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!

[@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

[@chopperjohn9977]

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

[@seccopunx3495]

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

[@JamesRussle365]

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

[@MrSimulatedsanity]

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

[@JuanVargas-uy3cu]

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

[@roadsterman]

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

[@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 .

[@dcbgny7963]

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

[@MrPauleerose]

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

[@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.

[@thedadrider4569]

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

[@workbetternow]

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

[@arturogonzalessr.6248]

Good instructions , job well done 😳

[@jimmyturbeville8753]

job well done young man enjoy the ride

[@garyballard723]

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

[@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.

[@mysporty7149]

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

[@BackAlleyCycles]

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

[@juanmendez3236]

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

[@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.

[@choppularmechanics]

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

[@Leo30584]

VERY NICE WORK, DUDE !! GREATINGS FROM BRAZIL

[@Paradiselost2802]

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

[@eatgreenveggies]

Stoked to see this guild. 🤙🏽

[@matts.1758]

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

[@timmyb2507]

Thanks man. Amazing work like always.

[@coreyreeb]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@harleyriderny69]

Awesome video as always. 👍

[@barb8855]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the progress

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@joetheman357]

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

[@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.

[@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 !

[@j.bowens9189]

great job man, what is your welder set up?

[@jordansparkman9430]

Awesome man! Loving this build already!

[@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!

[@Liveharley1]

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

[@chago_8836]

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

[@ervinbrion7343]

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

[@odombrosnorsereview5675]

That’s going to be sick

[@fahrezafiqi708]

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

[@melindaortiz9741]

💯👍

[@melindaortiz9741]

U will

[@GiancarloFloyd]

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

[@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

[@Petermakes]

Beautiful work Son!

[@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

[@AJKammerer]

Looks so sick!

[@ronniecurnutt4309]

Pretty sweet and you made it look easy , Bravo

[@RogerJG21]

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

[@Dave-1277]

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

[@TaterGrabbinBass]

It’s coming along nicely!

[@4MATAStudio]

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

[@vincentvelazquez6001]

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

[@pinehillprimitives1]

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

[@lwsfr976]

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

[@johnthurmanmerman]

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

[@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.

[@Ridesnratchets]

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

[@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!

[@daleedwards8186]

Would love to see how you wired this unit

[@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?

[@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

[@codykeyes5704]

Gonna be badass. Really enjoy your videos

[@siamdarkweldertigwelding5874]

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

[@arthurleino]

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

[@roberthatfield1369]

Great work bro. I'm a fan!

[@ninja63639]

What size front wheel and tire is that. Looks good

[@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

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 👍

[@ceec6923]

Nice work dude Keep the awesome videos coming

[@astianplummer6234]

Hey whats up I followed the same steps tho my frame moved slightly about 1/8 in do you think thats a huge deal? Would have to recut ect. To square up

[@paulsilson2148]

Very talented young man

[@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

[@lennycruz4558]

Is that a 3/4 or 1/2 pipe you're using as frame?

[@erikneumann5812]

Why didn’t you paint the frame after welding it? Just curious, looks great!

[@LNSPLTBLVD]

Still gotta weld on the fender brackets, sissy bar brackets and etc. Frame is gonna get powder coat when I’m done with welding

[@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.

[@rolledbrim2326]

Killer content! Thanks for sharing

[@cathallaverty1599]

Hey I know it's a lil off subject but how far down did you cut on the Honda shadows frame to hard tail it want to do that to mine thanks man

[@LNSPLTBLVD]

There’s a video of how I did mine. Go search it up

Where do you get your weld on hardtail? And what bike do you recommend for a first time builder? I'm an experienced fabricator, mechanically inclined and a journeymen welder. Just looking for somwhere to start

[@michaelbenna1089]

What wire mig did you run? What heat settings?

[@chopsimpson6844]

What setting did you use on the welder wire speed and voltage I have a Hobart handler 210 with gas. Thanks for your time

@@chopsimpson6844 it depends on the thickness of the metal. Also every machine is different

What wheel size you got om there ? Is the front also 16 ?

What are those wheels and tires if you don’t mind me asking?

Can I weld this with a 110 flux core welder? Will it hold?

This is good man!
