John's Sportster was his every-day commuter bike. One day after a self-confessed 'moment', John ripped everything off the bike, and started out designing the look.
After an engine overhaul, a full personal respray and a complete rebuild the result is this stunning 98 Sportster custom, under John's own brand 'Brain Freeze Customs'.

That is an absolute beaut of a bike. Exactly what I would have built. Those pipes are fantastic. Well done that man !👍

Cheers dude!

@mikestewart7322 6 лет назад

Very nice mate. Good work by you. Think I would put the painting out. Just so hard to get the right result in the shed. But it’s yours, you created it and you can be proud when you ride it. 👍🏻👍🏻🏍

Kudos to you from NYC! Nice job! I miss London.. Spent 9 years 95 - 04 working building out the wireless network there. Lots of fun..

My favorite bike shed build. I'd love to see more hard tail bikes!!

@nathanielhill9782 5 лет назад

Beautiful bike man. Bought a 1995 XL1200 that sat in a garage for over 18 years, and I'm looking forward to giving her some love this winter after I'm done riding her for the year.

Beautiful bike it's got that real old world look and feel to it.

@jonfindlay7838 5 лет назад

Thanks for that little bit at the end about straight pipes. That's one thing I've wondered about but never quite looked into - how guys can run straight pipes and not get pulled over constantly for breaking sound restriction laws. Or their eardrums :P

Never say never! After riding for over forty years I think I'm ready to build a rigid chopper. I can't believe I'm saying that out loud. Lol!

@mr.noneofyourbusiness3234 5 лет назад

very cool build! a custom indeed and a hands-on not many will take so big shouts for that. Maybe one day when I finish my 1999 Honda ACE to RatChop I'll make the cut on this channel. (fingers crossed...lol)

@highvolts6620 4 года назад

Nice job bro... nothing like ol’school style. I’d ride this over a big wheeled bagger any day!

@pero2727 4 года назад

Now that's a build; respect, man! Unlike some clowns on here reading out their 10 page shopping list of perfectly fitting off the shelf parts that they just bolted on.

@bryonkidder6199 2 года назад

That's a great Sportster frame! The lines are better than most aftermarket weld-on clips on the market today...W○W!

@wolfsworld3634 5 лет назад

"had a bit of a moment and just ripped it all apart" I relate to this. i'm sure when he got it all apart he stood back and said "what the fuck did i do?"

@perotekku 4 года назад

Is this a London style of Chopper? I really like the lines on this, and other custom choppers on this channel. Definitely what I'd like my project to turn out looking like!

@mayjoe3742 5 лет назад

Very nice! John, if you love wiring bikes, feel free to come to Minneapolis, Minnesota and re wire my 1994 sportster. I too have done a rebuild although not as thorough as you have. Cheers!

@eddiecaplan1908 5 лет назад

..sorry!, i didnt hear your bike running before commenting!!!!!, Motor sounds really smooth, nice even idle speed, i like the short pipes, (dont listen to any idiots criticizing the welding!, they are absolutley fine!, they curve in and around just right, and as you clearly have sorted the jetting and timing, you have built a really cool ride everyday bike,most folks would envy😀

@brainfreezecustom5476 5 лет назад

Cheers buddy!!

@eddiecaplan1908 5 лет назад

@@brainfreezecustom5476 this is a brilliant bike, the fact that you ride this every day around london, and are still alive😀, i love all the attention to detail, the headlight rocker switch, side starter button, t.i.g welded frame, avon speedmasters, the whole thing is the perfect mix of oldschool look late 60s/early 70s chopper, but built for keeping you rolling in the 21st century,

Clean 👏

@michaelsmith1094 4 года назад

NICE. Where can I get some of those most hidden looking turn signals that you have. When I was younger I just ripped all of that junk off, but getting older makes me paranoid Also I live the way you utilized the chain guard with your home made custom. And las but not least, is that an Avon back tire? I love the tread design. Thumbs Up!!!

@brainfreezecustom5476 4 года назад

Thanks Michael. Yea it’s a 16” Avon SM rear tyre. Indicators are just led strips cut down to size and wired up to an little flasher.
