In this episode of the Harley-Davidson YouTube Build-Off, we dive into one of the toughest parts of building a custom chopper — fabricating and mounting the gas tank and motor mounts. From tricky angles and awkward shapes to welding, coping, and problem-solving on the fly, Ryan Kruesi and the Kruesi Originals crew show what it really takes to bring a Harley-Davidson Softail Street Bob (M8 2025) to life as a full custom chopper.

Watch as Ryan, Trent, and Sean put their fabrication skills to the test, share tips for grinding and coping tubes, debate different mounting solutions, and push through the challenges that make custom motorcycle building so rewarding. It’s raw, unfiltered shop life — with plenty of laughs, teaching moments, and a few creative analogies along the way.
