Can We Build a Chopper in a Day? PART 1

  • We recently decided to build a chopper from parts we had laying around the shop. To make things more interesting, we wanted to challenge ourselves to see if we could build it in one single day. We did do a little prep by making lists of everything we would need ahead of time and we mounted tires to the wheels beforehand. But, other than that, no work was done ahead of time.
    We started the day with a straight leg panhead frame and a goal to end the day with a running/riding motorcycle.
    Can we build a chopper in a day? Watch now to find out.

    You find me a vintage Harley that just goes together I will call you a liar!! Nothing ever goes to plan ever! When I put my knuck together and the frame and engine fit together and didn't need to be shimmed I was convinced it was some sort of curse/black magic! great works guys.

    Really cool video! Ever heard of ASMR??
    Well I'm a gear head and the sound of bolts sliding into their hole and the sound of the transmission plate being mocked up are soo soothing to my ears.
    I ride an 01 Fatboy. My motor is completely torn apart on the work bench right now. Really love seeing how guys are still working on old iron.
    I'll build my chopper one day and join the chopper community when the stars align
    Keep wrenching!

    In the 70's we called a chopper a motorcycle with a long extended front end. I really don't know what this generation calls a chopper. What I see there is merely a cruiser.

    Anyone can assemble a motorcycle in a day. But truly building a chopper takes years. Real choppers are created by their owners/riders, and take their form and individual characteristics over time.

    My uncle used to paint old chopper for a lot of people we will just say...
    back in the 70s 80s 90s
    He would strip a whole bike down after work Friday prep and paint Saturday and reassemble Sunday morning and be down at the Bar in the afternoon showin' off the new paint

  • @JeffGillis-lv1rz
    @JeffGillis-lv1rz 3 місяці тому

    So you assemble a vintage bike. This is not a chopper build as you make no mods to frame rake @ trail, nor downtube extension. Wft?

  • @larrywilson7933
    @larrywilson7933 2 роки тому

    Looks like a bunch of amateurs that know very little about what they’re doing.
    Sissy bar is too straight up, it should match the seat post angle. However, that’s how you learn, by doing.
