Part two of the build: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZSkfqeLgJdshLM

[@AdvenJack]

Good introduction to your chopper plan.

[@OffandOn13]

Great stuff man. Good laidback rythm and a sporty-chop, I'm into it! Subbed👍

[@buttcrackcycles]

Thank you I really appreciate it!

[@taylorboerem2073]

my advice is to try and diy anything you can and outsource what you can't to local shops/fabricators. too many tc bros bikes rolling around looking the same lol. excited to see this series unfold 🍻

[@buttcrackcycles]

I should be able to handle all of this myself or at least I know enough people who can help with what I can't do. Thanks for the comment

[@guillotine1994]

I look forward to watching this series!

[@buttcrackcycles]

Thanks Ian, I'm really looking forward to building this bike! New video out soon

[@ethanclem3383]

That’s awesome! Also something funny: I’m currently working on a 1987 sportster that I inherited from my aunt also!

[@buttcrackcycles]

Cool stuff, hope you get it on the road soon

[@theobviouschicken]

Very amped for this. Looking at doing the same thing , though will keep the end result as a second bike. love all the mods you have shown so far . Subscribed.

[@buttcrackcycles]

Thanks so much

[@twinsmotogarage1866]

[@buttcrackcycles]

Thanks! Looking forward to it

I have been flipping bikes for 40 years. I would take a bike like that. Knock the stink off it. Fire it up and flip it. If you want to do it on a budget. Put the factory ignition switch back in it from eBay. They are cheap. I wouldn’t mess with the front end. Maybe satin black the little sporty tank and rear fender. Let the person who buys it paint their own colors on it. Best of luck! Smitty

[@SolekCheese]

Manifesting that this bike will be mine

[@buttcrackcycles]

That would be awesome

[@SaddleTrampTV]

The lines of the seat looks like it's meant for a hardtail application.

[@buttcrackcycles]

I'm kind of wondering that myself, see my part 2 video for it actually sitting on the bike. I bought it very cheaply so I could always sell it on, we'll see what happens! PS I like your channel a lot! Excited to see a comment from you on my little dinky channel. Thanks

[@SVSKIDBO2024]

Just traded my sporty budget build for a 1980 fxe mint condition

[@buttcrackcycles]

Sounds cool to me

[@atrain882]

That’s what happens when you try to make a sportster look like a big twin that’s what you end up with

[@buttcrackcycles]

I wouldn't like that tank or bars on a big twin either lol

[@atrain882]

@@buttcrackcycles I would not either you are right about that also but that’s what happens when people try to do that crazy nonsense I need any ideas let me know I’ll build Harleys myself

[@usabadone]

I know you said money was tight but do yourself a favor go to Harbor freight and buy one of those $600 tables your life will get 100% easier guaranteed

[@atrain882]

Super b wrong carburetor for that bike

[@buttcrackcycles]

Might put a CV on it, might see how this runs and leave that to the next owner

[@atrain882]

@@buttcrackcycles CV carb way better for that bike you are correct on that
