There's a very important piece of information missing from the SPS history. Jeff Cochran. He was involved at the beginning and the main motorcycle guy. He sold out after like 2 or 3 years and started Speedking Racing. He's still in business today building custom bikes 1 at a time. SPS suffered greatly when he left.

I guess you weren't there for the early oughts, mate

An original hard tail with the pogo seat, sits you up straight. Your feet sit flat on the running boards and the handle bars come right to hand. Most choppers spend a lot of time doing just the opposite.

Sean I just want to say thank you! After watching you buy, and, sale bikes across the country for a few years, I decided to try a little bit of it myself. This is my first season, and I have turned out around 18 bike's. Sean when I say turned out, I mean either I went somewhere out of town, or even state sometimes to buy a Motorcycle, and brought it back to my shop, and sold it for a profit. There were a couple of instances , that I took another bike in" as a trade in value towards something else. Those are some good profitable situations, if you don't take in a worthless peice of sh-t. Right now I'm working out of my Parents towing company. Well there's two different buildings, but they're joind in together. I'm making it sound terrible, but it's actually not. I'm still interested in getting my own place, but the overhead would just be too much for me right now! Hopefully in a couple more seasons, I will be able to get my own place. But again, thanks for passing on some of your knowledge. I did get a few good pointers, from "Jon's Moto Garage " as well.. Good luck brother, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart. Thank God for Good people like you, and your employees. Well may as well say your family. I will always give y'all the credit you deserve, and when I have to come through your part of the country, to pick up a bike or deliver one, I'll give you a holler and hopefully we can meet up, so I can shack your hand and thank you in person. May God continue to bless your family and you Sean. 🙏🏻

Good on ya and good luck. I tried my hand at building custom parts. I found out real quick I didn't like dealing with people. Everyone and the mother wants everything for nothing. I had a guy Florida building custom pipes for me, another guy doing custom seats. I was doing handlebars, fenders, and tanks. At the end of the day all I kept hearing was such and such has (insert part) for half what you're charging. It sucked. I finally folded it up because I got sick of it. So best of luck.

I remember going out to Sturgis during the rally back in the early 2000's, and seeing parking lots full of mass produced custom choppers. I admit, a few were pretty cool, and I wanted one . Not so much anymore, but, I would still like to build one for myself.

Of all the bike builders that cropped up back then, these were the best made and looking bikes, actually practical and rideable.

The frame was an outsourced custom fabrication on the Ohio built bikes, shop was up the hill from Miamitown Ohio around 5 miles from where I live now,Jeff and Donnie sold the business to a shop in Arizona and that was the last I heard about it. There are photos and a small article about Indian Larry visiting the shop and the article said he was impressed ,I believe the Arizona built bikes aren't same quality level as the originals.

Usual thorough entertaining presentation. Bike reminds me a bit of my Super glide 1450.

such a cool bike, love the old school look. Those white wall tires really set the look off!

Seat springs that are heavy enough to hold your weight are too stiff to do any good at all. Get air bags for your seat, they're cheap and way way way more effective. Im a 275 pound fella, I speak from experience. Low Brow has them, its an easy switch.

Suckerpunch Sally bikes are awsome. I dream of one..I wish places would make cool factory bikes that would do that.. your right about bikes that are cool..peopme over charge and or people wont work on them...

No offense to Sean but he's a motorcycle guy not a Chopper or bobber guy. Choppers and bobbers are all about anesthetics and going fast. That's what both of those terms mean. Stripping everything off not needed to go or stop. They're not about comfort and surely not about touring across the state.

I really liked SP bikes, they were aesthetically attractive and it made a statement here in LA.

Saying "Factory Custom" is a contradiction in terms. That's the main problem with the general publics perception and discussion of the custom motorcycle scene. It's a long history dating back to the post WWII era, and in many ways even earlier in the 20th century. To customize is an action, not the description or title of a specific style of bike. If you learned your motorcycle history from watching discovery channel then you are seriously misinformed.

Would love to see the 2021 yamaha bolt r spec…… would be a darn shame

First of all, many of these companies building and selling Harley clone motorcycles started in the mid 1990s. People bought these bike because H-D wouldn't sell them a bike or wanted twice msrp for it, and you have to wait 6 months or more to get it. This happened to me. In 1995, I tried to buy a base Sportster 883, which had an msrp of around $5200. The dealer wanted twice that, and told me it would take several months to get it. He insinuated that if I were willing to pay even more, I could get it faster. I told him where to shove it, went across the street and bought a Kawasaki, for UNDER msrp, and rode away on it that day. I decided then and there that I would NEVER do business with H-D. And I haven't. I have since owned 5 Harleys, starting in 2005, when the used market started to become flooded with Harleys and the prices started to drop. I still have 2, a 1989 FXRS Low Rider, and a 2006 Sportster 1200L. I plan to keep them for the rest of my life. That bike likely has no actual H-D parts on it. It is probably built out of 100% aftermarket Harley clone parts. The engine could be an S&S, Merch, Rev Tech, or a couple of other brands. Transmissions were usually Andrews or Baker. The switch gear looks oem Harley, but probably isn't. Since Harley built it's last REAL motorcycle 5 years ago, before switching to the soulless, characterless, M8 engine, and has now even dropped the EVO Sportster, we need a few of these small companies around to build REAL Harleys, since Harley Davidson won't. I'm not interested in a chopper, but I would like an EVO powered bike with rear suspension and tubeless tires.

Im being gifted a Flyrite "Reach For The Sky" with a Revtech motor. Would love if you did a video on that company/bikes sometime.
