Awesome video man. You guys should do more motorcycle videos like this. Also make videos on all the TFL staffs personal vehicles and the story behind it
As a life long rider of all things motorcycle I always enjoy watching these videos! Good job on the Harley. I lean more towards sport touring with my current 2013 R1200RT! But when I was your age I loved my Kawasaki GPZ 550, Suzuki GS750ES. and my quirky Yamaha XS750 triple!
I had an 1989 883 back in 1995 ...Bored out to 1200,hot cam, ported and polished heads and it was a monster. Started at 38 hp was 103 hp when done. Miss that bike it only had a 4 speed transmission And after about 200 mi ride your hands and feet would tingle for hours. My riding buddies would tell me to drag a magnet behind my bike to catch all the parts that would vibrate off my bike! I learned loc tite was a must have in your tool box. Thanks for the video.
I like your take on a daily rider and yea, the Sporty sounds and feels great. The belt can last 100K miles but removing the belt guard increases the chances that stones/gravel will get between the belt and pulley which is the most common cause of premature belt wear.
Great video, love the sporty, and the motorcycle content is awesome. Keep it up. I have owned a couple sportsters back when I was younger, great little bikes to get into the v-twin/Harley world.
Awesome build, I absolutely love what you’ve done with it!! I’ve had the same visions of my 883 but a little more mad max style. Plus mine is brand new so I can’t just start whacking away on it like with an old sporty. Thinking seriously about some 50/50 tires though when the new ones are ready for changing. Gonna ride the stock tires into the ground first!!
Ah, to be young again and unfettered by money and the world's complications...Enjoy your youth and maximize on the simple pleasures. Soon, life will take you by the neck and there's not a lot you can do about that...
I gave up owning and riding bikes some years ago, but my interest in them is still 'up there'! Yes Kase, keep videos like this coming along,..I for one, find them good entertainment and informative too. Stay safe, and keep your distance! OH by the way,..Roman is, ' reportedly' a motorcycle guy,..how come he's not here with you? ( yes, I'm smiling here )
I keep eyeing scramblers for my next bike but don’t know if I could give up the comfort, luggage capacity and on road handling of my versys just for something that’s better looking.
I only have 2 real issues with this bike. #1, the rear lighting has VERY limited visibility, which could lead to an increased possibility of a rear end collision. #2, please, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, get that drive belt adjusted correctly. That thing is slapping all over the place like a wet noddle and is guaranteed to snap at some point soon and leave you stranded.
too bad you know nothing about harley sportsters as they already have a street tracker on and off road street legal that is too many cc and makes 40 more hp than your home made destruction of a sportster that is now worthless as the XR1200 just gained its original cost as it is now a collector bike worth $11k hehehe on the street stock will earn a twisted throttle salute from 600 rice rockets when they find out it takes more than 130 to pass you as there is no body can imagine a 13 yr. old sporty could ever make 95 hp from the factory ..and last week at the 2024 daytona hooligan race of 12 major brands of street bike racing over 150 mph the all new sporty S was ln front chased by a indian scout chasted by ducs april illnesses and yamazukes
I thought Colorado had a stay-at-home order? Just wondering because people are dying and we're all following the law so I think that people who make TH-cam videos should as well...js
Great work! You have skills! I love the old school rough look. Polishing it up would not benefit it. Sounds great even though I agree that louder is not always better. Is this the beginning of TFL Motorbike?
As soon as I heard Harley scrambler, I immediately thought way too heavy and you probably have to change out the entire suspension. But if you're just using it for well maintained fire roads you should be fine.
Sportsters are great bikes! I’ve had my old rigid mount since new in ‘01. Most fun street bike I’ve ever owned, I’ll never sell it. Converted it from 883 to 1200 last year. Yours looks cool, I would ride that off road no problem, dirt roads, fire roads , and mild trails.
Wow! Love this content! Really enjoyed seeing something that a TFL runs/drives for themselves. Your individualizing this bike is very cool. It's not my thing or style.. lol But that does not matter. It is really cool you made it your own. My last fully street legal bike was an 85 NightHawk. And it was fantastic. You and Alex ought to run some trips together. Would like to see what he runs. In fact, I know Roman runs a bike now and then as well. Not sure it is a Dual sport or just MX or perhaps he has more than 1.
Keep up the good videos. I used to ride a Honda CB500 in the mountains and this video brings back memories. I now ride a Streetglide and feel the same way as you. There is a picture of a dog sticking it's head out of a car window and enjoying the wind in his face. The caption below says "Dogs get it". Enjoy the wind.
nice bike makes me miss my sporty that i sold last year but now i have a dyna that im wanting to modify and make mine would love to see more motorcycle content
HI & GREETINGS FROM ALASKA.....CAN YOU TELL ME WHO DID THE SEAT JOB FOR YOU...???...I know You mentioned it was somebody in California...Great Lil Vid Btw...Tanks Again....Sgt T. Mead ALASKA
Im a fan of tfl and i love sportsters, how have i not seen this. I like it man very nice. May i make one correction , in the hd world the 883 and 1200 evos are not considered big twins . Ride safe man hopefully we see this bike again.
Hi Kase 🙂, yesssss please on many more vids like this. You and Alex should do more motorcycle vids, it is honestly truly awesome to see the scenic areas where you ride. I love scenic drives myself, but for you it really highlights what you are passionate about, it's inspiring. Stellar vid Kase.
Nice bike I like what you have done to it, and more content like this would be great, I no longer ride bikes after my third accident not my fault the other half said no more bikes but I am hankering after another Yamaha V-Max, but since this pandemic money is tight to say the least, and as my business is seasonal anyway not this year unless a small miracle happens, so some more like this would be good.
What I'm about to say will tell you how little I know about motorcycles. How do you transport a large pizza and groceries on your motorcycle? I'm mostly wondering about a large pizza.
@@kasevr I'm super excited for that video because until I watched your Gnarly Harley vid I did not realize how practical motorcycles are. Again, awesome vid Kase 🙂.
Love what you've done with the Harley. Thanks for sharing. I wish we could get more young people's point of view when it comes to them. There's something about the joy of a HD that just keeps you coming back.
Harley fans will probably find this video sacrilegious. I like the idea of more motorcycle content. Your bike did look way to clean for me to comfortably chop up as you did. To each their own though
Please continue motorbike reviews, so I can live vicariously through the writers and journalists!! My wife said over her dead body that I will own something for transportation with less than 4 wheels!!
Love the videos, love the bike, but stay away from my daughters.
Awesome video man. You guys should do more motorcycle videos like this. Also make videos on all the TFL staffs personal vehicles and the story behind it
I second this
Been saying that for quite some time now. Emphasizing that content now that their format has to change a bit over new car reviews slowing down.

Yes please!

Fresh job on the gnarley davidson youngblood 👍
You can probably get some baffles for those pipes.

LOL, so true, i’m about to hit 40
Well done! YES-- more motorcycle content please! :D
Nice

If the cold doesn't bother you, why wouldn't you ride in rain or snow? It's not hard.
ebels3 Ive got no back fender so rain isnt the best haha
@@kasevr I see.

Nice ride. Check out Lectron carburetors they can solve your altitude issue, they are great folks and it’s an EVO carb hack for us EVO fans.

Great job - it looks phenomenal; hoping I can put together a scrambler similar to yours for cruising. Dope video!
Great bike great audio great editing Solid man. you inspire all to enjoy life as they want
nice bike makes me miss my sporty that i sold last year but now i have a dyna that im wanting to modify and make mine would love to see more motorcycle content
I would like to know who made his sweet in CA. It looks awesome and well proportioned
HI & GREETINGS FROM ALASKA.....CAN YOU TELL ME WHO DID THE SEAT JOB FOR YOU...???...I know You mentioned it was somebody in California...Great Lil Vid Btw...Tanks Again....Sgt T. Mead ALASKA
Tim Mee S-CO Kustom Seats, if you give him the dimensions you need he can build a seat to fit your bike
I'm getting ready to restore a 73 sportster like some ideas.
love the concept but does it off road at all? all show no go?
They bike doesn't weight close to 600lbs in the trim you have it in.
They do though
Im a fan of tfl and i love sportsters, how have i not seen this. I like it man very nice. May i make one correction , in the hd world the 883 and 1200 evos are not considered big twins . Ride safe man hopefully we see this bike again.
Slap that CVO Road Glide cowel on a big twin liquid cooled off-reader. Get out of the GRAVE Harley. Build something cool!

I like that it uses bash bars for frame. I like the Triumph Bonnieville a bit more as less weight and can fit a belt for most riding.
Awesome bike video TFL needs a bike channel. Kase has more cool home built bikes to show.
Harley should take notes. This is how they could get people my age to buy their bikes.
Sounds Gaye to!
Very nice.. this certainly deserves more views and upvotes
Hell yeah, love the motorcycle content. I have an '06 Electra Glide
Did I miss something - why are you running the front tire backwards?
Cool bike though 👌
Its on the right way, the tread on bike tires are apparently designed different from most so that it channels water away from the center of the tire
Cool.
Nice bike,less chrome is better for HD
You don't like babies peacefully sleeping, or nurses tired....trying to get some sleep, so selfish 😔
What I'm about to say will tell you how little I know about motorcycles. How do you transport a large pizza and groceries on your motorcycle? I'm mostly wondering about a large pizza.
Groceries I put in my backpack, and there will be a video coming soon where you can see just how a pizza is carried on the bike!
@@kasevr I'm super excited for that video because until I watched your Gnarly Harley vid I did not realize how practical motorcycles are. Again, awesome vid Kase 🙂.
Kase gets cool every episode lol
Does Case have a YT ?
Great project, man!
Really like the bike and the custom seat. Can I ask who made the seat for you?
S-CO Kustom seats, if you give him the dimensions you want he can build it to fit your project
@@kasevr Awesome, thanks
Looks nice, cool dual sport "look". Next get a dyna fat bob, miles better than a sporty in every way. Love the bike content!

Of the dozen or so bikes I've owned, not 1 was HD. Yours ressurects an itch I recall how to scratch. And, summer's coming...thanks!
get a 2 into 1 exhaust, fits the style, gives better back pressure for power and is slightly quieter. Awesome video and an awesome build!
Man that looks good
Great build! More motorcycle stories, please and thank you!
nice bike
Great project, thanks for sharing.
Like the style of your bike dude!
Yes more motorcycle content.
Good vid.
