Yes poor is a good description. Built on a budget. Would like to see your builds ?

@@davidsmith5263 give me your email and I send pictures of mine

Built on a budget Have you tried getting a pan motor?

@@davemanone3661 ?

@davidsmith5263 A lot of the iron heads I have seen are notched out on the face of the valve heads. Just wondering what the difference is, yours looks like a regular shovelhead. ✌️

@llewvirtue861 well if u enjoy a good kick back on advance then off you go 😉

Thank u mate yes we built it for a customer on a budget. And he rides it every day .good brakes . And enough rake to look great and be practical to tide well he has changed the risers since with the original dog bones wich makes it look more like the original. Appreciate your comments 🙏

Built by "Uncle" Ben Hardy Los Angles Cal. Not Peter Fonda.

@@JamesMiller-q9w Thanks, I was show casing the design. I should have highlighted the Builder. I said "designed by Peter Fonda and built for the Movie" Fonda also designed the "Billy Bike" and was built for the Movie. Both Bikes were built by Ben Hardy.

I usually don't reply to idiots but really....I'd like to see your attempt of any sort of build ....this bike was built on a budget for a customer. And he actually wanted to ride it as a daily ride which means it also had to be road legal ...which brings a whole lot of other factors into the build.......try asking questions next time instead of having a brain fart

@@davidsmith5263 Wow so much Hate!!!! I’m forwarding your nastiness to KZbin!!!! I’m sure they will take a keen interest in your reply……I’m allowed to have an opinion…..I didn’t single out anyone by name calling which you seem ready and willing and so able to do!!!!! I don’t have to understand the budget or what went into the construction or what said person or persons were going to do with the motorcycle…..my thing I didn’t like the bike, that’s as simple and concise as I can put it.

@easyrider484483 if your going to comment expect a little backlash

Hi mate . They were the actual original tyres which I scrubbed with soapy water then used tyre shine after and painted tyre white on letters . Depending on how bad your tyres are ? These tyres are hard to get Depending what country your in

Built for a customer on a budget wanted something close ....

We built this for a customer.......he supplied the doner bike with parts and chroming I would say around the 15k AU there was alot of fabrication of bits to the frame and parts not able to buy off the shelf Chroming is expensive Also seat made from scratch blew the budget best to start with a bike already road registered to save the hassle of a road worthy inspection if they do that where your from

They are lucas type ones from old brittish bikes available online ebay .cheers

Got it off ebay Cafe racer seat

I'm not sure what you mean 🤔

@@davidsmith5263 The original bike is worthy of taking the time and effort to scrounge up every single correct part, like dog bones and not risers, and getting the paint right, the stars on the original tank were not symmetrical, when the stars are all aligned as so many guys have done, it just looks wrong, you've deviated to such an extent that the bike would be more respectable as a good looking chopper if it had a gloss black blue flame paintjob instead of a captain america replica. some guy in Japan built the best example of the bike I've ever seen. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHLSioScnq-Wrpo

@sam iam send me some pics and videos off your projects I'm sure there and precis as we all have a bottomless pit of money 💰

@@davidsmith5263 No need getting your panties in a bind but the rake and extension are off by miles, maybe you should call it the easy way out.

Hi mate don't bother with the street 500 motor. Was way too hard getting around the harley stupid security on everything. Nightmare

@@davidsmith5263 Thanks David, My Bro said the same as you but I do like to tinker. Maybe I'll go down the same road as to what Johnny Pagg does in the States, look around for an old 80's Jap bike engine 650cc, something like that, he doesn't seem to have many problems dropping those types of motors into the Spyder frames, looks pretty straight forward and he sells a fair few of them from what I've heard.

Has them now fitted about 2 months ago custom made ones like the original

Hi mate ...depending on where u are in the world ....with regards to a shop building one for u . It's always best to start with something already road worthy and registered. Then turn it into your dream bike . Less hassle with government road laws that way

Honestly. Grow up ....built on a budget.... if you bothered to watch and read the whole video.... really

@@davidsmith5263 I don't give a fat rats behind about your budget. Capt America bike and Billy bike were panheads. I'm done with you.

? What's your point

Hi mate great to here your story, sadly I sold it not long after I restored it . Went to a collector. They do pop up on Facebook market place sometimes also on ebay . Hope you find one for your grandchildren

Your dream'n, I got a brand new Deltek Rockhopper for Christmas 1973, when I was 10 years old! By 1986 I was on my 3rd brand new 1100 Suzuki!
