By the way, on those graphics you could have just gotten some number plate backgrounds. I by them in big rectangular sheets and just cut to fit. It's the best thing to do on vintage bikes.

Dude, this is such an awesome build! Definitely want to do this when I get a bike! Thank you for the inspiration!

FYI Cutting vinyl is easy if you use knifeless tape, from 3M for example. Just design your outline with the tape, put your vinyl on top, pull the string of the tape and your vinyl has the perfect shape.

Came on yt to see if there were vintage bikes with modern suspension and found your build. Awesome job! Looks the part and rides everything!

heck yeah. i love retrofitting newer dirt bikes! great video

Looks great! For years I’ve been trying to decide how to vintage my dirt bike always wanting a 60s look, my ideas went from making new rear sub frames to buying an actual vintage dirt bike and swapping in a modern drivetrain. The 80s look is a great compromise, way less modifying!

Soo cool!!! Good job!

Recently I just turned my motorcycle into a vintage dirt bike (Honda XR look) too!! It's seems simple on the paper but god its a tough work. But I enjoy all process, and I love my bike ever more! good content!!

Very original and good idea! Love it

Awesome, I had exactly the same idea to do this to a modern husqvarna giving it a 70s look, yours looks almost the same as the 79 husqvarna 390 look I was going for❤

Haha I did the exact same thing with my 2021 Harley Davidson. Made it look like a 70s Frisco chopper. All the cool factor and none of the headache! Sweet build!

The 520 lives on! Perhaps my favorite part of the build is you shearing the backside of the seat. Classic!!

Your right vintage bikes look much better, all the new bikes look the same just different colors, nice job, thanks for the video

So sick

It looks 1000% better! Now if you can figure out a nice, thick old-style seat and a metal tank it would be perfect. It already reminds me of an old Husky WR - excellent! With short legs I would love a bike like this with a lower seat height. I realize that would mean less suspension travel, but I’d give up the speed for more confidence in the slow, technical stuff.

So sick!

Muy bien hecho ! Haces que parezca fácil ! Pero es por que tienes muchos talentos ! Felicitaciones

One thing you could consider, instead of doing a metal tank, make a metal "shroud" that looks like a vintage tank, but really just covers the actual tank. Or even a fiberglass or plastic one.

That sheep skin will not get a little dirty,it will be dirty asf

I have to admit when I read the title I thought what a dumb idea. It caught my interest and after watching, it’s pretty dope 👍

I have a 1970 CT90 that I got sick of working on and bought a TDUBS, so a brand new vintage bike, more or less.

Fun, some nice ingenuity here. Came here looking for how to mount VMX fenders to a modern bike. Looking forward to seeing it with a vintage style metal tank, and I hope you do something about that seat 😆 For the vinyl, did you consider knifeless tape designed for car wrap? Not too pricey, easy to use and cuts really nice lines. It's forgiving too since you can pull it back up and relay it if necessary. I guess the razor blades work pretty well too though, and scratches aren't a big deal since it's plastic.

now thats fun!

looks mint

Love your video. I love vintage motorcycles, do you think that if I bought a Beta RR125 i could modify it like you did?

I legitimately cannot wait for Buscadero to make a full size. Surely it's only a matter of time before they work their magic on one of the GPX 250s.

This is so sick, how'd I miss this

Over here in germany, there is this guy on Ebay Kleinanzeigen, who built an Yamaha xt 350/500. He took an xt 350, and fitted an old silver 500 tank, seat and round headlights on it and I think it looks awesome. I would definitely buy it, the only problem is that it costs 5.500 Euros (5.798 Dollars) and considering that normal 350s with okay miledge and good mantained cost here somewhere around 2.500, it's just to much for me. Maybe also a reason why it's still available since 2022. But definitely a cool concept.

You should be careful about that rear fender or the number plate melting because the exhaust

I didn’t read all of the comments so someone might’ve Already said something. But if you spray window cleaner before any decals or pin strips you can move them around and the window cleaner will dry clean

tailsection: add rubber grommet to protect wire insulation.

Make it full vintage it will look mint

what happened to the XT500???

hey Issac idk if you got the graphics made for the tank but id love to sponser a build and make some decals for you it would be cool to make some decals that match your outfit and maybe your logo if you have one
