Going long on the Sportster chopper

[@DiogenesOG]

So glad you have those fork tubes and not the "other" ones because I had two of the "others" and both were bad straight out of the box. Tube diameters were out of spec, surfaces were marred from the factory and the hard chroming pitted within a couple of thousand miles. The tubes could be installed but were a sloppy fit within the sliders so under braking they would "clunk" and send a shock through the handlebars.

Videos like these make me wish I'd bought a Sportster instead of my Dyna (which -in all fairness- I love) Sporties are badass tho, good work! Thanks for the vid, Imma keep it as reference.

[@SUPPORTYOURSELF]

I appreciate your kind words! I'm a small dude so sporty's "fit" me better. One day I may do an big twin evo chop though!

[@davidclifton4394]

awsome im just beginning my motorcycle adventure. Ive been a Trucker for 20 years; currently a fuel truck driver. Im going for my motorcycle license next month and hope to get a used sportster. I gave loved them since i was a kid and now is the time to get it.

[@SUPPORTYOURSELF]

HELL YES! Happy hunting!! Thanks for tuning in brother

[@joalvarez6252]

Well, did you find you a sportser scooter?! Youve had 3 months chief!

[@jasonkeat8098]

love the stance with the 6" over

[@SUPPORTYOURSELF]

Thank you!

[@johnlennon8653]

Had an iron head that ran like crap after extending the front end because I determined that the carburetor float bowl was on a too extreme angle. My solution was to run the intake manifold through a bandsaw to separate the outer flange and welded it to a level position. Took about an hour and cost me nothing. Bike ran as good as it did before longer tubes.

[@SUPPORTYOURSELF]

Dang what a head scratcher! I didn't even consider the effect on the carb. Thank you for sharing!

[@johnlennon8653]

@@SUPPORTYOURSELF Probably others have figured that out also. Built lots of bikes over my 61 years, was a bike mechanic for 5 years. In 1976 I helped an older friend ( I was 13) build a 1951 panhead “61inch” chopper with a 15” over girder, raked and stretched frame, jockey shift that he still has. I’ve rode it several times and he is leaving it to me when he’s gone, so I can take care of it.

[@mykebulley8332]

I love your approach man - very relatable for someone just getting into customizing. Mistakes will (and prob should) be made in order to figure things out. Support yourself, but also, don't take yourself too serious. Keep it up!

[@SUPPORTYOURSELF]

I appreciate that and welcome to the channel! Mistakes are learning opportunities and all part of the program! Happy building!!

[@anj4de]

Great result, the classic "Billy Bike" geometry! Would love to have such tubes in 35mm for my Honda.

[@SUPPORTYOURSELF]

Thank you! I love the lowbrow hardtail and adding the extended forks really dialed it in. Best part about it is it handles super well, all things considered.

[@KidSwifty]

Love it man, waiting on parts for my build and watching these really helps!

[@SUPPORTYOURSELF]

THANK YOU! Glad I could help with the down time! Happy building

[@syeahtsam]

nice build and work! i just ordered my 6' fork tube extension and i hope to enjoy it and dont brake the front end!

[@SUPPORTYOURSELF]

Thank you and happy building!

[@aroncharlwood1777]

Currently doing a ground up build on my sportster I'm in Australia it's cost way more than I imagined probably would have been cheaper to Go on a holiday and build it there

Just stumbled on your channel. I don't know why, because all I've been watching is Goldwing reviews Lmfao, Awesome build. I want to build a sporty chop in the near future. I feel a good connection with this, especially since I do my own work on my bikes and always lose parts in the dirt/grass.

Nice bike, I have a couple of questions, I hope you can help me, in addition to the long bars did you put anything else? Like dampers or something extra? I'm about to set the bars +6 but I want the look you achieved, it's great, but my bike is not hard tail, is only with the 10.5 rear shocks lol

[@SUPPORTYOURSELF]

Thank you! When you install the extended tubes, you will need to make plastic spacers for the springs. It can be done really easily with PVC pipe. Everything else stays the same!

You notice the change really when moving the bike around or moving at very slow speeds. Riding around it feels great.
