Love the story of how he named the bike Mary Lou after his late grandmother. The sentimental bond you build with your bike, and relationships you make from the process of building and riding it are what make the chopper community so attractive.

1st 5 mins...Dre knows what likes, had a vision, and articulates it well and pushed until it became real. In a month! Much respect to the man and this incredible bike. 👊🙌

Thank you so much that's really nice of you say 🙏🏽

Dre's Sporty is everything that a frisco-styed chopper should be -- compact for good handling, a six-over fork (perfect), no rake, and a decent front brake. The "T" bars are great for good handling in fast-moving situations. Those Moon finned ignition and clutch cover a nice touch. I've always dug a NorCal (frisco) styled bike. Max Schaaf's orange knuckle engine in a drop seat Duo Glide frame is bruisin'. So is Dre's Sporty. Once, I built a Pan/Shovel and dedicated it to a pal who was on his '65 Pan chopper when he was killed by a drunk driver. His ideas and mine gelled -- including the color (metallic silver). Love ya, Pete (RIP). God love you, Dre, for naming your bike after your grandmother. May she rest in peace in Christ's kingdom. Ride safe, Dre. Thanks, LNSPLTBLVD!

I love how extensive he got with repairs getting rid of every gremlin, love that he knew what he wanted in the end. Great build, great dude. Love the fact that he named the bike after his late grandmother, rest her soul. Hella good upload fr

Thank you so much!! Truly appreciate the kind words. Those damn gremlins are always pain in the ass!

That is beautiful! I loved hearing how the bike fits into the SF landscape...very interesting!

The mic makes such a difference, thanks!

Love this content man. Dont ever stop.

Super cool build. Thanks for sharing all the little tips and tricks learned during the process.

It’s always great seeing guys actually ride their builds.

Glad I stopped by. The best way town and ride is build it. Well done.

Hell yeah, love frisco style bikes!

Excellent video, great bike. This guy has heart. The real deal. Thank you.

Such a killer build! ❤‍🔥

Super nice build. Be proud. 👍

🤙🤙best way to end the day! Thx for the vid!

Learned something new! Never knew all the details of Frisco Choppers. Great video

First saw Dre’s bike at the SF show a couple months ago. He was parked by Nicks bike. I then saw him roll into the Stockton show last month and got to talk to him and pick his brain. Love this bike

Daaaaamn. You actually made the sporty of my dreams. ❤ mad respect . May you ride long. Keep the rubber on the road and the throttle always cranked. 🤟

Cool as hell 👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻😎

I love the pride he has for sportsters. I have an 883 sportster, slowly putting it together rigid swing arm, but eventually I will chop it. Honestly I think i could ride a sportster forever. There arent enough people who understand the sportster like he does, and have that pride, I feel like.

Superb gem! ✌🏻

What a beautiful sound that bike has! Great to hear a true bike build story, no bs just the real shit show that customizing anything with a motor!

That’s a sweet little scoot. I have built a few of my own and I DO feel you on the little aggravations the build shop shows never tell you. That is what makes it real though. Nice ride!

That bike is so nice! Great build!

Awesome build👍

This definitely makes me rethink of selling mine. Thank you

That's a sick bike, but I really enjoyed hearing him describe the history of the Frisco-style bikes. I'm a bobber guy, but I had no idea of the purpose of some of the part setups.

Very nice ride

Nice bike has a story.definitely made it his own.

Lovely basic riding bike, can't beat the reliability of a sportster, very clean 👍

That’s a clean sportster.

Great bike. I've never understood the hating on Sportsters. They're reliable, affordable, infinitely customisable, and sound incredible.

If you’re running a Dyna-S and the bike runs great all but at idle, it is the flyweights. Bad flyweights unit mimics a ‘vacuum leak’ where at idle the revs stay up for a minute or so before returning down to a normal idle speed. If there are no vacuum leaks, the flyweights are out of tolerance with the pivot pins and or the return springs are fatigued. Replace with a quality made in USA unit like the one American Prime Manufacturing offers. Buy once fry once. I’ve used new Taiwan units straight out of the box that were out of wack and had me chasing my tail about idle issues. I wouldn’t swap that Mikuni for a S&S you’re downgrading with that move.

@andregonzales04

Good insight!!! I'll look into American Prime and add it to the parts list. Sadly a lot of the parts have been the ol case of buy once cry once hahaha but I try to buy as much USA made as I possibly can and support local businesses.

I use Strava. It's a hiking app . . . I came from SF and used to love all the back roads! they have all become the 'burbs. I live in FarNor Cal now. If you love empty, twisty, scenic, mountains and canyons you can ride all day, with the occasional awesome cafe in the middle of nowhere, I recommend highways 3 and 36 to start. So many amazing side roads to connect to from there! Love your bike, man! Hope to see you on the road! ✌😎

I think the guy said that owning an Ironhead forces you to become a mechanic. Seems like he's been doing a pretty good job of it himself anyway 😊😊

I love Sportsters, I have 2 of em (along with an Evo Fatboy and a M8 114cu Fatbob) For the bike in the video I would do the frame the same (color) as the tank. Wouldn't go for the "chrome" powder coat, I seen many, but it seems "off" every time.

Does his front brake actuate the light too?

I love frisco style, my dream…i have a sportster 2019, do you think it’s possible to build it like frisco style? Or is it better to sell it and buy an older model sportster to convert it into a frisco style? Thanks
