I bought a wrecked Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 for $1000 on Facebook marketplace, it needed a lot of repairs and modifications. I repaired all the damages and chopped off the subframe to modify the frame for the bobber conversion, Over 10 hours worth of footage in 40 mins enjoy.

This comment is so much more relevant today. The world has never so much in the modern era been so close to seeing the evil we've been fooled with: sloth, laziness, video games, and evil mascara-ding as truth. This bike build is about as un-woke Hollywood as ya can get. We need to give the finger to the Multi-Culti and just do "us." F@ck Lincoln and the Stars n Stripes F@ck Churchill and fooling us into fighting on the wrong side in WWII Everyone makes mistakes. Let's do our best to get back to SOMETHING real.

great job, that's how i used to customize my bikes when i'd get them. only i couldn't weld but you did good. really enjoyed watching you work with your hands, didn't even notice the background noise(music) play what you want just keep building. made an old guy proud.

@@Benjamminoutdoors It worked. The pacing was good. You showed all the elements of what you were doing and how you did. The speed up footage and background music worked. I think if you had left much more of it out it would have been annoying to notice something in the finished bike, like say how you redesigned and welded up the footpegs, and realize that was missing from the build section. This was a big project with a lot of parts. For me, I liked seeing how the work is done, so all the detail is almost as important as the reveal at the end. Definitely look at your stats about how much of your audience bailed or fast forward through which parts. You're not going to make everyone happy, so pick the type of viewer/video you want to make, that you get good response from and do that well. There's a place for longer form if that's what's working for you. Looking forward to more.

Thank you so much for taking the time to video the build. A man after my own heart. A driveway build with no "lift" or fancy tools (other than the TIG welder). I am impressed. One critique, if I may. A couple of coats of primer and some wet sanding before painting would have made for a better paint job.
