- Sportster Teardown Weekend 1 in the books. Check it out as I start on my chopper project; I got myself a Husky Mechanics toolkit at the HomeDepot for about $100 and watched a few TH-cam videos from @Moonfleet41 and @lowbrowcustoms and got a lot of major components off the bike with little to no trouble. I dont think I have the skill set or knowledge to talk you through a how-to or step-by-step, but I hope you can see that its not that hard or intimidating to breakdown a motorcycle. Consider subscribing to see the chopper build progress, thanks for watching.

ah yeah another build ! Nice beats too !
Thanks for the mention buddy, and good luck with the project, we look forward to seeing how it goes!
Good luck with the project. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out 👍
Thanks! I’m having a lot of fun, lots left to do, I have more vids in the works. Thanks for watching!
I love watching vids like this! Here are ways to reduce the flickering:
1. If you’re shooting in 60fps, reduce it to 30fps or 24fps. I shoot all video like this in 24fps.
2. Set your shutter speed to double your fps (or close to it if you can’t get it exactly double). If you’re shooting at 24fps, set your shutter speed to 1/50. This will put the shutter speed above the the flickering rate of the LEDs.
3. Change the bulb to a lower hertz or dim the lights a bit (this option isn’t ideal because you want to light up what you’re shooting.
I hope this helps.
This is awesome! Thanks for the tips, I am going to start messing with my settings and see if I can get it to look halfway decent for the next video. I truly truly appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Man great vids! I came across yours looking to chop a sportster. I hardtailed a Yamaha xs650 years ago with a basic tool box, Home Depot wire fed welder and minimal knowledge....but a lot of love, patience and passion for bikes which balanced things out. It came out way better than I expected and now looking to take the next step on a v twin. Also cool that you're up here in the pnw too...I'm on Whidbey Island. Liked and subbed! Cheers man. Cant wait to see it done!
bravo un abonné de plus de la France ✌✌
I could see starting with just a motor and then getting a hardtail frame and going from there. I think it would be a lot less work than tearing down a stock bike. I have a 1999 Sportster 883 with 400,000 miles on her I've had a 20 plus years and the engine is all original. My Triumph 1965 TR6 as a bolt-on hardtail with a sprung solo seat and the ride is more comfortable than my Sportster. Of course I can go back to stock real easy on the Triumph because it's just a bolt on. What I like about a hardtail frame is that you steer it and it follows. My hardtail Triumph weighs almost nothing. I will imagine putting it in a hardtail frame will lighten the bike immensely. People don't realize how heavy shock absorbers of the swing arm are. But you got to remember custom bikes you cuss them that's why we call them that they'll fight you every step of the way but it's worth it in the end.
I hear you on this comment, really appreciate the feedback. I selfishly am wanting to learn the good, bad and ugly from this project. I definitely thought about doing a full hardtail frame and motor option, but also wanted to get some hands on experience messing around with basic hand tools and making this bike my own. It may not be perfect at the end of the day, but also wont be a one and done, I hope to make this a bike worth working on for years to come. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Are you keeping the tank and fenders? If not I'd be interested in taking them off your hands.
For right now I am, once I get the frame chopped and things start coming back together I will consider selling them. I’ll likely post them on Instagram first. Thanks for watching.
