Ok,..in my almost 50 years of biking and building Choppers I have never mounted the rear-fender as you just did. In my opinion only the other way around works and cut to length gives the mean look of a Chopper. A true Chopper starts with rubber in the Front and ends with rubber in the Rear 👍🏻✊🏻🇺🇸
Glad to see young people like you and your crew doing something constructive in your life, I was very impressed watching this video best hardtail set up ever made for the working man and women who wants to build a economical chopper style bike without breaking the bank, This is way better than a orange county or Jesse James model choppers that most people cannot ride for very long without having back surgery.
Beautiful video Matt. I70 outside of Denver where it looked like the whole interstate was dropped into that Gorge by Crane is one of my favorite spots traveling cross country.
@@danielroddenberry I suggest anyone that wants to do this should first put some struts on your sporty and ride it around for a month. Trust me you will regret it when your 55 and got no back left to ride.Or like after your first ride and your b1tch will say no more. If you still want to do it get a smaller wheel with a big fucking tire and run 5to10pound like all the classic choppers did and consider a good quality sprung seat. way to ruin a nice sporty surely It don't cost much more to buy a whole frame so you can go back and cheaper still buy someone else's because there will be plenty out there because no one wants them. Better off with a seperate bike to ride around the block consider you won't be riding to fast anywhere. You can do a great sprung tail chopper too your b1tch wont whining about her sore twot when get to the bikeshow..
Any video you Have about the chopper sportster helps just got my very first Harley it's been bord out to 1207 from an 883 and would love to turn it into a chopper
We only sell 5/16" for the cloth covered oil line, we made it work but tighter than you'd really want to use if you've got more than 12 hours to build your bike haha
did you mean VOES? it's a vacuum operated switch that tells the ignition system when to advance the timing. pretty important. some aftermarket ignition systems have advance built into the programming, and they will specify if VOES should be removed.
@ThrottleAddictionCo I only got about 30 minutes before I had to quit. I'll finish it! I'm going to be chopping my '96 1200 this winter. I'm getting some inspiration from this video to show me just how easy it'll be. Thanks for posting!
Awesome great to hear it! Let me know if you have any questions about our kit or anything else we can help with. Always good to have more hardtailed Sporty's on the road@@StarkeEnterprises
About the rear axel adjuster. Couldn’t you drill thru the threaded part on the frame and use the original adjuster with the nut on the ”inside”? Between the axel and the former threaded part….
In theory yes, but I'm not sure if the threaded portion coming off the original axel adjuster would line up correctly with the hole in our welded on axel adjuster bung. Why are you considering doing this?
Yessir, this is the same content from our four part build series, we are just reposting them as one long video so it's easier for people who are new to the channel to find
There's a dutch company that makes complete Softail frames for Sportsters, don't know anyone with experience who has used their stuff but here's the link: www.l-l-choppers.com/sportster-softail-frame/?lang=en
When when you put that mood before you put that motor in there and you welded it up when you took the motor out why didn't you just go have the frame painted stead of putting the motor and put in the front end on go take it for a ride then come back in tear it all apart again to go and paint it wouldn't it be
We just did that for the sake of seeing if we could go from a running bike to installing our hardtail kit back to a running bike in a single day. If we weren't doing that challenge we would've taken the opportunity to paint the frame
I know the end result would be a stunning bike to look at but seriously, why going back in technology with an all rigid rear frame? The suspension on the sportster is already low on travel and uncomfortable. Its just a way to ruin a motorcycle. But oh well..this is just my opinion.
so you can look like your riding a pan or an old shovel but the dependability of a sport and who doesnt like spending money on pain in the ass projects to look a little cooler ha
The guy in the Hawaiian shirt has a very weird way of speaking. He holds the last word in a sentence longer than every other word. I've heard a few people do it and wonder if they are even aware.
Has to be to worse idea ever ! You may not realize it but those shocks work and save your back and kidneys ! Clearly you boys don’t ride a lot . Soon as you cut that bike it’s ruined !
I personally ride a 2016 R1 but my first bike “ I still own “ was a 01 Sporty 1200 with over 100K miles and really can’t argue it’s only had oil changes and gaskets and I bought it with just under 10k miles so seems like a good bike. John what do you ride? Hmm… I’d like to know
@@NormalishGuy Right now i`m waiting for the rest of the snow to clear so i can get my recently purchased 2018 MT-10 out. The one i traded in my 2016 GSX-S1000 for. Oh, and a 2007 CBR600 RR trackbike. Almost forgot that one. Thought you`d look smart calling me out on not even having a bike, eh? Only to find out i have more bikes, BETTER bikes than you🤣 Going to my channel leaving stupid comments 😂 D*mbf**k🤡
i like how your kits have the rounded plates looks cleaner like a kr style 👌

That's pretty much what 70s chopper fenders looked like back in the day, my only thing is that they could of hugged the tire better.
@@theduckmeister1600 Sorry I just tried to be polite and point out how I do it since I think the fender shape looks better that way.
@@theduckmeister1600but should be possible for everyone to give his own opinion !
i think they were just throwing it togethor super fast to show how doable it is for a novice builder and sell hardtails
Great job guy's, good luck!!! Awesome product.

Building a chopper is one of my life goals. One day.
I've been saying "one day" for 15+ years. I made the jump this year. I'm finally going to do it. I think you should too!
Bike came out awesome just picked up an 02 883 and plan on using your kit and parts after watching this video
This is awesome! I would love to have this done to my sportster!
Give it a go mate,
DIY OR DIE DAWG
Great demo how your products fit to make this mod. Great work!👍
Awesome build looks and sounds great. Cheers from Down Under 👌🤘😎🇦🇺🍻
Mounting a hardtail is like asking for back issues unless you roll it off a trailer at Sturgis and throw dust on yourself to look cool.
Guess it’s a good thing you don’t have to ride it lol
Or ride it be a man 😂

@@missmygamergirl445 I own a 76 shovel I hard tailed and ride it 😂😂 I’m fine
@missmygamergirl445 softails aren't choppers. "I suggest 🤓..." I suggest you quit complaining, Grandpa.
Sportsters run forever, love mine
crazy how good ya's know your wiring.. great vid ya's proved your point 💪
@@Sbbkbb from philadelphia we type like we talk... ya's or you's 🤦♂️
Should include those motor mount bolts in your hardtail kit!
i don't like hard tails, back problems, but this one is amazing
You mounting engine before you paint the frame 😮
Awesome looking scooter great job 👍
Keep it between the mustard and mayo and rubber side down later GBU
Awesome product
The Easy Co sent me!
Thats badass
great stuff !!
Any video you Have about the chopper sportster helps just got my very first Harley it's been bord out to 1207 from an 883 and would love to turn it into a chopper
Cool love it
How do you know whe. Your fork bearings are bad? Will you feel a woble in the front end?
What size was that cloth covered oil line? Do you sell all sizes to do all the oil line over with that stuff?
We only sell 5/16" for the cloth covered oil line, we made it work but tighter than you'd really want to use if you've got more than 12 hours to build your bike haha
What was involved in using the throttle addiction max current air cleaner? The description online says for 2007 and up but this is a 2002 motor.
So what about 07/08 sportster 1200 EFI kits? Yall did offer the hard tail I know but what about barebones wiring for the 07/08 1200 EFI ?
I need a tear down video for a 99 dyna super glide please lol
Your work is fantastic. How to order it from you ? How much it costs ? I have no idea.
Thanks! You can shop for the Deluxe Hardtail kit and other parts we used on this build here: www.throttleaddiction.com/
I just need a sportster lol
What are the ups and downs of getting rid of your bose?
did you mean VOES? it's a vacuum operated switch that tells the ignition system when to advance the timing. pretty important.
some aftermarket ignition systems have advance built into the programming, and they will specify if VOES should be removed.
Need way more lighting in your shop!
Quick work!! I bet she is night and day difference in handling 🇺🇸🫡🤙🏽
Did i read the key correctly? Apol's Harley-Davidson? That's a lille under 2 hours from me. Where was this shop located?
Throttle Addiction's shop is in Eau Claire, Wisconsin

I want to buy that bike
If you really want to blow my mind is there a kick start conversation kit
They do make them we just haven't listed them on the site yet, email info@throttleaddiction.com and we can order one up for you if you're interested
Сток тоже крут !кому как !
At the price for the kit, I bought my entire bike!!! I can make my own rear section for a shit load less than $1700 US!!!
Pray for the riders kidneys.👀
Love it! Great job! Made that bike a BadAss.
💯🫵🏼👍🏼🫡👊🏼✌🏼🇳🇱

We call it Flagship since it's rocking our shop colors🔥

Harley's are the "Mr. potato Head" of motorcycles 😁
its not even painted
People in the comments, hating on hard tail conversions, must believe all bikes are only made for touring. 😂
Yuk tho

Man, ditch that background music!
Rear mudguard is god damn ugly!😢
Power tools
Who cleaned and put this bike together for them to take apart? no grease? I call BS.
In California it's against the law not to have blinkers.
Could have destroyed it with a hammer in 15 minutes. Result would be the same.
Better tittle : how to decrease the value of a motorbike in 12 hours !
Lets make an outdated bike even more obsolete...
😂😂😂 it’s 2023, you bought it a year ago which would of been 2022… what’s 2020 have to do with anything 🤔
Has to be to worse idea ever ! You may not realize it but those shocks work and save your back and kidneys ! Clearly you boys don’t ride a lot . Soon as you cut that bike it’s ruined !
You don't have much of a selecton
"Making the worst bike in the world EVEN WORSE"
There is no worse. At least a hard tail won't deathwobble at 45mph

I would take it over that Yamaha you’re riding any day of the week.
It’s still a sportster…… if you put lipstick on a pig doesn’t make it a HOG
Pointless...
What’s the point of life mannnnn?
Beautiful ass bike, where is the new battery located?
Literally ISN'T "stock" if it's a chopper. CHOPPER is rather self explanatory.....
