Building Australia's best custom Harley Davidson 48

Col "you don't do drugs anymore do ya"? ......"well cause it sounds like the way you're designing it you may have had too many before you got here" .......OMG I'm crying, the way you play straight man to his dry humour is bloody gold!!!

Forget your 100k, to go from a sportster 48 to 49 is a stage eleven-teenth upgrade and will be an even mil. I'm just glad you are stimulating the economy especially at everyone's favorite HD shop!!

Do you need to take notes? "No, I'm not even paying attention" 😂😂

I bloody love Col. He's as dry as they come.

Poor Col, he must have the patience of a saint haha. Can't wait to see it done.👍😎

💜💜💜💜 this! The video where you surprised her with the bike was how I found your vlog! I see great things coming!

Never Ever get rid of Col.

Enjoy customising your bike.... Always enjoy your content.... Looking forward to the progress of the bike

looking forward to this . Thanks for getting back Danny.

The line when Colin said he missed you like the cancer he used to have, had me laughing my ass off....good to see him giving you a hard time again......lol.

Those 48's are lovely little bikes, would love to get one to customise. Can't wait to see how this works out.

Man have I missed you in my life .. great to have you back Daniel

If you're going to go with a rigid frame, different wheels, springer front end and a heap of other stuff, you're better off selling the 48 and putting that money towards the project bike. To be honest it's kinda pointless (and expensive) using a complete bike as spare parts for something totally different. Harley make a sportster roadster that you can modify with a genuine HD factory cafe' racer kit.

building a custom is always cool thing. good luck and I will be watching of course

Great to see you back Daniel....can’t wait to follow the new build......

Looking forward to this series again. You and col have good banter makes it much more enjoyable.

I love watching u guys interact. This is why I keep coming back. So good lol. Funny and good watch

Great to see you back man. I have been missing your videos. You have the only channel that I religiously watch every video. Great content.

Daniel ,you and Col are helarious. Two good guys.

"a meal for two with a terrible view." Col is definitely a national treasure.

Been feeling pretty down what with lock down worrying about family and friends and not being able to ride this video with you and Col has made me laugh out loud for the first time in a while thanks so much for truly giving me a lift at a shit time

You crack me up Danny ....... keep it up, cheering up a Pom in the UK 🏍💨

Cole is the man. I want a friggin Geelong Harley Davidson T shirt.

Got to love Col awesome they way you two bounce off each other, great vlog Danny cant wait for the the next episode.

Great vlog right off the bat! Shouldn’t tolerate anything negative from anyone about anybody. We all need to learn to love each other a little more in this life, no matter the circumstances.

Col is a legend. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Always great service at that shop. Cole and you should do a trip together. It be a hoot

Looking forward to the build Danny 😃👍

So happy to see you making videos again Daniel. I see why you want to keep hanging around GeeLong H-D because Col is effin hilarious

Col is a legend !! 😂😂 ... Danny is like the kid just home from school who's trying to download his day and Col is the hard drive! 👌🏻👌🏻🤣🤣... I can't wait for the series.. glad you're back Danny ..

Awesome mate really look forward to watching the progress.

I'm excited to see what you guys come up with

Looks good already. Can't wait to see what you do to it. Hooah. Was thinking of one myself. My wife is considering riding with me not just behind.

I just got me a 2016 Dyna Street Bob. Picking up this Saturday. Super excited. Have a 883 and street bob now. Looking to modding the 883 now

Hi Danny, this morning we lost our dog, he s gone. Thanks for the good energy. Rigid frame approved. A must is to put a supercharger to make it really the best 49. LOOKS AND ENGINE SHOULD GO IN PAIR. keep it up Max

Col.... straight off a great one liner...

You are a breath of fragrance my man. Lifts my spirits watching your lucky face. So many trying for one harley in their lifetime and my man has two of em to show off

Danny, dont hard tail that Sportster. If you want a rigid frame bike sell the sporty and build a bike with a big twin motor. Otherwise just make a nice bobber or cafe racer with the Sportster, its up to you bro, just my 02 after building bikes for many years. Trust Col, he knows whats best. Good Luck!

We need Col and GHD back again....I’m re watching them all again. Funny AF!!

Can’t wait to see the final product!!! 🏍

You can see Col`s thinking "Why do you want to fuck up whats already a great looking 48"

I’ve watched a few of your videos, and have liked them, but for what ever reason have never subbed, but this vid has made me subscribe, mainly because I want to see more of Col. What a character. 👍👍

Mate, got the bike back! Feel ya though seeing it again.. but its goota be awesome! Thank you for taking us along with ya bud 😎😍

You're a good man we all look up to and an inspiration for all men who has depression, if it weren't for you i would have necked myself 12 months ago.

Looking forward to this build!!!!!

I love it! How exciting! Looking forward to following the new series! Thanks Danny!

Onto the next adventure, go get em Danny. Seeing you & Col at it again is epic! Thanks for putting a smile on our faces Mate! Stay healthy and keep em coming, Cheers!

Welcome aboard Daniel.. welcome brother ... good to see u mate

Awesome can't wait to follow the build

I stopped it half way through so I could subscribe, pure Aussie Gold. If this is episode 1 sign me up for the season, can't wait to see more of this. 😂😂🇦🇺

This 48 as is is the best looking 48 I ever seen 🥰 Dream bike 🙏 Love your content ! Cheers from Portugal 😀🇵🇹

Im just here to watch Colin, Cole makes me happy, He seems like such a cool dude, I just want to hang out at the shop with Colin.

an awesome classic bike !! can't wait to see what your going to do next

Go for it Danny you will get so much pride once finished I've built a couple over the years you will learn so much. It will be a cool bike when finished. All The Best from NZ

The legend is back ,great to Colin back to,looking forward to the journey off the 49.👍👍👍.

I reckon the 48 looks sweet how it is. 🤘

Air ride suspension with some great big solid saddle bags that swoop down and when you have it sacked on the ground with the air ride its flush with the ground

I’m looking forward to seeing more of Col and the lads. I’m not a HD bloke but I understand passion 👍🏻

I’ve never been to Australia but I’d wager Col is the coolest cat on the island.

I'm all in on this! Tell col to get a shifty on so we can have some regular updates to keep us going in lockdown!

Great to see all the boys playing again, just one missing in Tazzie - Cheers Danny.

This is going to be a fun series to watch

So glad you are transplanting into a new frame, because you are beyond the man that you were when this bike first entered your life. This bike needs a new soul, not a dress-up. A new frame is ambitious, but since when have you done things by half? On the other hand, your arse is gonna hate you and you've gotta ride the thing. If anyone can make a kick-arse 48 bobber, it's you and Col. Love your choice, it's the only way to live and it's what this bike represents. Can't lose either way. And when Col said "..have I failed?", I laughed my arse off. Bloody love Col, a man like that can steward that 48 into being truly the transformative bike for the transformative man. You are a bloody legend and a good man Danny.

If you want to save some cash get a bolt on bar to replace the shocks and check out Blockhead's 48 build. You keep the 48 frame and put a springer seat on it, and change out the front fork with an aftermarket springer fork. My dream 48!

Great video as always can’t wait to see the progress

Love your vids mate, keep them rolling , ride safe , Stuart from the UK 😎 👍

This is going to be cool.. AND funny (as always). Looking forward to watching the build. Thanks Daniel..

Col is a unit warped sense of humor and dry as a chip but honest and straight forward

Man I love your relationships with Cole you too are awsome 👍👍 hope your keeping good man 👍👍

Col is a legend. I think if your going to make it a rigid frame there is no point using the 48 sportster at all . So either make an awsome bike of the 48 or make and awsome rigid frame chopper with a different motor. But there is alot of cool rigid frame choppers out there so it will have to be bloody good to be the best. 🤣

Col's honesty is fantastic

wow ! Danny this is sooo cool. I am with ya on this bro.

little wierd catching up on you're vids, seing you get bike for her, now break up different things happening. thats just life. glad to see you are rolling with the punches :)

It’s cool the way it is.... save yr money

My opinion is.... don't you dare touch the bike. It's a great looking 48. OMG. Col is awesome wish i lived in Melbourne.

Love the banter between you and Col, has me in stitches 🤣. Can't wait for this series Danny, good luck!

Awsome Danny good luck on the new bike

Good to see ya back Danny!

“A meal for 2 with a terrible view’ - love it!

'Col, did you miss me?' 'Yeah, like i miss having cancer' Quality. I love your vids Danny. Such pathos.

Good stuff , looking forward to seeing this bike build. If you can get along with your ex it’s a good thing. Cheers

Looking forward to these vlogs, should be good haha 👌👍😎

Hi Danny best of luck on your new build. Looking forward to it. Take care mate 👍

That bike looks awesome already Dan

Great vid! Just turned 60. Getting back into bikes. After watching your vids, I bought my first Harley, a RK Classic. Love it!. I’ve been looking for a bike to chop, for around town. Softail Slim looks like a ridged, but has suspension or a 2009ish Fat Bob. I like the big bikes with the big tank. Bronze would be very cool. I’m considering bronze wheels for my Hemi Challenger 1320. Good luck. I’ll be following from Annapolis. MD.🇺🇸🇨🇦

Great to see you back Danny, it only seems like yesterday when you were pushing and pulling the bike into your kitchen, can't wait to see the end result of this, it's going to look fantastic 👍👍

"Bout time mate... Love ya channel Daniel and I look forward to the conversations with Col...poor bugger.

“Let’s call it a 69. It’s a meal for two with a terrible view” 😂🤣

Nice one, can't wait to see the final product. I like your 48 at the moment with the ape hangers looks really good mate.

Excellent. Will be following these vids👍

It's great that you can work with the ex, honestly I like the 48 as it is

These guys have the best sense of humour! What will 2 grand get me?? “A good detail!” Lol! Did you miss me?? “Yeah... but I had cancer once and I miss that too... it’s kinda like that” 😂😂😂😂 These guys gotta get on TV!

Keep the 48 as is, because it’s a nice bike! And build your Hardtail custom chopper from scratch.

This is going to be awesome. Danny you are the meaning of legend 👍

Here we go.......poor Colin. Hopefully your going to learn all about motorcycles Danny. Looking forward to the finished product.👍🇦🇺

Honestly I think making it into a scrambler would suit your riding style better. It would still be way cool.

Great to see you back mucker, hope all you Aussies are getting through Covid 19 ok, we are having a right rough time of it in the UK at the moment but the blogs are a nice break from this crap. The mental health side of being on lockdown is going to be horrendous here and I just hope people reach out and keep talking to each other to get through this. Anyway welcome back mate

Col's a legend;-)) truly know's his Harley's..this is going to be an awesome build, good luck with it Danny;-)) Here's to the "49er".

Good to see you again!
