i dont know nothing about bikes like these people. but i have done this to my harley sportster. like the speedometer, and taillight tag relocation, there are kits for that. you will have to cut your own rear fender up, or buy one, you can keep the stock tank and buy a 2 inch lift kit, handle bars and controls are easy. but you have to make sure you get new throttle, break and clutch cables to fit the size of and new length of your handlebars. all it really is, is time. but you can do one thing at a time as you get the money. and before long bobber.
buy the bike and buy the manual. the Harley manuals tell you literally everythin you need to know in order to take a that specific bike apa rt, fix it and put it back together. theres also youtube and to be honest i find things come easy when i get over my fear of screwing something up and then just doing it.
It doesn't get any better that that. You used top notch quality material and fabricated very precises brackets and parts. Congrats. People of the internet should use your video as an how to properly built a Bobber. René from Québec Canada.
I been doing this 38+ yrs. It's epic to see a younger generation executing excellent build skills & welding to match. My utmost respect goes out to you sir.
Always a pleasure to watch someone with sound knowledge and understanding of the tools they are using and the creation they are building. Solid work brother
really nice one mate, good welding skills too! that bracing bracket for the battery even with the drilled holes can hold together the Forth Road Bridge! let alone two threaded rods and the the battery down \m/! It is 5:30 in the morning in Scoland, came home a coouple of hours ago, watced this video that pop up, finished my drink and going to bed. One of the best bedtime stories ever -was this vid. Great built! Cheers for that mate. Inspired me to go for a ride tommrow!
Even though we don't celebrate christmas here where I live, a big THANK YOU for pooping in my recommendations and giving such a beautiful christmans and new year gift!! Also, A very happy New Year to you!
@@Ed_the_Brit yeah, on the streets ;-) But first I have to finish it. Videos such as yours light up the fires, it sat for 4 or 5 years now, but I'm building again !
This vid made me regain so much confidence and trust in myself to finish my Night Rod Special build this winter/spring! Not anywhere near the levels of building and fabrication that you demonstrate in this video, but the bike is basically tore down to frame and motor right now. Waiting for parts to arrive before coating, paint and finally assembly! Love the content, subbed. Cheers mate!
Thanks dude I really appreciate the support. I'm glad it gave you motivation to get back on it and waiting for parts sucks! No matter how hard you try youre always missing something lol Keep at it and you'll be riding it this summer!
Sweet build man! Makes me miss my ol hardtail sporty I’d like to see a walk around of bar set up springer length and all the ins and outs it’s killer keep up the bad ass work
My friend, your work is amazing, please keep making sensational motorcycles, I am a big fan of bobbers, especially Harleys, and with the springer hub it is spectacular, please excuse me, I don't speak English and use Google Translator to write
Really nice build mate, just perfect. I’m curious if the hardtail conversion makes the bike bigger? I’d love to have a go at something like this but I’m nervous that, at 6’2” the sportster would still be too small. Did you find it adds much length?
Great video, i like the non talking content, easy to follow and see through to the end. What pipes are you running and also what forward controls are those?
Hahaha thanks man I appreciate it! And yes there will definitely be exhaust sounds. Come the summer, I will also do some ride videos with nothing but sound.
Hug from Brazil! My question I admired you a lot, you know how to do a lot of things on your own, what a talent. Did you really learn everything yourself? Did you build your garage in its entirety? I'm tinkering with my motor bike, you inspired me a lot!
Thanks dude! I've been in the garage with my dad since I was 3. I learned most him and I also did a 4 year apprenticeship when I was 15. The rest I learned on my own. I didn't build this workshop from the ground up but I did renovate it. The workshop I had in the UK I built from the ground up including foundation. I'm glad I inspired you with your bike! I want to build a community where we all help each other. What bike do you have?
@@Ed_the_Brit Cool! I don't know how to pronounce English correctly, so I use the translator. XD I currently have a Yamaha XV Virago 250 and a Honda XL 125 off road. I'm studying mechanics, so I'm starting on the XL. In the future I intend to start my projects in 250. But until then I intend to improve my welding skills and buy equipment. I always liked this lifestyle, gasoline, a dose of loneliness and rock music in my ears hahaha
Thank you! The hardtail is from TC Bros @tcbroschoppers here in the USA. I would imagine they do international shipping they are really hi quality so it would be worth looking into if your trying to find one.
Having ridden for 53 years, there is no way in hell I would eliminate rear suspension from a bike for looks. A hard tail is a kidney and back destroyer. Even my old 46 knuckle has suspension in the seat post. You went from a functional bike to one that can only be ridden for short trips. Those little springs on the seat aren’t even as good as 1946 technology. That’s why they make soft tails.
Great video, so good in fact that you single handedly inspired me to get an 883 and replicate your work here :) Waiting for the third installment, especially the part list walk through - you should definitely get a cut from future sales. Quick question: what is the cnc metal cutter used to fabricate sheet metal? Thanks
Wished I got the money, place, tools and most of all, the knowledge to build something like this.. Perfect video.
It’s all about time, man. We all can do this if we actually want to do so.
Thank you!

i give applause because you are solo player
Thanks I try to do everything myself!
Agreed 😮
My dude, watching you building these bikes is like watching Michelangelo painting. Respect! Keep 'em comin'!
Thanks man I appreciate that!
Love your description, could not agree more.

Thank you René! I appreciate the comment and support!!
Great build man! Excellent content and easy pace to watch. Sometimes background music takes away from the video. Great job!
Thank you! I appreciate the support
thanks for the no music. i love hearing the tools
Boooooooooooo
I been doing this 38+ yrs. It's epic to see a younger generation executing excellent build skills & welding to match. My utmost respect goes out to you sir.
Curious to see the next steps, nice vid man, high quality and no bullshit!
Thanks dude! Appreciate the support. Working on the next one now, shouldn't be too long.
this looks like you very well know what you're doing... 🙂 I really like this video, it's nice to watch a person who can do this.
Thank you I appreciate the compliment!
Always a pleasure to watch someone with sound knowledge and understanding of the tools they are using and the creation they are building. Solid work brother
I literally cried while watching it, it was a beautiful work, good work.

Nice work keep it up you have a great eye for things so much natural talent will definitely be watching more
Thanks Charlie I appreciate it man!! Now stop being a p***y and get your a** over here and we can go for a ride.
Looking at a few learner approved Bobbers, so keen to get out there and ride. Love these vids bro
Absolutely love the sportster platform.
I have fear of a painting job and u cut the frame as nothing, great craft, u are so talented. Greetings from Mexico
Çok çok çok güzel oldu! Gerçekten harika görünüyor! Bu işte çok iyisin. Bravo...

Thank you so much for your kind words I appreciate the support!
Great video man !! A lot of craftsmanship. I'm building board tracker from a 1987 sporty 883. Picked up some ideas. Can't wait to see the next vid !!
That's awesome!! I'm glad you picked up a few ideas, have fun with your project! Are you going to race it?
@@Ed_the_Brit yeah, on the streets ;-) But first I have to finish it. Videos such as yours light up the fires, it sat for 4 or 5 years now, but I'm building again !
@@tedschuurmans that is awesome! Good luck with the project and have fun with it. Hopefully you get it done in time for this summer!

When you convert a bike does it effect the MOT in anyway? Thanks for the video.

Great job, great result!👏👏👏🔝

Good skills bro but it brakes my heart seing a good bike like the Sportster going handicaped.
Thanks man I appreciate it! And don't worry it was not a good example, it is going to be way better when it's done.

Yeah, if you want comfort but keeping the looks; a soft tail frame is the one to go with.
What type of welder do you have and what wire do you use with it ? Awesome vid bud thx
That battery fit in there perfectly
Thanks man I do my best!

it's an arcdroid, got it:)
Way cool build , I like where you are going with the build . Gives me Ideas. What year sporster is it , I have a 97, 883 sporty
That looks so badass....
Thank you!
This is my dream build
You are an inspiration mate! Wishing you good the best!
Thank man I appreciate it!
