TC Bros. Harley Sportster Weld-On Hardtail

[@clow3160]

What I love most about your videos is that your doing all this in a budget friendly shop and not with a bunch of fancy tools that most of us cant afford. Great build man!

[@chopperjohn9977]

Super cool. Been thinking of doing a hardtail sporster and you did a good job at showing what is needed to be done.

[@MrGutfeeling]

Really nice video, the change in music was nice, great shots and explanations. It was actually a joy to watch!

[@zenpro8164]

great job as always Son, also Im loving the look of your temp rear wheel, Im sure the replacement wheel will look just as good if not better, hats off on a great new mod

[@MrSimulatedsanity]

CHOP CHOP!! Been waiting to see you do the conversion and see whats involved. Awesome

[@JamesRussle365]

Did the same for my 2015 48... this is gonna look sick. Excited for the next video

[@BerserkerNick]

I noticed the old AMF tank at the beginning of the video and immediately said "ooh I hope he uses that tank"

[@cdula26]

But it’s not a AMF bike 😂 I have a shovel head why would I ride around with a shirt on with a road glide on the back of it lol

[@BerserkerNick]

@@cdula26Why have something that looks like everyone else's?, the awesome part of building a chopper or a bobber is being able to utilize parts from other things to make it unique. Also the only one that really cares about what shirt you're wearing is you, lol.

[@cdula26]

@@BerserkerNick yeah I know what building a chopper is, I have a 78 shovelhead with a 24 over rigid front end, hard tail, downtube and backbone stretch, neck raked 55 degrees, painted by me, open chain primary, jockey shift, foot clutch, no front brake, king and queen seat built by me, handlebars made by me. Everything I’ve pretty much handmade on the bike. You wouldn’t catch me with twin cam badges or emblems on the tank lol. Sure using other bikes parts or whatever is cool but displaying amf on a non AMF bike is goofy lol.

[@cdula26]

@evergreen prospectors nah I had no clue, considering I own a AMF bike.

[@u4eeahh676]

Thats really looking good I've done the TC frame also im a welder by trade and beveled the pipes really well . Then took a 2 inch belt sander too make it look stock no weld joint .

[@workbetternow]

can't wait to see the finished product... I'm almost ready to chop my sportster now.

[@dcbgny7963]

Wow.....You are a great teacher in Chopping 101.

[@seccopunx3495]

Yes!!! finally spectacle for the eyes...!! great.

[@HoboJohnGalt]

Ordered it today from you guys. For my 2001 883. Can’t wait. I’ve got to get that kick start and the hammer kit in and I’ll be ready.

[@roadsterman]

I liked the relaxing music . Great job on this frame. Thanks

[@philmachon2048]

Hey could you post your welder settings for the hardtail? Wire size, speed and voltage? Having trouble with my setup during practice. Thanks and great job on the build.

[@JuanVargas-uy3cu]

Awesome. Can't wait to see the finished product. Keep the Vids coming!

[@Paradiselost2802]

It's coming together. Gonna be a nice little chop.

[@juanmendez3236]

I like what you did I love those kind of bikes show me the Finish finished job what you did looks awesome

[@maryspeight2840]

Good job. This will be what I do next time around, instead of buying a Paugcho frame. Much easier to get registered this way. Be Safe. Guy Speight

[@MrPauleerose]

Love your endeavours, keep the videos coming you are an inspiration to me.

[@mysporty7149]

Hell yae. got my tc bro hardtail on my sporty this weekend. was not bad looks great

[@choppularmechanics]

Gnarly dude. It's going to be killer. Keep on keepin on.

[@manuelgamboa3401]

When do you think you’ll share the next video? I can’t wait, I want to see another part 😅 you Rock!! Greetings from Costa Rica

[@ronduff4325]

I love those tires ! The Sporty I just got has got new tires but no tread . I live in the woods and park in the basement , if the grass has dew on it I can't get out of my yard . I never had this much problem with my FLH Dresser.

[@thedadrider4569]

This is on my wish list! Thank you for the video! Love the project!

[@BackAlleyCycles]

Thanks for showing the process gonna be doing the same to my sporty soon

[@garyballard723]

Excellent video, very informative and a quality job. Thanks for posting.

[@coreyreeb]

i would love to see how you clean up the wiring for this. Mine got so messy

[@jimmyturbeville8753]

job well done young man enjoy the ride

[@Leo30584]

VERY NICE WORK, DUDE !! GREATINGS FROM BRAZIL

[@shrederyoungblood69]

I had the tc bros but I’m waiting for the prism supply hard tail to drop. Hopefully I’ll be building a sporty next year

[@arturogonzalessr.6248]

Good instructions , job well done 😳

[@Liveharley1]

You looked like pro, cut that bike in half. I have never modified a bike like that, very interesting to watch. Enjoyed it.

[@joetheman357]

Really doesnt look to bad to do. Wanting to do this to my 98 sportster i just picked up. Great video 👍

[@someonesomewheresomdeday]

good video man! I'm considering building a bobber after I finish my current project. Glad to see the TC Bros rear frame fit so well.

[@phx_obs117]

So Da Nice Dude!!!! Looking forward to more!

[@eatgreenveggies]

Stoked to see this guild. 🤙🏽

[@fahrezafiqi708]

Hope I can do the same thing once by myself here in Indonesia, such a great beauty.

[@melindaortiz9741]

💯👍

[@melindaortiz9741]

U will

[@panheadric]

always do the rosette weld last to allow for gas's to expel while welding but if you did perfect & low brow & TC bro's sells a repackaged product ,meaning most of what they sell is the same parts that v twin manufacturing , mid usa m/c , drag specialties , midwest m/c & etc , sell Except they mark the price up higher than retail . Support your local chopper shop when you can & keep your money local but if there sending you free parts I understand ,lol.. , Keep up the good videos .

[@LNSPLTBLVD]

thanks for the tip about the Rosette weld! didn't know that. I'm not a welder by trade so any advice is greatly appreciated

[@GwenSwan]

OMG, you're gonna change that rear wheel, I'm so happy. I hated that rear wheel. I hope that you change the front wheel for a slim 26" wheel. It will look really awesome. I can't wait to see you ride it at the next camp out. Cheers!

[@timmyb2507]

Thanks man. Amazing work like always.

[@Dan_LEFTHAND_Docimo]

nice job brother! something i also wanted to do to my 883 but never had the time or the balls lol , looks mint !

[@4MATAStudio]

Bruh that seemed way easier than I thought. Now I'm not so afraid to do this myself someday.

[@chago_8836]

I’ve been waiting for this all day. First comment

[@harleyriderny69]

Awesome video as always. 👍

[@highsteppa3332]

Great job brah, wow. U got me wanting to but.mann once I make that cut, no turning back. Stay rigid!!!!

[@terranovnicek1567]

You can always swap your shit back to a swingarm frame. Chop away brother

[@GiancarloFloyd]

Awesome I’ve been waiting for one of y’all to do a hardtail sporty.

[@jordansparkman9430]

Awesome man! Loving this build already!

[@barb8855]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the progress

[@Petermakes]

Beautiful work Son!

[@catchthatkidfan]

It looks like you used MIG welding instead of TIG, is that correct? If so, why did you choose that and have you had any problems with this approach? Trying to determine how I should weld my future project. Great video!

[@jpapss]

Tig weld. There is no other option in my book.

[@Dave-1277]

Nice job Mr. LNSPLT! Real quality work my man, be safe out there brother! Dave from Rhode Island

[@matts.1758]

Hey what size/type wire are you running in the video? Thanks!

[@odombrosnorsereview5675]

That’s going to be sick

[@RogerJG21]

I been waiting for this video, Man I'm Loving this build, man you killing it Bro. Looking forward to more!

[@ervinbrion7343]

daaaaaaammmmmnnnnnnn. doin work, bro. cant wait to see the end result! 👍🏽

[@vincentvelazquez6001]

Very good job,welldone and well explained,the sporty is really going to be awesome.Greetings from France.

[@michaelwilder5932]

That's the exact reason why I'm torn between lowbrow and Tc Bros. Love the axle plate and rear motor mount of lowbrow, but I hate the ascetics of the backbone to downtown.

[@michaelwilder5932]

I also love the electronics tray that Tc Bros offers with their hardtail kit.

[@SolidFoxHoundSF]

You won’t see the downtube anyway if you use a horseshoe oil bag. The lowbrow kit and the throttle addiction kit will end looking tighter and more put together than a tcbros kit. I’ve built all 3 and other brands as well. I’d skip the tc kit if I were you.

[@ronniecurnutt4309]

Pretty sweet and you made it look easy , Bravo

[@Ridesnratchets]

Man after watching you do this oi m more confident about hardtailing my iron head now haha thanks for the inspo bro!

[@AJKammerer]

Looks so sick!

[@arthurleino]

I think you do a awesome job! I am old and need the shocks on my 1983 FXWG.

[@TaterGrabbinBass]

It’s coming along nicely!

[@daleedwards8186]

Would love to see how you wired this unit

[@j.bowens9189]

great job man, what is your welder set up?

[@randerson4124]

"chop at your own risk" I smell merch also, Lowbrow Customs has a really good how to for hard tailing your Harley

[@LNSPLTBLVD]

yea I watched that video a few times before I chopped mine

[@lwsfr976]

Love the vids. Can’t wait to see this finished.

[@siamdarkweldertigwelding5874]

Nice chop !,, great videos thanks for a work hard in your channel love it.

Belleza de moto, ojalá algún día pueda andar en una

[@joesixpack6323]

Is this one gunna be a jockey shift like ur other builds?

[@LNSPLTBLVD]

I don’t plan on it but who knows might change my mind later

[@BillTheHarleyGuy]

i'm working on my 1988 Sportster 1200 and i been wanting to weld a hardtail to it. i'll be going to the TC Bros website and check them out.great video 👍

[@codykeyes5704]

Gonna be badass. Really enjoy your videos

[@roberthatfield1369]

Great work bro. I'm a fan!

[@alvarolourenco2268]

nice project, keep on good working!

[@thefishkeeper07]

Great video thank you! In general is Mig preferred over Tig or does it not matter? I wanted to tig mine for a better looking weld but I’m not sure if it would penetrate as good as Mig…. Still learning welding. Thank you!

[@ceec6923]

Nice work dude Keep the awesome videos coming

[@joellekarma]

Yepper I buy mot of the parts for my Kz750 I bought my unassembled rear frame section from TC bros the quality of the parts was great.

[@cdula26]

“Chop at your own risk” 😂😂

[@johnthurmanmerman]

What welder are you using for welding on the hard tail and the rest of your fab work?

[@thomaswiggersmller8983]

Very nicely done!. It bugs me that their hardtail "rear down tubes" are not matching the angle on the frame backbone.

[@everettcalhoun8197]

I agree. What a perfect opportunity to highboy the neck to match the hardtail. Should be able to run a 34 degree neck with a 6 over front end. I am doing that mod right now.

[@spudwrencher9262]

Gonna do one real soon

[@paulsilson2148]

Very talented young man

[@ilovecarnitas]

Hey cool vid. I’m not very familiar with choppin n hardtaillin. how does jack up the back for the engine case off the frame check affect it? Does it shift the gravity? Im guessing in final state the cases don’t want to be touching? Thanks

[@charliegutierrez8728]

I like it bro. Im from the north bay originally but if you need a awesome custom painter. Look up Kyle Martin in napa thats my brotha from a nother matha. Keep it up.

[@pinehillprimitives1]

I’m not a welder but am curious if mig welding the frame works just fine instead of needing to tig weld it

[@jameslewis8232]

why did you drill the frame after cutting, i didn't see where you used the holes, you fitted the frame and went to welding?

[@tonyv2655]

Appreciate this bro

[@rafaelyuen8349]

I like you video! Are you planning to show more progresses of building it? I am thinking to chop my forty eight. This is a good 101 for me.

[@rafaelyuen8349]

@@LNSPLTBLVD haha right. helps a lot

[@C2daF]

Awesome progress Son! Been watching your videos for a while now and they are definitely inspirational. Would a mig welder work for these sort of chops? In would like to get a welder but want to get the right one for the type of metal for motorcycles.

The one used in this video is a MIG
