Forgotten For 21 Years, the Freedom Factory Motorcycle REBUILD Begins! 

Hey cleet love your vids keep up the great content Hell yeah brother 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅🦅🦅

cleet has touched almost any machine you can drive

What’s up Cleetus!

It’s always welcomed! Let me come smoke some tires at FF

We need more BROTHER BUT BIKELIFE like when you had the 50stunted crf

im dying laughing at the panic buy. so great. the b pillar isnt that bad lol.

Desperate times call for desperate measures

@@CleetusM no one will ever be desperate enough to go buy a 2 door TRX. We've seen what it looks like...now you will never hear someone say "i wished they made the TRX in rcsb form"

@@extremecheddarswityomomI will still say it lol. This is the coolest truck ever

I think cleetus just wants to keep the 2 door.

Same!! It’s unique and will probably be the only one like it’s kind floating around since it was a custom job and Cleet and his crew were all over it!

lol @ “Stub-Rex” 😂😂

They have to!!!!

RIGHT!!!!! Ant Stuff a Baby Bottle in their Orders for Naptime!!

Nope …still don’t want a dodge…..

​@CleetusM you're known to take risks, so far all of your risks have paid off. When you show us what you're planning with shorty, I'm sure it will also pay off.

Literally my thoughts, thank you lmao

Your hurting that motor more than anything soaking it in break clean! Get a can of ether and tap a couple puffs in there and try it if it didn’t idle its not going to run!! cool project though that things going to be fun

Bending the frame like dodges are known for. Look at the gap dif between the cab and bed top and bottom. Ruined it towing that trailer

It’s cuz it’s a Ram lol the Ford and Chevy two door bet did really well so yes it was a miss by Cleet

@@Xy11212 Dude, you replied to a comment that has nothing to do with the motorcycle.

Hell yeah man it looks way better!!

Agreed

1000%. Love it now

Do like a faux glass inlay on that chonky b pillar, make it look like the old Chevy "king cab" style. Don't need to actually cut a hole, just the look of a window there would help immensely.

Should have put the vinyl Trump side profile decal in that spot!!!!

I had about half of that list in my head, but the kerker 4 into 1 i have never heard that on a Suzuki, i use to have a KZ-750 kawasaki with a kerker and loved the sound, always wondered what it would sound like on another bike brand.

I've heard a Kerker 4 into 1 on a V65 Magna several times, I second that motion, best sounding pipes I've personally heard on any bike and especially on a four cylinder.

You nailed it, hope he can see this

That's if they were going to do a proper resto. They way they 'secured' the bike on the back of the tow truck resting on the front guard suggests to me that this'll be a hack job. Which is a shame because that bike looked relatively clean and undamaged. They should sell it to someone who would appreciate it.

So everything but the headlight and chassis

💯💯💯💯💯

That's right. All the way down. No choking. Definitely don't spit

@@DildoModelname checks out L

I love the 2 door but with my family i would have to go with the 4 door

Lol if you think giveaways cost him money you're a fool

No he ain't, he hasn't done one giveaway for subscribers outside the states.

@@Sanderly1820 brother doing a giveaway outside the states is pretty dumb to be honest, u have to do a car that passes legislation in other countries and I doubt that a car modded by cleetus would pass legislation in a country such as Germany for exp., so if he were to do it I would bring the level o the car itself way down

​@@Sanderly1820wahhh

Might owe the bank a lil😂

@@Sanderly1820bro u r dumb

It's both! Cleet and Squirrel restore it back to broken status, then Zack and Ty fix it!

😂😂😂😂​@@TheTmaaan55

This comment 👌😅

Dude I died when he said "let's park it over by Zack's toolbox where Zack and Ty are working so we can get them to help whenever we need it." 😂😂🤣🤣

Haha so true 😂

Shut up dude it’s just a yt video lol

We need more hour long videos in our life!!!

I agree. These longer videos really make my day.

Shut up dude it’s just a yt video lol

AGREED!

I’m keep pestering him to get an *OFFSHORE POWERBOAT* last thing is for Cleetus to conquer the ocean

@@EncomHumanRecources A rocket ship Ceetus in Space

​@@EncomHumanRecourceshey don't threaten him with a good time like that.

Don’t forget the hovercraft content

​@@EncomHumanRecources he would be killer in powerboat I'm sure, after seeing the way he drives the sprint boats 😎 Add my vote to yours on this

Or how he said smoooth

Its David MacFarland Steele's motorcycle, he rode to desoto raceway and he never left

ME too

My heart does kinda hurt for that front fender though....I could be wrong, but I think they probably have a truck bed to transport that on LOL

I got my license and a GN125 for my 14th birthday in 1992. Since then I’ve had a couple of 650 and 750 Nighthawks, and a BMW K75 (how I learned jetronic) and a R1100RTP. Sometime I wonder if my folks were trying to get rid of me. J/K. My dad was an ag pilot and he wanted me to come work the load pit after school.

@@JoshJones-37334my mother rode a 750 night hawk lol

ya those boat challenges a while back ere great would love to see something like that again

"Oh, yeah, so it's no big deal. .... 21 years... oh... didn't see that coming... 21 YEARS IT'S BEEN SITTING?!" 😂😂😂😂 The stages of realisation 😂

Dude as a 1998 baby (I know I’m still “young” as they say) but I hated hearing that… I started kindergarten in 03 and as a now 26 year old I hate it. I used to hate school growing up but these days I would give anything to go back in time to do it again and try harder. To any kids reading this, PLEASE ENJOY YOUR TIME AS A KID…😭

That feeling only grows as you age too lol. The closer I get to 30 the more I need children too its odd. ​@@wyattjackson977

Bike content annnnnnd its a big ole 1l suzuki! Sign me up these Gs 1000s are beautiful bikes.

That's gotta be an awesome thing to be able to do. Rolls up with new truck "We should go drag race em" Goes next door and drag races them practically immediately (as far as we know anyway) 😂

You’re choking on it. Zip it up when you’re finished

@@Cattywampus12I mean lets be real tho, what other youtuber is buying a whole nother truck to give it away

@@Cattywampus12 god forbid a man give another man a compliment

yeah he's the best because he caters to his little cry baby fans lmfao its a shame they can't be appreciative

@@Cattywampus12 Aww, look at you trying to be all edgy and cool in a RU-vid comment section. Isn't that cute? Narcissists can't handle others getting compliments. You had to make it gay, too. Daddy teach you that?

My dude!!!!

Thank you 6’3 to

I agree I'm 6'4 and if the interior was smaller there ain't no way I'm fitting in it the extended b pillar was a amazing idea

6’4 here and it is amazing 2 door truck. Shame I’m in the UK so can’t win it 😢

No Midwest Drags this year Cleetus?

As goofy as that thing looks it also looks like the only single cab that would actually be decent to drive regularly.

I wonder whoever wins how long itll last until the motor explodes. If i won it thats the first thing id do run it until the motor exploded

thinking the same thing, bunch of little cry baby fans if you ask me

No one is knocking the space. You can keep the length and use a 2 door cab door instead.

Most of them are probably trying what to be pissed about next. The same people will have something to say about him buying two.

I've never entered a giveaway so i don't care, but I can point and laugh when I see something funky. The 2 door is very very goofy looking, that's why I can't like it.

Bot😩

21 years of corrosion? I'm going to bet they aren't rebuildable.

100% correct. I'm also a mechanic 👍

My favorite bike is my carbureted GSX-R ... Mainly because I can do everything myself on it still lol whenever my 2022 GSX-R 1000 finally has an issue I'm sure I'll have to take it in if it has anything to do with the fuel system other than a bad injector

Stop replying to bot comments.​@@DTGTDetectingTheGoldenTriangle

This

Seconded on the JIS screwdrivers, I learned the hard way on a scooter and it was NOT fun

YES!

Need to make those stickers dissappear and put some tinted wing windows

I agree

Yeah it does!

Agree. Definitely made a difference. I wonder if he had posted the first video with the vinyl on would there of been as much hate

Flat Black Wrap is on point 👉

Bro acting like it wasn’t a money making move. If people don’t buy merch the giveaway is pointless.

@@kevinmenard6792 I said RU-vidr obviously it’s about money. He’s just a (regular) dude with some deep pockets from these videos and merch. Other RU-vidrs would’ve ignored it cause they don’t care what regular people think

They should of kept the factory pipes too lol

@@josephmcmicking161 as long as they don’t put “pod filters” on I’ll be sane 😂😂

i just hope when they do get it running they show it some respect, that bike isn't a joke, certainly isn't like his pit bike

@@YetiMotorsports 😂 they'll learn quick about the venturi and Factory airbox. I have 78 gs 750 that runs great. You can get away with different pipes and air filters but you better be good at carb syncing and jetting

Cringe yes.cutting those exhausts that were not even rusted.omg.surface rust on the inside.4 in to 1 kerker would sound fantastic.carb clean and kit and she will be ship shape.

he couldn't even look in the camera 🤣🤣, hell of a way to make up for it though!

@@robertreynolds930 the two things I love the most about cleet is that in videos like the jet boat last week the first thing he does is check on George and check he wants to come again, and the fact that he genuinely reads the feedback on things like this and takes it to heart and acts on it. The most genuine person on RU-vid and you can tell the amount of butthurt rambling he cut out in editing lol, love it

One good thing about those haters,, their comments HELP the videos algorithm BIG TIME. Our ol buddy Cleetus MAKES BANK with every comment 🙂

Very True

The haters not buying merch affects his income so he has to cater to them.

I am also a motorcycle mechanic. The way that they treated this poor bike. Almost everything that they did was wrong. That’s not how you try to restore a vintage motorcycle. The last thing that they should’ve done was try to get it running before a long list of things that need to be gone through. I can’t believe they towed it on a tow truck stinger. Super dangerous.

So do it the only thing stopping you from doing it is you

@@user-qz4he6qv5wD1 hater 😭😭 They are doing it for content and fun chill

Cap

The idea is cool the execution was not, should have made the doors longer so the b pillar didn’t look so goofy.

I think it's the styling that makes it look goofy. The 6' tall hood, enormous, bloated body with a small cab looks a little funny. I do like a short cab though - I've got a short cab ranger, and no regrets. I haul stuff, and use my bed for truck shit. backseats plenty large for the dogs.

Sorry that chopped TRX looks horrible. The proportions are all wrong

he didn't, this was a decision for his wallet. I can GUARANTEE you he didn't get anything close to the merch sold that he wanted and simply had to look at the comments to find out why. 👍

You're contradicting yourself. You said he cares more about the fans than his own money, and then followed it up by saying he could've just taken a loss, which implies he's ensuring that he makes money. I'm not saying he doesn't care about his fans, bc obviously he does, but these giveaways are to make money. There are people who buy merch who normally wouldn't bc they're hoping to win the giveaway and people who buy more merch to get more entries. Losing a portion of those people bc they're not interested in the prize could have a huge effect on the entire merchandise giveaway process. He made it clear when talking from a marketing perspective about the funnel that this was a financially motivated decision.

@@James-vn8zbit makes more sense for a fans> money perspective when you look at other giveaways done by RU-vidrs. He could’ve given away the barely running Chrysler 300 and his giveaway would’ve generated roughly the same revenue. There’s obviously going to be a little more excitement around a more expensive truck, and while it will generate more revenue, it wouldn’t be proportional to what he spent. Obviously giveaways are meant to make money, but there’s a difference between milking your fans for every penny they have for an item that isn’t really worth it, and genuinely trying to give your fans something cool and worthwhile. Edit: for those who don’t believe people will spend insane amount of money for something unique associated with a RU-vidr, WD sold Ferrari pieces for a total of almost $170k. People have also sold dirt. Keep that in mind.

4 door for sure. Stub doesn't look right. It makes a short bus look intelligent.

@ThatGuy-nv7cx I'm well aware. WD sells shredded pieces of everything. Cleetus sold grass. However, that's a little bit different. They sell it as limited supply and it's still a money grab, but it's not a $5 shirt for $35, or a $200 Lego leroy. Next time, look at when Cleetus holds a shirt up during a merch plug and there's light behind it. You can see it's thin material for the most part. He knows that he sells way more merch by giving away a high-end item as opposed to a 2006 Kia. It's like the lottery. Sales are much higher when you can win a billion dollars. After someone wins the billion, sales are way down when it's "only" 90 million. It's the same tactic. You have to keep in mind that his profit margins on merch must be large enough to pay for the prize and make enough money for the giveaway to be worthwhile. He could easily sell the shirts for $15 or maybe less and not have a giveaway. So people are getting scammed to a certain extent. They're paying a lot of extra money for a slim to none chance at winning the prize. However, if that's what they're willing to do, whether it's to win the prize or just to support Cleet, that's up to them. It's just that I have seen people say they're broke, but they're going to spend what they have in hopes of winning, which is sad. I actually saw a person say that were spending everything bc they thought winning was their last chance before giving up on life. Sorry for the long-winded response. I just wanted to be as clear as possible.

@@James-vn8zb your lottery analogy makes sense when the prize is only about the money, but it’s not the same when RU-vidrs give away items that hold special value or memories. For example, demolition ranch has given away many cheap cars in the past, but since they were in a lot of videos or held sentimental value to the channel, people went wild. Keep in mind that the profit margins from the merch specifically do not have to cover the costs of the giveaway. 150k+ *profit* is a lot to make on merch in such a short time. He can still do the giveaway at a loss and still come out ahead due to how many videos he makes on the truck. The real money isn’t what he’s profiting from the merch, it’s the extra videos and eyes on the channel that’s driving the long term profit.

Glad you said this. I had a friend whose mom had one 30 yrs ago, I remember it being vicious.

I can't wait to see what the bike turns into

That is quite a bit of horsepower for 1979. My 2000 Honda CBR929RR was 125 hp stock, but it weighs about 200 lbs less. 😂

​@@ripn929707My 81 Yamaha xs1100 had 95hp

1979 and 1980 only. the '80 model was shaft drive

I think cleet knows how to repair it. He's restored a few engines

A list of things it doesn't need to run and do burnouts 😂

It definitely won't be getting all of that...my guess is fresh gas...carb rebuild and one set of brakes working

Id change the chain to prevent chain wack later on if it breaks

And Nitrous! To complicated getting a turbo on at this stage. Could be fun putting it on their dyno to see how much it makes after all these years. And then, NOZ 😅
