I've never seen anyone remove the gussets and bracing material from a sportster frame before. Never thought about it being done. Turned out really good looking. Great job. New sub here.
Lots of cutting, grinding, scraping, and welding... and love the frame mods, especially the middle tube frame you added. I can’t wait to see the final product. 👀 👍
I was thinkin about adding a 1" or 2" bung in my downtube frame legs to increase the rake and this looks like everything I'll have to do to get to that point...lol Can't wait for the wiring harness video...
Ah, my weekly fix of Lnsplt doin' the job. Nice work Son. Couldn't help but think the chop would've been easier to do with the frame upsidedown. Then you flipped it for the cleanup. 😂
It is so satisfying to do all of the work yourself and keep all of that money, isn't it? Your frame is so much more esthetically pleasing now that steel wrap is gone, and the tubing is visible.
Nice! I spent about an hour, finding other stuff to do, last weekend,before I finally put the sawzall to the marks I had measured out, 30 times. I took that ugly kickstand mount off too. I picked up one of the sleeker ones from either Lowbrow, or TCBros. Can't remember which, at this point. If you guys want any more stickers from either of those guys, HMU, lol. Nice job on the bike!
I’m just starting out and I got an 03 sporty ....I love the hard tail look but also love the soft ail feel so I bought the slammer shocks for now ,,,,so far I did the sissy bar ,,,blacked out all the chrome ,,,solo seat ,intake ,,,and a few other small things ,,,I’m use to dirt bikes where if you got a stand you got a lift ,,with motorcycles it is a whole new bunch of items to buy and right now I’m trying to save as much as possible until I at least put a good couple thousand miles on it so it’ll hurt less
what is gusset for actually? Doesn't it add to the structural integrity of the frame, and won't you reduce that by grinding it off ? Or is a purely cosmetic thing that HD put on... new to this!
Living in a house like that in San Jose, (which is probably a million dollar house or more) none of the neighbors have called the HOA to complain. Cali people love to complain. I've lived in NorCal all my life.
Looking good. I always enjoy your vids as we are unable to modify bikes to this degree here with getting everything certified. Question tho, is the pillion seat on backwards? Anyway keep wrenching and I'll keep watching.
Shouldn't be an issue. Uses original HD paperwork, original VIN stays on the frame neck, DMV never knows what you did to your bike. That's probably the major reason people use the weld-on hardtail instead of buying a complete aftermarket frame. If you can get the aftermarket frame licensed in your state it's usually a big hassle and is labeled as a "special construction " instead of HD. Weld-on is quite a bit cheaper too.
Hey I have a great question for you. I am having a very hard time finding mounting bolts for my 2001 sportster. I did the Hardtail like you have. But I cannot find anywhere including the Harley dealer they will tell me what size mounting bolts for the top front of the motor. I have the stud but no nut. And no bolt for the other side. Also for the rear mounting bolts to the frame
What year sporty frame is this? I want to take the neck of my sporty 4-5 degrees and If I cut out all that junk covering the tubes it will be easier and look cleaner.
72 year old biker here, been building for 50 years. So nice to see a younger generation enjoying the art.

Subs of both u guys!! Love both your work!!!
Check out the eazy company videos. Think they have a couple videos where they do it. It a pretty common old school chop.
Hola, Amigo!
Fancy meeting you here, lol.
Look to old Triumph frames, and you'll find the roots of what he did, up by the neck.
Sweet the way you chopped that neck, came out streamlined. Keep chopping and wrenching it’s looking good.
Hey brother just wanted to stop and say you're good at what you do. I can tell this is truly your passion, keep up the amazing work.
That is incredibly brave. I really enjoy your work and the films you make.
Lots of work bro. Well done! Good to see for others wanna do the same mods to their bike. Step by step footage. Nice one!
Lots of cutting, grinding, scraping, and welding... and love the frame mods, especially the middle tube frame you added. I can’t wait to see the final product. 👀 👍
Very nice. Looking forward to seeing the complete build.
Looking really good and progress is coming along nicely. I really like these let's get to it episodes. Thanks for sharing.
Probably my favourite series you've done so far 🤘🤘🤘
Me encanta vuestras maquinas... pero lo que mas me gusta es vuestro buen rollo. Un abrazo desde España.
The guy with the mustache sounds like the voice of "one eternity later" 😂.
Bike is looking good!!!
Nice, clean work on the frame chop and welding. Looking good!
I love it!!!, I wish I was that confident in my fab abilities!!!! Truly making it your own!!!
Great video as usual, enjoying watching progress on bike😀👍

The best part of Monday is a new video

Been waiting for this ever since you posted on ig 😎

Making it look easy as always! Best vids
Was this mostly for looks? Because it does have that look now, just as strong but cleaner looking.
Nice work ... dig your videos ....
Haha its not me on the shirt! But might as well be!
Looking good. I always enjoy your vids as we are unable to modify bikes to this degree here with getting everything certified. Question tho, is the pillion seat on backwards? Anyway keep wrenching and I'll keep watching.

What welder are you using man ? Love the build so far !
Cool. Top work.👍 Greetings from germany 🤘
Dude.. that pointing finger looks pretty Knarly!
dont ask me for directions! hahaha
Where'd you get the engine mount from? I like the minimalist look of it as opposed the big bulky one that's on there
Dang bro ! Diablo Run is the best, take a bunch of video videos f that Tripp! I wish I can do the Diablo Run too , good luck with the chopp chopper !
Freaking auto correct, videos f Tripp was done by you tube autocorrect, sorry bro
Are you able to register a bike like this now that the frame has been really modified? Asking because I did the same to my sporty
bike is already registered and the vin numbers are still on the neck

Gotcha. Thanks guys

You rockin it!
Which angle grinder blades did you use each step for this?
Looks good brother
Nice move on the frame.

Hi ! I hope that we get to see cool riding video of the El Diablo Run.
you sir are braver than i
Cheers!
How did you mount the caliper in between the hardtail frame?
Nice 👍 I have always wanted a quality video on this job. Ooooo $50 lmao
Is there a way to hardtail a bike without chopping the frame. ??
Great bike builds. Love ur content.
Sorry senior moment
Bro, I love your videos. However, this is the first time that I have noticed, but your witch's finger freaks me out alittle lol!
What kind of welder are you working with?
Looks good
great build!
How is your relationship with the neighbors ;)
lol so far so good
Excellent!!!
This is bad ass
So dope!
What welder do you use for your frames?
Sweet man.
Hard to tell but will your chain clear the battery box bracket? and /or the stock battery?
I'm sure it will, but if not, i'll fix it. That's why its just tacked welds right now
nice job
🍻
👍👍👍👍👍
Tell me do is the bike longer, shorter or the dimensions of the frame is sameish?
That sporty is looking good ! How is your buddy coming along with his bike that he said would be ready by EDR ?
waiting for parts lol
How many times in one build do you pull the motor and put it back? After the second time...me and my hernia would have to quit.
Too many lol
Cheers 🍻
Nice !
We want one bike in one part
👍
Maybe I missed something why would you remove frame reinforcement hoping you will replace it with more?
For the old school frame look
That one dislike must ride a bagger
That a mid tunnel peanut tank?
Nice brother wow 😮😮👍
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Get a bullet metal box ! For the battery
