Dre's 2002 Frisco Sportster Chopper 

Love the story of how he named the bike Mary Lou after his late grandmother. The sentimental bond you build with your bike, and relationships you make from the process of building and riding it are what make the chopper community so attractive.

1st 5 mins...Dre knows what likes, had a vision, and articulates it well and pushed until it became real. In a month! Much respect to the man and this incredible bike. 👊🙌

Very honest guy.. humble telling the story and revealing his limitations but also his passion. Dre is cool.

Dre's Sporty is everything that a frisco-styed chopper should be -- compact for good handling, a six-over fork (perfect), no rake, and a decent front brake. The "T" bars are great for good handling in fast-moving situations. Those Moon finned ignition and clutch cover a nice touch. I've always dug a NorCal (frisco) styled bike. Max Schaaf's orange knuckle engine in a drop seat Duo Glide frame is bruisin'. So is Dre's Sporty. Once, I built a Pan/Shovel and dedicated it to a pal who was on his '65 Pan chopper when he was killed by a drunk driver. His ideas and mine gelled -- including the color (metallic silver). Love ya, Pete (RIP). God love you, Dre, for naming your bike after your grandmother. May she rest in peace in Christ's kingdom. Ride safe, Dre. Thanks, LNSPLTBLVD!

I love how extensive he got with repairs getting rid of every gremlin, love that he knew what he wanted in the end. Great build, great dude. Love the fact that he named the bike after his late grandmother, rest her soul. Hella good upload fr

Super cool build. Thanks for sharing all the little tips and tricks learned during the process.

Glad I stopped by. The best way town and ride is build it. Well done.

Love this content man. Dont ever stop.

The mic makes such a difference, thanks!

That looks right from every single angle. So that means it's right.

Learned something new! Never knew all the details of Frisco Choppers. Great video

sporsters built the motor company

I love the pride he has for sportsters. I have an 883 sportster, slowly putting it together rigid swing arm, but eventually I will chop it. Honestly I think i could ride a sportster forever. There arent enough people who understand the sportster like he does, and have that pride, I feel like.

🤙🤙best way to end the day! Thx for the vid!

Hell yeah, love frisco style bikes!

It’s always great seeing guys actually ride their builds.

Love the bike. it scratches all the itches man. let us take a second to recognize that Bitchin S30 in the backround.

That is beautiful! I loved hearing how the bike fits into the SF landscape...very interesting!

Excellent video, great bike. This guy has heart. The real deal. Thank you.

Cool as hell 👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻😎

This definitely makes me rethink of selling mine. Thank you

Super nice build. Be proud. 👍

Such a killer build! ❤‍🔥

First saw Dre’s bike at the SF show a couple months ago. He was parked by Nicks bike. I then saw him roll into the Stockton show last month and got to talk to him and pick his brain. Love this bike

What a beautiful sound that bike has! Great to hear a true bike build story, no bs just the real shit show that customizing anything with a motor!

Definitely a sweet scoot. Something you should be proud of and as far as the guys hating on Sportys. They’re probably hating as they’re walking. You take care and stay safe brother. My dad always told me while someone is hating on me they’re leaving someone else alone.

Great bike. I've never understood the hating on Sportsters. They're reliable, affordable, infinitely customisable, and sound incredible.

Bike is dope. That Datsun though 😵‍💫

Pound for pound the best bike Harley ever produced, the Sportster.

Lovely basic riding bike, can't beat the reliability of a sportster, very clean 👍

Daaaaamn. You actually made the sporty of my dreams. ❤ mad respect . May you ride long. Keep the rubber on the road and the throttle always cranked. 🤟

Being only able to buy one thing a month was my way too so I fully understand 👍. He came over really well as a nice caring guy. Plus crackin bike. 🇬🇧

Superb gem! ✌🏻

"I like silver and black--and silver and black". LOL! Beautiful bike!

That’s a sweet little scoot. I have built a few of my own and I DO feel you on the little aggravations the build shop shows never tell you. That is what makes it real though. Nice ride!

Mary Lou is one of the coolest Sportsters that I have seen ! Awesome 😎

man such a beautiful bike. love what the homie did with his sportster and hope i catch him out on a ride sometime. rock on bro.

Yeah Man!...Great beard...Great job you have.....Great sled....Ride safe Boss....

That bike is so nice! Great build!

sikk azz bike and as alwayz sikk azz video. dope content bruh

Awesome build👍

That bike is perfect!👌🏻

Great looking bike. Really well done

The 49ers are legit franchise , some of the best players of all time played for them! Joe Montana and Jerry Rice all American mvps. Great looking bike thats also very practical for San Francisco landscaping.

Two choppers, a 240Z, and a couple of bottles of Jameson's. Nice place to be!

I use Strava. It's a hiking app . . . I came from SF and used to love all the back roads! they have all become the 'burbs. I live in FarNor Cal now. If you love empty, twisty, scenic, mountains and canyons you can ride all day, with the occasional awesome cafe in the middle of nowhere, I recommend highways 3 and 36 to start. So many amazing side roads to connect to from there! Love your bike, man! Hope to see you on the road! ✌😎

Nice looking Sportster!

If you’re running a Dyna-S and the bike runs great all but at idle, it is the flyweights. Bad flyweights unit mimics a ‘vacuum leak’ where at idle the revs stay up for a minute or so before returning down to a normal idle speed. If there are no vacuum leaks, the flyweights are out of tolerance with the pivot pins and or the return springs are fatigued. Replace with a quality made in USA unit like the one American Prime Manufacturing offers. Buy once fry once. I’ve used new Taiwan units straight out of the box that were out of wack and had me chasing my tail about idle issues. I wouldn’t swap that Mikuni for a S&S you’re downgrading with that move.

What a beauty

wow beautiful bike and story. My sportster is also named after my grandmother: GINA 😍

SWEET

Very nice ride

That's a sick bike, but I really enjoyed hearing him describe the history of the Frisco-style bikes. I'm a bobber guy, but I had no idea of the purpose of some of the part setups.

that’s one bad lookin chop 👌🏻

Dude I say the same shit when I wear my prescription sunglasses😂😂

👍bike building. life changing

great vid beautiful Sporty Cheers boys

Sweet ride bro

cool ride, immediately knew he was talking about snap ring pliers lol

badass bike homie way to tackle that transmission and knock it out finding the parts n gettin it done, nice flat head decale on the silver tank and that master cylinder is cool i like a front break

Beautiful bike bro

That’s a clean sportster.

I love Sportsters, I have 2 of em (along with an Evo Fatboy and a M8 114cu Fatbob) For the bike in the video I would do the frame the same (color) as the tank. Wouldn't go for the "chrome" powder coat, I seen many, but it seems "off" every time.

Absolutely fantastic bro Richie (uk)

When’s the next big trip, love watching those videos 👌 pretty sure iv stayed up late watching all of them they are sick

that's photos from Jordans instagram are dope! We need more stories from these guys!

This bike is everything i want, its perfect.

That's a really cool looking bike you have.

Nice bike has a story.definitely made it his own.

dope sporty!🔥

Espectacular "Sportster" EVO. Una chopper muy trabajada, y el dueño un figura...Mi respeto. Saludos from Spain🍻

Looking cool your bike really nice

Nice bike , hard tail is not for UK roads lol but my dreams are coming near 🤙

Hells Ya!

Lotta silver and black for a niner guy :)

very cool😄

Super Bike, gratuliere 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ich baue gerade einen Chopper auf Softail Evo 1987 Motor, ich bin Chopper Fan seit ich meiner Freundin Zeitschrift Custom Choppers bekommen habe. Das ist 1978 lange her.

check out Arlen Ness 'frisco style sportsters from the 70s. Nice build, I always loved the sportster tanks.

Beautiful bike. Period.

I think the guy said that owning an Ironhead forces you to become a mechanic. Seems like he's been doing a pretty good job of it himself anyway 😊😊

Dope design

First kick baby!!!

Hola soy seguidor del canal desde colombia !! Por favor habiliten la posibilidad de subtitulos y de traduccion al castellano !! Gracias

Clean sled

I’m big on neutrals as well. I’m getting my tank and fenders painted gun metal grey

Saludos carnal desde Mexicali baja California

Nice bike Dre'

Super cool bike. Riding a hard tail with no springs in the seat must be a back destroyer.... he doesn't seem to be affected by that rigidity though

Gracias amigos ! Excelentes videos !! Podrian hacer alguno del cronograma de mantenimiento de una harley ? Gracias !!😅

sorry about grandma brother but you saying 2001 for covid was hilarious

Goddamn that 240 is fucking hot, I had a buddy with a ratty one with a sbc in it and fuck me was that thing fun, you couldn't ride in it for more than 15 minutes without getting an insane headache cause the fumes but fuck me I loved that thing, you livin the dream brother, I got me way too many projects rn, haven't even touched my sporty in months.

Killer bike great video how do I get that vest with iron cross

Modest bloke with sweet chop. Props!

very good for having complete brakes 😁

Was thinking about getting those same pipes for the chop im building just trying to figure out how I’d have to get the brackets on like he did, sick bike tho!

Yeah, I want to build a bike too... but that would be me... a part a month.. Probably starting with a frame... next month rear wheel... etc..etc..

Really nice looking bike!! I'm rebuilding a sportster-1997 myself. What kind of exhaust do you have on yours? Custom made?

you own a harley you are a baller! I ride a huffy.

👍👍👍👍

Thanks Nice Build & Bike really like the Kick start ..I said what ??? @ 1 st .....what year is that engine
