CHOLO FLOORBOARDS FOR SOFTAIL +(inherent problem solved)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 гру 2020
- For those of us that want our softails to look as CHOLO as possible, these CYCLESMITHS floorboards will certainly compliment the look we're all trying to achieve. I also compare these floorboards to some good aftermarket boards, and the stock floorboards to get a sense of how much bigger and better these are.
All that size does come with a price though, you will need to "adjust" your kickstand so that it'll work properly. And towards the end of this film I will show you how I did it. - Авто та транспорт
I also have those exact same floorboards on my 05 Deluxe. As I was watching the video I was yelling at my phone (bro your not going to clear the kick stand!!! 🤬). I actually ended up going with option 1, and chopped of a small section off, just enough to clear. To those reading this (DO NOT CUT IT) CONS; 1. the tip will rust a bit, but you can clean it off so it’s not to bad and 2. You will need to reach over with your hands to deploy the kickstand every time.
PROS; 1. Every time you diploy your stand with your hands, you will take a second to admire your own bike and be like (yheaaaa. This is a bad BI$&H) and 2. This will give you the convincing amo needed, to convince the wife that part or all of the stimulus checks are going
Towards Air-ride suspensions with the air drop down kick stand. Assuming she cares for you, she will allow it because she doesn’t want your back to get any worst then it already is. 😂. Well, it worked for me anyways.......
Bro, some excellent advice. I was thinking it would probably rust if I cut it, so bending it was the first option. And to comment on the woman thing; do those women actually exist? And if so, where can I find one?
@@JETFILMCHANNEL the bend is a WHOLE LOT BETTER !!!!!!
Thanks to the working guy that keeps it real for the rest of us...great Vid as always.
Gorgeous build keep up the good work and content
Thanks Ryan, plenty more to come
Thank you sir it gives me a lot of Ideas for my heritage
You just keep doing what you like because we like it too. Awesome install.
Keep up the Goode work, I like both the in depth videos and the simple ones. They relate to the everyday working man who wrenches on their own stuff and rides on the weekends
Thanks for the input. I'll keep that in mind
You're doing it bro Im in my 40s,bought my first Harley Fatboy and thought it looked great until ha! I appreciate what you're doing I've got direction and working on setting my bike apart from the rest thank bro for real.
I really dig all these videos, the productions are getting better and better, and I can't wait for the continuations of the cholo Road King. I recently got a 94 RK and I am using all the inspiration from these videos to get to the desired look. keep 'em coming!
Bro, your bike looks awesome, Keep up the good work. Look forward to watching more of your videos.
Hey You are killing it with the videos!!! Your Bike is taking on Awesome Coolness!! I like how you don't give up until you achieve what you want... Ready to see what's next... Stay Cool and have a Happy New YEAR!!!
Loved it, looks amazing
Thanks Ray, I can always count on you watching the new films
Thank you for your content...always, high quality production. Keep 'em coming!! Your Cholo is schweeeet...I need to get me one or convert my Dyna into one!!! Happy Holidays/Happy New Year!!
Man I love the looks of those! Gotta check em out
Excellent video, thank you.
Bro I'm loving the videos. I'm not that in to bikes but its still interesting. Great production value. Keep it up.
Choice music and production 👌
Wow! That's a great video. The floorboard you showed me is so luxurious and goes well with the bike. I'm glad to be a friend of your great channel. Have a happy end of the year with your family.
👍🤝🤝🤝🤙👌
Thank you, and happy new year
I just found your channel, no idea how the hell you only have 11k subs but if you stay with it you’ll blow up man!! Love the bikes, love the content!!
Thanks man, welcome to the channel.
Sup bro ! I like the bigger longer videos but also wish for more videos more often. Honestly man I love the production part of it as well too, I pay attention to shit like that! Makes me wish I went to film school or learn to make vids or even come up with movie or show ideas , but I appreciate the work you put into them I’m sure it takes a lot of work.
Nice sled man, always great content and I've been following along with your build. Some great tips you got here, keep them coming man. I look for the alerts that you have a new video out!
I got some samsons coming in January hopefully (no shipping info yet) and also adding saddlebags to my cholo so a bit different. Good stuff man, looking forward to the next one.
Thanks man, good luck with the install. If they are the true duals then pay particular attention to the crossover pipe connections for exhaust leaks.
More to come
I have to go rewatch the headlight video. Those look sick
I definitely enjoy the production. some videos definitely (like the handle bars) could have used more detail of the process. I always look forward to the next video. thank you
Bro! I'm fully subscribed. I have to link with you when I'm up in NY
.
I have a clubstyle and really liking the Vicla Harley's.
What's up brother,
Those floorboards are some of the nicest on the market. I'm thinking on a set for my tour glide .
great video bro bike is looking damn fine
Thank you
Great video bro. Quality of your content is great. Quality over quantity in my opinion.
Thanks Mike, sound advice.
More content my bro we look forward to your videos
So what I did with that kick stand - I wasn’t sure about attacking with a lump of would, 😂 - , after removing it from the bike I drilled a 3/4” hole in a slab of wood, heated the part that needs to bend using my blow torch then used the kickstand to lever the part after putting it into that hole in the wood - worked a treat -cleaned up the metal after and looks like new and it works....cheers👍🏻
Very intuitive idea. Thanks for sharing
That is an amazing bike. You do good work. I appreciate the quality entertainment. Depending on what your state law says, your cholo/vicla would look awesome with a get back whip on those bars too.
Thank you, never been into that look. No hammers, bats, whips etc. Just classic looks
What's up brother, I like the short videos too. Just to keep up to date with all the mods and how you made them work.
Thanks, the filming for the next one starts today. It'll cover the brass/trim upgrades, been getting a lot of questions on those pieces.
I too choose Cyclesmiths products last year. Great quality and they even custom matched my waffle passenger floorbds to match the chrome with black trim whereas that was not offered at the time I ordered them. I installed them on my 2015 RoadKing using 1" chrome spacers and longer bolts on both sides. Tremendous feel and NO clearance issues with the Kickstand, Brake or Header Pipe. Outstanding on long highway runs, allow repositioning for comfort and Mid pressure when needed. Question: with a lowered ride you might try a (-1") Kickstand to clear board and set better?
Cholo bike in my opinion should also have the old school look, and the OEM floorboard have the old school look to match it. Some decided to keep it stock not because the individual ran out of money or have bad taste.
Bro you definitely need to stretch those fenders to make this Bad Ass Deluxe an official Cholo Style ride. Could you a rounded more classics looking crash bar. Those floor boards you installed make the bike even more Cholo Style. That Vicla is definitely looking good.
Thanks man, yeah the fenders are happening shortly after the holidays. I've got a paint scheme in mind, and its definitely going to happen.
Make videos more often 🤙🏻
the floor boards are way way Cooler!! good choice!!
Great video, those floorboards really do make big difference with look. How do they feel? Also, about your question at the end of the video, I say whatever it takes to put out more content I’m all for it. Don’t get me wrong your big production video’s are sick but having more video’s more often gets my vote.
Thanks for the input Brandon, I'll keep that in mind. I recently switched editing software, hoping it'll speed up turnaround times.
well, only thing I want to see now is the chrome swingarm
What brand were those floorboards you took off before your banana floorboards?
John you have a choice bang out more videos but risk quality or stick with....
Its all about growing your channel, if you can manage a bit of an increase then go for it. Bikes looking good with them boards, still waiting to see if you change the rear fender as you hinted at it before.... 👍
Thanks for the input. I might just stick with my regular formula. After all, I love filming and striving for better quality every time I shoot.
I'm still doing the fender, just trying to line up a painter for all the tins which is harder than it sounds. Apparently nobody does custom paint anymore
Just a thought but you mentioned the brackets were adjustable. Might this have taken care of the KS clash had you moved them in or out a bit? Cool vids btw,-thanks.
Just subscribed. Great job on the bike. I have a 2013 Deluxe and I can't wait to make it into my vision. I'm looking forward to your future videos.
One question, what editing program do you use to make your content?
Thanks, I've been using Filmora for the final product, and a lot of the sound goes through Audacity, FL studio and Emastered
Hey man. I have a bike done up very similar to yours. Question. W the Samson exhaust, what passenger peg mounting kit did you use - Can u link me? I’m having issues w clearance. Also great videos, keep the content coming!
This is what I'm using. It says it won't work, but it works perfectly. www.ebay.com/itm/Black-2-25-Passenger-Foot-Peg-Support-Mount-Clevis-For-Harley-Softail-2000-2006-/283740093111?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292
I’ve never been this early
Do you find with a lowered bike you get alot of scraps on those new floor boards?
Not really, the pipes usually scrape before the boards hit.
Nice upgrade with the floorboards- QQ where did you get your white grips?
Thanks, and those are biltwell grips. Cheap, like $20
boards look good by my question is why couldn't you just adjust the boards since they offer some adjustability or get some adapters to allowed them to extended out further?
Adjustability is only a centimeter at most, doesn't work to clear the kickstand. And you really don't want them too far out, it limits lean angles
👍🏼👍🏼
Where can I find the stock pair of floorboards you showed? I want them for my 04RK
I'm sure you can find them on Ebay. Not sure if they will fit your RK though
You sell any merch for the brand ?
I think a lot of us would love to support the channel..
can’t believe I’m actually wanting to buy merch from some UA-cam channel..
But damn bro.. I love these vids so much
Great replay value too.
*ever planning any trips to the Midwest ?
Would love to see the bike up close
Ride safe bro
Nah no merch yet, I'd really love to sell some hoodies though. I'll try and take the next step with that.
I was on track to go to Stugis this year but the preg wife is due dead smack in the middle of it, so no go.
@@JETFILMCHANNEL congratulations on the upcoming baby biker !!!
Sending some thoughts for a healthy little one.. even if he or she lands up wanting to ride a Honda.
Yea bro keep me posted on the hoodies
I’d rock one in a heartbeat.
You got a FB page? Saw u got a Moog 37 sitting in the studio in a couple vids.. I’m a huge synth nerd and biker as well .. not too too many ppl that do that same shit. I know a few fellow techno heads here that ride and DJ but don’t think any of them have any releases on any legit labels etc.
Anyway .. keep those vids bangin away !!!
Thanks man. Yeah it's a sub 37, been a musician since I was a kid, drums mostly. Got into electronic music and I used the moog for a few years. Sold it last year though to focus on filmmaking
@@JETFILMCHANNEL
I went the opposite route.
Starting playing drums when I was little.
Did the musician thing for a minute.
Landed up selling my drums since the band I was playing with broke up and I was enjoying DJing at raves more .. then stumbled upon producing and synths and drum machines then the hard stuff came along … Eurorack.
Producing industrial techno is my main thing I do now. Somewhat successful as far as big name DJs playing my tracks and shit. I’ve been in a bit of a motivational slump tho. I think it’s like once it warms up I wanna ride not sit in studio. This winter was working on the car a lot so didn’t release shit. I gotta get my ass in gear again.
Yea bro I watched the drum vid .. solid playing no doubt.
Anyone I know that is more serious about film making landed up with all their loot on cameras and camera accessories I tell you what.
I worked as a freelance camera operator for a minute. Worked on some commercial shoots as B camera. Was pretty decent. my editing skills were ok but I couldn’t put it all
Together to tell a story with pictures.. just was good at shooting .. decent framing etc
Anyway. Later homie.
Looking forward to the next installment of the cholos
Get some bars on that FLHR mang !
Should you consider a center stand , with the air ride??
Maybe eventually, but for now the 422's are doing the trick. Got some other plans coming first
very similar to whats on my 71 FLH ELECTRA GLIDE. Mine is SLAMMED as low as it can go. with a goosenecked frame 2 inch over stock forks from a 68 and original DRUM Brakes because that ol 74 inch shovel isnt fast. LOL. True dual fishtails on her as well. Low and slow . No hurries . Shovelhead mantra? RIDE WRENCH REPEAT.
Hell yeah Adam. You're definitely Old School
@@JETFILMCHANNEL I recently bought a 83 FLHT thats so complete and original that I just cant alter it. LOL. Im not a collector but dammit I just cant destroy its collector value. Matching numbers . Low miles. Original paint. For christs sake the cigerette lighter still works! I am thinking about factory true duals and gangster white walls though. And just keep the original pipes it came with. Factory true duals means mufflers nice and quiet. But this old girl isnt supposed to be loud . its a touring ride even has a tow hitch. Maybe I should get a trailer for it?
Nice bike brother! What seat you rocking…its Sik
Are you changing the grips?
Not anytime soon, I'm happy with these grips. Although I might change my throttle sleeve, developed play in it.
You need to finish that garage for that sweet wipe man
Truth!!!
@@JETFILMCHANNEL dude.., mine isn’t any better and I have a few choppers in it with a vette lol....
It's the way it goes, all the hard work goes into the machines. I was debating on sprucing the place up a bit because I film in there a lot. But on the other hand, it's a real working garage. Maybe people would prefer to see it for what it is.
@@JETFILMCHANNEL to be honest nice garages are always great to look at, however that said it is a bit more personal and relatable to see that your garage looks just like ours haha.
Where did you get the tombstone taillight bro. Nice bike
Thats a stock taillight. Deluxe is the only model to get it from the factory. But you can find them easily online
Red Indian Bikes are special
More content
Short vids between the major pieces I’d allll good
Get a kickstand extension.
More Road King!
More to come soon. Waiting on parts
Installed a set of these and the brads on top started rusting very soon
Oh man, that's a bummer. Any advice to prevent that from happening? Was the bike stored in a moist environment for a while?
@@JETFILMCHANNEL It was kept outside under a carport in east tx. It took about 6 months to rust.
Why do you still have the rear pegs on. Looks like street glide stock
Sometimes my wife rides on the back
Nice floor boards, but they should be heavy cause you usually end up getting scraped.
Agreed, although I scrape pipes well before my boards scrape
Do you sale any of the parts you swap out?
Yeah, some parts. What are you looking for?
what seat is that?
That's a LePera bares bones diamond stitch
Videos are great. Your ideas and feedback and suggestions are awesome. Would like to see the new wheels you said you were waiting on and also the rear fender you had mentioned. I’m working on a cholo now , 96 Softail nostalgia
Thanks, the new wheels have been on since sept and I did a video devoted to the new 18/21 setup vs the 16/21. Rear fender literally arrived 2 hours ago, so excited because it looks awesome. New video tomorrow on how to tighten up a cholo look with uniforming themes.
more videoes
So, I see these on Amazon for little over $300.
Hi John , I'm in two minds , 21" or 19" , going on a Fatboy 2001
The 21 always looks great, but the 19 will ride a little smoother. Depends what look you're after with the bike
Another quick question, I've got standard boards on at moment but always dragging on the road , will the 19" sit a little higher?
I feel that way about rotors. custom bike with stock rotors. awful.
Why don't you contact the manufacturer of the floor boards and tell them the problem you're having with the kickstand and see what they say.
I should, and I will. Good suggestion
Just sell me that bike already!!!
Might be taking her to the grave haha
This was posted 4 months ago and you paid under 400 yet the website shows near 500
I just googled my floorboards, took all of 5 seconds, found them for less than 400

Didn't like them on my bike at all.
Strange that a BRO is calling his bike a Cholo bike.
