    I know this video was published a year and a half ago, but I just have to say this was freaking incredible. I loved seeing how much you fabricated for the bike and I really like what you did with the brake lines. Awesome job!

    Thanks for watching, When I look for donor bikes I pick mid 80s and 90s EVO sportsters because the are in the right price range. Too new to be "old Cool expensive" and too old to be "new Expensive".. not sure if that came out right. I guess they are just in the cheap "sweet spot". and I have found them on facebook market place and I have a trailer and will willing to travel a few hours away.. and when you find a deal, jump on it.. if it's a deal it will go quick... good luck with the hunt. I find the hunt to be a fun part.

    I bought a 1980's EVO sportster, those are in the price sweet spot. Not anywhere near new but too new to be considered a classic. The investment into the tools I consider as an investment in future builds and all the work was done by me and not farmed out. Wait, balancing the tires I had done for me... without the tools, I think I'm in it for under 3K. Thanks for watching!

    Yep, the clamp (not a hose clamp) seems a little sketchy, I'm going to weld on a tab on the bottom os the upper frame. My thought was that the caliper mount is connected to the axle and can not spin because of its location between the upper and lower frame and the original caliper mount location used the frame as a bump stop. Thanks for watching, comments that make me question what I am doing is a good thing.
