Can We Build a Chopper in a Day? PART 1

[@Rhysmoreton]

You find me a vintage Harley that just goes together I will call you a liar!! Nothing ever goes to plan ever! When I put my knuck together and the frame and engine fit together and didn't need to be shimmed I was convinced it was some sort of curse/black magic! great works guys.

[@tomsawyer8993]

Before the casting eaverything was pretty much configured 👍

[@ravi1544]

I'm 17 years old from the Philippines and I'm in vintage looking bikes and I'm planning to build one even I'm out of financial and materials I'm saving money to buy and build one someday seeing you guys build its so satisfying I want to get a chopper someday, Love your vids guys.

[@thegreatders344]

Good luck to you man! I hope you get that chopper some day soon!

[@mccayseetiong8403]

[@Cooolboy8817]

[@jonesy_grows]

Really cool video! Ever heard of ASMR?? Well I'm a gear head and the sound of bolts sliding into their hole and the sound of the transmission plate being mocked up are soo soothing to my ears. I ride an 01 Fatboy. My motor is completely torn apart on the work bench right now. Really love seeing how guys are still working on old iron. I'll build my chopper one day and join the chopper community when the stars align Keep wrenching!

[@WeirdBeard617]

It’s easy when you pull parts off a shelf

[@Anuskasv0]

[@BillTheHarleyGuy]

[@premiium]

hey, cool stuff

[@basedorthobrofren]

No bike build is complete without a hello from a scruffy puppy dog!

[@alexsmelly2263]

The ol' hold the work with your elbow while trying to drill a hole through it move. Lol

[@paulmooney1386]

Hey great vidio I'm curious on those bars. You know the make of them and the hight

[@tonupboi]

what are those chains in the front for/what are they called? Also have to say I put my first parts order in and got your safety glasses as well, and they are the best shades ever!! Highly recommend trying them, ordering more for my friends soon

[@biohazard_613]

Old fashioned fork limiters.

[@martinsinclair55]

If u buy a shovelhead and want to replace the wire front disk wheel with a wire drum brake wheel, where do you buy the already laced wheel?

[@jeanericlouis6295]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@MondoArtista.]

for sure! you just need the money and the time...

[@eastvantruckfarm]

What tank is that.?

[@BeardedNorthBiker]

Probly not the place to ask, but I'm looking to upgrade the fuel tank of my '97 Yamaha Virago XV535. I want a larger tank, with some sort of fuel guage. but I just started riding last year, And I don't even know how to start.

[@TheIrishAmish]

You’ve got a lathe but not a drill press?

[@tylerburgess7664]

Mitch sounds like Edward Norton

[@bfmchalfdead9804]

I want to work here ! Being a welder at a machine shop came be boring

[@kenster007]

22 minutes in and I like what I am seeing. the

[@unchained20000000]

In the 70's we called a chopper a motorcycle with a long extended front end. I really don't know what this generation calls a chopper. What I see there is merely a cruiser.

[@glennstatham960]

Not chopped at all!

[@kren1101]

I'd really consider it more of a bobber

[@mattl7886]

I wish the sissy bar was leaned back to match the rake of the bike.

[@damienrodriguez7881]

Dude sounds like Edward Norton

[@markfriedman4203]

Hi! Stumbled across your KZbin videos!! Cool! I am in central New Jersey, I have multiple sclerosis and my 1988 883 hugger >1200> hopefully "nor-cal/frisco" chopper project" has stalled due to health issues... Wanna make a great "help a brother out video series"??? Tons of parts... just my hands twitch too much... HELP ME!!! PLEASE!!!

[@joejohn5398]

What’s his name has no care at all, as he almost grabbed the bandsaw blade doing the fender then grabs the drill chuck while spinning after the brake pin 😂

[@kadekyuliawan9755]

sure, because you have everything you need in your garage😂

[@pb68slab18]

Anyone can assemble a motorcycle in a day. But truly building a chopper takes years. Real choppers are created by their owners/riders, and take their form and individual characteristics over time.

[@alexivanmilian367]

20:44 jijiji

[@javiersalido8073]

The Yamaha Vstar engine has more compression lol … Keep going 🦅

[@mourningsmile6882]

Mitch I want you to make me a pin!!! I love your pin who cares what any one says about 2hours 🤣 love the pin I want one!!

[@Pete-y1r]

do you ever make custom parts or do you just buy everything from suppliers and bolt them together ,??

[@steveemm9245]

Short sissy bars are the way to go, this isn’t 1965

[@gregb7652]

I can't do routine maintenance to my bike without changing or touching something 1,000 times.

[@013chopper]

I hope i put my wifes ironhead chopper together in a month…

[@hemidart7]

One guy should be able to put a bike together in 4 hours My uncle used to paint old chopper for a lot of people we will just say... back in the 70s 80s 90s He would strip a whole bike down after work Friday prep and paint Saturday and reassemble Sunday morning and be down at the Bar in the afternoon showin' off the new paint

[@glennstatham960]

haha! I call BS!

[@glennstatham960]

".we will just say.." as if he's some OG lol

[@glennstatham960]

He says Hipsters wear Vans..but he's wearing all name-brand stuff, with a chain on his wallet, some boat shoes, and his shirt tucked in!?!? HIPSTER ALERT!!!!

[@JeffGillis-lv1rz]

So you assemble a vintage bike. This is not a chopper build as you make no mods to frame rake @ trail, nor downtube extension. Wft?

[@mohawkdriver4155]

So this is how you build a rat bike...

[@nicholedidrickson520]

Part 2√✓?????

[@larrywilson7933]

Looks like a bunch of amateurs that know very little about what they’re doing. Sissy bar is too straight up, it should match the seat post angle. However, that’s how you learn, by doing.

[@StraightLineCycles]

Great episode, check out my Diecycle if you get a chance.
