Custom Build Harley Davidson Softail 'Muscle'

[@joncollins-oj8ve]

Some bikes have 'presence' both in the balance of their design and the way they ride. From the beginning of the video I loved the design but the riding section really captured that 'Big Twin' essence, and yeah, I'am sure it was a handful. But surely on a bike like that... that's the point. A really great vid Diamanté... not forgetting one of the most modest geezers on KZbin... Simon. He really has the 'eye'. Without him that amazing bike would not exist.

Thankyou ❤️

[@poulsonarrow]

" MINT " detail, stance, finish, sound, paint, a testament to those visions and technique to one of the best custom bike builders def pinching those lever mods .

[@RayGreen94510]

Deimante you are always the absolute best to spend time with on interviews. You are very informative and very considerate with your interviewees 🤗🥰

[@jeffmckinney4143]

You where stoked to be road testing that Harley I bet.❤

[@tomboyabit]

Absofuckinglutely

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

The Thing is,, He is Right on all the changes, good taste is priceless, you can't get a bike that good without is. 😊

[@daveco1270]

That's a good looking bike. A nice blend of retro old school and modern. I agree with Simon on the back tire... it's a bit too wide.

[@hughmac7423]

The ride sounded and looked fantastic with the new gear.

[@chadr9791]

That was exhalent Dee, lovely bike ,lots of great hidden details . Your camera gear is perfect and sound quality was really very good .

[@millinutz]

I love it..., the lines and curves on it, are pure genius, and a credit to Mint Customs/Simon. Friggin fantastic!

[@Mytriumph650pre-unit]

Awesome build with perfect lines, bravo.

[@melgagnon9848]

Beautiful custom build , that is one " Muscled " out looking ride !

[@charlesemerson6763]

Nice one Dia. Adam certainly built a one off with that one. Coolest Harley I've seen.

[@markdawson5215]

Truly an artist. An artist who understands lines and proportions and function. And color. (And humour.)

[@markdawson5215]

Sounded great (road test portion and the pipes in general), so well done on that.

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

Thankyou Mark 😊

[@irvan36mm]

19:22-22:47 That sound!👍🏻

[@uutwo]

Gotta say, I haven't seen any bike with that kind of tail, and it LOOKS AWESOME!!!🤩🤩 especially how the seat curves around. I definitely need to search for something similar here

[@leswatson8563]

Hi Tomboy. Last year i got talking to a custom Harley owner with a fat tire on the rear wheel. He said hes used to ut now when it tends to climb the ridged tarmac at slow speeds. But its the fishtailing the rear does in the wet that gets his heart pounding. That said what eye candy that custom job was 🤘. Another very enjoyable vid and be seeing you in the next one 👍😊...

[@javo1299]

Harley debiese contratar a gente así para diseñar sus motos, porque la fábrica cada día las hace más feas y la que se muestra en el video es una belleza. Harley ha involucionado en lugar de evolucionar y adaptarse a los nuevos tiempos.

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

I agree 👍 💯

[@philippeburgun2377]

Beautiful bike, and it sounds absolutely fantastic!

[@benodie02760]

Great presentation! Loved the engine sound too!

[@EV4RY]

Deffo in my top 3 of your builds, proper "Muscle", love it!

[@plandovanje]

It looks very good but the sound is simply addictive 🖤

[@shadyvito]

Another Mint build that I fell in love with! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@fernandofontourabarbosa4327]

This bike is a work of art... sensational! 👏👏👏👏👏 🇧🇷🙋‍♂️

[@vernerjuliussen2071]

Coincidence with the "hart shaped" light shining in the back around 18min? 🤔 Either way daaaaamn, the exhaust sound when rolled of the gass!!🤩🔥 Looks and sound's big. 😎 Nice video.

[@per-arnehjorth9785]

Lovely sound, and biscuits! 😁

[@Daehawk]

Thumbnail....Saw the hair, saw the body ...could already hear that accent. Ready to ride....Beautiful bike for sure. Not sure how comfortable a bike with no rear suspension can be. Looks rough on the hips and back. Typing more as I watch. No rear fender worries me with water on the back or road debris hitting you. Thats the thing with bikes...theres no left hand drive right hand drive for the most part..you just hop on and go....and hope your brain keeps you on the correct side of the road. Be safe out there Deimante ❤🖤 ..oh the sound. I did notice that and finding out you did it on purpose is nice. I thought it sounded great. Loved hearing the bike's heartbeat. Lol he is crazy. 😀 PS your hair is still amazing and defies being biker hair.Extraordinary.

[@edmilkovitz297]

Proper looking build, sounds great. Great job

[@tomscustomshop]

Nice looking bike, as expected!! Simons right, I was interested in that one 🤣 just don’t get the time to make the pipes like I used too. Maybe some more in the future. I like the black through the tank rather than all orange 🍊👍🏻

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

you d man Tom xxx

[@shenpensenge]

Amazing looking bike

[@frankflstf]

Such a solid Badass bike my compliments

[@gregorymcnear6474]

Sweet bike!

[@Mytriumph650pre-unit]

A 200 series tire would be perfect.

[@Triple6customs]

Awesome video again

[@Jagher233]

your mic is way better here i noticed before when it was on your collar touching your neck a few videos before that the sound was boomy, maybe conducting from your voicebox, anyway great video and what a stunning bike ✊

[@JoeRusso-yr6ey]

Amazing build. Bike is perfect. what size is the rear tire? I like it.

[@crewgadjy]

Not quite to my taste but a lovely clean build.

[@mrsmith4662]

Very stylish.

[@leerichardson3904]

Great looking bike 👍👍. Would anyone know the soundtrack at 18mins? The million dollar brogan uses the same one…

[@danteogilery7948]

Lovely 🖤

[@MrAndrew1953]

In Australia 🇦🇺 you couldn’t register the bike,ride it on the road without gear like indicators or a speedo. Otherwise you’d just have to put it on a trailer and take it to custom bike show.

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

Yeah my son now lives on the Goldcoast he says the custom scene is a bit shit down there unless it's a vintage chop

[@JeremyHollier]

Great stuff D

[@user-ww2pw2zi7l]

Nice

[@mptorecon]

Wow you built a Breakout.

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

😂😂😂😂...... wow you know your Harleys don't you? Just missing the correct engine frame wheels forks tank bars injection system, if only it had all that it could almost be a breakout 😂😂😂😂

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

Good Vibrations 😎

[@jeffmckinney4143]

Some fuel shutoff are so pricey for whatthey are

[@TheAngalome]

the exhaust looks like it may be warm on the leg?...

[@tomboyabit]

No, I couldn’t feel it at all.

[@bil19631963]

No mirrors, no speedometer🎉

camera was good, I could see the bike bouncing and moving around but our vision was not

Did I miss where the speedo is situated? I thought all vehicles had to have one to be road legal.

[@tomboyabit]

@@delboy1727 No speedo. Legally is not required.

[@delboy1727]

@@tomboyabit Interesting - I didn't know that.

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

Does it not require mileage clock though?

Not my style, not for me. Clean assembly other than that.

[@carlrice8614]

The camera is ridiculously too far away as they stand behind the motorcycle outside. You cant see their mouths moving or any details on the bike. Wore me out waiting to get close enough to see more than outlines.

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

Zoom in........ 🤦‍♂️

[@Fatboys-Unlimited]

There are many reasons why you have complaints about the bikes handling ability. But that’s what happens when you take a bike that was designed to ride a certain way and then turn it into a fatboy. A modern fatboy isn’t for a lightweight rider or, a small bottomed rider. Here’s why, fat tires demand command . You have to push the bike into the turns with your hips. If you look at the tires on my fatboy, the Aussie strike is barely and inch wide. Because I use the whole tire, and thus the whole bike. But I am a pretty strong dude. I have the bike structure to command this bike. I have also optimized its set up so that it is actually quite nimble. Over there you guys set up your fatboy and breakouts in the absolute worsts ways to be handled. Don’t know why , don’t care but they do go for looks is for sure. It’s almost like you’re trying to take a bike that was built to cruise ? And turn it into a triumph or cafe racer 🤷‍♂️ these bikes are engineered to tailor to different body styles , and rider styles in the cruising genre I have seen some beautiful bikes from oversees but, riding practicality was very minimal. I mean your really missing out on how these bikes were built to feel, because your not looking how they look with those parts on them. So it’s hard to actually capture the heritage within these bikes when you build the all to look and ride the same way. And that’s just it with the European styles Harley, they are all built to look and perform the same. That particular bike even sounds like it’s been tuned to sound like a triumph. 🤷‍♂️ if you’re not laid back while rolling on ? Then it’s hard to understand how to build these bikes the way they should be built. An “a” for effort. The higher up you bring your hands on a fat tire bike the better the handling will be . And the bars have to be in line with the rake. Drag bars are the worst bars for a Harley , the worst . It is a very nice bike, just …. Sigh…..lol

[@MINTCUSTOM5]

Not sure what you're saying here I'm afraid...... very long comment though.....

Hello from France ( as Always...!!) hey, You're so cute, both ! ,I very please to find you again, Simon, .. it's been a while !! and I'm glad you were able to decide Deimante to get interested again for the V-Twin lol 😉😁 I just get one word : WHAOUUUUUUU !!!! ( I fell out of my chair !) What did you put in your Tea, before you do the session of " thinking chair" ?!? If I come to "Mint", for Christmas, could you create a second for me ?! ( at a good price, for sure) Anyway, it's a brilliant achievement, absolutely brilliant !! Have a nice day, both ( without forget a caress for Pickle ! 🐕‍🦺 John-christopher
