I love your passion and learning about the custom details on this beautiful bike - keep it up Doug!

I love the natural appeareance of metals and materials in general, so when i saw the tank of the nine t with the apparent welding and the aluminum tank i knew i had to have that bike someday. 8 years later i got the chance and now i am the proud owner of my dream bike. Thanks for sharing your video and keep up the good work you r a true inspiration. Greetings from Mexico!

[@DouglasSonders]

Gracias Alonso! Thank you for watching and sharing your story

Unlike the Cyber-Truck, it actually appears to work. I have a 2019 roadster, and like you, I swapped out the rear shock and Ti headers, rear-sets and the Kineo wheels are on order!

[@DouglasSonders]

lol. Darn right this does

[@B3TOBETANZO]

I saw that beauty last week on TWT at the pier, didn’t have the chance to meet you, but hopefully we can ride any time soon! Cheers mate!

[@DouglasSonders]

@@B3TOBETANZO I’ll be back tonight for twt!

[@sunuvafinch]

I’d love to swap out the wire wheels; hate tubes; only thing I hate on my 2016. Currently trying my hand at forming my own tail piece and a headlight cowl. Nice work, and thanks for the info on the progression!

[@DouglasSonders]

Thanks for watching! We will actually be offering the forged wheels on my bike here in the US very very soon. Stay tuned for an announcement.

[@Seniorsix]

You look just as cool as you did on the Harley bobber you reviewed early on!

[@DouglasSonders]

Thanks for watching Kevin!

[@juanfmarin]

Excelente custom job, could you share more info on the belly pan, thank you

[@DouglasSonders]

@@juanfmarin totally. We sell it on our site! www.blackbirdmoto.com/shop

[@JimmySnakes]

Yo Doug what pants are those in the intro? They look slick af

[@DouglasSonders]

Haha thx. They’re uglybros riding pants. Kevlar and such

[@kelvin_l]

Nice work with the R9T! Which Wilber rear shock did you replace the stock shock with? You replaced the internals in the front forks too? What did you replace it with?

[@DouglasSonders]

@@kelvin_l the read is a type 640 Road. Great upgrade. Front fork cartridges are the same. Just serviced and replaced the fork tubes.

[@johnlaw5762]

Love it. Great work. The speedo is a Motogadget Motoscope Pro for anyone interested. Think you accidentally said something else.

[@DouglasSonders]

@@johnlaw5762 thank you for calling that out. I think I have some weird dyslexia where I mix up names of the same first letter. lol

[@johnlaw5762]

@@DouglasSonders haha. I only know because I have the same on my 2015 amd just find it such a great upgrade from that crappy plastic guages. The 0-60 timer is fun 😜

[@johnlaw5762]

Btw, free little visual upgrade tip…you can turn those clamps with the mirror storks upside down so they point down making them less visible. A lot of us owners did that

[@DouglasSonders]

@@johnlaw5762 oh snap, ive never tried that! i gotta try it out this week and see how it does with the new parts

[@johnlaw5762]

@@DouglasSonders I’d be curious. My standard setup hits 60 in 3.77 secs 😜

[@aztecvspec002]

Rad bike! Now stay out of trouble

[@DouglasSonders]

haha thank you sir!

[@AJAsama22]

Did you make that tail end piece?

[@DouglasSonders]

@@AJAsama22 yup. It’s explained in the video

[@chrisjeyes07]

Want. And I don’t even ride.
