I 100% agree and back you when you say “I build for myself and not for the next person”. So many people always criticize of doing mods that are irreversible like chopping the rear stays and so on with “It may lose it’s value…” To who? NOT me. I pretty much have to tell them to mind their own business and kick rocks. Nice ride bud, you’ve made it YOURS.
I just saw the video. I am purchasing a 48 and plan on doing something similar tank lift,, fatter, rear tire, drag bars, sick exhaust a shorty rear fender
Great looking bike for sure! I LOVE the chopped frame and eventually I’ll have the guts to do mine lol. As far as I’m concerned nothing you did decreases the bikes value, ton of sportsters out there with untouched frames but I think it looks great chopped. Love the drag bars also, the seat? I’m on the fence with- I like them sitting in the frame (I know, not very comfortable) and I would add LED lights all the way around. Love it so far
Thanks for watching! The bike was actually uncomfortable with the drag bars and the seat you see in the video. But I changed it to a bigger one and now it’s extremely comfortable! Let me know if you ever chop yours up 🎉
Se ve genial, lo que importa en una transformación o cambio de piensas en una moto, no es lo que los demás digan si no lo que tú pienses de los cambios, dejando de lado todo eso te quedó re linda la moto.
That’s one great thing about a motorcycle, you can actually make it yours. What you want to do with your bike is up to you, screw the haters. Nice looking bike bro.
looks great, next up - tank lift, relocate coil and ignition plus wire tuck under tank if you havnt already (seeing this video is almost a yr old). Thing is looking bad ass. Wish I could run those wide of tires on mine but Ive got a bobbed out 883.
Solid effort, man. The rear fender has always ruined the look of Harley's in my opinion. I guess it was part of the subframe for taking a pillion. You have just cleared this up for me, so many thanks!
Dope work for your first Harley!!! Got my dyna almost a year ago and barely done just the easy stuff.. grips, bolt on extras, & etc..I'm pretty inexperienced lol
Nice changes. I do like what you did. Way to customize and make it unique. I would love to see a mini rear fender, the drag bars go away and put like some 14” mini apes. Also the Vance’s and Hines short shots look and sound nice for an exhaust upgrade
If it were my bike as it is now i would get the front attachment point of thatseat closer to the frame, and thicken the seat lower that seat profile, wrap the pipes done
Nah man love a bobber look. Im caught between a forty eighty or a triumph bobber for my bike. But il be doing my own thing on mine to get it how i like. Love vids like this gives me ideas 👍
@@jpht.adventures super dope! Those look like Shinko 777 tires. Their item description says “Paul Yaffes big wheel performance srt kit is required for install.” Did you use such a kit?
Yes sir, the wire harness from the turn signals and license plate lights were attached to it. I just zip tied all the loose wires and tucked it under the seat.
Hey what are the measurements inside to inside on the rear shock mounting holes? I’m in the process of doing the rear strut chop but curious about measurements as mine got laid down and the left side is slightly bent inwards at the tail end
Great job, brother. I love the way it looks, just need some drag pipes, and you should be good. lol, btw i recognized the area, so I hope to run into you someday with my sportster.
Some may say you did ruin the value, I say you probably increased it as Harley is all about being different and most of all being feeling that "Freedom". I take a look at your bike and word "Feedom" def comes to mind. thx for sharing.
First time I've seen a video that you was able to change a tyre to a wider tyre I thought the frame would need changing. Can you perhaps make a video with your knowledge on that. Love from UK.
Does the seat add more hight to the bike? Was always curious as it looks like the bobber seat would take you feet of the ground if your a shorter person
is all about enjoying live and thats exactly what you doing.
Enjoying live it is, but you are far from a technician. But enjoy.

I'm going to save this video to do the same with mine. Your bike is wonderful. It's what I always wanted

@@jpht.adventures hey what’s up bro how big did you go on the back tires an front
Don't wait, do yours tomorrow! Never been a better time than right now!
It looks good. You build it the way you like it.
I have a 2017 48 that I have custom. A 170 rear will fit with no problem ?
Yup, I have a 170 rear on the stock wheels. Honestly think it can go wider
Add your custom fender and it ties everything in. Nice ride!

I would love to go 180. Wish I could show you my 2017 48. It’s pretty nice
That’s one great thing about a motorcycle, you can actually make it yours. What you want to do with your bike is up to you, screw the haters. Nice looking bike bro.
Appreciate the kind words, happy holidays to you brother!
Thank you, Happy holidays!

Can you send me the list what you buy
You did a great job now I will do the same buddy
You just made me become a “Bobber” fan…❤️
Now this is what im the talking about. Someday will have my mods to my 48. Shout out from the Philippines 🇵🇭! Ride safe Bro
Dope work for your first Harley!!!
Got my dyna almost a year ago and barely done just the easy stuff.. grips, bolt on extras, & etc..I'm pretty inexperienced lol
As long as you’re enjoying the bike, doing what you can and learning along the way. Then you’re doing great!
I got forty eight too great job bro looking awesome
What a great bike! Have to hopp on a ride now, have a great day.
Brother what a beautiful bike have some ideas for myself but tis was great
Looks great, but i would cut the rear fender and mount it on, i think it could look better with short fender.
Agreed, that was the plan but wasnt sure I was going to chop the rear frame more in the future
U only live once brother! Do what u gotta do.. ride safe👍

Right on! If you watch my more recent videos I did all that 🤘
Looks absolutely amazing bro 🔥🔥
great job man quick and clean
Awesome build what kind of slipons are those please
They’re the stock set
Somebody is very in love with 48,good job✌️
If you find you don't like it, I'll buy it off you! Maybe some short black pipes..? Looking for my first one right now, actually!
Did you have to weld end caps to the rear part where you cut it
Looks dope dude, make it your own 🤙🏼
Nah man love a bobber look. Im caught between a forty eighty or a triumph bobber for my bike. But il be doing my own thing on mine to get it how i like. Love vids like this gives me ideas 👍
Thanks for watching! Triumph is a great platform that I'd love to build on one day. Can't go wrong with either 🤙
Looking great brother
Nice build bro. What is the specs on the tires? I wanna do thesame on mine but more aggressive thread .
Great job man !!! What exhausts do you have in this video?
Great looking bike
Nice job bro, what for a air filter you have?
Thanks! And it's just the stock cone filter that I painted the face black
Nice work dude
Bike is yours brother...I'll watch a lot to do the same if you don't mind...LOOKS HOT...
Nice..! Love the idea using your helmet while cutting.. 😀
Looks great. Great job so far.
Nice work…. Is there a follow up to what you did next?

Thank you!
Looks amazing! Great job!
Thank you! Still a work in project, thanks for checking it out!
Add a tank lift it would have a mean look
Hello what is the exact wheel size for front n back I just bought a 48 and wanted to do 150 front n 170 rear
The wheels are the stock 16’s but the tire specs are
170/70-16 75H, REAR
150/80-16 71H, FRONT
@@jpht.adventures super dope! Those look like Shinko 777 tires. Their item description says “Paul Yaffes big wheel performance srt kit is required for install.” Did you use such a kit?
@@reubenloganiii nope! Just swapped them from the stock tires
@@jpht.adventures awesome, thx!
Looks awesome man!!!
Great Looking bike Peter. Where can I buy that bobber seat? I love the look and want one for my Forty Eight
Here you go!
amzn.to/3pSNAfE
Love the "uncovered - free wheels" look!
Good job!
Its the only way i would ride a Harley too 💪
I know this was a long time ago, but did you buy new tubes with the tires? What size for the 170?
Solid job!
You made that look easy and it looks mint👍🏼
Thanks for watching!!
Did you shorten your brake and clutch lines
When you took the rear fender off was anything mounted to it ? Did you have to reroute any electrical
Yes sir, the wire harness from the turn signals and license plate lights were attached to it. I just zip tied all the loose wires and tucked it under the seat.
@@jpht.adventures right on my friend im about to chop my amber whiskey 2014 883 and your video helped. Thanks for making it. Safe travels bro
Did a great job brother!! Thank you for sharing:)
Thanks for watching!
Super good job
Is there anything structural about those pillars you cut off?
Looks awesome 👍🏻
Other than the seat looking a little high for my preference, bike looks amazing bro
I agree with the seat, that's why its been changed to a lower profile one! Check out my other new videos if you want to check it out!
How did you make a wider rear tyre without changing the back end. ? Was there just enough space ?
Just enough 🤘 c
Do you still have the headlight faring?
you did awesome! beautiful machine!
Thanks for taking your time to checking out the build!
the bike is great man! great job.
Nah love seating like to see stringer forks 26 wheels front an back
Looking real nice, gonna do the same to mine.
Thanks! Got another video coming out tomorrow! 🤘
@@jpht.adventures
I'll look forward to seeing that.
Great modifications! Cheers
Great job, now looks amazing 🤩
Looks badass homie
Appreciate it!
I got an 07 xl883 little by little it will get there
I'll like to know where to get that spring seat and what are your thoughts about the concort.
I got it off Amazon but I'd recommend getting the single seat bobber from Harley. Much more comfortable. Watch my later videos of that seat installed
Will do, thanks 👍
how long do the drive belts last?
Don’t dig the rear, drag style is what I want, maybe 1”z .. I would prefer a slight finder on the rear.. bigger balls than I have to start chopping
Looks good!
Perfection…. I would add short rear fender
Whats a good mileage when considering on buying a harley like that one ?
One of the best videos on such a topic. Great content man!
Hey what are the measurements inside to inside on the rear shock mounting holes? I’m in the process of doing the rear strut chop but curious about measurements as mine got laid down and the left side is slightly bent inwards at the tail end
Unfortunately I sold the bike to check for you. But I'm sure if you call your local Harley Dealer they'll help you out with measurements
@@jpht.adventures thank you, appreciate the response man
Would those tires fit under the stock fenders? Or did you have to remove them to fit?
they look like they fit, because it put them back on in a later video.
Was it the same rims you put the new tires on.? (Front 150 and Rear 170)
Yup, they still fit on the factory wheels!
@@jpht.adventures Great. And the same profil.? 150/90/16 front 170/80/16 rear.
What size tyres did you fit?
Good job.
Great job, brother. I love the way it looks, just need some drag pipes, and you should be good. lol, btw i recognized the area, so I hope to run into you someday with my sportster.
Jack the tank up to 2 or 4 ich.
I just upgraded to a bigger tank. Check out the latest video!
Change the seat, and put the rear fence 😊
Nice bike!! How did you relocate the license plate.? Thinking of bying my first bike and the 48 looking awesome🤙
I did a swing arm mount to the rear axles. Let me know if you have any questions about the bike 👍
Some may say you did ruin the value, I say you probably increased it as Harley is all about being different and most of all being feeling that "Freedom". I take a look at your bike and word "Feedom" def comes to mind. thx for sharing.
Yes sir! I have the mentality of building for yourself and not the next person.
Thanks for watching!
What is a hard changing the handlebar to a drag bar
Very straightforward and easy 🤘
Looks awesome!🙌🏼 can’t wait until I can build my own!
Thanks for watching!
You still got the seat that you removed?
Sold it locally
Looking good brother 👌
Where your shop???
No shop, just out of my garage!
Great to watch

Does the seat add more hight to the bike? Was always curious as it looks like the bobber seat would take you feet of the ground if your a shorter person
Curious, how much did you pick this up for?
Nice look
Looks awesome bra
Great job bro. Looks cool. I will do the same in the future. Keep improving it! 😎👍🏽
Any problems with the tire sizes being bigger?
So far so good, but mini apes or z-bars would be better than the drag bars IMO.
Your first Harley and you bobbed it out that killer and you did a fantastic job by the way I'm a new subscriber to your Channel
Thanks! Check up my IG @justpeterhengthings
It looks much different now haha
