Im the "son in law" lol. This was so much fun and so ridiculously easy. We built this thing with hand tools in paw paws garage. Outside of stl nik welding and powdercoating we did it all in house. One thing i wish we wouldve done is body worked the tank before coating. If the light is right you can see the wrinkles from stretching the metal
You guys did a great job. From what I've read is a lot of body fillers don't work with powder coating. I need to ask Official Powder coating before I send off my tins.
I couldnt find anything that said powder would stick to filler so we opted against it but i just wanted it to be known that there are imperfections to manage expectations, if that makes sense
Got my 05 883 from Docs and immediately went to work on it not a hardtail but I love my sportster and Richard’s bike is gorgeous wish I could see his other builds
Get a bike and do it. We spent so much time over thinkin this and that and finally went "just fuckin cut it" after that we were commited and it was downhill from there!!❤

Nice-looking bike.
Looks to be an excellent job on the build.
You should have started it up so we can hear those pipes.
Be careful, ride safe.
100% I should have. I often get caught up in the moment and making videos goes right out the window. Thanks for watching and ride safe.

In my opinion the Sportster is the most fun bike HD makes.
Very nice ! I’ve always wanted to do one myself
Clocks ticking get after my dude

Beautiful bike!
Love that seat 😎👍
I rode mine to New York and back without any pain, I'm optimistic that he will have a good experience as well. Thanks for watching
A pretty jam up job. Very nice. I run that same seat on the Tramp too.
Hands down one of the best chopper seats.
Thank you for the kind words!!
Really impressive looking bike. You might want to consider taking on modifying and customizing bikes as a side-line for extra income.
Im gonna show paw paw these comments!! You guys are amazing!❤
Super cool 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for watching
awesome sportster!! love it, peace
Nice bike , I like that color
The video doesn't do that paint much justice, but what a smooth looking machine.
Unfortunately my shop is on an extremely busy road so outside footage is about impossible. The color is amazing in person.
