Its refreshing to see a youtube bike builder with some real fabrication skills, nice work man!

I like you videos and enjoy them. You explain the details precisely, so it helps to understand you ideas behind the actions. Very well done! Thank you!

I'm glad you decided that. The geometry of the shock angle was too extreme to function in a useable manner. It's all a learning game . Power to you for playing and showing everyone anything goes when it comes to custom bikes.

Посмотрев этот ролик , начал исправлять свои недочеты в раме мотоцикла Урал ) большое спасибо. Watching this movie , began to correct their shortcomings in a frame of Ural motorcycle ) thank you very much.

Awesome watching a bike get cut apart and put back together great idea putting the bar stock inside the frame to strengthen it a lot of guys don’t do that

Damn Brother. You're on to the next one. You've got mad skills.

I just love how you can see this stuff in your head and just cut bend and add here and there. I would freak myself out. Awesome man

Your builds are top notch! I like how thorough and attention to detail all bikes you have built. All truly one of a kind. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge with us. Cheers brother

Unfortunately I agree... the location of the shock is terrible... on the Indian Scout the shock is still mid way up the swing arm.. but the Scout is actually a terrible design too! Glad you went hardtail in the end. The shock setup you were planning would've behaved like a hardtail anyway

Good tools makes the job so much easier!

Hey man, I didn't think that would work. The shock angle was too drastic for the spring. You could keep the look and still have some bounce if you use a leaf spring from like a small boat trailer. Just saying I like the hard tail but I'm like over 50 now and built more for comfort. Thanks for all the videos.

I was lucky enough to grow up riding bikes with my dad as a kid. Probably slept more miles on a bike than most have ridden their whole life. I love your videos. It's really awesome to show the creative process of design and fabrication and if it's not what you want you scrap it and start over. A lot of people talk shit about what your doing or how your doing it...it's your shit do it how you want to do it. ..kudos to you for building bikes with two wheels and not just a brand...you seem like a cool dude that i would like to hang out with and get my hands dirty.... when it comes to custom your building it for yourself and your vision...I think you have a good eye for awesome bikes...I would ride the shit outta them... keep up the good work...ignore the critical ass hats that try to tear you down...My Hats off to you sir for sharing your experience. My only piece of advice would be to take on bigger challenges...do a complete build...start with a frame and show these people what an artist you truly are...some people paint, some sing songs...you build machines...just awesome...best part is riding what you built.

freaking awesome idea, i like the way you think, and how everything comes out

I was so disappointed at the beginning bc I was hoping for a hardtail....and then... boom!!! Hardtail reveal at the end!! Super stoked to see that video!! 🤟🏻

Coming along nicely MP. Keep up the great work

I was lookin forward to a nice chopped swing arm build. Id would have been different then every other bobber iv seen at sturgis.

Heck yeah HardTail all the way dude. Thanks for the video! Cheerz!

A joy to watch your work !!! I never owned a bike but the interest has always been there and your bike builds are Awsome.😎

Amazing it was a real step by step 👏🏼

Such a cool build series!

It was a good concept though. I can see why you scrapped the softtail for the hardtail option. Nice job though, I was liking the original idea. I guess for it to be structurally sound you might have to build a full suspension from scratch. Hardtail is much more structurally sound and alot less work. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.

Good call on tossing the shocks!

que perfecta evolución. felicidades! ya quiero hacer lo mismo

80's Honda's rock! pentagram wheels inline 4 good bikes!

good job bro .. to inspire beginner modificator

The shocks physically will not work in this position so I'd say the hard tail is a must. Good luck with the build...

Love the videos...glad I subscribed during your last bobber build...

Looking good

Chop chop!! Sclice and dice! Tack it weld it ...make strong! Braaap!

I LOVE your vídeos man!

Very cool idea. It's hard to put in the time then have to abandon the idea. Safety first though. I watched the whole video and was getting very excited to see the result as I have a 82 magna torn down, deciding to keep the shocks or not. I am also trying to find a way to incorporate the springs whilst keeping the slope of the frame to go downward. My thought to fix the hard angle on the shock is to bring the bottom part the shock more forward on the swingarm making the shock more vertical.? Anyways this content is inspirational to me, thank you for sharing. Subscribed!

Nice job man!!!!!!! amazing

nice build man !!! was wondering where you got those bars

u will support the vertical going rod right that will be taking all the stress ? .. dunno how else to explain it :D

Awesome vids and builds,!never mind the haters,RideOn

The shock set is too decline 😂 it becomes bouncy when youn ride lol Declines shocks are design for bmw r90 .. applying that concept might cause you harder shocks to be installed..

as always great to see, do you do it alone without a team?

By definition, if you modify the frame, you have a chopper, not a bobber. A bobber is bobbed, a chopper is chopped, simple no?

From a subs perspective; I subbed to your channel a year ago because of your Aprilia (Sportbikes). Now you're doing bobbers. No offense to the bobber crowd, but any plans on doing a Sportbike build?

Looking good so far. To bad you had to go hard tail. Was the angle on the shocks to much?

You don't use the glove.?

Eso se lo haces a una moto en españa y el mismo de la ITV de da la mano y te acompaña a que tires al desguace la moto

Just curious why the shocks wouldnt work? I love the concept of having the shocks in line with the frame. I was thinking of doing something similiar to this idea on my Vulcan build. As I have a bad back. Was it just to much angle on the shocks to work correctly?

Oh well looks cool 😎

5:37 use protection please and take care(использование болгарки без защиты не безопасно, сколько раз я видел как летали отрезные круги...)

Very nice 👌

good job. i did the same thing you did 2 weeks ago and I ordered a voodoo hard tail yesterday lol. where was that tank from again

Dumb question, but what do you use to mock it up graphically? --& while I'm at it, what do you use to film/edit-? Just curious.

Frame fucked shocks wont work on that angle

หนวดใต้คาง กวนจริงๆ

hmmmm And here I thought Butchers worked with meat. who knew??

чувак!9:10 нельзя металл перегревать свыше 400 градусов, свойства меняются, мог использовать трубогиб и загнуть всё по шаблону(без нагрева)...

Wait a sec, a bobber with rear shocks?

Burly shocks are cheap....Progressive 430 lower my Harley 3 inches and is a hell of a better shock

I love when these guys think their so smart and don't know what a bobber is.

i want to comment but im speechless

what if....you used forks...for shocks for the rear.....

Rallonger la fourche arrière

Your rear shock new angle is totally dysfunctional,not going to work.I hope the rest is better than that or you are in trouble.Sundquist Norton you tube.

All that work and you’re going hardtail now 😭

Is it me but it seems like he has no clue how to use these tools (some one get him a reciprocal saw)

Flip that grinder over and you won’t eat as many sparks, sparky. Or not idc. And Btw that won’t work.

I didn't know Steve Vai was into motorcycles

Mal, mal, mal.

Don't buy Levi no more they are against our second amendment so don't by levi

From harley to honda ? You just lost me lmao !
