[@joshpietro5790]

Is the rear swingarm a bolt on or was it fabricated? If it's a bolt on, where did you get it?

[@arizonarider6998]

That bike is definitely a product of the late 90s ! Crazy amount of chrome !

[@CHEESEYPLUMS]

That bike had chrome inserts hidden behind chrome inserts bwahahahaha

[@silversurfertim2123]

Very cool I’ll be watching this build for sure , I didn’t know you could powder coat over chrome. O ya again with the black socks lol 😂 👌🏻

[@bhower02]

I wasn't sure. I love the fatboy. But when you put the tank and seat you kinda won me over. Looking forward to the rest of the build.

[@MOTOPILOT6]

Hey Peeps. Hope you dig this new series. Come back in a week for Episode 2 where I start putting the machine together with some very cool parts. And don't forget to qualify to win some awesome Speed and Strength riding gear at patreon.com/motopilot. You might win one of 3 full sets we are giving away! And thanks for your support! MP

Very cool! That thing looked so much better with the test fitted parts -- can't wait to see this thing finished 👌🏼🐢☠️

[@saltyprocrastinator]

Thanks for doing this in one episode, instead of 5 and taking a month to do it like some other people

[@BabyRandyRydeZ]

dang!!!! Video is straight up PROOOOOOO!! Can't wait to see the rest of these man seriously....this is HARDCORE!

[@keithmccoy2935]

Great video! Can't wait to see the end result!

[@Ninja-es3fi]

THANK YOU ALL THE CHROME AND FLAMES WERE BLINDING THE SHIT OUT OF ME!

[@itssanktime82]

This is going to be awesome! Can't wait to see the rest!

[@scottww6057]

Looks as though you've had that bike apart many times before. You were just cooking along, you almost seem as though you could do it blindfolded. Nice job! Hey good to see ya back!

[@MOTOPILOT6]

Actually this is my first time tearing into it. =-) Nice to be back.

[@scottww6057]

Gutsy move though, a lot of people would have killed to have the bike the way it was. It's going to be very interesting how it turns out. It would be cool to do a pic side by side comparison, bet their won't be anything recognizable

[@mattkoontz5517]

You been busy! Cant wait to see the rest!

[@HippoFingerboards]

Wow thats a serious tear down, love the step by step! you moved the camera a lot! keep up the good work can't wait to see the build up!

[@davemilbourne7761]

Chrome doesn’t get you home!! Nice breakdown. Just got a ‘05 Twinkie FLSTF to build a Bobber. Thanks for some ideas.

[@michaelyackovich155]

but sure looks good when your bike is standing still

[@katsugi183]

Absolutely amazing ❤️❤️ looking forward to the next episode ❤️ hope you had a tray when the oil spilled out😲

[@2laneblacktop943]

Awesome, looking forward to the next installment

[@MeatballRebel]

Very surprised you used that bike which is/was sweet. That said, looking foward to the end result.

[@louisfeurino7182]

My wife’s first bike was a V-Star 650, a 2001. We bought it new when she took the motorcycle course. In 2007 she bought a Harley Deluxe, but we kept the V-Star. My daughter and my son-in-law both learned to ride on it, but now, both have their own motorcycles. I had been thinking about selling it even though I have a sentimental attachment to it. I am just retired with time on my hands. I think that I will try to turn the 650 into a bobber. Since you don’t know me, you have no idea just how non mechanical I am as a person. This would be similar to a guy volunteering to land the jet because he has played with a flight simulator. Nothing ventured, nothing gained is now my motto. Thank you for inspiring me.

[@johnygsx-s7507]

Nice video, can't wait to see the end result

[@MOTOPILOT6]

You and me both!!!

[@minover81]

Hi moto pilot, I follow you from Italy and you are very good at creating new bikes.

[@howiemac9413]

Nice vid..... Thanks for doing this one....

[@kevinpeterson4098]

This just showed me what I'm looking to build, not buy! I don't need flames and chrome everywhere! Plus chrome weighs a ton and holds heat! I'm new to this channel and can't wait to watch the whole build! Good job so far!

[@michelecondon7821]

That was alot of work and art. Love bobbers!! Awesome 👌

[@rubencarcha7996]

nice bobber, wish to have that kind of bike

[@paddyp75]

This dude is awsome!! Super cool cat

[@SABCRAZY13]

Strip it down, nice... I am registered to win some gear!!! 😉👍

[@karcibytca1406]

A very inspiring building. What is the volume of the fuel tank?

[@joonya4427]

14:45 MP. Nothing stripped out in that fork leg. The dampening rod was just spinning with the retaining bolt. You didn't need to drill it out and risk damaging the fork lower. The proper way to deal with that situation is to get a retaining tool that you insert from the top of the fork to hold the dampening rod still. Alternately, you could have put some washers under the fork cap to compress the spring more. Sometimes the extra spring force is enough to hold the dampening rod still.

[@MOTOPILOT6]

Actually the allen head was stripped and my allen wrench was spinning on the bolt. But good advise.

[@joonya4427]

Ah. Fair enough. Thought you meant the thread was stripped. Anyway, hope the advice helps you or somebody else at some point. Ride safe dude.

[@stevenfortier6436]

Niiiiice bro! Gonna be Sooo much more betta looking.

[@REIFTHATHIEF]

I loves me some Chrome, but c'mon! , that's a GRIP OF FLAMES! hahaha

[@briancrobinson]

Another amazing video, by my favorite motovlogger... The KZbin algorithm must hate you bro, (and I know its got to piss you off) your videos never show up in my subscription box... I'll continue to seek out your videos, even though I have the notification bell on.

[@MOTOPILOT6]

Thank you for this message. Im really struggling internally with youtube. I might express the scope of struggles in a future video.

[@briancrobinson]

@@MOTOPILOT6 no problem. I just wanted to keep you aware of what's going on.. I know it's frustrating to hear, but you need to know. Keep the amazing videos coming and please know, either way your fans will keep supporting the channel.

[@bozidar.dimovski]

Top job, Thankyou for the detailed info

[@harleycashinfo388]

Freakin Sweet I saw a few episodes ahead....Black socks and shorts and straight bill hats this must be California.

[@blujack100]

Very cool.

[@Nrijder]

I got so annoyed by all the unnecessairy Chrome parts just watching this haha. I like where this is going.

[@Kevin_Ho70]

Amazing mechanical skills! When you changing your name to Moto Mechanic?!! Lol

[@louiesamazingtrucks6464]

So cool bro!!!

[@luissalazar2021]

That is wicked

[@mhough3]

Holy Cow, you demolished your bike! How do you keep it all straight?

[@MOTOPILOT6]

I have my ways. You'll see in Episode 2

[@okie__moto7474]

Discovered you through surfing moto vlogs. Awesome channel you have here! Professional quality! I just started myself, but my quality is no where near this production! Lol...sub'd

[@probablysomebody]

When your wife realizes you're using her salad bowl as an oil catch...

[@bigflave2947]

FUCK YA!!! Cool video 👍

[@michaelracobs1956]

Must of been 100 pounds of chrome on that thing. It's going to fill like it has a crap load more horsepower when your done.

[@MOTOPILOT6]

For sure. I'm going to figure out the weight loss in another Episode. I should do a poll for you guys to guess

[@kevinpeterson4098]

I'd guess 350lbs

[@Roddzilla71]

I would have grabbed a stock fat boy off craigslist. And left this custom together, maybe sold it to finance most everything, still lots of chrome lovers out there. Either way, the bobber turned out great, has me combing the want ads for a cheap fat boy.

[@johnfair62]

Can you give us a complete list of parts you used?

[@glenirven1785]

Can you tell me where and what type of glasses you wear? Sorry it's not bike related 😎👍🏻

[@MOTOPILOT6]

Oakley Frame...no longer available or I'd get another pair.

[@glenirven1785]

@@MOTOPILOT6 that's a shame, always the way aye 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@timhadaway984]

You had me until you used the torque wrench as a breaker bar....lol....The big box stores sell them pretty cheap....J/K....really can't wait to see what happens with this project. I have a Softail Custom that I am thinking about doing the same thing with.

[@MOTOPILOT6]

I use my broken one as a breaker

[@ssamotorsfinland]

Cool!

[@dahlmasen3084]

A Harley fat boy is like 15k in Sweden😅 Otherwise I would love to do something like this too!

[@shayelizabeth3414]

stupid question; what kind of handlebars are those?

[@flyingdog1498]

Metal

[@53iBro]

Thank god all that chrome is gone! Chrome should be a tasteful accent, not the main course!

[@murphfee617]

She's gonna be a looker when she's done good Shit pilot.

[@critstixdarkspear5375]

Lost enough chrome to make 2 Suzuki’s and a bar fridge.

I would have kept the nacelle on he headlight
