RIDING a CHOLO SOFTAIL in NEW YORK

[@edgarcapacete5394]

Love the cameras on the bike. It's like we are along for the ride. Thanks brother.

[@cannotcostsmorethancan]

my new most watched , great channel , great camera , can not even put into words how appreciative one is for these and the others you make . Two stroke , three yrs apart ,recovery , license is toast now but still fire em up and rev em at odd hours of the night . again , thanks for the trip .

[@brianpaul21]

Really like this new format. Felt like I was there.

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

Thanks man. People spoke up in the comments on the last film and said they wanted more riding footage. So this was kind of a beta test for riding footage/format

[@DeepDelta527]

Need more videos of you guys just riding. No talking. No music. Just awesome video with riding and pipes with your awesome cinematography. You look awesome on your bike. The sound coming through my stereo surround is SICK!

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

Glad you liked it man. I didn't think anybody would really enjoy just "riding" with exhaust sound.

[@DeepDelta527]

@@JETFILMCHANNEL Oh yes. There are several KZbin accounts where people are doing their thing with no sound and no talking. Like Kraig Adams hiking. Or My Self Reliance. Love stuff like that.

I need more of you's just riding. Love all the Cholo videos but the riding I like best personally. Thanks man!!!

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

Understood, I plan I getting more of that in this upcoming year. Question, what kind of riding do you find most interesting to watch? Highway, city, backroad, mainroad?

Huge fan! been around bikes my whole life growing up watching my dad build them. Your cholo bike is kick ass man and i like how you did the audio in this video! stumbled upon your channel a few weeks ago and its a kick ass channel man

[@khofeling]

It was encouraging to see that you had (seemingly) minimal pipe scraping riding on those uneven roads. That gives me hope with my 39" fishtails. I have been a bit afraid to lower my bike too much because it is handling so well (so far). I like to ride hard through the canyons and appreciate a decent lean angle :)

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

The good thing about air suspension is that you can raise it to give more lean capability and then lower it when you're hittin the strip.

[@khofeling]

@@JETFILMCHANNEL Very good point. I'm likely going with your Shotgun shock recommendation this winter.

[@ericmcelroy6970]

Stumbled on your channel. Love it. Love that it’s not about M8 Baggers. The sound of Twin Cams I miss sooooo much. Sounds crazy but thinkin about trading down to a 14-16 103HO RK. Anyhow cool channel.

[@Wreck-it_Ralph]

Love the mic on the pipes

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

Glad you mentioned that, because I spend quite a bit of time and effort on sound. The microphone was actually in my backpack wrapped in studio foam. It eliminates just about 100% of the wind, but keeps the sound of the bike. It was slightly muffled for my taste, so I ran the sound through a couple different processesors to bring out the true sound but still a little muffled. Nonetheless, it's better than relying on camera mics.

[@DB-ri7uo]

Great video brother! Love the riding footage, both bikes are bad ass!!! Keep up the great work 👍🏽

[@Verdademundial]

Brother, animal your channel on your deluxe! I have one, greetings from the south of Brazil! One question, I'm having difficulty maintaining the quality of videos exported from Gopro to youtube. What settings do you use to finalize material before uploading? Thanks!

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

Thank you! Here's a couple tips - when you're creating a video in the editing software, set your resolution for 4k, which is 3840 x 2160. When you save your final video, make sure to save at a high bit rate, such as 100Mbps and ensure that your are saving at 4k resolution. When you upload to KZbin, their system will recognize that you are uploading a 4k video as opposed to 1080, and they'll give you the better video codec to ensure high quality playback. Just be aware that even with the better codec, it'll never be as good as the original version. Their codec's are highly compressed formats which can make beautiful footage look "good" at best.

[@NorCalGuy]

Your videos are so well done.

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

Thank you

Nice one John, Sam's put some work in since we last seen his bike. Forks adds yet another dimension as I don't think ivr seen any cholos rocking a black?? My cholo, I'm learning to live with the pipes scraping which isn't as bad as I thought it would be, but some of these UK country roads are just too bouncy for a Cholo, 40 or 50mph max 😅 last bike arriving lol Nice change up with the video, get more ride talk in is an option, appreciate all your efforts man, 💪

[@Jboyz0323]

[@Paul20661]

Saw a gorgeous Shadow 750 cholo styly something like that,absolutely love it,thinking about getting it I sold my Dragstar 650 about a month ago and last Monday bought a VN 800 but I don't rly like it that much,I wanted to get an Intruder 1400 who was more like that but couldn't get it in the end and ended up with the Vulcan to not stay without a bike any longer but yeah

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

I hate to sound like a harley snob, but even with an old harley it'd be easier to find cholo parts for.

[@Paul20661]

lol came back to this vid now August 15 2023 After 2 years,still got the Vulcan but not for long this my 3rd bike and never had this many bike problems with any of my other bikes Bike's been sitting at mechanics since March...should finally be able to ride it this week or the next one Just waiting for a starter clutch to arrive here from Japan...

[@jabierguardiola1071]

What’s the name of the helmet you’re wearing and where can I purchase one?

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

It's called a novelty helmet. Try ebay or Amazon

[@salvadorvasquez6566]

What size are your handlebars? And how long can you ride before you need to rest your arms/shoulders?

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

They're 16's on 2" risers. It depends how long I can ride based on the road conditions, but typically I can ride for at least an hour and a half before I'd like a break

[@chavez_ff1865]

What brand and model of helmet is that?

amazing... what gear do you use for filming?

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

Thanks, for on-board cameras I just use GoPro's. I have a couple 7's and a 9. For remote sound I use a tascam field recorder. A DJI air 2s for aerial shots and a Sony a7siii for principle filming

[@arminsalchner]

@@JETFILMCHANNEL that’s awesome your videos are stunning How do you color grade this cinematic intro ? By yourself or do you use a special LUT for that?

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

The intro was done using a combination of a LUT, manual color grading and a few other effect filters. I wanted it to look moody, a little dull in color, with baseline hues of blue to give a colder feeling.

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

I just realized that you weren't talking about the latest film. This film was kinda the same but I remember more manual color grading was necessary to get the sky/sun to pop on that drone intro shot

[@about_osx]

tell me. The handlebar is carlinidesign ?

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

Yes

[@about_osx]

@@JETFILMCHANNEL One more request. The muffler is Samson's 39inch?

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

They're steady custom cycles fishtails. Samson headers

[@TaterGrabbinBass]

I love the videos, your bike has come together nicely and I cannot wait to see what you’re going to with the new 02’ Road King because I know it’ll be nice! I was wondering what kind of helmet are you running, is it a microdot helmet?

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

Thanks man, it's just a cheap novelty helmet. You can find them on ebay/Amazon for $30

[@Itsme-mx5tl]

Saw your last video about the air ride, how is it holding up? How does it compare to the progressive 422 shocks? Is it bouncy? Looking at buying them myself

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

The air ride is holding up perfectly, and I've definitely put some miles on it through most conditions. So like i said in that film, the 422's were brutal at the full 2" drop, the shotguns can go 3". So if you ride at a 2" drop with the shotguns it's pretty tolerable while maintaining a low stance. If you want max comfort then you can raise up the air suspension to stock height and it's very comfortable. The 422's at stock height were pretty comfortable too, but air is more comfortable at stock height. Lowered, the shotguns can be bouncy at times depending on how you have it dialed in, but then again anything will be bouncy when you're at the final reaches of suspension travel. My advice - if you're looking for a true Cholo look and you have the money, go with the shotguns and never look back.

[@nickkelless]

How does the shotgun shocks feel? Greets from the Netherlands

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

For a softail I'd say its the best system out there. When it's up it's like a cloud, or fully dumped it's like riding a hard tail. Adjustable height, adjustable dampening.

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

I did a full episode on the shotgun shocks. It might answer your question a little better

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

Thanks for the opinion. It's a work in progress, maybe you'll change your mind when I figure out what I'm doing with the upper sliders. And a chrome swing arm to me, screams "I use kuryankyn parts!!!"

@@JETFILMCHANNEL lmao at chrome swing means kuryankin parts. True that, I'm not a fan of that either, that's why you got to get chrome plated swing arm. You got taste though bro. Keep em coming.

[@JETFILMCHANNEL]

I've seen some bikes pull off the chrome swingarm look. Others, not so much. Lately I've been hesitant to add more chrome, I guess I was afraid of the bike becoming one of those "chromed out" bikes, instead of just being a bike with chrome. Anyway, I appreciate the support and I encourage critiques because I do listen to you guys.

[@edgarcapacete5394]

@@JETFILMCHANNEL I'm building a lowrider Harley right now but already have ideas for my next bike. You did great with the softail. Do you have any ambitions to biuld another one? Anyways, I have an idea for a video. I saw a video where 2 guys went for a long ride to the redwoods. They decided to take a route that would bring them back ridding along the coast. While fueling up, and talking to locals, they were asked if they went to see the light house near by. When they got there they learned it is the biggest lighthouse in the West coast and the most western point of the United States. I would like for you to take us on a ride to a destination unique to the east coast. I think a lot of bikers look for destinations like that for an excuse to ride.
