Why Custom Builders Build Useless Motorcycles

Описание: Why do so many custom motorcycles look incredible… but ride like absolute trash?

In this video, TJ breaks down the uncomfortable truth behind unrideable show bikes — where the trend started, why it exploded, and how we ended up with motorcycles built for photos instead of pavement.

We dig into:

Where “show bike over ride bike” culture actually came from

Why so many builders sacrifice comfort, control, and safety for stance

The hidden design mistakes that make bikes miserable to ride

The difference between a rider’s bike and a builder’s trophy

What trends are worth stealing — and which ones will wreck your spine, hips, and sanity

This isn’t a hit piece on builders. It’s a reality check for riders who actually want to ride the damn thing after it’s finished.

If you’re building a custom, modifying a cruiser, or drooling over show bikes on Instagram — this video might save you from making a very expensive, very painful mistake.
