[@MoeBarlow]

The shorter finder made a big difference my friend. Bad ass ride.

[@Motonewbrider]

Mohammed Barlow thanks fella

[@dod3776]

Bike is looking very personal now....congrats. If I was you I would be well pleased with the outcome. Good post...thanks, and keep them coming.

[@Motonewbrider]

Hey George, cheers buddy... Super happy... Wait till you see my next vlog, best one yet mate. Out by Friday I reckon.

[@dod3776]

Motonewbrider look forward to it..be safe

[@dod3776]

Motonewbrider I just heard you guys have a meet this Saturday coming in towcester?? I would have popped down but have a dyna and live nearly 400 miles away which would take about 6 hrs on my bike.. hope you have a good day and also take some footage...

[@aaronmarkham5791]

did the same mod on my wideglide. only I cut the bottom of the fender and rolled it into the frame . my passenger seat mount is now my solo seat mount and no expensive paint repair. plus factory finished edge

[@archenermy]

Top marks too the tech for letting you film him as he worked his magic...

[@Motonewbrider]

he's a star mate - lots more to come from Russ as well, he does all the fabrication for the main dealerships. Very well known and a great guy.

[@sportsterfanatic6593]

Dam! That dude was pretty good. And it did look on your bike and will look even better after it's painted.

[@Motonewbrider]

Sportster Fanatic it looks awesome mate she did the photo rounds on sportstergram ( Instagram ) got lots of attention 👍

[@gordonjoyce2157]

Just ordered a 2017 48, can't wait to start the custom job!

[@Motonewbrider]

Gordon Joyce it's addictive !!

[@the_kingd0m]

Short enough to look good, but not quite long enough to ride two up on occasion. I'll go a little longer

[@WalterCruz-USA]

Harley - Davidson number 1.🌎🇺🇸🦅🏍 #Freedom.❤

[@TheRaulr151]

Great video on the process for anyone wanting to DIY

[@A.zaidan86]

Awesome job guys, i loved the new short fender

[@lakegeneva4851]

Very brave! Nice one! Looking forward to the rest.

[@Motonewbrider]

Lake Geneva48 1 more week mate then the exhaust is going on can't wait

[@jeffmccool2386]

Yes, I think it looks great. I have one. I’m curious to know how much it would cost to do that and how much would it ruin the bike value as well? I most definitely it’s not for two people. It’s for one person. It’s Intown fun bike.

[@Majorvideonut2]

I bought a k model several years ago that some one had cut the back finder off and every time it would rain it would sling water right up my back... you can have my part of cut offs.

[@gabrifol]

At 4:07 you mounted klock werks strut covers, where I can buy it for my 2013's sportster iron? I really need them! Thanks!

[@glenwarrillow4060]

Gabrifol I think he means cult werx

[@cabritafx]

Really cool vlog mark!

[@Motonewbrider]

More to come mate

[@Crabbers_paints]

great mod, really helps the rear end. looking forward to more vids!

[@Motonewbrider]

Thanks! Next one out end of this week, thanks for watching.

[@ZANA41]

If you cut the frame , than is any possibility to put a second passenger sit?

[@michaelsmith1094]

NOPE

[@PedroLucas-go6ye]

What would you do if you want to pick up some lone as a passenger?

[@albertmichall5732]

How come everyone cuts the struts off the end of the frame ? thank you

[@mathias4060]

As someone who is a trained bodyworker I think this lad, while coming across a bit carless, is actually really good at what he does. He uses good technique.

[@canalmileduque]

Great job!!! 👌

[@Motonewbrider]

Cheers !!

[@dayonejung]

What kind of spacers did you need when you swapped them out with chain sprocket?

[@gordonjoyce2157]

Looks great,math at guy can fab!

[@Motonewbrider]

Russ is awesome very good at his craft

[@BelenEClark]

I can't find the klock werks strut covers anywhere online, can you please point me in. the right direction?

[@faithbiker8262]

Great and interesting video while he works on transforming your bike!

[@Motonewbrider]

Thanks fella hope alls well in the US.

[@Seoulshakers]

who makes those strut covers? I know it states klock werks but they said they don't make them.

[@BRUISER1]

sweet ride mate 👍

[@Motonewbrider]

thanks

[@MrBuzzybear]

Nice video mark, bike looks nice n clipped now, those strut covers, are they a Harley part? how does doing this mod affect resale if indeed your intending to sell on?

[@Motonewbrider]

Hi Kev, overall I believe when you start customising if you look to sell the person buying needs to have the same taste as you, so that narrows your market so it's risky. Interms of value all money you put in post stock I believe you will lose 80% of it. The market is full of sports that are super competitive in terms of cost. I will keep this sporty now as i plan to mod the hell out of it. The strut covers are called cult works I believe, I made a spelling mistake in the vlog - LOL. Take care Kev

[@hotelbastard7853]

If Harley diversifies its riders, should they also do it to the dealerships?

[@michaelsmith1094]

Really like the builder, seems like he really has done this before Hey Boss! Sorry ya cant hear the accent.

[@pamsimonson5500]

So sick and easy

[@hebohviral2989]

Good job

[@timmurphy2825]

Love it! Love it! Makes me want a 48 and customize it!!!

[@BigCarts]

Great looking custom mate, what other changes do you think you'll make?

[@Motonewbrider]

Exhaust next - Hand made by Russ (who did the rear fender)

[@gtx332]

Fleshlight pipes. Nice

[@1990-t1j]

Very interesting.

[@adamlewis7599]

Fantastic!!! Love the individual look! I noticed you've gone for a side mounted plate?? Where from?? Who's?? Been looking for the right one and I think you have it! Can't wait to see the new pipe(s) Mark. Don't be too long next time ;-) Regards Adam

[@Motonewbrider]

Adam Lewis It's from Shaw Speed & Custom

[@phamnguyen6504]

How to setup camera on your helmet?

[@Thecockpituk500]

How is it in wet weather now?

[@Motonewbrider]

try not to ride in wet weather. I can imagine my back will get wet

[@Thecockpituk500]

But it looks way good then before great job!

[@Thecockpituk500]

U think 48 i capable for daily commute?

[@mindofd]

This is like getting a tattoo and the tattoo artist says, halfway through, “Are you sure you want to do this?”

[@LordBeowulf]

where's part 3? enjoying the videos mate

[@Motonewbrider]

Jeffrey Salgado mate the pipes are being made on Jan 12th so part 3 will be up on Sunday 15th January 7 pm ( uk time ) - I've got my next vlog up this Sunday which is Battle Of The Kings 2017 where I show the final build of the sportster for Shaw Speed and Custom - mental bike !! Thanks for the support Mate

[@aleshqa29]

[@Motonewbrider]

[@markrumfola9833]

Sweet Bikes

[@sthelenamassive]

Looking good mate, I really want do mine but MRS has said no!😂 where am I goin sit she keeps saying lol good for u mate,

[@Motonewbrider]

That's a tough one, perhaps a second bike LOL

[@raneeshrk]

What do you do about the tank capacity on long rides??

[@Motonewbrider]

Rk honestly mate it's fine - you just need to plan certain journeys.... when I first had the 48 I was slightly anxious because of the fuel situation but now I don't even think about it.

[@minipeppers6928]

Just plan getting fuel ever 130 miles or so. Atleast what I do with my 883

[@joewood7225]

If someone could make a replacement for the struts [to be able to ride 2 up] they would make a fortune !

[@jasonconaway69]

Beautiful bike! Love the Confederate flag in the background! Beautiful!

[@ivanalbertobattista6529]

SUPER TOP !!!

[@craik7]

what brand is your exhaust?

[@Motonewbrider]

craik Vance & Hines

[@shariarsakib7762]

Sir, I want to work with them

[@jessicakaine4364]

I'd go ape shit if I had seen my bike there next to that grinding with no cover over it.

[@anishasshorts4104]

I want too learn how to custom Harley I nam from India

[@brianminkc]

I liked it better stock

[@davidcarr9563]

No more two up riding and muddy water all over your back in the rain not to mention butchering a perfectly good bike.

[@Cyril_Harperink_87]

Whyyyyyyy ???? :-( i know this is your choice Mark, but im sorry i don't like. Original was nice. :-/

[@Motonewbrider]

thats cool not to like it buddy - thats the purpose of custom its to suit you not everyone else - hope alls well.

[@sst9924]

너무 야맨데 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[@maxmoen9480]

You cut your fender....you suffer the one behind you, splashing mud on their face....nasty and unethical issue...shame on you
