Sportster Build 

Nice simple build. I am getting into building bikes more and more all the time. I do see a market for this skill. I appreciate everything you have shared here. Thank you!

I've found hairspray ideal for grips. Spray heavily inside the grip, jam them on and once the spray dries, it'll help jeep the grips in place.

What a fun build and looks cool too! Shows how you don't need $10,000 in custom tools, equipment nor accessories to make a bike your own. I think sportsters, especially the 883 get too much hate for being just what they are; One of the worlds longest continually produced motorcycles from the '50's. I'll have to check out your other videos now! Great job again!

Saw you wrapping the plane pipes and balance tube but didn,t see you swap them out for the drag/shotgun pipes,that would have been good to watch.

Little tip when using aircraft remover after you spray it warp the entire tank in plastic wrap and it helps speed up the process

man, this is one of the coolest builds I’ve seen in a while. the simplicity works so well

Love the changes sir! I have the exact bike 2001 Sportster 1200 Custom and love how it rides.

I inherited an ‘87 sporty from my aunt, and this is pretty much exactly what I wanna do to it! It’s in pretty rough shape as it’s been sitting in a shed for a few years. I also find myself wearing my checkered vans all the time lol

Dude what a great job on that sporty

awesome video that bike looks amazing love the drone footage was badass👍

Great content brother! I myself am doing some bike builds. Stoked for you 🤙🏼

Love the channel, I’ve always wanted a Harley. Just subscribed.

Nice , right now I have my 87 xlh1100 up on the table and I'm building exhaust

Good vid I hope to do something similar soon

IDK about the WD40 on grips, sounds like an accident waiting to happen. I would recommend using hairspray or an air compressor.

Such a great channel!

Awesome vid with great commentary and videography/ editing , nice looking bike when finished,always a fan of sissy bars too,Best wishes to you, from, Auckland, New Zealand ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍✅❤🙂🙂😉😉😉🍻🍻🍻

Great budget build

How did you fit the original switch-housings on a bar without dimpling? I tried a non-dimpled Biltwell bar on my 01 sportster and i couldnt fit the housings on as the cables need dimpling on the bar ?

What happened to the exhaust wrap?

Need to strip the rear fender also. And it would look much better if the seat was black. Nice video tho

Do you have any recommendations on where I can find a seat in this style for an 08 sportster?

Doesn't the WD make the grips spin around on the bars? I've always used spray paint because it acts as a lube and a glue. Great video production!

You should use 2k clear on the tank, that clear you are using if 1 drip of gasoline gets on it your screwed it will melt the clear

Nice inspired video.

Whose exhaust pipes did you use?

Are you gonna strip that rear fender?

How tall are those T bars? I can’t decide between 8” or 10” for my 1993 sporty, I’m 5 8”.

What is that gold helmet on the left? At the beginning.

Nice man! How comfortable to use that gauge on a fork btw?

❤❤❤❤❤

Hello. I like a lot your bike and Prism object ! I would buy the king Cobra seat, for my sportster 1998. I would a seat that also can be comfortable for the passenger. I am troubled of the only 3.9" width in the passenger zone. What can you tell me about? Thank you !!

Thanks for the well presented , well shot and interesting video. It was enjoyable and great to see an every-man type of build up. Not the mig welding, plasma cutter, angle grinder, "build not buy" type but the sort that could be done on a spare long weekend. Also can you tell me how you got permission to spray paint stripper in the garden? when I do that I tend to lose a part of my anatomy.

Love the content bro,stoked I stumbled on it as fingers 🤞 ill be doing same sort of build this summer. I'd love to kno what you payed for ths sportster

Nice

the paint didn't even look that bad. you could have probably just buffed it a bit.

I would to have those bars that you're taking off of that bike

I'd keep it man but I definitely needs an intake⁵

Great build! Just bought my first harley a 89 xl883. What kind of oil do u use for your transmission and primary?

Hey my friend try using your air compressor blow valve to put your grips on next time like your videos

Awesome content bro. You sold me on getting those Prism T Handle Bars for my sporty. Did you have any problems reinstalling the stock controls? I saw some other ones with dimples, but I'm really digging the Prism ones lol

@Two Pence Moto what is the musik?

5:35 did you cut in to that box twice lol

I like the cut of your jib good sir 🎩

Mirrors ?

you ever ride to south east motor sports?

🤞🏻🔥

That’s not a build brother, it’s a parts swap.

Hello Seat brand and model please and sissy bare brand and model 🙏🏻 TU in advance for your reply

Love your style 👍 Vans n nudie jean. What type of nudie u wore? Thanks 🙏

No anti seize on your new spark plugs?? FKN ROOKIE

Выхлоп мотал, а в конце другой выхлоп, попробуйте объясниться )

exhaust rap is going on the other side , back to front ...

Mac miller lives!

youd probably make money on selling an original paint tank and purchasing a raw one

Did all that work then put cheap gas in it

😬

brown seat. Negative.

So boys and girls, you can spend $1000 to bolt on a bunch of pretties onto an 883 and at the end of the day you are still riding an 883 while $1000 lighter in the pocket. Build, don't buy.

Why ruin the sound of the bike with deafening music in the end :/

I realize that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but these are my thoughts. 1) I have always liked the Harley factory esthetic. I like the original handlebars better then those T bars. I am pretty sure the grips it came with were not original, but I liked them better then the replacements. 2) I noticed that there was a lot of oxidation on the chrome. I would have attempted to deal with that. 3) The seat has the pretense of having space for a passenger. Have some poor girl ride on the back for 15 minutes and ask how she feels about the seat. The old passenger backrest looked more passenger friendly as well. 4) I like the look of fenders. I realize that shortening or removing them has a more bobber look, but I am not a bobber kind of guy. Besides, when you hit a mudpuddle or two, you might realize why they are there. 5) Replacing the exhaust pipes with straight pipes certainly makes it LOUDER. And slower. The illusion of power is not power. Ask what your neighbors feel about straight pipes. It also means that if you want to keep your hearing, you will need earplugs. 6) Does the amber headlight make as much light as the original? Do the new turn signals? 7) I am tired of everything that has a skull on it. My last point is that everything on a bike has a function. Replacing anything with with something else that looks good in your opinion but doesn't function as well is counterproductive. Of course, these are only my opinions. I have a 1200 Sportster which is box stock. I plan to keep it that way.

Your music is TOO FRIGGIN LOUD!

So you're just going to spray that shit on that tank outside and on your grass/yard???? WTF is wrong with you??????

No offence dude but you need some real mechanics tools. Manual screwdriver???? No ratchet? combination ratchet wrench?? Make your life easier brother.

music SUCKS! It's distracting and annoying!

No I did not enjoy the video you didn't even start it up

A true build is when you start with basically nothing. You design the frame, the motor and all components. Allot of guys will buy a used bike and add parts to make what they like. Nothing fabricated and built by hand. Take Jesse James for instance, he does a true build. Now you can “build a bike using pre faves parts and it will be unique and different but a true build is from zero.

The seat seems lose and why wouldn't you throw a tin fender on to match? Not hating just saying if your gonna do it 🤷
