CHOLO SOFTAIL DELUXE - PARTS/DETAILS FOR BUILD 

Thank you, I was amazed how little info there was for cholo parts/builds. Much more to come, and this is where its going to start to get beyond a basic bolt-on cholo. Thanks for watching the channel.

Thanks bro, good luck. If you can swing it, try and get a newer model with a Milwaukee 8. There's way more engine capability and potential for big power

Thanks, glad to hear it helped. Congrats on the upcoming purchase. I'm going to do another film as an update to the parts. I feel like I doubled the amount of parts since I made this film

How tall are you...I like your apes and want to purchase the correct size

You should watch a more recent video on this bike, it's completely different.

Thanks man, good luck with the build. Hope the info helps

Thanks bro, sounds like a good start. Crash bars can definitely give the bike a nice look, it helps widen the front a bit and it gives a option for highway pegs as well.

That root beer colour is pretty rare I believe. My father in law has one that colour too.

Thank you, but check out the newer films. I did a ton of upgrades since this video

Yeah the exhaust leaks are a pain. Try using permetex exhaust sealant and tighten those clamps harder than you think they should be.

J.E.T. FILM will do! Thanks for all the info and help. Sexy bike bro.

Well I'll have another film coming out possibly tomorrow or Monday. Been working in this one for almost 3 months

Oh man thats awesome, thank you.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm trying to head that direction. Ugh, not easy as a lone wolf

I'm glad it was helpful

VERY helpful. Fantastic production value on this BTW. Nice intro, editing, photography, etc. A pleasure to watch and listen to.

Where did u buy the rest fender how much was that. Ive been lokinng every where thnx dude

The new fender? It's a Pickard USA fender, and it was about $450, unpainted. The front fender was a little cheaper

Nice man, hopefully you can use some of the pre-existing mods for your build. Tons of options for deluxes. My advice, get the parts you really want the first time, it'll save you time and money later on. I spent thousands re-doing mods I wasn't 100% happy with

@@JETFILMCHANNEL that is hopefully the plan, buy once and enjoy for a long time.

Exactly

Thank you

Good luck with the build, hope the video helped you get some ideas. Some of these parts should fit, but not all of them. Just be careful to look at years when ordering parts

Thanks man, the Road Kings look awesome all cholo'd out. Good luck with the build!

J.E.T. FILM thanks mate ride safe

Agreed, definitely a great into. Question about the music... is this your personal music or from another artist? Do you monetize your videos?

Most of the music I use is from other artists. I've used some of my own, but not often. My channel is monetized, but not every film I release is eligible due to the music

@@JETFILMCHANNEL The music in your videos is 💯. It’s been difficult to find the music I want to use in my videos. Lookin for better music options without encountering any copyright claims.

Thanks, I spend a tremendous amount of time searching for music for these films, most of it is eq'd and edited/looped/spliced to fit the film. That makes a huge difference to the "watchable-ness" of a film. Copyrights are really tough to get around, the software has gotten really sophisticated. My best advice to avoid copyrights without using royalty free music is to do deep searches for music of upcoming bands or underground artists that aren't mainstream. There's tons of content out there, but it takes time to find it.

@@JETFILMCHANNEL yeah I missed out on over $2k on one of my videos. Costly mistakes that’ll only happen once. Keep up the good work. 👍🏽

Nah, don't regret it for a second. The Road Kings are awesome bikes with serious Cholo potential, maybe even more potential than a Deluxe (it's debatable). Besides, building the bike up is half the fun. Tons of parts available too for the King because touring bikes are part-makers bread and butter.

We have a very similar attention to detail and quality vs quantity. I know you’re running carlinis but check out Factory 47 viclas.

@@drob449 Last week I bought a second bike to cholo out. I just purchase the Vicla bars 18". Plus it already had true dual headers so I bought the 39" slip on fishtails too.

Thanks bro, I appreciate the support

Haha, I had a tool song in my latest film but it got flagged for copyright so I had to replace it. But I'll keep trying in the future

@@JETFILMCHANNEL "it's not enough, I need more nothing seems to satisfy" 🤣🤟 hell yeah dude! The build is awesome love the content!!!

Thank you. Starting early April I'll have more films coming out

@@JETFILMCHANNEL great. Notifications activated.

Sameeeeeeeeeee

Thank you, you wouldn't believe it but I spend a tremendous amount of time picking out the music for these films. Sometimes up to 10 hrs per film just weeding through different music, to get the mood im trying to set, just right.

@@JETFILMCHANNEL couldn't be better, i love the way you picked up the Cholo style , its very appreciated for someone to pick up part of our culture and apply Perfection to it that you did, thts a culture I grew up in, growing up as a cholo in Northern California in 70s-80s early teens we made lowrider bikes with long sissy bars we'd bend them at a 90° angle where they would stick out like long tailpipes, as we got older we apply the same style to our cars Lowrider cars, being a cholo was being brave to be different we that lived it it was our normal . The way you made your bike shows that we did something right lol;), I also have a few videos on RU-vid on my 2015 Road Glide slammed on 39 in Samson myself I'm planning on taking out the baffles I'm at that interesting topic right now, i would lov to produce videos the way you do someday i will, I want to make videos of every angle when I go on up and down winding roads where my pipes are scraped and sparking while as im hitting the corners hard and pulling out of a corner with thunder sound coming out of my pipes, have a great day Cheers hoMeboy

@@JETFILMCHANNEL what’s the song lists? Dope videos btw. Detailed information appreciate em.

Yeah man, I waited 3 months, it sucked. Worth it though, glad I did it. The sooner you order the better off you'll be, once it gets a little warmer everybody will be placing orders. And order tires too, I know some whitewalls have been hard to find or have had long wait times.

@@JETFILMCHANNEL thank you

@@JETFILMCHANNEL I finally just received my order. I designed just about the same as yours. I also got the rotors like you did but I also ordered the chrome pulley. Everything looks great so far, they are still in the box as I just received them last night. I will say their customer service is the worst I’ve ever dealt with. They don’t respond to anything and it takes much longer than they promise. But that shit is going to look badass once mounted.

I agree 100%

Thank you bro, I love the enthusiasm!

Thank you Joe

I'm in the same boat. I have an 86 heritage classic that I am in the works of getting back to a clean and stylish appearance. I love the cholo style and in time my bike will be close to that.

That's great, you guys are probably in a better position than I am. And I really mean that. My build is so far along, that to change things now would be to spend a fortune. If you guys have a clear vision of what you're going for than you'll only have to buy parts once. Tons of parts available for your years too. The 4 big things are really just wheels, suspension, bars and exhaust. That'll get you in the game, everything else is details and subjective. But doing certain mods together can and will save time and money. Good luck guys, its a fun journey.

Yes

Thanks, got another big one coming out tonight around 7pm. I use Filmora for video editing and FL studio & Audacity to mix most of the sound.

@@JETFILMCHANNEL Thanks for the reply, I have notifications on so I’ll be watching. Oh ya just added you on IG. Keep up the awesome work man. 🤙🏽🔥🔥

Thanks for the support Alex. It might seem odd, but I actually wouldn't get them myself. I just think its a little too much chrome. But if you are looking to clean that "black" area up around the base of the engine, then try using S100, its an aerosol spray that makes the black base of the engine look darker and newer. I use it all the time, especially before going to a big event

Thank you, no it wasn't a official iron butt route, and I didn't submit any gas station receipts. I don't need their approval, I know I did it fair and square and that's all I need.

I found the seat bolts on ebay for just a few bucks, they sell them in black or chrome. I found some chrome bolts to take the place of the bolts from the rack, foumd them in home depot. Very easy

this is all sucide boys hard ash

first 2*

Good point, I felt like the floorboards could have been an exception to the "uniform look" i was talking about as long as they weren't completely radical. I'm happy with the look I chose. Thanks for the question, and thanks for watching the film

Thanks Juan, floorboards scraping will always be a problem for heritages and deluxes. With my setup, I always scrape pipes first. Which means, (theoretically)if you lower the front, the pipes will get a little higher. You might scrape you floorboards a little more, but it comes with the terrortory with these bikes. If you're really concerned with scraping, then I wouldn't lower it at all. Or get air ride and adjust it with the press of a button. Either way, it sounds like you've got a nice setup

@@JETFILMCHANNEL I've put 10,000 miles on my bike since I bought it and I have only scrapped the floorboards three times at stock height. I've decided to drop my bike one inch in the front and one inch in the back, hopefully I won't scrape too much. When you have a chance make more softail videos with your bike, it looks awesome! Thank you for all the info in the videos, it has been very helpful to me.

Look into black bike wheels they’re out of Cali. A tad bit more than DNA. And they back up they’re wheels. I’m going that route cuz ride wright is like 1400 more
