Install Budget Shocks on a Sportster 10.5 inch

Install Budget Shocks on a Sportster 10.5 inch
I continue my journey of wrenching! I've always wanted to slam the rear and today I did it myself by installing 10.5 inch slammers from H&C Custom. Looks sick.

I've been a mechanic all my working life and I still take loads of pictures throughout the build. Saves an awful lot of problems later on. When you get round to re torqueing the top shock mounts, remove, clean and re loctite the bolts. The thread lock you've applied will have set by then so you'll break the seal when tightening. Some say it dont matter, me, I'd rather take an extra 10 minutes and not have my shocks fall off thanks very much! Great video again, keep learning, stay safe.

[@richardguinan3298]

Interesting to see how much preload was cranked into the stock shocks. Thanks for the video

[@vincentkriek2956]

Great vlog! Just bought shocks for my 883, same size. Think this is the right modification. Thnx for the instructions, the are great! 👍🏻

[@Motonewbrider]

Appreciate it 👍

[@jjbromley1986]

Is that a different rear funder to the one you cut? did you have a video of mounting and indicators please. Cheers from Aus

[@boom3863]

Did you use a lift to adjust the height of the bike when putting on the new shocks?

[@sdawsonsd11]

Love the video and of course the bike I could learn a lot from these hopefully I'll be riding next year I HAVE THE POWER

[@MrJruta]

Beautiful work of art

[@jimdilorenzo7513]

where did you get that awesome drive pully cover

[@61kwt]

Well done. Where did you get these rear turn signals from?

[@mojomanmurph1925]

Came across a guy who took his shocks off and welded custom made steel bars to make it a hard tail. He said he liked the way it rode like that. To each his own.

[@boom3863]

Did you need to adjust tension on the belt?

[@nonope7000]

Question, what size rear tire is that?

[@Lightningcollector2021]

They look the nuts! Reckon you’ll change them again once you’ve done some riding on em! Good video and content as usual!

[@Motonewbrider]

I'm setting my expectations low in comfort as I said in the vlog - lol. I've had progressive 11 inch in the past on another sporty and I still remember that ride.

[@the_kingd0m]

I dunno if im blind today but was the bike on a bike lift to do this job? I assume so, to decompress the rear shocks

[@michaelmouro4973]

I’m a bit confused… was this before or after you changed the rear tire to a 200? Bc you have the belt drive on there?

[@ywy223]

Great!! I wonder you rear fender. Is that custom fender? I wanna buy it!

[@jamesfox5221]

Great video!! I have mine to do, did do them on the floor or was the bike on a lift slightly raised? thx

[@Motonewbrider]

Had the sporty on a scissor lift. However both wheels had full contact on the floor.

[@jamesfox5221]

@@Motonewbrider thx gonna give it a try. The D.I.Y series is great, been meaning to try do my own work for ages 👍🏻

[@curtis1951]

How short is too short for sportster shocks? My factory shocks are 13". I'd like to lower it some but still want some travel.

[@cesarescudero1029]

Greetings friend, can you tell me what the floor of your garage is like, it is beautiful

[@marshallmazzarelli8797]

What's make and model of that seat I really like it

[@Bcharns]

Great vid bud.

[@Thumper1222]

Very cool looking

[@lukejerram3880]

Great video mate. Out of interest where did you get your tools and tool chest from?

[@Motonewbrider]

There are from Ebay mate, US PRO and I've bought a set of halfords advanced tool pack in the past.

[@lukejerram3880]

Motonewbrider lovely cheers fella 👍

Rocking the Bobhead!!! 🤙🏻💀

[@freakstensen]

Hey mate, could you share where did you dl 2017 service manual? I've tried to buy pdf for 5$ but it came out scam, so using 2011 service manual for my 2018 48. Would appreciate if you share 2017.

Are you selling your old shock absorbers?

[@mustangguns7230]

What sprocket cover is that?

[@FranBunnyFFXII]

Are those Cobra Chrome tires? I was looking at getting those. Any insight about them?

[@Motonewbrider]

Yes they are. I've had two sets in total and I think they are great. Super sticky!

[@FranBunnyFFXII]

@@Motonewbrider How long lasting are they? I was looking at them because cobra said their new compound and design gets 10% more milage than their previous tires.

[@Motonewbrider]

@@FranBunnyFFXII not too sure. I've rode almost 3k on PhatG and theirs plenty of tread.

[@waynesandland8334]

What ape hangers are they and what size?

[@jackhammond164]

Wicked videos man

[@Motonewbrider]

Thanks 👍

[@thatguyslush5779]

What size rear tire you is that?

[@sandrinehery4436]

Hello, I would like to fit burly 10.5 on a 2016 forty eight. Is it possible to send me a diagram or a photo of the mounting of the spacers between the shock absorber and the frame of the motorcycle. cordially

[@bodaddy6175]

The bars, could you tell me about the bars. Thanks

[@Motonewbrider]

16 inch and 1.5 thick custom made from a company called fortress motorcycle.

[@cliverichardson1344]

I'm guessing she doesn't call you donkey then !! Glad to see you doing your own stuff, it's a dangerous and addictive thing to be involved in you will not be able to stop. Next stage is your own project bike from the ground up, but continue to take the small steps you are doing and in a year or 2 take the plunge. Like what your'e doing, hopefully it will inspire more of you youngsters to twirl the spanners on their own bikes.

[@Motonewbrider]

Thanks for the comment! You're absolutely right - slow steps and it's getting addictive already.

[@dipppincanuck]

What bars are those?

[@robertbelcher9812]

Any rubbing?

[@r.millar]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@PieszyHD]

Hey Mate! Are you planning to keep the old shocks? PM if you consider selling those :-)

[@Motonewbrider]

Hi mate. I'm going to keep them as I've learnt not to sell stock items.

[@marksmotorcycle375]

“I have the power” “enough of that bollocks” made me laugh that did! FatG Looks great lowered, a lot meaner! Did you print the manual at home using your own printer?

[@Motonewbrider]

Yeah printed the manual at home. My wife has a monthly ink subscription which comes in handy. Works out cheaper.

[@chrisaskme811]

That’s a menacing look

[@tomboyabit]

Well done, Mark!! Finally you got the bug! Can work on mine when all this covidshit is over.

[@geddstock]

Looks good,but why would you lose even more handling when they handle like shit in the first place. But hey each to his own mam 👍

[@miketrevino8761]

Love mine. Bike handles better feels faster and the stock are junk. Stock sportys look dumber and dumber everyday. Put 10,000 miles on my slammers. I dont need a mattress to sit on. Its a motorcycle. Not a scrammbler, not a couch, so ride it. If your a little soft dont do it.

Boy a lot of talking no action
