Do you have to disconnect the read shocks to do this job? I saw another video of a guy - removed fender, chop frame and chop fender all without disconnecting the rear shocks.
Block i just wanna go ahead and say thanks man, I always wanted to get into ridin since I was a kid and get into fixin up old bikes and cars. I found your channel a while back and it inspired me enough to finally learn to ride. I took the safety course, mind you it was my first time throwing a leg over a bike and after that I was completely hooked. After passing and getting my endorsement I found an old Road star that's been poorly treated and decided to take it upon myself to fix her up and bring it back to what will hopefully be it's glory days. I just wanna say thanks cause of not for stuff like your beginner riding vids and these videos of wrench in on your bikes, I wouldn't have taken the first step into bikes for awhile.
Hey block, do yourself a favor and pick up some abrasive pads for your grinder. Itll save you time and headaches over doing the bigger jobs with your dremel. Like $5 at harbor freight.👍
Love the short rear fender blockhead. Watched this to help decide whether or not to do it to my 2018 forty eight I bought new but not sure I would have the heart to do it to a new bike seems sacrilegious. 😦
Hey man, just want to drop a little comment in i love your videos and you (and maybe my step-dad) made me make the decision to get on a Harley Iron 1200 (probably not the best bike to start on though). But anyways keep up the hard work brother.
Looking good! Going to be a sweet ass bike when u are done!! But these 3am uploads man... Good thing I'm on night shift this month. Currenting in your home town. Making that money.
are you wearing safety glasses? lol. can't wait to see finished product. I'm also very curious what your plans are w the old iron. good to see the OH sportster back in your possession

Use duct tape like a "dog hair remover" and tap your arms with the tape to try to remove the metal fibers.
The American Flag in the background while you were grinding of the strut supports looked cool
🇺🇸🦅🤘🏼😁
Anybody else bugged by him using Milwaukee drill bits with a dewalt drill? Haha great video, keep it up!
Me, lol
Gratuitous hipster angle grinder shots! That’s a like from me, don’t be afraid to mess stuff up get in there and customize your motos
Imo, if you rounded the end of the frame to match the holes for the bolts may look cleaner. Builds lookin good.
Next episode! 👍🏼
That classic music while cutting with the grinder thought.....

Always cool to hear how the videos have helped out, I’m happy to hear it. Thanks for the kind words and support Blake! RSSV 🤘🏼
Heavenly music played at those “points of no return” ..........epic BlockHead
Spotted the Holosun optics sticker on the box 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
🤘🏼 PPL!
I would round off those struts,so they look like the original ones,plus its one less thing you can cut yourself on
Well I for one chuckled at the pun at the end 😂
I notice you just have the ECM hooked up to the stock wiring harness. Are you running a Power Commander or any type of fuel/ air management?
Question , i got 2008 nightster & ecu is underneath the seat , where best place to put them if i chop my fender ? 🤔 Thanks

Good tip! On the list to buy 🤘🏼
Thank you as always for sharing! Love the videos, and hope all is well with you. Glad you're feeling better too.
Thanks Toast!
Really hope the new bike build will be a Dyna, that way we could see what you had in mind for the Low rider S 😎 as always nice episode!!
That’s why you wear ppe
I cannot wait to see it when it's done! Just found your channel about a week ago and have binge watchin everything I can and its great!
Nice one man, keen to see more. Can't wait to get my own ride that I can enjoy and play with....

At first, with the puns, I was like "File It"(lol), but now that you have them "Ironed" out, they are pretty solid :P
Connor Hicks get out. XD
Terrible and I love it 😁
Hey Blockhead, big fan of your channel keep up the good work. I like your ppe lol.. just be careful with the power tools bro
Lol, yeah slacking on PPE, already bought some stuff after this vid 😁
What a hack job, Grinch! Just kidding. Can't wait to see the finished bike.

Hey BLOCKHEAD do you know if the 883 iron rear fender will fit a super low
are you wearing safety glasses? lol. can't wait to see finished product. I'm also very curious what your plans are w the old iron. good to see the OH sportster back in your possession
Yup, I had eye protection! 👍🏼
Well I’m seriously a car guy but after watching your videos all week I decided to get into motorcycles 🤷🏽♂️
Awesome to hear it man!
BLOCKHEAD naw I appreciate it bro.haha you have really good content that drew me in. I literally Netflix binged most of your videos!
The sparks were gonna catch the flag on fire! BLOCKHEAD: Chop Shop Services.
Yo man u should get an air die grinder instead of using the dremel
Buying iron 883 this summer -greetings from London
Nice!
I'm not typically a Harley fan, but this thing is looking pretty awesome. I decided to pledge a couple bucks in hopes to win that.
@@justinhighdesertkeeper9251 I was complimenting his bike build. Don't get butthurt because of that.
I liked the little "oh shit" moment when the grinder slipped on the fender 😂
Was more like a “godammit” moment lol

One short question if you don't mind what kind of Speedo and what kind of Mount is that I'm thinking very seriously about relocating my speedometer to the tank mount
Thanks man! Speedo is from H-D, mount is off Amazon 👍🏼
Next time you cut wear long sleeves also put a Magnet in the washer. It will even pull out the grease.
Never heard of magnet in the washer, good one!
I have a question. Not a lot of people ride where I live. How can I find a bike meet or make one myself?
Checkout my video titled ‘7 ways to meet motorcycle friends.’
Love your channel and content. But I was wondering if you wear your helmet while driving your truck to get that footage.
Thanks! No helmet, holding the GoPro in my hand, lol
I’m trying to make up my mind! I really like the chopped fender look. But that means never taking my wife on a ride.
Keep making great content Blockhead!
Thanks! 🤘🏼
Dude, that slow-mo clip with the grinder... i seriously thought you were going to skip and cut yourself... real nail biter.
😅
OMG 😂"garage bandaid"
This sounds weird, but where do you buy your flannels at?
They’re Dixxon flannel 👍🏼
Respect from sweden🤙🏼
👊🏼
Can't remember if you already have the new seat
Yup!
Use the air compressor to blow the specs off
Nice!!

I have been looking for Patriot Defender 2-1 (M141510S) HELP!
Google? 🤷🏻♂️
Block, do your Canadian fans get a chance to win this black beauty? I would totally meet you at the border!
Contiguous 48 US only for the bike, transferring to a different country becomes much more of a difficult process unfortunately.
@@BlockheadMoto I understand but also; have a major sad.... :'(
I hope I win this bike
I see you’ve been hitting lovebugs in the Tacoma. They’re the worst.
So ready for love bug season to be gone! lol

Yup! If you’re selected, you can opt to pass and we’ll select a new person 👍🏼 Much appreciated man!
BLOCKHEAD Excellent!

I just wanna donate $500 how many entries could that get me?
