I work for Harley as a welder. I LOVE seeing how people take apart my work and make it their own. Keep at it!

[SaddleTrampTV]

I didn't know in the beginning stages that building bikes can be addictive. Since my first build, I've built two more. Now there's a hardtail frame for a bigtwin sitting in my garage just chomping at the bit to be built. Great video, man.

[BRskyfolls]

This is probably the most cool type of project that one can do, someday I wish to build a proper chopper

[HighonSkidRow]

Currently on my first bike. It’s an ‘03 shadow spirit. Been turning it into a “chopper” and I love the bike. I do however have aspirations of starting a HD chopper. I’m glad to of found your channel. The more info I can take in the better. Thought about buying a soft tail heritage and using it as my base. Thanks for the video man.

Dude, I'm not sure about your chopper building skills, I just discovered the channel but you are an exceptional communicator. You are succinct, clear and to the point, your upbeat energy and enthusiasm are infectious and the whole process seems more alike an exciting adventure than a daunting ordeal. You're good at this is all I have to say.

[franciscoturrillodubois]

Bro, you just did the best comprehensive guide to build a Chopper and your enthusiasm is contagious at best it can be. Keep on doing this interesting videos of your work. Next time in Miami will be a must to pay a visit. Be well and safe ride.

[Raymo-]

This is the video I’ve been waiting for. I have chopper on the brain lately. And I like the San Francisco old school look

[WitchcraftCycleWorks]

As someone who builds choppers, I enjoyed this video. You shared some good advice and tips.

[Cooolboy]

Awsome dude. Great work nice choppers! FTW

[LavendLady]

Dude, you are SO AWESOME for sharing all your wisdom with us in this video!! What a gem of a video. Thank you from the heavens. ⚡️🙏🏼

[PershingDragoon]

I so wanna learn how to just wrench on bikes at all. Building my own chopper would be a pipe dream. I gotta make some friends who have the knowhow and are willing to teach me how to wrench on bikes tho. Sigh, one day.

[LinuxHurts]

I LOVE choppers! Thank you for this, an excellent overview of the process from start to finish.

[Timrocks]

Fantastic vid! Quality content, well executed, succinct, and confidently delivered. Thanks! 🙏

[sonottiny]

i had no intention of ever building a chopper until i watched this guy, ,,cool dude

[aldogarcia]

Please Mr, help me build a chopper. I’ve wanted to ride one since I was a child and now is the perfect time

[NuclearSad]

The Platinum OG crossed out for engine parts was a nice touch

[RoyaleWitCheese]

Man this is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for this. I want to start building myself a chopper but I want one of those kick start motors though

[ridedownsouth]

Amazing advice, I'm halfway through the process

[Razor_n_scalpel]

Thank You. The video is apt, precise and richly informative.

Cant wait to get started. Just need this snow to melt
