Man….how dare you take a motorcycle that you bought and paid for, and put your time, funds and energy into, and make it into the bike you wanted it to be?! The nerve!! 🤣😜 Keep on keeping on homie! Like the motto goes “not for everyone” 👊🏻👊🏻

[@shayker_og]

Because the exact same thing could have been accomplished by buying the few pieces he took from the donor in the marketplace instead of destroying a clean, only factory original once, vintage EVO. Wasn't necessary and definitely not cost effective. Not to mention those of us who appreciate original vintage would like to deter others from doing the same thing, especially when parts are so prevalent in the marketplace, whereas factory originals are not.

[@shayker_og]

The only caveat is if the donor was on a rebuilt title.

No way I could've looked at that Heritage and saw that chopper hiding in there. You've got a great eye for seeing what most of us can't. Oh man that build turned out just gorgeous.

[@LNSPLTBLVD]

Thank you, every bike has a chopper soul in them haha

[@fighter7029]

When you buy a frame and slap a motor in it not hard to see the chopper hiding in it lol

[@darknitethunder]

​@@LNSPLTBLVD Excellent built, Man. Just one suggestion you might consider adding a Front Fork Brace. The brace will help make sure the wheel runs true. I have one on my '89 Sportster that I built into a Street Tracker with no front fender. Looks Kool 👍

[@biker_dale]

Having the tools makes it easier, but having the ability to use those tools properly and have a vision of what your making makes a true artist. That was a fantastic transformation, you are a true artist when it comes to chops, great video.

[@LNSPLTBLVD]

Thank you brotha, just tryna add another bike to my portfolio

[@al_mazni]

Gonna show this bike to my dad! He’d love this thing! Crazy transformation!

[@LNSPLTBLVD]

Let me know what he thinks

[@davehowie03]

Simple and clean. Great build. One of ma favorites that you’ve done.

[@LNSPLTBLVD]

Thank you!

[@stopdacap2991]

Man, I wish I could afford to buy that bike. No doubt, I'd be one of the happiest men on Earth. Great job 👍🏽

[@FelixHorvath-b4t]

He sold it pretty cheap. 12,5k I believe

[@Comm0ut]

You could build one just like it and for less money with a little research. People don't realize how easy HDs are to work on. Since you won't need the stock cosmetic parts you can buy an ugly condition Evo Softail, hardtail the frame (or ride it for a while to be sure your spine can hang with a hardtail, Softail frames can make clean customs) and freshen it up with a rattlecan (X25 works well) paintjob then make it exactly how you want it over time. The custom parts market makes it very low effort so go for the bike of your dreams. If new to this do buy a complete running donor.. Any later model Evo Softail will do that has the Denso starter (which also means spline shaft gearbox). If it's to keep you can use a salvage title donor bike (many get insurance totaled for cosmetic damage and that's coming off anyway).

[@joeamartinez5842]

save your penny, brother! We all started off with a dream, if you really really want it, you will find a way! Think of it as a crack head, they dont wake up thinking that they are broke and cant afford a fix. So they find a way, follow your dreams, its never too late!

[@t77snapshot]

​@@FelixHorvath-b4t 12k is not cheap. I've seen pretty sweet looking choppers for 5k

[@danrulez1578]

I love the sound of it, turned out so good.

[@LNSPLTBLVD]

Thank you!

[@jisezer]

This is one of your best videos yet, very professionally shot! Beautiful work too!

[@LNSPLTBLVD]

Thank you! I appreciate it

[@jcrean3]

This is an absolutely clean build! Love it. Definitely going to take some notes for when I build up my next chopper

[@williamcomolli9470]

I absolutely love the exhaust. A very nice job with beautiful results.

[@DadBodBass]

Wow, I'm not sure why I'm here since I don't own or ride bikes, but I love your build. It feels so rudimentary and utilitarian yet full of character and beauty at the same time. It just doesn't pretend to be anything more than what it is.

[@lazyguy9486]

I'm such a dork...I kinda liked the heritage.

[@absinth9288]

there are all sorts of lovers and no one has to be the same, we all love them bikes and that's totally cool bro

[@Jordan-0692]

It would have been nice without all the tassles, and windshield haha but it looks good now too!

[@Comm0ut]

There are plenty of them but the short custom is a lot lighter. People sometimes forget why bikers took off the dresser parts in the first place which was for performance. You can split the difference for a very popular style of the 1970s HD copied with their Shovelhead and early Evo FXWG. The nice thing is you can change flavors on big twins if you get bored and not have to switch bikes.

[@sabastianduncan]

this is my ideal bike, absolutely righteous

[@BudzzableRides]

Nice! I have a 1986 wide glide with extended forks, 80 cu in Evo. Ride it every day still.

[@Mordorer]

What a true work of art man. Well done. 🤘🏾

[@djking44151]

Super clean bro. Looks like you're about to slide straight off that seat tho. I would have brought the sissy bar back for a driver backrest

[@shovelhead1705]

I would have hell cutting up that pretty old bike lol

[@terrycavender]

Beautiful! That’s the way we would have done it back in the day, the only difference would be lacquer instead of powder coat, and the engine. If I were building it the only difference in style would be to rake the sissy bar to match the angle of the handlebars, add a p-pad backrest, and pegs for a chick. But, everybody builds to taste, and you got perfect taste, Dave Mann would be proud. 👍

[@SKATETOSLAYER]

[@jg230993]

That is an absolutely beautiful bike at the end. By the way I have a question: what about mirrors, turn signals and other mandatory objects that should be in the bike? I know that choppers are minimalist but authorities doesn`t care about this mod ? Here in Brazil you might get in trouble for not having turn signals or mirrors installed. Thanks!
