this looks extremely impractical ngl

[@ramenrider.mp4]

Hahaha it absolutely it but it’s “cool”

Very cool.
Very impractical at high speeds on twisties, but open roads, very cool.

[@andrewflores9239]

That seat is so fucking clean
Def would look cool on the sporty too bro

[@jamesshepard4743]

As a goofy footer, skating the bike off your right foot , could help improve pushing Mongo 😂
Great video 👏

[@ramenrider.mp4]

haha definitely!!

[@user-bumblinman]

What about adding a recluse clutch to the jockey foot clutch and not stall

[@Dinomandayo]

What a cool bike with Japan vibes 侍⚔️

I really want to do this on a xs650 I’m building. While riding my other cruiser, I’m trying to break the habit of coming up to a stop sign and not take my left foot off the running board, as if I still have the clutch in. That and turning my bars so the bike leans to the right. Slow turns to the left in parking lots are just going to have to be done a different way or just have enough speed. I still want to do it just to learn, once I get use to it it’ll just be another feature of the bike that I’ll love. This is also why I’m adding a front 21” wheel with a small drum brake, just for them hills it’ll be easier to hold the bike still. Imagine not using your front brake and let me know how it goes because many old choppers are like that. Sorry for mentioning these things before the video was finished because you hit on all of this, but it’s good for people to realize these things. Can’t wait to try it out.

[@ramenrider.mp4]

Hell yeah dude!! It’s hella worth it I’m jealous u got an xs650 I want one, one day

[@Trikekid84]

@@ramenrider.mp4 it’s all stock but someone did a very slight rake on it, I found a AEE springer for it and it’s about 7” over stock, ditching the mags with disk brakes for drums and spokes.

[@ramenrider.mp4]

Hardtail it!!

[@Trikekid84]

@@ramenrider.mp4 I want to make the frame dip down and keep the shocks for a different look, but a hardtail would really help make it lighter. Sometimes they make the bike look small vs a Harley but my long front end will help with that. Later on down the road I might go for it.

Indian was 1901 harley was 1903

[@shogrran]

I want to install one on a dirt bike hahaha

[@ramenrider.mp4]

That would be sick!

[@ayehart6304]

I'm wanting to do this with my VTX

[@kennethlooper9268]

If you are one with more torque, it will run away with you instead of dying

[@acadianwanderer7352]

Nope, a stall is a stall, just a myth from know nothing people, just try it…😎

[@DarksideSleemo]

​@@acadianwanderer7352 Exactly right. If you actually dump the clutch, there's no bike I know of that won't stall.

[@theexorcist2605]

Looks safe to me

[@eMroFgnikooLpotS]

So... whats the slide on your helmet called?

[@ramenrider.mp4]

Slide on my helmet?

[@eMroFgnikooLpotS]

@@ramenrider.mp4 I found it, I was talking about the flip up Adapter. 🤣

[@Rif_Leman]

You are concerned about being heard over the exhaust while playing that horrid background music?

[@crysisbai]

sickkk good to see another norcal bro. I’ve been driving rhd manual for 3 years now and was recently looking to get a honda shadow and install a jockey shifter on it

[@ramenrider.mp4]

Do it!! It’s so much fun

[@pedroandbettysbigrevival2766]

Well done! 👊🏻👊🏻

[@ramenrider.mp4]

Thanks guys!!!

[@bennygregory2629]

U use the front or back brake more

[@ramenrider.mp4]

Definitely the front

[@tractorman1990]

I want to do this on my next bobber project. It seems like it would be fun for something different!

[@ramenrider.mp4]

It totally is!!

[@damonseals7643]

Very good lesson but Harley Davidson started in 1903 not 1901 .just to let you know.

[@ramenrider.mp4]

Yeah ur right it was founded in 1903 William Harley designed the displacement engine in 1901

[@acadianwanderer7352]

The ‘actual’ Harley Davidson manufacturing started in 1903 but they built their first ‘hd’ bike a little while before…

[@YouTubeneedstostopcensoring]

Auicide shifter refers to bikes with foot clutch jockey shift and no front brakes.

[@YouTubeneedstostopcensoring]

Ok never mind you got to it. But yea they were wild.
