This bike has a soul. Someone loved that thing.

I rode a bike so similar to that for 5 yrs. everything broke eventually and once it was all fixed, it would start breaking all over again. It taught me so much about how to survive on a bike that would try to kill you every other week. I had the clutch cable snap once and shot me across 4 lanes of traffic. No front brake of course. Finally the frame cracked at the tree at 40 mph and I skidded to a stop holding on to just the front end. That was the day My bike and my underwear died. I still miss that bike lots. It could take any amount of water off the road and strategically place every drop down the crack of my ass. Now I’m on a slim with suspension and brakes, nice but not nearly as exciting. Great review. Brought back good memories.

"How to fall in love with a bike that wants to kill you" Trust me, I once dated a girl like that

It’s gonna get you: Tickets Women Stuck/stranded in the middle of nowhere

Need that clutch on my bike. Even out my arms.

You're gonna get an arm like quagmire had when he found out about internet porn

Anyone can buy a new bike, a true rider can keep old bikes running. Love this!!

Weight: Less than a horse Horsepower: Enough to make a man of you. 😂

Ah man that bike brought back memories!! I just got out of the service. I purchased a 1949 Panhead, tank shift in a 47 Knucklehead frame. Rode that bike for almost 10 years all over California, Nevada and Arizona. Eventually I sold it to my younger brother and bought a brand new FXDX. My body with all its injuries needed something with a suspension. Anyways great video!!! Thanks for sharing and your right. Those types of bikes aren’t for everyone but you certainly know your riding something no one else has or can ride!!

"The bike handles great, in the sense that it doesn't". Best comment ever. Long live the chopper

Iv been ridding for over 30 yrs none of my bikes wanted to kill me I rode a horse that wanted to kill me 😳

A cobbled together Kit Bike (Kit with an Sh) but Sean had me cracking up the whole time. He was so funny trying to come up with a positive spin on all the poorly laid-out designs. I watched the entire mini series and they really took care of the new owner. Lessons learned the hard way all the way around.

It’s going to get you 30-45 minute conversations every time you stop for gas weather you want them or not. 😬

That Bike should be called "Drago" From Rocky, and everytime you mount it a hidden speaker plays "if he dies he dies"

I keep coming back to this video. Nicest bike you guys have had so far :) Would love to live over there in the US, you guys seem to have a wealth of old chops around.

OMG this narrative is pure genius. Best monologue I’ve ever head and damn funny. If I was told this was scripted, I would have to say it took years to master the timing and philosophy that went into it and yet in reality it could only come from a life of experience. I could not stop laughing because every point made was soooo true and accurate and… all while taking a test ride! Amazing.

it gets you hemorrhoids and a Intervertebral disc damage right after you went deaf. That are my three favorites.

I have two motorcycles in my garage, and I am drooling over the idea of getting another. But, how many can I ride? All of em would be fine with me! Point is, Sean is livin the dream! He's got a lot of bikes in his garage, he gets to ride em all, he gets to bless people with great bike deals, he gets to bless us with great videos, and he gets a successful livelihood in return! Livin the dream, man!

I choose not to show up at certain places becouse my bike didn,t make it..that quote is priceless dude..I LOVE IT..Thx 4 sharing...God Bless

“But those places are dumb” BEST commentary on a bike EVER! 🤣 I have one of these bikes and you NAILED IT! Great channel. Keep up the good work!

If you build them right, you won't be walking home. There are so many things I could do to that bike to make it better and dependable. Gotta love the old choppers, that's for sure.

A long long time ago when i was nineteen, I rode a ‘47 knuckle rigid frame. No front brake, suicide clutch, slap stick shifter next to my left thigh, rear brake pedal return spring missing, front end raked out so far that if you let go of the bars at slow speed, the front wheel wanted to flop to one side or the other. I had to leave a baking pan under it when parked in my girlfriend’s garage so that the oil that leaked out of it wouldn’t stain the floor. If you knew the right procedure it would start on the first or second kick. It was so cool. I look back now and think how lucky I was to survive riding it. I also know that when you’re nineteen you can ride a rigid and it’s cool but at this stage of life, I’ll pass.

Love the hilarious talk/taunts while riding the bike!! 😆

Dying is part of living, at least this way we're having fun in between.

#3 - surgically-fused lower lumbar vertebrae

Running a dry clutch isn't the issue with the cable. Somethings out of adjustment or that cable needs replaced.

I thoroughly enjoyed you4 tongue-in-cheek review of riding this bad ass bike... I couldn’t turn it off. Really enjoying your vids... the Rune was interesting as well. Keep em coming!

Awesome video! This is my life, too! Keep making great videos!

That’s the best explanation of life with a stripped bobber is like. Getting home is the reward! Thumbs up.

Personally i love how bikes like this look.. my style 100%

Great assessment Shaun.

I never like watching bike vids, but this one nailed it brother! You got me laughing, you got me knodding my head in regards to bike life. I'll be watching for others.

That's how to rate a bike " If I didn't die during the test it gets a thumbs up" :-) Great review as always.

Love the passenger foot pegs. Sure, hop on, I’ll give you a ride.

Awesome video! Subscribed👍

About to get my first hardtail. Absolutely love your write up on this. A way of life. For sure.

Hardtail + S&S = Perfection.

Quite possibly the best motorcycle review I've ever seen 😆

LOL That's the best commentary I've ever heard while reviewing a bike! I want one just like that!

This is by far your best video ! So funny! Thanks!

Never really "fell in love" with any of my bikes .. although I did have a GSX250 back in the 80's that I was quite enamoured with as it was just "that good" but did have a 250X7 that tried its best to kill me on several occasions. I SWEAR to this day that bike was possessed by something downright evil I considered having it exorcised on more than one occasion. My younger brother PESTERED me to sell it to him for months so in the end I gave in and let him have it for a good price three weeks later a guy did a "U turn in his path as he was coming through at WARP and he buried it straight into the side of the car. He went partially through the windshield with his right arm ripping his wrist apart and severing the artery then was ripped back out and thrown with momentum over the bonnet and on up the road like a rag doll coming to rest with multiple broken bones and claret everywhere. His mate on the back of the bike hit the back of his helmet with his testicles on the way over him as he was thrown into the air and burst one of them as it impacted he also landed in a big mess. When I initially bought that bike it was written off with a bent front end and smashed front wheel and as such I got it cheap but that was the third time it had been in a bad smash in the hands of the same owner. He re framed it and rebuilt it with new forks and front wheels handlebars tank etc. The last time it happened some dumb blonde reversed out of her drive as he came barreling around the corner he had no chance of stopping and went straight into the back and was thrown over the car sustaining a broken arm/wrist two fingers and a broken leg in three places ... she got out of the car and screamed at him "Look what you've done to my car (facepalm). I rebuilt the bike with yet another new frame/forks front wheel headlight indicators front mudguard and tank from a donor I picked up real cheap and that bike tried its VERY best to wipe me out on SEVERAL occasions how the hell I got out of some of them I'll never know but there you have it, some bikes have a soul and personality all of their own this one was Evil incarnate somewhere along the way it picked something up that shoulda stayed dead and buried ... true story.

Congrats.. on your bobber man.. F#!K 'n love it 😎 Feel like a bad ass every time you start it!!🤘 4/s... just awesome!!

Best bike i've seen on here in awhile. Thanks for sharing.

Great video !

I grew up riding bikes like this, and I love it

Exactly how I feel about my classic cars. Anyone can get in their Prius worry free and know it’s going to get them home but every time I start my ride there’s a small part of me that knows something might not work and I might be performing road side surgery all night. Haha

man awsome bike and well made video!

I love this test ride. Great commentary

I haven’t ridden a bike in a long time. This make me wanna ride again

Is that frame from Precision Frameworx in Calgary, Alberta?

Love these videos quality could listen to this guy all day entertaining

you don't have to use clutch to up shift or down, only time you need clutch is when you stop and shifting into first gear

" the door to freedom and the door to dissapointment " 😂😂😂

Best bobber review I've ever watched.

Dude from srk that is the truest motorcycle video you've ever made those are the type of motorcycles I drove most of my motorcycling career that's what it's all about true ameraucana

Oh man you had me laughing this is my Harley 100 % thanks dude

you have to be able before you build/ride one of these "choppers". which is why it this way because who ever built it did so for his self, the only add on that most won't have is the electric starter put a kick starter on it and it'd be complete and true to it's form. you'll also need a good back to ride a hardtail frame like this. nice bike and good review that was also truthful .

Theory enjoyed that ride 👊🏻😎 Thank you

Just discovered your channel few days ago. Had I seen this video when it dropped, I would of been up there to pick this up in a hear beat.

#3 a ridiculously strong ( like been single for 8+ months ) left hand.

You really had me curious what the third thing that bike was gonna give you until you said "I dont know...that's for you to figure out."

U r the man we really appreciate

I have a '76 AMF Super Glide 1200cc. so i can appreciate the love/hate relationship. i dont know whether i love to hate it or if i hate to love it. +1 sub 👍

3rd thing it gets you, left hand carpal tunnel.

He felt that shit from the heart ❤️

Love It !! Got one close to it, 2" up with a 45 degree rake 21" front and 200mm rear. Wideglide front end @ 2 over stock. Big difference is the air ride seat.... stock SnS Evo. Very dependable....

Awesome video! Hope you guys record the delivery of the bike when the owner gets it. 👍

I dig it. Reminds me of an interview with the forever lovely Ann Margret about 20 years ago... "Not a question of if you fall but when". ok, she'd crashed, recovered and rode again. Every bike can kill you. why my 'mom' never let me buy one ;)

That bike is as ridiculous as it is awesome. Perfect combination!

Number 3 , Respect , from any guy that knows , and I mean that's all the guys that actually know that 99% of guys just can't cut it on a bike like that , in my day I rode tank shift anything , with suicide trike clutch not even the easy rocking clutch on stock tank shifters , the beauty was 99% of guys knew there's no way they could even leave the driveway without stalling and being laughed at , so you just got that bit of Respect as a real biker , cheers big ears

Your a hero.... I felt that my old Porsche broke down 4/5 times that one time I get groceries and make it home everyone looking is smiling your smiling people stop there busy rushed day and hang up there phones just to watch it move that's how old bikes are these things bring people together yo

I would say about the clutch, its so massive that it had to be because of the compression of that huge engine , it had to be heavy. It had to be huge. The specs of the engine requires it to be like that. It AINT for sissies. Its a Mans Bike! A REAL MANS BIKE!!!

The dude who bought it won't have any problems with that clutch. Big guy.

I love it! It's badass!👍😎

Love this machine! Nothing better than somebody putting personality into a machine!

"It just so happens, that one of those places my bike isn't making it to.... is court." 10/10

This was by far my favorite vid of yours! And you're totally right! Court and PTA are just DUMB! 🤣

I had a 53 Harley hardtail chopped. Yea you arrived when it wanted you to get there. No springs front, rear or seat. I loved that ride.

Love that bike! I have a 57xla ironhead. On a 70s stretched, lowered rigid. Raked to China. 9' wheelbase. Springer. My bike makes you pay attention to EVERYTHING around you.

Coolest bike there!

Tetanus and or dead.... I love the bike! I’m currently building a 73’ cb750 bobber

My Man Love it !Bikelove

Seriously man....don't know if you've tried your hand at WRITING but the way you tell a story is excellent. For real. You put it together about this bike and it all made sense.

Guy who made the first hardtail showing it to his buddy "Well Its like a Iron Head but it's now called an Iron BUTT" Cos trust me you'll need one !

Early teens were silly... black/red/white silly. It probably cost, back in the day, 10 times the value it held... cool bar hopper, though... 🤘🏻💀⚡️

Great video and I love the bike, the guy who bought it is a great guy too, I can`nt imagine doing a 4 hr stint on that thing its gotta be a back killer? well after 4hrs maybe.... yeah theres a few things you could do but thats personal choice , there a few nice ideas on the bike, I like the gauge position and the starter , personally I like classic flames I`d have the tank done old skool. keep em coming this stuff is the real thing for me , stick the fake t.v where the sun don`t shine. Great channel I was happy to find it.

I had a 1991 FXSTC open BDL it’s not that stiff. Cable is dry or routed wrong. Finally fished the 91 and gave it to my dad. He doesn’t ride long distances anymore, so it fits his style. It’s in my videos if you want to check it out.

think it is more valuable than your selling price the guy who bought is a lucky one it is a good bike runs perfect

You could have lubricated that clutch cable. I heard it crunch like frosted flakes. I bet it loosen a lot if you just did that.

Gotta love the solo springer seat, bobbed rear fender...and passenger pegs. Good luck, passenger haha. I do love how unique it is though.

Very nice looking and i like the doorknob starter button, that's a unique quirk done by the builder but it's not rare to see odd starting systems on customs. The clutch is iffy but i'm sure it's not that bad and can be fixed. What are you talking about not getting the bike to run reliably? The carb is probably shot/tuned badly if that's the case.. Nothing major since the engine sounds fine. Just because it's custom, doesn't mean it's unreliable and uncomfortable. It was just made by someone, for themselves and to their taste. All bikes deserve respect and love.

I'd change the clutch and rag the hell out it😎👍

Did you guys consider lubing the clutch cable? May help.

That's one wicked sled... I love the starter button. Thinking of doing that to one of my bikes!!

love the commentary

"That bike is sooooo sick!" "That's why I want to ride!" 👍😜

This bike is very cool. The most embarrassing things become the best stories later. Oh one more thing you mentioned your gloves, are your gloves the safest?, or the best for a vibrating bike?

My 1st H-D was a 51 Pan (1986)chopped it and road road it to Sturgis(1989) 956 miles one way. I miss my hardtail days but we all get older/wiser.

It looks beautiful, it sounds awesome.

That's a man's bike!
