Hey Crew. SAVE BIG MONEY on riding apparel and bike parts using the links in the description.
Hey looking at building a first bike or maybe a second bike with a sports bike as a first.
Kinda want a harley engine built up but expensive. And also insurance would be killer. What's a starter recommendation for a drive train.
What kind of sunglasses are you wearing in this video?
I have no experience in building but I would love to buy a bober for 6too 8 thousand bucks..I was in a wreck and because of injuries I need forward controls and I'm in my 30s now so a harly style bike is what I probably need..I love bikes and cant go without one.. i dream of a simple cool bobber to cruizeon i got a damn scooter this year hattoseeificoyld ride with my messed up left leg and honestly if I dared..so nxt spring I'm gna have to find a bike that can actually keep up with traffic sorry forte long reply. I'm hat exited to be back on the road
Man now I can dream on...work of art.iwish I could build ..so awsome
Would that bike be for sale ?
Memo to myself: quit watching youtube videos, sign up for welding class.
Don't sign up for a welding class. Buy a welder, and learn yourself. TH-cam has a guide for everything. I bought a super cheap welder and built my bobber with almost no practice LMFAO. A lot of grinding, but it turned out nice.
👍🏻
@@JacobPrince12 I tried. I bought gasless welder. I guess the key to it is very thorough metal prep :) cheers.
Weld with almost no practice? Yikes. As a welder of 10 years I'll say hope you don't end up all over the pavement
@@JacobPrince12 you need the papers bud IF YOU WANT TO HET A JOB A EARN A LIVING!!
I kinda did... but in my country we cant change the frames. So I rebuilt a Suzuki Intruder vs700 into a bobber/chopper without cutting the frame. I still have a double seat since I couldn't cut the frame (and because I have a couple nephews who are soon old enough for a long awaited ride along!) But I basicly stripped all unnesecary wheight off, simplified electrics and threw on apehangers, an ammo side box and gave it a matteblack/white skulls spraycan paintjob and a bit of red blood dripping pinstripe... I love it, and it didn't cost much but it draws attention like a mofo! -I can't stop anywhere without someone creeping up to ask questions. LOL
Edit: My cost was a bit over 4K$ including the bike...
So badass. And seems pretty doable. I definitely wanna use your basic template here and do something similar some day soon
Who ever wins is going to have a life changing experience
nice build.great colour!! the fuel tank looks great. so wish i had the art and skills to make one of these
What talent ,,, u need a job with Harley , to make cool bikes like this ,in mass production , , I'd like one for sure
Nice details for this build ...
Beautiful bike man!!!
Hey MP Enjoyed watching your build and your modifications...Can you help me, I want to build a kit bike, & I can find Bobber & chopper kits even at J& P Cycles...but I want to build a Softail Deluxe, can you tell me is there anywhere on earth where they sell complete kits for a Deluxe Build?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
I must say I didn't like the sissy bar until I saw it without I'm sold on it definitely looks a lot better with it
You are one of the rare ones -lol MP
Hola una pregunta cómo podría comprar una soy de Bolivia
Luar biasa kreatif
You look like John cardiel
This bike is absolutely killer and a big motivation for me to get back in the garage. Time to stop dreaming and start doing.
And...?
People with a gift such as yours may not realize how amazing this all seems to most of us.
I have the eye to appreciate the hell out of this gorgeous machine.
I'm glad I have at least that !
i totally agree
sometimes i doubt myself then i look at my hands in amazement
i found 1999 honda shadow 600 for 800 usd, removed the decal of the tank by sanding down and then repainting, I repainted the frame and removed all rust, put about 20 hours into restoring it, installed custom indicators and levers, total was 1000 usd so 800 usd for bike and 200 for parts and restore and its now the best bike ive owned, have a few panigales and this is now my daily, love it
My cancer may be back after two and a half years N. E. D. . If it's back and advanced. I want to put together a bobber and just ride as long as I can before becoming debilitated or death bed ridden.
What is the quickest I could put something together like the one in this video ?
Cool bike.
Peace
You should consider honda shadows, Yamaha virago , Suzuki intruder these bikes are pretty cheap and they have a big bobber community . If time is an issue go with a bike that is popular on the internet so you can get ideas and have your questions answered by a simple Google search . I hope this helped
@@ariskassis this is good advice. If you want something lighter a yamaha sr400 or suzuki savage make awesome little thumper bobbers
shit sorry to hear that.as my mother is going through cancer as i write this. bastard disease .
please up load some pics if your able if you decide to do this build. thoughts n prayers to you.
Blue Collar Bobbers. Cheap and they have kits for Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki. Check out their website. Incredible.
@@thejerseyj9422 cant believe they dont have one for my Yamaha sr400 bummer!
Yes ya can do it! I built my HD Rigid Evo. All new parts sourced online from various vendors and Ebay put her together in my bedroom (ok I was single then lol) had her inspected for the title/tag for $6312.00 Total and I built new no donor bike. I started with the motor cases and went from there. Ordered a new part every payday and insured I got the scoot I saw in my head. 89" Harley Evolution Big Twin 10:5:1 comp. motor with a decent cam running through a 6 spd tranny in a rigid frame. quick fast and maneuverable for city traffic. Do the work yourself with all the info available online and youtube aint nothing ya cant do with a little patience and practice. Hell I even learned how to weld during this build. Been riding this bike since '08 daily rider don't own a car don't want one
@@SP2X1353 Good looking scoot Bro. That's what I'm talking about, back in the day we had to make our stuff work. Ya couldn't go online and get nothing. Ya made it or yer Bros made it.
@@SP2X1353 badass pic man. Holy shit
You are a bad man lemme tell you
That's so bada$$. I love budget builds. This was in my recommend for some reason. I've never even ridden a motorcycle and I'm 40 & from the Midwest. I still love it man.
@Heywood Jablowme So needing an artificial ACL in my Left knee, preventing me from shifting....(I did ride ATVs..) Is GhAyyy?? Real intelligent.
$4000 to build ,4000 for the chiropractor once you ride it.
It actually rides pretty smooth. The spring seat does the trick
@@MOTOPILOT6 ciao and so happy came across you video. My fiancé wants to get me one bobber as a wedding gift. Please reply so I can give you more details.
Can always get a hidden suspension softtail frame increases cost a bit but spring seat rear suspension and a good front suspension and it'll grip well and ride comfy as can be.
Well who is this Tucker character? Sounds like a damn good friend!
I totally agree. You are in a class by yourself. Thank you for giving me the imagination to take some of your ideas and come up with my own. Priceless
I'm thinking of building a kit or piecing a bike together. End goal a little nuts but work my way up. Kinda want something that will drive kinda like a harley with the lower rpms but still be able to get up and go into higher rpms but not quite sport bike territory. Thinking like 7200-7500 redline. Torque curve relatively flat from 2200rpm to 7000. 120 to 130 ft lbs of torque should give a final hp of like 150 to 170.
Thinking a 6 speed transmission but also seen the 7 speed gear set for Harleys but not sure.
Not sure if I'm gonna put induction on it or not. Might need it for engine characteristics. Fuel injection most likely. Kinda prefer the look of chains to belts. But reliability so yeah not sure yet. Wider rear tire but not a full on 330. Want a slightly thicker tire as well so it can handle off road and tune grouns clearance. Probably 18 inch rims.
Idea is a bobber style bike keep it relatively narrow and easy to get around tight spots. Not raked out. Low profile frame and a neutral seating position. Ape hanger bars. Low front end on the frame so it keeps the bars able to be tall without going over shoulder height. Won't necessarily be a true bobber as it's not gonna be as stripped down but have the look.
Smaller fenders. Rear attached to the swing arm for the tight fender look hard tails have. Springer seat. Kick starter but also a button starter. Still figuring out the gauges but minimalistic.
Keep it relatively low but decent ground clearance. Up right position with a shallow rake should help with steering and responsiveness.
Trying to decide between an aluminum frame or a street one. Trying to keep it light weight as possible. Still want it heavy enough not to wheelie. Also thinking a larger tank capacity.
Not sure it'll meet my needs but kinda want that 94 cubic inch knuckle head style engine s&s does. Might go with something different though and see about finding a random sports bike v twin I can play with in the bike first to keep insurance down.
Won't be the most aero bike hence some extra hp and torque to overcome drag. But mostly to drive around normally. Kinda wanna play with the gearing. Have it keep a similar top speed to some lesser sports bikes but pull way harder at the beginning but not run out in higher rpms. Won't be a super bike or even some race tuned 750s but should be good enough.
Probably gonna find some lace and go lace paint job since it's easy.
Gonna see if I can figure out a good set up so I can have traction control wheelie control and anti braking but on an easy switch control that's low key.
What a beautiful bike. Subscribe. Thank you. From South Korean TH-camr Woongkham.💜💜💜👍👍👍
Muy buenos consejos. Mi proyecto es una Kawasaki Vulcan 750 del 94. Y si, la estoy llevando al estilo bobber. Manillar lo compré barato. El asciento es artesanal, de cuero genuino. No me salió muy caro. Pinté las llantas y botellas de suspensión con pintura epoxi, y tapas de motor en negro. Le puse gráficas y esta casi lista. Faltan detalles...
Saludos desde Mar del Plata, Argentina!!
That’s a pretty nice bike, depending on when you got that voodoo vintage hardtail I can tell you who built that either myself Michael or David Roy. you definitely did a hell of a job with that bike
I like your scoot but I can't take anybody seriously who don't know how to pronounce Paughco.
I can’t take anyone who DOESN’T know basic grammar seriously.
@@theseconddarrin3788 actually, you being an English teacher first and a biker 12th makes a lot of sense to me.
Sweet bike!! It's pronounced "paw - co" and they fucking rule!

In 2024 I bought a Kawasaki 1600 cc Vulcan Nomad bagger with 30K miles, 2 owner garaged, for $3250. Looks great, sounds great, runs great. Love it, came with Vance and Hines Pipes and Mustang seat.
$4000.00 BUCKS! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SMOKING? You can build a bobber soooooo much cheaper. It's not supposed to be a show bike. JEEZ
Hey... I love your work.. I'm in Brooklyn New York... I can use your skills on my bike and doing a custom build my ride ...a Suzuki burgman 650. If there is any way that we can work together please let me know.
How do you sell eBay? Or whichever way I like it a lot, it's cool and super beautiful Riding in Thailand is probably cool. Looks like a v twin engine. It should be another cool way.🔥💛🖖🏼🇹🇭
I really want to build something like this maybe with a cb750, xs650 or perhaps a c40.
Just a little worried about hardtailing these bikes. How are they to drive on asphalt with a good seat and mild stretch?
Two points...
#1 You can’t build a bike for 4 grand. Not really.
#2 I can’t even turn loose of 4 grand if it was actually possible.
With that said, I have the ability to build a bike from scratch, frame and all. I majored in metal work / welding in high school and college. I later moved into engineering after four years of doing metal fab and machine work. I am as qualified as a human can be. The cheapest a bike can be built is 8 grand. Not including engine and transmission. To insinuate a bike can be built (as in anyone can do this) for that money is crazy. The tools to do the fabrication are in fact, a very real cost. Not even counting large tools/ equipment, that could be borrowed for short term use.
The crap hose clamps,,,,,No battery cover? The green wire showing on the brake switch. Absolutely gorgeous bike, but some of the details just throw it off.
Nice build...looks great, just needs spoked wheels...those 5 point alloys don't look right on a bobber...just my opinion...🤘
love watching all ur builds..with ur amazing skill and know how’s awesome. I wondered how would you go about building a honda valkarie bobber…I think it would be epic
I couldn't bring myself to strip that Honda,that thing was sweet. The bike is awesome though,very nice work,wish I had a shop.
It's sad how a lot of people probably quit watching when you mentioned metal Fab. I used to be scared of it too then I just did it. You can't afford the tools you can rent. Watch videos and learn from your mistakes.
ฉันชอบมากโมดิฟรายสวยบึกบึนคราสสิคกู๊ด
Love the bike. A little small. Not a Vtwin. Not knocking it. Love that bike. Its one I would buy for my number one girl.
Epic build. How did you learn to build bikes like that? Any tips on how I can start building with little to no experience? Lol.
My first street bike , 1982 CB650 Honda....same engine on this bike
Great job brother. Just found your channel. Liked and subscribed. Thanks and God bless you.
You're a genius man, absolutely great... I love the bike

Amazing work 👏, after looking at this video I purchased a 1987 shadow 700, can't wait to see how it comes out. pray for me 🙏
Nice build men, Just doing my own build Yamaha xj650 1982

Thinking about bobbing my 78 xs400. Just don't know where to start
What bike is it?
I'm all about the Harleys but love bobbers and this is one badass bobber Harley or not,i would ride the hell outta this gorgeous beast,what is the red color powdercoat?
I built one with a king spoke springer front end for about 3000. Sportster 883.
This guy shown to the world that a distance between buying and building is very FAR.
This is exactly what I'm looking to do a real bobber! Most of us are looking for the OC over inflated price point. Great job again.👍🏼🌞👍🏼
Absolutely beautiful build! Thanks for sharing, insight and inspiration. This looks like a $20k + machine! 👍👍👍👍
i would love it if someone would build me a motorcycle frame i can pay it out back tire first then you got your motor then you have your seat in front of the motor then you be sitting 9 or 10 inches off the ground
Sick.. you have great skills my friend.... now how do I get that bike lol j/k this is motivating me to build my first bike
Another kidney destroyer bike $4000 kidney transplant $500,000 lol
Can you build my bike for me I just got my first bike and I dream to own one u built and at the moment my family cant afford to build it
Definitely describing to your channel but where are the in detail videos on building this bike ?
Vanilla Ice at it again I had no idea he built motorcycles. Glad to see him still doing things 👍🏼
I would of loved tosee it left raw tina petina. More charm more vintage 🎉
4k without all the materiel you got allready. Thats not really 4k
Nice bike man. I have a project that I need help with, feel free to help me👍👍👍
Mi a dont like sissy bar on bikes it down grades the style but thats just my personal opinion
hi, nice motorbike! i wanted to know what fork did you buy? how much does it cost?
Really nice little Chopper do you build bikes for customers
I love inline fours. Great build! You found some nice deals and yes, if you can fab stuff yourself, all the better! Not a fan of wheels with no fender in case of road trash or unexpected rains. But still looks great. Thanks for your video!
I have a question, where could I get the engine for this build?
Of course I havent heard th cc yet. Hooe 750 or bigger.
Can you build me one I’ll pay for labor this is sweet
I’ll find better examples after I make Tois dinner. Lol
Q: is it possible to covert a carburetor bike into fuel injected like you did to that? I have a 1994 Suzuki intruder vs800 and just wondering if it’s possible or where could i get the parts? I’m looking to convert mine into a bobber. Thanks!
I did not convert this bike to injection. I’ve never heard of doing that but google might shed some light
Would you be interested in building me this exact bike?
How much do you charge to build one of these bikes?
I could be talked into paying 6k for that bike.
What's the difference between a Bobber & a Chopper?
Hello sir i has seen your bike video, then i will mead that same one
Can you modify my enfield 500? Wr u r located?
Built for 4000 or sponsor's? I'm confused
How many gallons/liters is the tank size?
I have an 01 Road King FLHRCI that is wrecked and I wanted to use the motor and transmission from it in a rigid frame but it looks like no one makes a frame that I can do it with. I want to use the stock front end to.
@Ben O They have one but I would have to use a four speed transmission not the five speed i have.. I have always had four speeds and I forget I have a 5th gear in my 02 FLSTC sometimes.I don't have a problem with a 4 speed but I have a 5 speed I want to use. I am not sure why i would need a 6 speed I don't ride at 85.
So your getting all the parts cheep, and it maybe cause there cheep parts, and then you need to make parts, for the cheep parts to fit on too, and you will need to by tools to make the parts for the cheep parts you buy for your bike and you need to build the cheep bike up from the grown, o m g, and you give the bikes a way ?, is it because there death traps ?, something smells fishy, you keep the bike, or better then that lets see you take it for a ride, a long on, now theirs a video.
I'm 13 and I'm willing to go all in on my birthday and Christmas money. But that will only be enough for the frame since I need a the weilder
By far one of the nicest builds I have seen awesome job
Bella moto i miei complimenti buona giornata Fabio ✋👍
The tools probably cost more than the parts
I will give you your money back for it.
I have a scrapped yamaha dragster that I want to build, it starts but needs a body. Including tank
