Im getting ready to build a 73 ironhead bobber. i don't want it raked out like them OCC fags. what would you recommend for a springer front end?

[BEOSChops]

@devildawg1117 Since rake is typically determined by the frame neck angle, unless you go out of your way to rake-out the frame you will just have the stock rake of the '73 XL. The vast majority of springers have no rake built into them, so most will work. Hope this helps. --Al

[chevette47]

sweet bike, your beer sucks though,,, just saying

[BEOSChops]

@chevette47 Hey man, I did say in the video that I was only drinkin it cause somebody left it behind at the shop...

[MickScarborough]

@BEOSChops OMG i do hope you mean it was left unopened. LOL

[BEOSChops]

@MickScarborough Good one, Mate...made me LOL...

[knucklesandbones]

nice build....What kind of handlebars are we looking at? They finish the bike!!!

[BEOSChops]

@knucklesandbones Thanks. Some call them "Speedster" bars. Originally on Knuck's and Pan's.  The center-section is also the top clamp/tree. We sell them on the site.

[jtl1274]

I have an 02 M2L Buell as a donor but not a sportster chassis, do you have kits that I can put the motor in? And if so, how much for the roller? Thanks

[steacy91]

nice kit, ive been looking at your kits on ebay, just waiting to pick my bike and ill be ordering one, if i started with just the gas tank frame and motor, will your kit really finish the bike from there?

[BEOSChops]

@steacy91 If you mean based on the Level 4 kit, then I would say you are pretty close with the exception of the small stuff. However, when shopping for donor bikes, I would still recommend you buy a whole bike (even if it is just a wrecked one) because:

1) It will have a ton of little handy parts you will need to finish your build

2) You can earn back some build budget or savings by selling off parts you aren't going to use like wheels, tires, swingarm, etc.

[FireboltRider31]

[BullsEyeRocker]

Got me a 93 sporty 1200 today guys. Need forward controls for it. Where did you get those ones cheap cause 200 for a set is not cool lol!

[stephendpruitt]

[BullsEyeRocker]

Fucking sweet bike guys. Hope to get one this spring!

[BEOSChops]

@BullsEyeRocker

Thanks, Brutha.

[SouthernShanks]

Hell Yea! Knuff said! 

[godfather301a]

hahaha deal with it bitch, classic

[EffTwoFiddy]

Awesome build... Can you tell me if you had to do any modifications to the tank to keep the front end from hitting it? What did you use for a fork stop? Thanks...

[nmssis]

saw some of your work and man, so bummed that yer not located near me. Can you do similar magic on my "dirt-bike" lookin sorry ass 79?

[BEOSChops]

@nmssis Yes. Give us a call.

[nmssis]

@BEOSChops Will do!

[nmssis]

@nmssis Will do! thanks!

[nmssis]

[BEOSChops]

@nmssis I appreciate your comment. Typically, a customer's geographic location doesn't matter as we ship kits all over the world including far flung places like Australia. --Al

[deweypug]

You gotta love the fatty front end! It makes the look complete!  Nice Job.

[peterbiltpl]

nice done,

[Bransoud4]

Fire that thing up

[rmmeudt]

Nice job, show the hardtail going on would of been nice but overall nice job.

[lunker73]

Nice bike i would rock it""

[obi761128]

bike looks incredible guys very nice job. Got a question, can this be done to a '08 nightster 1200n? thanks

[BEOSChops]

@obi761128 Yes.

[tonyantonelli2580]

bike looks badass....well done. i have a question and i'm hoping you can give me a starting point. i have an '05 1200 and i've decided that i HATE the look of the oil tank and the cover on the other side. i'd love to get an oil tank like the one on this bike but i have no idea where to start and what i'd have to do with all of the electronics under there.....do you guys sell a kit to take care of all of that crap under there?

[BEOSChops]

@tonyantonelli2580 Were you planning on hardtailing it also? We have a bracket kit for remounting the electricals once it has been hardtailed, but not if keeping the rear end stock. --Al

[tonyantonelli2580]

@BEOSChops i wasn't planning on it but if it means getting rid of that ugly-ass tumor growing out of the side of my bike, i may just have to. care to fill me in on what i have to do and what i need to order? thanks in advance.

[MrCttj]

thanks

[MrCttj]

Thanks but is it a 16" or a 19" wheel

[BEOSChops]

@MrCttj 16"

[MrCttj]

With a 150 tire out front what size wheel did you put it on

[BEOSChops]

@MrCttj If memory serves, they were 3" wide rims. It depends on manufacturer of course, but Metz, for example, recommends 3.5" up to 4" for this size with 3" being acceptable. --Al

[polish0my0knob]

best bike i've seen so far... where can i get those handle bars? I have a stock sporty and not a lot of money, so i wanna lower it and change the bars.

[BEOSChops]

@polish0my0knob We sell those bars. They are also integrated as the top tree for the springer. They fit springers that have 1" o.d. posts that are 4.75" o.c. --Al 1-515-265-8441

[normannobrot]

hey guy's , being thats been hard tailed..

do you think you could do 80 miles a day?

would love to do that to my sporty, but have only the one. and have never ridden a hard tailed bike.

[SilatJunkie1]

Love it! I like the fact that it's not an expensive project either!!!

Where did you pick up the air kit?

[BEOSChops]

@SilatJunkie1

I'm sorry. What do you mean by "air" kit?

[SilatJunkie1]

@BEOSChops I was meaning the air filter set up on the carb. I haven't been able to find that one and I like it. I'm assuming that's a CV carb?

[SilatJunkie1]

@BEOSChops I was referring to the air cleaner for the carb. I'm assuming it's a CV carb too. IS that right? I have looked for a filter online and haven't been able to find a manufacturer for that one...

[SilatJunkie1]

@BEOSChops I was referring to the air cleaner for the carb. I'm assuming it's a CV carb too. IS that right? I have looked for a filter online and haven't been able to find a manufacturer for that one...

[SilatJunkie1]

@BEOSChops Sorry if you got a lot of responses my computer is tripping....

[BEOSChops]

@SilatJunkie1

Yes, the bike just has a stock carb on it. We got the air cleaner out of V-Twin Mfg's catalog (part #34-0510) and converted it to fit. It is made to fit Bendix and Keihin 3 bolt carbs so we had to open up the throat and change it around so it could be used on the newer bike. --Al

[enodohtem]

i'm dealing with it mutha fucka! hahaha Nice!

[normannobrot]

how much of a difference in £££ would it be to have a genuine HD springer front end? as found on the cross bone? he one with the tappered sides i think.

[elektrobank55]

Really nice job. That fat front tire looks so great and I love the springer fork. Outstanding

[tdowning77]

Love the conversion. Can you do one for me? How can I contact you to make the neccessary arrangements? Thanks, and great job on the bike.

[undeadfred1]

how do springers compare to the regular forks? thinkin about putting a springer on my nightster but i dont want to loose all comfort.... kick ass bike guys

[BEOSChops]

@undeadfred1

Suppose it is like many things, it's all in what ya like, but I never have really felt like there was too huge of a difference. Some springers do have a tendency to be bouncy and bottom but this can be remedied with a shock retrofit.

[skyeowl44]

It's a nice bike but I'm wonderin how you explain to a cop how you didn't put a speedometer in there cuz it looks crappy?...

[LedZeppelin13k7]

@skyeowl44 A speedometer is not required on a motorcycle and neither is turn signals in most states. but if you speed youre fucked anyways. lol

[HEYBUDD]

ahhhhh........this bike......ahhhhhhh.......after market......ahhhhh.......what an anyoing.....ahhhhhh.....vidio.­.....ahhhhhh.........better not take that bitch out of di moin.....ahhhhhhh.......wont be so bad outside that part of the country.....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[midnightvampire49321]

Can y'all do a tutorial on how to do internal throttle or clutch?

[BEOSChops]

Good idea. Will do one next time we install an internal throttle on an in-house build at the shop.

[monkeystocks]

how much for the headlite is it halogen of what kind is it

[monkeystocks]

how much are you selling the hanldbars panhead style

[monkeystocks]

Hi, I am looking for a repro of a panhead handlebars, where should I look. Tks

[BEOSChops]

We sell the ones in the video, which fit a lot of common springers thanks to the center-to-center distance at the top of the rear legs. Give us a call. --Al 1-515-265-8441

[monkeystocks]

Hi, I am looking for an old school handlebar for my sportster, a reproduction of the panhead would do great I think, can you tell me where to look to buy one. Tks

[mintkendishin]

well theres a cafe sportster kit in development right now. If you search yahoo for roland sands cafe sportster you can check it out. Ive had this idea for awhile now. But im asuming this kit is gonna be 4,000+..........so im kinda shoppin around right now

[mintkendishin]

have you guys ever did a cafe style sportster

[BEOSChops]

Not yet, but it ain't a bad idea...

[simpleinseattle]

Looks like your kit beat HD to market as it looks just like the '48!! Nice bike. Exactly the type of conversion I would do to the Sportster with a few additional tweaks.

[BEOSChops]

Thanks for noticing!

[johns1200low]

SWEET RIDE !!!

What did that job cost ?

[andrewthemalibu]

Cool looking bike. Next spring you need to ride that thing to desmoines after it rains then look in the mirror at all the crap in your face from not having a front fender, That is, of course, after you stop making faces from your back and butt hurting so much from riding a hard tail.

[riobabilonia]

what´s the rake? 29?

[MrBrooksssss]

clean up those tail light wires and put a box on that battery , i'd like to see one with chrome and a nice frame and tank paint job that matches, nice looking style, good job

[buttholestinger007]

chrome is a sub for being creative

[BEOSChops]

Cool. It's all good, Brutha. Call us when ya ready...

--Big Daddy

[imprtracer2000]

nice man! the bike looks great i've got an 08 nightster that i'm thinkin about doing the hardtail rear section on over the winter, this bike really makes me wanna do it.

[BEOSChops]

Nope, we have NO front end wobble. Is yours at high speed? If so, probably lack of trail. Is it a low speed? If so, wheel not centered correctly. Is it during braking? If so, brake rotor not centered correctly. Either way, it is a serious problem that must be fixed before you ride it much more. --Al

[dassuppenkraut]

Hey thanx a bunch dude. I did some tweakin here and there and a lot of it helped by adjusting the springs to about even pressure I guess

[dassuppenkraut]

Did you folks encounter any front end wobble with the springer, and if so do you have any tips on correcting this problem?

[Tir1962]

With Big daddy on your wobble...your scooter is talking to ya, all you have to do is learn the language!!

[BEOSChops]

This particular kit is for the '82-'03 XL's, but we will soon have one out for the '04-up rubber-mounts. Call 1-515-265-8441 for a quote.  --Al

[benjaminc6]

Beautiful bike! is your kit compatible with an 06 sportster? thinkin about buyin an 06 and choppin it up myself with your kit...

[BEOSChops]

The front end is 4" under. It brings the ground clearance down to approx. 4.5". Thanks for the question and for the good word! 

--Al 1-515-265-8441

[Spaded16o5]

what are the specs on that front end, is it stock length or possibly 2" under or what? Oh and by the way, that is one bad mother fucker!

[BEOSChops]

Thanks, Brutha.

[xclax]

Bmpressive!!!Bellissima!!!

Old school rulez!!!!

[BEOSChops]

Thanks for your question.

Everything between the neck and the seatpost if, yes. From the seatpost back is a hardtail section that we installed in-house on to the original frame.

Hope that answers the question.

--Al

1-515-265-8441

[Meago]

Is this the original sportster frame?
