SPORTSTER CUSTOM SOFTAIL Pt 8 FIRST RIDE

[@destinationdiscovered.283]

Just stumbled across your video, I'm currently in the middle of a chop build using a 1200 sportster, totally built from scratch which i have never done before, frame, and everything. Anyway i took a look back through your vids and ended up watching the whole sportster build, great videos and nice to see the shed builds are still well and truly alive ;-) I thoroughly enjoyed them..

been looking at yr build ..very fine job i must say , can i ask where you got the finned primary and cam covers from or made, hope you will let me know cheers ....john

Very beautiful build. I happened to just see your video by chance today. In fact, 3 years back I had the exact same look and design in my mind and I started out on a rubber mount EFI 2011 Iron 883 donor to build a softail but it turned out a total disaster. After several attempts and cracked frames I gave up. I gather now that its easier to covert the earlier version non-rubber mount/non-EFI sportsters (I believe there also used to be a company that made softail frames for sportsters) Anyways, great job. Can I ask what brand exhaust is on your bike

[@MrHotrod460]

Hi yea frame are about for solid mount, and it's a standard downpipes with the balance pipe removed a turnout silencers from ebay

[@nicolakiss]

more info about the frame pls?

[@thomasdanet3883]

Sweet!!! How does it compare to the Roadstar bobber in term of feeling / performance?

[@MrHotrod460]

its a lot lighter so much easier to handle but lacks the massive low down torque the roadstar had, ive lowered the gearing to gain some more low end torque and getting used to it now

[@joewood7225]

What kind of pipes you runnin sir ?

[@MrHotrod460]

standard down pipes with crossover removed, and 19inch turnouts from ebay

[@joewood7225]

How did you 'plug' the holes left by the crossover ?

[@MrHotrod460]

just used a piece of the crossover pipe and welded it over the hole

[@joewood7225]

Thankyou 'Mr.Hotrod " !

[@blainhawkins7648]

21 inch front wheel

[@MrHotrod460]

No 19 but looking for a 21 for a 1999

[@patriotbiker2594]

How’s it ride?

[@MrHotrod460]

very good, once i changed the seat, two up i just had to adjust damper rate a little, it seems a well designed frame

[@patriotbiker2594]

MrHotrod460 that’s awesome. Someone needs to make a weld on kit.

[@MrHotrod460]

Well now , thats a good idea !!!
