As an "old chopper guy" I will give approval of your chopping! You can't make an omelet without cracking a few eggs. I'm watching this as one enjoying my factory Triumph ride. As long as it goes back together, it's all good. I began building custom frames in 95, working with a new "chopper shop" that opened as I was retiring from the marines. Once you've cut it, all that matters is getting it back together. You might have to cut a few times, but you got to do what you got to do, to go forward. It's always scary when you cut away everything you don't want. I'm enjoying your generation coming out and doing what I learned to do, back in the seventies. "It's a family tradition". I ended up having to design and make my own tubing bender and built a couple frames that were junk, but taught me the "hard corners" you have to finagle to get around. Your frame is looking really good, I think it's going to ride very nice, looks really good.

Everytime I watch your vids always puts me in the mood to go work on my bikes

I'm rebuilding a CB750 as my first build and watching your videos really gives me the confidence to tackle the stuff I've never done before. Just getting into welding and seeing you do all this makes my projects look simple in comparison. Thanks for making these videos and documenting it for people like myself.

I love how the hard tail looks! I can't wait to see what it ends up as!

Man it looks great! I was doubtful about the hard tail but I'm loving it!

Keep up the great work! I actually went out bought a Honda CB650 because of your show. I am in the planning stage for the build.

damn dude, awesome job! im actually super excited for this build

Your videos are awesome, i like all your projects, but this built is my favorite one.

Number one rule for holding everything square as possible is to tack all pieces together first then completely weld

I don't like to chop up a complete bike. BUT, I have a 74' that is stock. Supposed to pick up a 71 soon. It has a 16" wheel and other "chopper stuff on it. I may chop it. Thanks for sharing your videos.

It's looking great bud keep up the work can't to see it finshed

always great , good job

Thumbs up! A person can do what he wants With his own belongings!

Just found your channel. Looking to hard tail a 74 140V. I wont cut mine like that. I'll leave the rear motor mount and cut open the tubing to fit the hardtail in then weld a plate from the open tubing to the bottom rail of the hard tail. Plan to use the swing arm bracket to mount the shocks to for a spring seat. Originally was going to buy an early frame and put a bolt on hardtail on it but after seeing your bike and how cool it looks I have decided to go with the original frame for obvious title hassle reasons.

Awesome build. I was initially going o build a hardtail bobber, but I realized it'd be too hard on my back. Especially with the way the roads are in Mn. lol. But Tx I'm sure is a lot better.

Great job! I love this series.

Ye the triump bober is a good fun bike and realy got torque handles good

Where did you get the hard tail? Are you going to run the stock 18" rear wheel?

Nice job ;-]

Great job. Well done for being adventurous. it's just a lump of metal, so have fun.
