. If so, I would be very happy about a subscription, a thumb or even better a comment. Please write me in the comment field, which motorcycle I should rebuild next. I am always happy about feedback from you.
Ride safe and maybe we meet once for a beer at a motorcycle meeting.
_ The basis_________________________________
After many motorcycle modifications, I wanted to finally build a Frisco style chopper for myself, with which I can ride to rallys and which is reliable. Therefore, I chose a Harley Davidson Softail FLST with the Evolution engine, because they are very reliable and still have the Harley Davidson character. The Harley Davidson Softail 1998 with one of the last Evolution engines seemed to be the ideal base for my project. So I customized the bike from a tourer to a Frisco style chopper in about 4 months. I have to say I'm very happy with the result and I'm already looking forward to riding the bike at motorcycle rallys in the coming years.
_ Costs for the transformation______________
Harley Davidson FLSTC, 1998 (bought in 2020)

The build. The quality. The craftsmanship. The footage captured. The video editing. Wow. This is badass all around.
Danke Dir. War auch ein halbes Jahr Arbeit...😁🤘
Thank you. Was also half a year of work...😁🤘
@@bobberpsycho HOLY SHIT BRO...
@@bobberpsycho This is very impressive, I really admire your touch to the fine details. I have a custombuilt Harley myself, and to be honest, you gave me a lot of good ideas to things I want to change.
Is the narrow front fork a bobber thing? And why not fit better brakes? These original Harley brakes hardly works... 😬
😊😊
The craftsmanship is incredible. These are the type of people we should learn about in school.
Thank you my friend. You feedback makes me proud…🤘😌
German craftsmanship;-)
These were 23 minutes of pure joy of creation!
Most impressive build. That seat is probably the first chopper seat I've ever seen that actually looks comfortable for that type of riding position. Sehr gut gemacht!
Great build and video!! I wish more builders made timelapsed videos like this one. You had a direction you wanted to go with the bike, just nice to see you knock out the build without all the filler. Awesome job and awesome video!!
All I could say is genius. Incredible.
Thanks for this video, buddy. It was massive pleasure
Great video. Beautiful build and nicely shot too. nothing like having the right tools and knowing how to use them. way to go!
Now that’s art
das ist das Coolste, was ich je gesehen habe... ohne Mist - ein Schrauber, das einfach mal ALLES selber drauf hat.. viele können Elektrik, können Mechanik oder Blechbearbeitung..... aber ALLES ;-) vom Einspeichen ganz zu schweigen ! Ganz große Sache... einfach echt Klasse ! Danke, für die immense Mühe, & Arbeit, die das Video gemacht hat... ich habe selber kaum Schrauber gesehen, die soviel an Können drauf haben und so durchdacht customizen... Super, weiter so ! Bin total begeistert ;-) sehe es mir immer wieder an ;-) Grüße aus Sachsen !
Hey Marco, freut mich, dass dir das Video gefällt. Ich hoffe, ich kann bald mit einem neuen Projekt nachlegen…☝️😉
Beste Grüße und hoffentlich bis bald, flaui 🤘😎
I’m very impressed, and now I have learned about how to handle the electrical complexities of a harness. Thank you so much! Excellent video!!
Amazing! I was transfixed for the whole video. I love watching a real craftsman at work, particularly one that's multi-talented, and turns out such a beautiful bike! I look forward to the next one.
Man I absolutely loved your build! I feel you when you said the electrical was your biggest challenge. I am the same way I am a ace mechanic but I still struggle with electrical, it just doesn’t click. But great build! I also loved what you did with the aluminum on the trees as well as the lower forks.
Yes, the electrics almost drove my crazy….😁
Yes.... Bro... Like ..my ...project too.. built..up ... Mu Chopper bike...
Righteous build Right?
Love it
@@bobberpsycho 😍👍🤘🤝💣🔥
Perfect stance! Love it. I've been building customs for 15 years and a couple things I always notice that people screw up is first the rear fender radius to the tire...man it just looks so amateur when it's out of radius from the tire. Also when I noticed you weren't hardtailing it, I was thinking here we go again, another wonky build. I was wrong. You nailed it. Flawless lines my friend! Liked and subbed!
Love the finished product. Awesome bobber.
Insane build. The process and quality was top notch. 💯👌
Awesome attention to detail without going gaudy. Beautiful work.
Thank you very much!✌😎
Man that was awesome! Well done! Loved the build, the result and the scenery at the end too!
Fantastic job...full of style !!!
I’m a scrambler man, but I respect the work that goes into choppers 👍🏻👍🏻
Великолепная работа! Отличный результат! Я в восхищении!
С вашего позволентя, а всё-же было лучше, красивее...
Amazing build! Wow, really well done!
I watched the entire video. Absolutely great. You did a great job putting this video together. The bike is freaking awesome.
His skills are truly commendable. Artisans with his skills are dying out and taking their skills and knowlege with them. Sadly schools/institutions that teach those skills are also dying out. We need more trade schools to teach people to becone self sufficient.
This man did everything except the painting and Im sure if he applied himself, he could do that too. Mechanic, electrician, fabricator, welding, bending and even video editing. A skilled artisan of note. SALUTE!!!! RESPECT!!!! MHLR!!.
Thank you my friend for the positive feedback. Glad to hear, that you like the content... ✌✌
You pretty much built my dream bike. Excellent work!
Thank you for the positive feedback...✌😎
Great video showing the process. And the result is stunning. Love that bike!!
Thanks for the good feedback...✌😎
Excellent and a Awesome build!Love the Handlebars;Gas Tank;Pipes;and the Sissy Bar.
Great job! Loved watching your build. Blessings.
Absolutely stunning. Thanks for uploading.👍😃🏴
Thank you…😉
Way past cool , best no BS build iv watched in ages , you got quality spirit 👌🏻🇦🇺
Glad you enjoyed it...👌🏻
Mad respect for the craftsmanship! Great video!
WOW I never got tired of watching this vid....AMAZING!!!
Excellent video, absolutely loved the breakdown and build-up, you are a dam good mechanic. Merry Christmas
Great video man. I dig it. I teach metal work at high school in Australia. I will be showing this to my students. I love the way you can produce high quality components with simple workshop gear. This build was amazing. I love the bike.
Thank you my friend for you positive feedback. I lived in Melbourne for one year in 1999 and worked as a metal worker and repared the old horse potions in the city . Fantastic country and people my friend..👌☀️😎🍻
Say hello to your students, they are learning the best job they can do…
😎💪
Best greatings from south Germany…🤘
You just taught me something new, and amazing.. the way you push brake fluid up to the master cylinder is genius
Guy has the skills. One of my 1st tests in the cycle mechanics class was to lace and true a wheel. No surprise the fastest was a young lady. He's done it before for sure-Great video too.
Style of a proper chopper. Love the paintwork and your work method. Cool 😎👍
Thank you. Good to hear that you like it... 👍
Wow what an amazing build. Production was top notch with just enough detail to keep the viewers attention. You have an amazing skill set. Subscribed👍
Thank you very much! Good to hear, that you enjoy it...✌😎
uau... seu trabalho é insano!!! gostei muito, parabéns 👏🏻👏🏻
Brilliant Time lapsed video - thanks.
Wow! Absolutely sick build and really well produced video! Cheers!🤘🏽
@Bantham Nobilis That is self made.
I’m building a chopper. It’s about half done. What are the handlebar controls? Who makes them? I need them! Just the clutch and master cylinder.
@@scottcobbley1189 i'd say the are made by "Kustomtech"
@@ralfgehrke3500 thank you. I checked it out and you were absolutely right. Ordered a pair. Thanks so much.
Jaw dropping skills, jaw dropping build, jaw dropping video quality.
a true labor of love, the way choppers are meant to be.
great video!
Thank you…🤘😎
Simplesmente um estado da Arte ! Que lindo, man !
Muito obrigado 😁🤘
I'm in South Korea now. It's stimulating me a lot after watching the video. I really want to make a chopper like you
Amazing build!!!
I really, really enjoyed watching this whole clip. Very educational too. The end result is definitely better than the stock.
Glad you enjoyed it! ✌😎
Great build, so well filmed and edited too! Love your work mate 👍👍
Thank you. Good to hear, that you like it…🤘😎
Ficou simplesmente perfeito, abraço do 🇧🇷
Muito obrigado 😁🤘
Ich ziehe den Hut vor so viel technischem Verständnis und handwerklicher Kunst!! Mega geiler Umbau 👍🙌💯
Was von 'ne Hut???
Brilliant looking forward to seeing more
I'm in Brazil and here we don't have bikes like your country. Your motorcycle is very beautiful. Congratulations.
Time for you to make your own my brother
Awesome build! I love what you transformed that Road King into. My favorite was the trick way you started it. If you have time and you haven't already, please let us know what you used to do that, and thank you for sharing this!
Heritage softail
I’m in the middle of a 72 cb 750 k2 on a Amen Jammer. I’m still learning but there’s not a better feeling than having a chopper you did on your own!!
Dude this video is awesome.... seriously great work. Wish i had the skills to build my own like that.
Thank you. Just learn it by doing. I did the same!!! ☝️😉
Super metamorfoza oryginalność ❤ ma smykałkę na Kolo MEN 💪👍❤️
I really enjoyed how it was all remodeled and the end result was adorable
Impressive work Brother! Lacing the rims is an art lost by many now. Super nice build!
One of the cleanest, neat, into detail builds I've ever watched. Bobber Psycho's works is my vibe..
Thank you for the great Feedback 🤘😎
Saubere Arbeit! Super gelungenes Bike🤩! Respect 👍👍👍
Das löst in mir das Verlangen nach einem eigenen Projekt aus 😁🤘
Danke!!!
Musst du einfach nur anfangen…☝️😉
Outstanding 🙌🏻
Well done man!
Amazing work. I respect the minimalist approach. Only cut what needed to be cut. Love that you've showed the world what a "BOBBER" actually is, and that it does NOT have to be chopped out of a hardtail. badass bike.. #newsubscriber #fuegostillitz
Thank you for your words. But sometime I wish I had build a hardtail. But in Germany it is not allowed to build a hardtail in a frame. Just if you have a very old bike. But they are very expensive...
What specifically makes you wish you had built a hardtail? Are there any downsides/things you don’t like about keeping the rear suspension?
@@chrisausborn2306 I realy like the hardtail optik. This bikes are realy oldschool. A great HD 1954 hartail with a late shovel would be my dream. 👌
Olá ,primeira vez assistindo seu canal e gostei de cara pois você da todas informações passo a passo de como é seu processo,muito bacana. A motoca,simplesmente demais uma transformação sem dó nem piedade,rsrs. O estilo Fisco tradicional da Bay área dos anos 60 está na chopper bobber rule. Fantástico,nota 10 para sua construção. Quanto outra construção vamos de Kawasaki!? Kkkkk,aí é com você brow! Abraços e muito sucesso com o canal. Ganhou mais um inscrito.
Olá, estou contente por gostarem do canal e do vídeo. Obrigado também pelas amáveis palavras. É óptimo que siga agora o meu canal. Melhores cumprimentos da Alemanha, Flaui
This is an amazing build and also he has perfectly executed the way the video was made. A great builds and one of my favorites.
Thank you for you positive Feedback.
Good to hear, that you like it. Best regards from Germany…🤘😎
Impressive dedication to detail and workmanship.
Looks great, nice work, But these bike is far away to be a Chopper. In Sweden we call those Bobber.Choppers is another kind of bikes.Regards !
Kalla det vad du vill - mannen har gjort ett bra jobb med att anpassa sin åktur! 🤙🏼
Beautiful, just beautiful!
I love this man!
