Awesome Job , the captain American bike is with out a doubt the coolest bike on the planet

Awesome bike!! Thanks for the inspiration!! I'm having one built, and it should be finished in the beginning of 2022. I'm using a drum brake on the front wheel as well. If it's not enough stopping power, I'll change to a disc brake like you did. My all time favorite bike ever built. I was blown away in 1969 when I saw the movie for the first time, and Peter Fonda rode the bike from behind the shack. Fifty two years later, and my dream is coming true. Thanks again!!

I couldn't see the best video today, the music, The Captain America, Easy Rider, Dennis, Jack, and Peter, who's third. 👍 For this bike I put some fishtail exhausts on mine.

Best looking bike hands down nice job

In 1969 I was in Junior high, and I was an avid plastic model builder. Being a model builder meant I had tons of parts from other models, because back in their heyday extra parts were included in the kits, if there were two ways it could be built. Sometimes there was the "stock" version, and the "custom" version, for both cars and motorcycle models. So after seeing the movie, Easy Rider, I wanted to build some motorcycle models, that resembled those bikes. I did everything back then, custom paint, pin striping, taped off parts, with stencils, to get the "look' just right. Most motorcycle models weren't designed to be turned into "choppers", with the extended long front forks, or to have "sissy bars, behind he seats. I custom made all those parts, from the plastic "framing" that held the all the parts, until assembly. Cut them apart and spray painted with silver paint to get them to look like chrome, was the way to go. I custom painted the gas tank, in Red, White & Blue, to match the Captain America bike. I used to enter my other creations in local model builders competitions, as well. I'd added "flock",...a kind of fiber, that could be glued to the plastic car seats, to make them look like they had velvet or velour, upholstery. I'd make exaggerated shifters, from bent straight pins. I created wide and tall, "slicks",..special tires, for "Funny Cars". I'd use the plastic caps from spray paint cans, paint them to look like over sized tires, combined with chromed, "moon" type hubcaps.I worked with special putties, to create customized fenders, or to streamline the bodies. One particular VW Beetle model I built, won me an award, and mention in a local newspaper. I radically customized the fenders, made those larger tires from the caps,....I set an engine into the front end, with a "blower" air intake, protruding from the top of the hood, ( implying there was an engine in the front, instead of the rear.) Painted the whole thing a dazzling bright yellow. By time I was high school, I had moved on from that hobby, but I decided to become an artist, and I pursued that in college, and grad. school. And I became one. I built custom furniture, I was also a print maker, and I taught art at the college level.

Never seen this with the cut outs, thank you!❤

Already commented on the movie, but damn the rest of your video is way more legit... song selection is epic during a capt. 🇺🇸 build.

My favourite bike of all time, has been since I saw the movie when it first came out, not fussed about the Billy bike, but Captain America just blew my mind, everything about it just looks perfect in my eyes 👀, you guys shudda made the forks longer and fitted a drum brake on the front wheel instead of the disc brake, other than that, she’s awesome guys. Now, how much are yah lookin fer er??? lol 😂

Perfect job amigo

Fricking badass bike!!!

Great job, guys 👍. Billy’s bike, now ?

Stunning bike man, gorgeous. I moved to Italy and found out 'you not allowed to customise bikes here'. Police will confiscate your bike. And they do. I just had to put my Bobber back to stock to avoid losing it! LMAO! Your bike is my God man. Love from Italy.

Very nice Man! Captain America...my dreambike.

Sweet...

Captain Chaotic Good😁👍

I'm going to 'assume' this was filmed in Australia "Stralia"? Nice build regardless of where it was done, sounds good too. I left a 'Thumbs up', a sub, and a tap on the bell, hope to see more of your work. Thanks for sharing.

Just fuckin beautiful

Lots of critics here, there have been lots of replicas built and they nearly all have front brakes and the rake is different to the original because Peter Fonda has said that the original was terrible to ride. And to the comment that you should have used a drum on the front, the original didn't have a front brake at all. Yeah I've researched this pretty well because I'm building one myself but it will be a look alike but practical, Evo motor and discs both ends. Well done.

so freeken cool

Yeah I got a 52 Panhead easyrider replica and front

Jim Leonard built the most-accurate ER replica machines.

NICE BATES Headlight 😀g

It's all in the details and it doesn't matter how long it takes to find all the right parts, if I built that exact bike I would've passed on the Captain America paint job.

What’s that? Oh that’s the traveling Mime Troupe stage. Man ya get much rain around here?

WOW look how fast they are must be up to nearly 30mph scary shit man

NEEDS THE OLD PANHEAD MOTOR

What about an S&S Panhead crate motor

Just for curiosoty sake what was your ballpark total cost?...I'm kind of considering a strange project similar.

Cool !! What is tail lamp? I need exactly the same :) Thank You for help

THE BIKE WAS THE SPIRIT !!!!OF AMERICA ? Peter Fonder WAS Capn AMERICA 😳g

Bon choix, shooooooooper. Le parcours impossible au-dessus d une rivière et sous ses arbres Attaques mont printemps et sortie d ève Un autre placement Splendide sans rouille et tant de bain pour ce cheval ou cette parfaite jument Un gros scarabée volant Et bons ☁️ Have a good ride !

and what is the tank brand, how many gallons :) please help :)

Does this get ridden? Haven’t seen it on the road around Adelaide. I ride a late model softail chopper, would be cool to go for a ride with the owner sometime.

That bike is so cool! Don't think I couldn't stand the handlebars being so high tho, hate the headlight and chromed frame too, nor would I like the front of the engine that jacked up and out of balance, but yea gonna build my own Clapton America, cuz now more than ever America's freedom is disappearing and will soon be gone for good!

How much?

FAIR PLAY m8 But DISCS !!!and A MODERN ENGINE ???BUT Well Done !!!😀g

Hi there: I really appreciate a fine piece of machinery. And this is definitely something I could see myself riding. But I am thinking along the lines of a trike with the same color set contrast.So how may I contact you for your advice on this issue. And address and phone number for the shop.

Hey David Smith can you build another Captain America Chopper the Easy Rider I am looking for one and I'm willing to pay good money for it

le le pognon ça s'attrape la liberté ça se gagne STW

I saw in1969 was getting out of Marine corp first thing I was divorce the wife nd bught a Bike and went Louisians and visited another Marine was drunk for A week

Starts at 3:57

Ghost rider brought me here

billy dude

Что в кино, что в ролике - так и не понял - как на нём сидеть.))))

How's it handle?

Missing the dogbone risers.

Actually the "Captain American " is the most famous Motorcycle ever built. It just happens to be a Chopper designed by Pete Fonda and built for the Movie.

3:57 the build starts

Where is the pan an had no front Fender on it

i can asure you,ya bikes just 97% right,but missing one thing.peter fonda told me.that nearly all replicas miss this one thing.

ТИБЕ ИДОЬТ 👍👳👍👏

Bars & risers are different & why the disc & drum brake on rear wheel

у капитана америки небыло спидометра, для особенно непонятливых подумайте зачем он выкинул ручные часы в самом начале, в этом суть той истории.

It was a pan head?

Truly a work of art -but not my style . I'm more of the classic Harley heritage ,V Rod style .

Nice try but the original was a Panhead with a mousetrap assisted clutch and a spool hub up front , no brake .

Call me David I sure would appreciate it

Jack lol

Once you said you used a shovel instead of a pan my heart fell. Sorry, just sayin'

This is not same bike.

Nice bike, but hope this isn't called a "replica". There are so many things wrong with this bike. Maybe it's a "replica" just not an "exact replica".

The tank is what made the bike famous, and you blew it, not even mention it, in the build. guess you didn't paint it or you would have mentionded or shown it beeing done. lot of wires and hoses, but no paint, on the greatest bike ever built.

Disappointed you used a shovel head engine rather than a panhead though....(I do love shovels but not for this bike, makes it a tribute rather than a replica) I'll not mention the other little differences. A nice job nevertheless. I am an ex owner of a replica (with a front brake lol) which I sold on 2021..... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mKmhgtuDsrjXe3U.html&lc=Ugzd6VHEt5iSsqmm7R54AaABAg

I want to be the one who blows them right off the fuckin road like at the end of the movie.....DAMN HIPPIES. NOT MY MY TOWN

Ñññññññññññññññ

Somebody ask Hardy or Vaughn witch one of U's screwed up the rake trail on two Capt. America bikes!? been building customs 50 yrs. I've never heard anyone who could build chop's point out whoever built the most iconic chopper ever built knew nothing about basic bike geometry a total FAIL. jUST LOOK AT THE NECK AND RAKE TRAIL...TELL ME I'M WRONG. Oh yeah but "look at the shine".......mo roons mo rons Hey at least your Capt. A bike is ridable but the original Hardy and Vaughn bike Si El Junko!

WOW not a panhead ,wrong risers on the handlebars ,seat is way off overly big,tail light isn't the same even with all the pictures in the world how do you get so much wrong !

If your not going to do it and try to be somewhat faithful to the original…..Why bother!!!! Sorry but it’s kind of a Captain America like substance!!!!!

Not a shovel.....

you used a shovel? Its the wrong engine. Both chops were panheads. Total fail.
