Building a Kawasaki VN800 in 15 Minutes!

[@johncolburn4353]

Bro, you are truly an artist and a master craftsmen. All the skills you possess and the guts to modify a frame, I can only imagine all the measuring you didn’t show in this. Im not really a guy who likes low slung bobbers like this but gotdamn if that isnt one sexy mother fucker. And watching all the fab work is inspiring and makes me want to get off my ass and finish up my project, an 86 rebel 450. Much respect, brother. Its nice to see the bay still has creative mechanics and fabricators. Between you and Fab28, the bay is making a comeback.

LldlahhhTBH

[@Hitling]

Nice build! How come you had to modify the frame for the springer? Could this have been avoided by increasing the fork angle? Thanks.

[@kikarias79]

I’ve said it once, gonna say it again: this is FOR SURE one of the most beautifull customs EVER. Perfect. Every little detail is just perfect. Just wow, wow, wow!

[@dimmasvaerd]

You've made me want to get my old vn800a running, again. The bike looks badass. Love that springer.

[@slvr1.618]

Rear wheel covers was icing on the cake, the factory rear isn't easy to look at and i think helped in making this chop come together, good job👊

[@andrearigoni848]

Dove si compra il copri ruota?

[@Sergio_Hattifnatt]

It was all easy from the start. Some new parts, slightly mods, new bars, e.t.c. And then happend "Had to modify the frame"... At this point i realise how miserable my mechanic skills are... Awesome job)).

[@DreamwalkerFilms]

Same here bro, that was the exact moment in the video where I surrendered haha

[@DreamwalkerFilms]

Drifter 800 rider here. This is total artistry. Of all my years looking at every custom variety of VN800, I have to say, this is probably (definitely) my favorite example. You have created one of the coolest Vulcans of all time. The front end, the middle, the back end - I can't pick my favorite part of it. But that rear wheel is the real glue on this one. Just needs a different tire! I am of the opinion that the vn800 engine is one of the best sounding motors with the right pipes... Would love to do a collab video someday if the interest arises - I've got metric frankenstein bikes for days. Absolutely love your channel.

[@LNSPLTBLVD]

I appreciate the kind words my friend!

[@tcondie36]

Love that you actually showed it on the road!

[@ccombs2200]

I put 10k in a $2,000 bike. It’s worth 3 now.

[@Ricksonsaito8]

Sounds like you described your wife 😅

[@jsaunders0468]

​@@Ricksonsaito8oooOOooOOO get em

[@granteaton88]

I've never identified more before than this comment 😂

[@nicholaszizzo3729]

REAL TRUTH RIGHT HURR

[@samaralhayidi4748]

If you're making a profit customizing motorcycles, then you're doing it wrong

[@exz0r.ex3]

This bike is sick and I really loved it when it was just black and chrome

[@nicholaszizzo3729]

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! TRUTH TALENT, SKILL, & PASSION!!

[@petertaylor250]

Being a Harley rider for the last 30 years, I gotta say that's sweet!

[@adamlittleboxes4849]

that's pretty good for 15 minutes. seriously, though, you do outstanding work.

[@mickdonald8447]

Love the channel my dude.. I jus bought a EN500 99.. $1000 n jus did oil n plugs.. Tha Vulcan looks amazing

[@divinggiants8760]

Thing just looks perfect

[@rene-yvescote3954]

Wow! Awesome video very inspiring. In 15 min you manage to capture the essence of this build. No need to talk and the background music was well chosen. I hate when they play hard rock I find it too distracting from the content. The camera angle and sound capture for ridding part was perfect . Great editing congrats. René from Québec Canada.

[@DemonMexica]

Hi, I'm from Mexico and I've been a fan of your channel for 2 years!My respects since you are authentic creators of works of art💯

[@warem2531]

very nice work, dude how much do you spended buying the extra parts.?

[@ctrip34]

That's real close to my dream bike. Frickin awesome

[@kenkirbyskipjack]

It was a beautiful build son! The colour palette was perfect.

[@davidsousa4469]

Incredible job, it’s like they say, when you run for pleasure you’ll never get tired

[@number1XR650Rfan]

This is awesome! I didn’t ever think I would own a bike like this but now that I’m probably ab to acquire one I’m definitely modifying it like this!

[@jmj6576]

Great built, an awesome bobber, greetings from Brunei 🇧🇳

[@michaelb.42112]

I LOVE the Vulcan and now you made it even more desirable. You have great taste, a great eye, and you're also a Datsun Z owner. My dad had one in the 70's, then my. rother had it all through college in the 90's, then I drove it before we sold it to a family friend. You're in the East Bay ? I'm in Sonoma Co. I love the nicknames of certain parts like "cocktail shakers" for the pipes. MY GAWD, this bike turned out PERFECT and it's a Kawasaki passing all the broke down Harleys.

[@paincakes4696]

There is just something about that low slung aesthetic that screams YES!

[@Recycledhooligan]

The modification you made on this bike is the same as the Vulcan bike correct?

[@SGTJDerek]

I'll take the old fenders off your hands. Want them on my '07 900. And where did you get the Springer?

[@pipersall6761]

Wow, a lot of work. Well done. I wish I had learned to weld. Its such a useful skill. The pipes sound great!

[@flightis3dollars]

What a beautiful bike. Superb result.

[@m-zurowski]

Oficially baddest Kawasaki on the planet \m/ ! Hats down my man, amazing job!

[@khaleidzabidinful]

Wits nicely done.. The best VN custom made so far.. Good job guys..

[@LinuxHurts]

Wow, that looks so badass...

[@jcmusco]

i own a 96 and it runs great with 62,750 miles on it. it is made by me to suit me. at 67 i donot want any motorcycle but the kaw 800b. nice build.

[@philliplabuschagne5508]

Like the springer front end and what you did with the seat. I had the fat wheel version vn800. Did the same with the seat makes the bike handle and feel so much better. They stole my bike😭 man that VN800 has so much heart for the engine.

[@maksimmilentijevic3427]

The end product was fantastic 👌

[@timellis9293]

I Converted My C50 into a hard tail bobber about 12 years ago. Loved it up until the day I hit a pothole on front beach road. Spent 6 month in therapy with 2 compressed disks and still have very little feeling in my left leg. Sold it about a year later. Really miss that bike, but i really miss those two discs in my back more. I am looking for a way to build another hard tail fake with airbags. old guy style. Great looking bike.

[@LionelBaronArtiste]

Superbe travail sur ce kawa ! Bravo pour le choix de l'enjoliveur arrière, les pots trompette .....et cette fourche !!! 👍super esprit japan !!! 😉👍👍👍👍

[@brizzle05]

Simply a work of art .

[@miguelmarimar1974]

I have a question about the cup air filter, it has a risk of long-term engine wear. Why don't you have a filter?

[@fabiofisherman3932]

Very nice,beutifull bike, I'm watching from Brazil. Congratularions Men.

[@trimaranchuck]

Sounds and looks very good. What more could you want?

[@agustinvenegas]

increible el estilo final de la moto, me interesa saber donde conseguiste la manijas de embrague y cilindro maestro

[@billruth3340]

Very nice,,,would it been possible to leave it a Softail I know not as cool but better for long distance and I am not as young as I once was

[@7slotgrille]

How did you attach the seat, Son? I'm building a Vulcan too but too sick to finish, wanted yours SO BAD. Beautiful bike! Would like to hear your thoughts on what is was like building a Vulcan instead of a Shadow and how you thought she rode.

[@2strokelover93]

Damn dude. Make it look like you've done this before😢❤ very nice work of art

[@NikBigs]

Can you please do a separate video on how to wire your electric start and up lifter switches for the lights?

[@Crimson_CaydO]

Awesome project bruh! You killed it!

[@LIVMOTORS]

Do you ever get coolant leaking anywhere without the thermostat in place ?

[@gregmousetis3455]

I have a 2009 Vulcan and was wondering what wiring harness that you used or how to delete the stock harness

[@frederickdominguez4829]

Good job. Where did you get the springer.

[@markshawreflections850]

i admire your confidence and skill sir .

[@bhower02]

It always amazed at the talent you and the other guys have. It inspires me. Thank you

[@lego9126]

How did you delete the thermostat? And wouldn’t that make it impossible to efficiently do your coolant?

[@vagrant318]

Dang that turned out sweet! Good choice with the springer front end too. The lines remind me of the zero customs if you're familiar with those. If I got another chop it'd go in that direction aesthetically👌

[@Silenttreatment1975]

WOW the shape of that Engine is sweet AF.

[@martinsandqvist1726]

Love your work , you are a super talented builder.

[@joemaxwell7443]

That bike is killer!! great job

[@leootero6101]

Amazing work man! I followed this bike from your start on it. What size jets and turns on air fuel did you use to get it that crisp??

[@JamesDavis-ie8yl]

Hey mate did you have to do anything with the jets to make the Velocity Stacks work properly?

[@christoph9159]

One of the Best VN800 👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@navinbabji]

Bro why did you change the handle bar, the first one was super awesome.

[@kevincrawford6864]

what did you end up doing with the 2 vacuum lines that go under the factory tank?

[@nahustacul]

Muy buen trabajo amigo, hermosa máquina , saludos desde Buenos Aires💪🇦🇷

[@Daugharty34]

Beautiful build. So entertaining to watch as well

[@ryankelly7562]

What jets did you use to get it to run right with the velocity stack and new pipes?

[@riccardoaddis8398]

Congratulations!! Very, very good!!! Bye from Italy!!!!!

[@funstuff192]

is there any practical benefit to the hardtail conversion? it already looks like a hardtail because the shock is hidden and it doesn't use an obvious looking swingarm, so whats the actual reason for doing the hardtail?

[@Mightypocketzz]

Very cool build, groovy choice of music as well 👌🏼

[@fatesteyneit2990]

what year of VN is this from?

[@mikef3300]

The finished product is very cool

[@MGsModShop]

lol i was skeptical all the way up until the exhaust. after you nailed that i knew it would be fire

[@marcp108]

What an amazing transformation. You show such skill and craftsmanship. My only personal criticism is I'm not keen on the colour or the tank and fenders and I think a smaller front wheel would have looked better. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

[@ctrip34]

Does it have decent power?.. I had a Suzuki c50 a few years back. It's like an 805cc. Eventually got rid of it one winter cuz I wanted to get something with more power. Haven't bought anything since. Now I'm wanting to do.somethin like this. To a 1200 or 1300 cruiser.

[@EvendimataE]

i dont remember seeing a yamaha vstar 650 in your group...is it not a good bike?

[@sushankarekar5973]

I have a question, the frame seems a bit low for speed bumps so does it have trouble getting over them??

[@nccl4250]

I am a Harley EVO guy but that bike is dope. Just wondering if you planned to sell a bike like that what would you ask for it ? I Always find the custom bike market interesting for pricing . Thanks and keep it up .

[@arch417powersports]

This is sick!

[@backyardr.c.channel4732]

Which handle bars are you using? Sick bike build man

[@joaobarulho9124]

Muito bom o seu projeto e foi rapidinho? Quantos dias?

[@miksedk]

How'd get that pulse from the engine? ignition kit?

[@Bedevere]

I am curious about the wiring harness. Did you guys make a new one or modify the old one? It looked like you trashed the original.

[@LNSPLTBLVD]

I modified the original one. I just cut off all the ones I no longer need

[@PierredeCur]

Man, withe these tractor tyres, handling must be tricky...

[@devinbrightmon1349]

Could you tell me how you rewired the lights fan and start button

[@Charles-ly5ds]

The lnsplt exhaust badge is so sick. Well done man.

[@edgarayala5630]

The exaust sound 🤩

[@subiemon]

what handlebars did you use on this build.

[@EdwinRosada]

What kind of exhaust you have like to know .

[@anthonyschwabe5036]

So sick! Does the thermostat delete make it air cooled then?

[@drifter19808]

I don't get it... Why a smaller tank and rear suspension delete is supposed as an upgrade? That can't be used for long routes or even a daily bike...

[@CharlyMartinez01]

Plus it takes longer to heat in a cold start and you have to operate the fan manually It has its downsides, but overall it’s a really cool bike

[@gloryordeath1165]

Another clean build brother, keep up the sick work

[@kerimax3494]

Super design, du genie les gars !!!

[@marlonruiz1179]

What size jets are you using?

[@GilbertoFilippi]

Amazing job!!

[@negativecreep9140]

Beautiful looking bike, excellent work 👌 and quite relaxing to watch the process too

[@tonysargent1699]

Most excellent! Thaankyou for sharing your passion and vision!

[@HenryKhiev]

So sick!

[@JoDdy420-]

Best check with your State's motorcycle regs about speedometer.

[@get_obliterat8642]

That brick look awesome

[@t-bone9403]

Whats the scoop on the front forks ?

[@didierlucas9653]

Very beautiful bike. Good work bro.👍👍👏👏

[@tankbxy7609]

can we get another kawasaki build??? a slimmer modern lnsplt style build.
