It's starting to look darn good with that springer on it! I keep using those because I like the ride,and the look. (Oh,did I tell ya I'm old skool?) Stay safe, and 2 wheels down out there!!
Rather than using a patting motion to pack roller bearings, I learned, at about 12 years old, to do a scooping motion of the edge of the bearing into my palm full of grease, and I believe the scoop motion to be much quicker to fully pack a bearing set.
yeah....that rear fender-less look is great but the rooster tail sucks. if I catch any puddles or ride by any overwatered yards on my ruckus, ill end up with a mud line from my crack to the top of my helmet lol
I can't wait have a bike I feel like I wanna have long term and start doin work on it like this. For now, I'm still searchin for what feels right. Enjoyed the video as always Blockhead, see you in the next one
Hey there brothers great project I've always wished for a Springer frontend I ride a 68 Sportster buy the way if any of y'all have some front brake lines for my 68 with dual front calipers and or a set of forward controls see I've got cancer and get leg and hip cramps I feel better when I stretch my legs out but without something to rest them on I can't hold them out very long so makes it hard to ride for any length of time remember always keep the dirty side down and be safe healthy and happy God Bless 🤠
I'm sorry to be that guy. But damnit! You are packing those bearings upside down! I'll link you a "how to" whenever I do the bearings on my boat trailer. They work exactly the same way..... Rant over. Carry on
He man i recently bought a cbr 600 still waiting to get it delivered.. i see you ride in Orlando and subbed. I stay close to lake city and need ppl to ride with I’m a beginner
Well, color me disappointed: I assumed this would be a funny, fun video featuring footage of disastrous mishaps that resulted when Jerry Springer tried riding a chopper for the first time. I was really excited!! He'd be on the pavement, at the end, a bit bloody and worse for wear and tear, but still his usual deeply human, middle-way-Buddhist self, and the icon would quip to the camera, "This has been a blast! I now know I was born for chopper-style bikes. Well, you probably are too! Don't fight over who is the father, anymore--that is pretty played-out. And, of course, be good to each other. Come visit me at Mount Sinai!"
I just bought 71 Harley Davidson sportster. It has a hardtail and springer front fork that looks like those. The problem I'm having is the rear brake linkage eyelet & bolt were ground down almost in half. It has a jockey shifter on it and it came with foot shifter. I used the eyelet and bolt from the foot shifter to replace the brake linkage eyelet. The brake lever attached there is to low to the ground. The springer front end are longer forks creating the frame to sit higher in front and lowering the rear as to oppose to stock forks. I wonder if a differently made hardtail is made to fit that could raise up the rear a bit more or should I drill & retap threads hole above the one there on the triangular shaped brake lever to raise the linkage itself then, cut the lever original bolt hole off?
So what all do I have to order to just put the springer so far I got the risers the springer and the caliper what else do I need to mount light and speedo
I missed that video but regardless of being a patreon member I would have voted for the Springer front end. But maybe would've gone with the one from the guy known for inventing the stretched forks.
Was hoping to see you actually mount the front end and not to nit pick but why didn't you just pull the old front end off as one piece, unscrew the stem nut and pull it? I think you should have mounted the front brake rotor before balancing the wheel and tire, do you think it might have any effect of the over all balance? Over all the bike is looking good.
Looks better. I saw rusted springer (the springs) the other day but the engine looked super clean like new, the rust was distracting; kind of made me search the channel for "rust."
Wondering if you ever got the box opening implement I sent? (Aka from Dragon) I got a notice that it was undeliverable, then delivered. I never got it sent back either 🤷♂️. UPS had problems matching the city to the zip code you have for your mailbox address
Hey at 10:09 i just noticed the front turn signals on the iron 883/1200 are mounted above the lower triple tree. Does anyone what part is that because most i have seen put it on that lower triple tree
Hey @blockhead what is the blue bike in the video in your garage after you show the new tire on the rim? Sorry if you have already addressed my question
Haha made me go listen to AMERICA F*#K YEAH! MUSIC VIDEO ooh the new IG look when u show them well that was unexpected to just jump on a riding section BUT I LOVED IT was expecting to all be in the garage,glad it was also some riding ! And the new like button at the end dayum like the new visual upgrades also sick outro song !
Is this springer a standard length or is it plus or minus inches? I just got off TC Bros website before I came to this Channel. I'm looking at their 2+ for my new sporty rigid build. Any suggestions?
When it starts with a group lubing, you know it’s gonna be good
Evidence would suggest the opposite.
My favorite Harley is the Heritage Springer classic.
Oh yeah, the Sally!. Two tone Springer is a MAJOR improvement.
Great to see SickWideGlide in the garage. What an honor!...
Springers look amazing and if they are made well then they handle great. I think it’ll look awesome on the SPS.
Words to live by, "When in doubt, spring it out!" Love the springer front end!
the Springer looks Awesome! This is going to be a Great looking bike... like "Ghost Rider". ;0)
G
Sickwideglide out of his natural habitat is a shocking view lol. Also you better give cheese to Captain Anna's mouse that thing was working overtime.
Left comment on Patreon, but left out my favorite bike is Grom! Ride Safe
Is that the schwinn logo on the kneck.
Love the Sucker Punch Sallys!! One of my riding buddies had one, and let me ride it a few times. Great bike!!

I just bought the same wheel from TC Bros. Great quality and great folks to deal with.
Capn Anna sound effect was nasty and surprisingly realistic. 🤣
I’d be interested to see an Indian FTR on the channel and how that bike with some mods holds up against GoldZilla 🤟
This is definitely my favorite bike of yours! 🤘🏼 More videos of the chopper please!!!!
Really enjoying the new details in editing @blockhead keep up the awesome job!
While I do really like the SuckerPunch build. GoldZilla is my fave!!
What the hell, you can’t leave us with a incomplete bike! Love the sucker punch but gotta say my favorite is goldzilla!!
Doing paint work it’s always a good thing to rip tags off micro fibers cuz the tags are known for scratching up your paint
yeah....that rear fender-less look is great but the rooster tail sucks. if I catch any puddles or ride by any overwatered yards on my ruckus, ill end up with a mud line from my crack to the top of my helmet lol
For sure, been there! haha
I can't wait have a bike I feel like I wanna have long term and start doin work on it like this. For now, I'm still searchin for what feels right. Enjoyed the video as always Blockhead, see you in the next one
Editing keeps getting better and better, awesome content Block, ride safe bro.
I so love that bike. Ana’s sound affects are so real sounding, made me laugh.
You should get an old Harley from the 50s and rebuild it from the ground up.
Someone got some new decals for their videos😄 they look good👍
Someone hired an editor 😁
Sick new edits & sick new tattoo!!! Another great video!!!!!
That is going to be one sic bike after that build! Ol school build...noicly done Sir Blockhead n' crew!
4:25 this exchange 😂😂
Hell yes!! My first chopper ran a twisted Tennessee springer
Awesome looking bike. Would love a springer but our roads just aren’t good enough.
That new front end is looking gooood.
Did I see a blinker left on when making that turn right before it swapped to packing the bearings. 😲😲😲😲
Man that front end looks shhhhhmazing!!!!!! Good work Block! 🤙🏾
I've got to get a 6 over springer for my 48 now. they just look so cool. Problem is just finding one to fit my tire🤣
Love Chris and that he has a wideglide keep him on the channel more please
Hell to th' yeah! I love springer forks. But... gotta be CHROME. You don't hide a work of art in flat black. Ever.
Stay humble. Ride safe.

Except when they start "pogoing" in a sharp curve.
So what do you do to balance the front with no break?
Gonna look really nice when fiinished

Hey there brothers great project I've always wished for a Springer frontend I ride a 68 Sportster buy the way if any of y'all have some front brake lines for my 68 with dual front calipers and or a set of forward controls see I've got cancer and get leg and hip cramps I feel better when I stretch my legs out but without something to rest them on I can't hold them out very long so makes it hard to ride for any length of time remember always keep the dirty side down and be safe healthy and happy God Bless 🤠
Thats gonna look awesome once it's done!
Aside from looking awesome, are there any other benefits to a springer front end?
I'm sorry to be that guy. But damnit! You are packing those bearings upside down!
I'll link you a "how to" whenever I do the bearings on my boat trailer. They work exactly the same way.....
Rant over.
Carry on
He man i recently bought a cbr 600 still waiting to get it delivered.. i see you ride in Orlando and subbed. I stay close to lake city and need ppl to ride with I’m a beginner

At least they used the high temp silicone. Haha.
I want that TC BRO’ S springer fork on my 2014 883 ! How much will the springer fork cost , all in one ? From Japan 🇯🇵 Osaka City , a true fan !
Whatup from Colorado
Man! I love Edwin at Cycle Gear!
That bike looks bad ass!
Looking good.
Hooah
Oooohhhhh yyyyyeeeeaaaaahhhhhh, pack that grease
I missed that video but regardless of being a patreon member I would have voted for the Springer front end. But maybe would've gone with the one from the guy known for inventing the stretched forks.
Hell yeah looks great. And I know it was awhile ago but I appreciate the vids on the how to ride a bike my friend really needed them
Yo, is this stock length of springer? Thanks for answer!
10:45 Why does the back tire look so shiny?
Yes
Is that Saniderm on the right arm of one blockhead? Fresh ink?
Do it do it do it!!!!
Sucker punch sally chopper is a beautiful bike. Yeah, more videos. Cheers
what do you recommend for a first bike
Looks cute, but will kill the handling in the front end.
Always smash the like button !

What’s the best bike to ride as a beginner?
Looks better. I saw rusted springer (the springs) the other day but the engine looked super clean like new, the rust was distracting; kind of made me search the channel for "rust."
do you still have that front wheel and tire, I bought a 93 FXDWG that has a 16 in heritage soft tail wheek and tire. Is it for sale?
What size are these Springers?
Sick wideglides shoes are dope! What are they tell me!!!!!!
Great video. Really got to work on my video editing. I hate being new at this youtube stuff. Lol
Wondering if you ever got the box opening implement I sent? (Aka from Dragon) I got a notice that it was undeliverable, then delivered. I never got it sent back either 🤷♂️. UPS had problems matching the city to the zip code you have for your mailbox address
I DID! Just got it today, while recording a video. Holy hell man, lol, that thing is crazy! Incoming in a vid, appreciate you Dragon! 😂
@@BlockheadMoto that's so weird! I sent that ages ago! Haha. Enjoy!
Looks great man.
Springer ... yup
Hey at 10:09 i just noticed the front turn signals on the iron 883/1200 are mounted above the lower triple tree. Does anyone what part is that because most i have seen put it on that lower triple tree
