    I 100% agree and back you when you say “I build for myself and not for the next person”. So many people always criticize of doing mods that are irreversible like chopping the rear stays and so on with “It may lose it’s value…” To who? NOT me. I pretty much have to tell them to mind their own business and kick rocks. Nice ride bud, you’ve made it YOURS.

    looks great, next up - tank lift, relocate coil and ignition plus wire tuck under tank if you havnt already (seeing this video is almost a yr old). Thing is looking bad ass. Wish I could run those wide of tires on mine but Ive got a bobbed out 883.

      First time I've seen a video that you was able to change a tyre to a wider tyre I thought the frame would need changing. Can you perhaps make a video with your knowledge on that. Love from UK.

    Nice changes. I do like what you did. Way to customize and make it unique. I would love to see a mini rear fender, the drag bars go away and put like some 14” mini apes. Also the Vance’s and Hines short shots look and sound nice for an exhaust upgrade

  • @jamiecox2506
    @jamiecox2506 Před 5 měsíci +2

    Solid effort, man. The rear fender has always ruined the look of Harley's in my opinion. I guess it was part of the subframe for taking a pillion. You have just cleared this up for me, so many thanks!

    @mbhunter2011 Před 2 lety

    Love that bike I haven't seen Any of your other vids but the only thing I'd do differently is add some mini hugger fenders purely to help reduce being hit with small stones coming off the tires or help reduce water spray off the wheels. But that's just my opinion if it was mine. Looks awesome.

    Great looking bike for sure! I LOVE the chopped frame and eventually I’ll have the guts to do mine lol.
    As far as I’m concerned nothing you did decreases the bikes value, ton of sportsters out there with untouched frames but I think it looks great chopped. Love the drag bars also, the seat? I’m on the fence with- I like them sitting in the frame (I know, not very comfortable) and I would add LED lights all the way around. Love it so far

    • @jpht.adventures
      @jpht.adventures  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks for watching! The bike was actually uncomfortable with the drag bars and the seat you see in the video. But I changed it to a bigger one and now it’s extremely comfortable!
      Let me know if you ever chop yours up 🎉

    I own a drz400sm and an xsr700 but I wanna get a 48 next. It's the best looking sportster, love the style with the peanut tank and the beefy tires. I would do all the exact same mods, pipes, wrap, fenders delete drag bar maybe mini apes. Just love that bobber look. Personally, I'd get a seat with a lower profile, less spring, and pipes that were level and not one tip a little longer than the other but that's just being nit picky. Bike looks fuckin amazing man, really hope to see more videos of your build
