@@caseyadams437 thank you so much dude!!! We will keep crankin em out!!
Totally entertaining.. enjoyed 👍
Fuck yeah man thanks for the comment!!
Thanks for the video
Thanks for the comment!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! The “Wilford Brimmley” had me literally LOL’ing!!!
DIABEETUS! FIGHT IT!
excellent vids lately. I wish you would re-do the old VT600/VLX vids from years ago in this style.
which video would that be?! drop the link in the comments here and ill see what we can do man!
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS you probably don’t have the time (or desire) to, but in the groups we are always telling guys about which coolant lines they can eliminate and how. And maybe what jetting and fuel settings to start with when going with an aftermarket exhaust and stack. It’s always these questions over and over. It would be cool to just pin or drop a link to your video. Appreciate all you’ve done for the community, man.
@@hondamotorsrider thanks fir the feedback dude! What do you mean by pin or drop a link to a video? Can you go a but more in depth with that so I can understand a bit more? Thanks man!
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS in the FB groups when folks ask “can I remove these coolant lines?” or “I just swapped my exhaust and put a stack on, but my bike doesn’t run. What jets should I put in? How many turns should my mixture screw be?”, then I can just paste the link to your vids for it (and draw people to your brand). On the forums threads we could just “pin” them to the top of the results so that it’ll be easier for people to find them. 😎
Oh… and could you do a video with the different sizes (height) of your T Bars, please! I’m wanting to get a set of those, and the Back Draft exhaust for my Phantom. But, not sure which height to buy.
Hmmm, ok, what would the video help viewers understand?
Thanks for the video.
How do you handle the wiring process?🔥🔥
I havebother videos covering wiring. Whatever I don't need, i unplug.
HILARIOUS!!!!
Why thank you!!!!😄😄😄🍻🍻
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS Reminded me of the movie Deuce Bigalow and the chic in the car with him. LOL! GOAT NIPPLE BITTER!!! LOL!
Is there something similar for the VT1100 boys with dual shocks?
fun you should ask cuz we got rigid struts for you too! - shoptjbc.com/products/rigid-lowering-struts-for-vt750-and-vt1100?variant=23508201504826
I’m also a VT1100 boy. Chop or Die!!
Can u install strut and keep the bike body and rear fender stock on a 2002 model?
absolutely! The mono strut just allows the bike to be hardtailed without turning the frame into a rigid frame.
One thing I'm wondering is what do you end up doing with the fuel pump that's under the stock seat? Im looking at the entire mono-strut kit you offer and Im interested, but I cant seem to find anything about relocating or removing the fuel pump/filter that's under there. What's your recommendation and what are my options?

Read the link 🙏🏽 enjoy!
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS Thank you!
Random somewhat related question...Have you or do you recommend a hard sided bagger kit for the VT750s?
What is a "bagger kit"? I'm the last guy you wanna ask about bagger stuff. 🤣 I am not a fan, but do you, brosephus, if it makes you happy, rock on! 🍻🍻
Thanks man. Just trying to be a bit more comfy for a long ride coming up.
@@madebywadeca ok. But make sure you say brotherrrr a lot and yell "raise hell praise Dale" so everyone knows you're not one of those bagger types. 🤣 Just get one of the big biltwell bags and strap it to a sissy bar, works great fir long rides
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS A sissybar would help. These days it still a flat pack and bungee cords on the rear fender.
Aka the spine buster
Quit being a bitch n come on! 🤣🤣🤣
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS pain is good broken spine makes me feel like a man! Ya gotta have back bone to break it! 😆 sometime soft but cheeks is good😅
@@scowlsmcjowls2626 in all honesty I just drop the psi in my rear tire. Rides great
Hahahahahahaha TJ, the beginning of this video made me chuckle
If you're not laughing you're not doing choppercycler stuff right!!!
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS facts….
When are you gonna have those sexy slide covers back in stock?
They don't sell. No one buys them so they sit on the shelf forever. I'll do a poll on Instagram. GO vote!
hello brother i want one piece of this part but no send CYPRUS
Im so sorry man, if you reach out to customer service through the contact page, they might be able to help you out!
You’re the fucking man!!! How do I rake out my 1980 Honda Cx500c. 😂😂 but seriously. Help me TJB!!!
Youd honestly have to cut the frame and rake the neck but you'd also need to move the downtubes and the backbone a lil bit to go up and out or else get a long front end. Major fabrication undertaking there lol
You’re the man! Thanks for responding!!!
I got a new chain and sprockets went to change them and I can not get the axle out let me tell you I don't think it has ever been changed any way I can get it out without messing it up
yes you use a brass drift to tap the axle out. be careful. if its THAT stuck your swingarm may be bent. doubtful, but ive seen it happen..
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS I bought the bike it has been setting in a garage for a few years but when I take the nut off of it I can clamp vice grips on the spacer and can barely turn the axle with a ratchet I figured I might have to heat it but that could mess bearings up and seals you gat a lot of experience with these bikes thanks for the info I been staying on your website I love the parts I've got so far from you I'll be back in contact for some pipes and handle bars soon I want it to look like one of your bikes I love them thanks again
@@user-xz9gk8tl1k ok first, vice grips need to stay away from the bike. Spay some panther piss on it if you want, but just get a long brass round bar and start tapping it out. Rust, dirt, old grease can really glue things together. Heat is not gonna help you here.
That's what I'll do my next order is going to be your high low pipes got to take the stock pipes off to be able to get a good straight hit on the axle will help to so I'm going to check my funds and go ahead and order them s.a.p@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS
You have a girlfriend😂 Huh, love your work man.
i know, I don't know how i managed that!
No cussing family friendly here 😂
🤣🤣🤣 im an adult, and to be safe. the channel is not marked as a recommendation for children 🙏🏽 adults feel free to enjoy!
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS I’m joking 😂
@@TheArtisanTouch I'm fucking not 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS well fk
@@TheArtisanTouch fuckin A brochacho! Hahahaha!! Shiiiiit
I’ve learned a lot from you but why no one ever tryed making the vt1100 chain drive ? No one ever tryed ☹️☹️
I habe covered this about 400 times. You would need to completely redesign the transmission on a ahaft drive to change the direction of the drive shaft. And you would lose a ton of power. Best way to convert a shaft drive to chain- sell the shaft drive, buy a chain drive bike lol
Ok I get it the direction of the transmission spins opposite direction. I know you haved covered it but if the direction is opposite that a big problem
@@loveoflabor3780 no. Not opposite, completely different plane, and function. I'm not here to argue. Go spend all your time and energy undoing a shaft drive engine and trans. 🙌 If that's what makes you happy, bless you and enjoy.
Nothing to get upset about thanks anyhow

@@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS bro, i met him one time- in wisconin at an icp in-store. He was doing little interviews with people in line, he asked me a few questions.. This was 2000, or so.. i so wish i got a picture with him.
Loving your 'new' content btw- i remember emailing you a while ago- but im sure im not the only one who said you should make content like this- finally got me a motovan, hopefully bring the ol scoot down to cali sometime soon!
You forgot the internal torqure wrench😂

Amazing, the comfort of a hardtail with the looks of a softtail. This fucking sucks 😂
Your Vocabulary is vast

Funny as shit lmao
