Wow! Love that snarl on acceleration.

Slow and low, no moe... Thats a bad ass chop man. I love it and never seen its equal.

Sick ride! I just bought a 1980 1100 and I’m looking for ideas. Yours is a little low for me but I love it!

First off you bike is sick, I've been looking for over 4 months for something to chop and your bike gave me the idea to get a maxim 1100 (it is the most insane sound coming out of that 4 and the pipes look evil coming out the front like that). I love the proportions, not too exaggerated everything seems "just right" I would love to see some pics on how you did the the rake chop and weld. I'd like to get the chance to pick your brain on some of that build.

Cool Bike, Man. THUMBS UP !

you have some sweet bikes have a great day ride safe

Love it!

I can't stop coming back to this video. I want to know so much on how to build around this engine.

And every time you have even a light curve, you have to go back and pick up the pipes.

It did a really nice job on that that looks really nice reminds me of the bikes of the 60s and 70s

I love it, nice bike, I am currently building a 1979 GS 1000 bobber chopper.

She's Beautiful!!!! Awesome job bud. I would Love to have a ride like that! Amazing work

very nice bike man! I just got a 79 xs1100 special. I am going to keep mine stock cause its all original 12 thousand miles but done a very nice job on that bike.

pretty cool work for sure but for my guide style i'd be splitted on the ground at the first curve XD

For all of you that want to like this but are conflicted over the low stance type "The Shockker" into the KZfaq search engine. Not a hardtail either but a bad ass looking bike!

Beautiful

You did a great job on this bike!

Sick bike bro love the short look it has.

nice job.

I think I fell in love with the bike just on the growl alone. I use to own a 1986 Yamaha Maxim XJ700, fun bike and was always good to ride. Seeing you build this makes me want to see what I'm able to think on, maybe you can give advice.

Bad ass bike man! Im working on a 79 cb750 turboed hardtail and it sits low also. Keep up the good work!

Damn that things low i was gonna make mine a dirt chopper 😁 wish me luck! That note is so sick

Serious bad ass machine!!

I love that except for the too low thing. It looks like you slammed it till it's dragging pegs (or frame/exhaust) at 10*

Sick Looking Bike, Bro!! Wow!

Nice

It really bugs me though, that this thing is using the pipe as a stand...

It all depends on what you want it varies depending on the customer

Dude I’ve got that bike now!

good job for sutch young hands,respect gruff England....

If you like the Before better (give me a thumbs up) first pothole, bump in the road, 50mph curb ...you are so toaste !! ..that pipe will catch the ground and spin you to arial ablyss..not to mention that seat ...well trying to be nice but that seat is gonna make that fender eat you dude..also that "custom plate" is illegal as a "carjacking a friggin icecream truck" you cant chop a bike to be lower like that..unless your front wheel is 5sizes too large..even pulling into that driveway..point made

@Driffter64 we just heat up the frame and bend it that is how we got the 47 rake.

Rau5150 thanks the bike was my only ride for 2years.

Looks cool but low riding those pipes around a corner could be tricky and dangerous. Think I would look better with a wider tank since the engine is so wide, and get more range to boot.

dam , I got a 1980 S. ya that's sweet !

How did you lower it this way? Very beautiful work.

Really nice bike but it is way to low

great job man

How well does it handle and corner being so low?

Nice job.

Sick bike

Stylish i like it alot

Sick as fuck!! I want a custom bobber I’m not that good

how do you lean into a corner?

i was only thinking of doing a chopper from one of them bikes then you not only pull it off but you pull it off good the only thing i dont like is the muffler is a bit to low it would scratch along the roads where im from but i guess its fine if ur on flat roads

WoW. That is the Best xs 1100 chop i have ever seen. How did u get the tank to work with the carbs?

Love the look, but how do you corner with it?

cool, very cool

@nickgalanis we did all the work on the bike.

Wow nice bike bro👍👍👏👏👏👏

Great thing for a speed bump.

Chopper = custom and custom = no rules

Top sound))))

Turn wide my friend. 😉

would be nice to see those pipes up on the high side so you don`t skate on a turn cause it will lift the back tire off the ground. .I like the build though.

@joshua3113 THANKS I JUST PUT A NEW VIDEO ON YOU TUBE SO CHECK IT OUT. YAMAHA XS1100 CHOPPER BIKE#2

With it being that low does it chew up u-joints ..

nice but too low..death trap..if you have to swerve or try miss something??

nice Bike :D

@leedutcher you just have to go slower its not to bad. its not for the best riding bike its for the look

nice freakin job!

Nice.....

riding this bike to bike night with you and your other on is still one of my favorite rides ever. such a fun bike. you still have the same # as back then 4202?

how do you do the 47' rake? do i have to cut it at the fork and re weld it? or is there another way? SICK BIKE!!

man that is a sick bike. just bought a 79 1100 I'm about to get to work on. I've made several four and three wheelers but this is my first bike. any suggestions???

You, Sir seem to have made some good decisions. I just fiund a, "Before", on Craigslist. Hmmm.

hey josh nice bike after checking out ur bike i bought same 79 xs1100 and now want to do some work to it i was just wondering if u upgraded ur rear tire?

How did you work around the drive shaft setup for the hardtail?

hey man i didnt think you could lower the suspension on a shaft drive ... how did you do it ?

bad ass bike

I would have left it standard but that’s my choice

I really dig your bike! I think i saw it up posted for sale..is that the only bike you have for sale right now?

Did you have to change the jets,I put a dyno jet kit on mine but still not running Good,I changed my exhaust to short straight pipes

awesome bike. Where did you get the LED signal lights. I'm looking all over for them and cannot find them. Thanks!

Thank you that you mentioned how much rake you put into her cuz Im doing the EXACT same thing to my '81 Yamaha XJ, except not as low, but could you tell us if youre using stock length tubes or how many inches over, & where you got them from??? It would be much appreciated & would speed up the progress of my build-BTW, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! You should be proud to be toting around on that horse! I'll be happy if mine comes out looking 1/2 as good!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽💪

how you set up your electrical? looks like you had got rid of almost everything??? I see where the battery is, but where's the ignition unit, fuse box, and all other junk wire?? that looks really clean.

Sweet ride!

It's my jeNNy

Like what you’ve done there, wouldn’t have thought it possible haha....how do you get your pegs forward with the casings in the way?

SWEET

what did you do with the jetting on it? is it the stock frame? how did you straight pipe it with out messing with the performance? i have a 79 xs1100 and really want to bob it out if you have any pointers that would really help

does it turn corners?

So what's the point of having it soooo low. If anything you can't go down the road with peace of mind.

COOL

nice bike. where are you guys located?

who did the swing arm??

Thanks 3113

no airride ? what did you done at a CORNER with that Bike ?

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

How wide is your bike?

What's that clattering? it sounds like something is loose...

@TheBradSpence cool

Yeah, I dont know of anyone making u turns at 90mph. I just don't see how you could even manoeuvre away from an unexpected pothole or obstacle in front of you. Anyway, I guess I come from a "safety first, ride for long" philosophy and not a "safety second, break my neck, never ride again". Ill take safety first anytime.

Can a 250 or 255 rear tire fit on that?

@leedutcher not to bad just cant go 90mph lol

The dude probably is dead now , due to it being too low… RIP

Chopper = V-twin it´s a rule world!!!

how much for a bike build?

@LordAeron789 it would cost you about $3000 for me to make it into a chopper thats parts and labor.let me know.

TOO LOW! Otherwise, I love it
