Ryun Olsen’s 1976 Shovelhead Chopper | First Build with His Dad

A first build, a 1976 Shovelhead, and a lot of garage time with his dad—this one’s got heart all over it. In this episode from Cycle Source, Ryun Olsen shares the story behind his chopper, built over the last year from flood-surplus parts found in Texas to a finished bike that stands out for all the right reasons. This build mixes vintage style with real hands-on work. Ryun talks about growing up around motorcycles, learning in the garage with his father, and figuring things out piece by piece. From tracking down the frame and long front end to working through a locally rebuilt motor, this bike came together the hard way. A lot of the fab work was done in-house, cutting and welding what was needed and solving problems as they came up. Details like the custom foot pegs, clean stance, and dialed-in setup show the time that went into it. The finish brings it all together, with paint by Jerry Latch of Latch Custom Cycles—candy blue with Z-style graphics that give the bike a sharp, classic look. This isn’t just a chopper—it’s a first build, a learning experience, and a story about time spent in the garage that sticks with you. #Shovelhead #Chopper #GarageBuilt #CustomMotorcycle #CycleSource 👉THIS AND MORE STREAMING NOW ON CYCLE SOURCETV.COM Learn more about the Cycle Source Channel here.    / @thecyclesource   ✅ Subscribe To The Channel For More Videos: https://www.youtube.com/@CycleSourceT... ✅ Important Links: 👉 Cycle Source TV Website: https://cyclesourcetv.com/ 👉 Cycle Source Website: https://cyclesource.com/ ✅ Stay Connected With Me: 👉 Instagram (CSM):   / cyclesourcemagazine   👉 Instagram (CSTV):   / cyclesourcetv   👉 Facebook:   / cyclesourcemag   📩 For business inquiries: [email protected] ============================== ✅ Other Videos You Might Be Interested In Watching: 👉    • Inside Daytona Bike Week 2025 – Epic Bikes...   👉    • Ride Through Arizona Bike Week 2025 Plus E...   👉    • Explore Donnie Smith Custom Motorcycle Sho...   👉    • Sons of Speed Motorcycle Racing 2024 | Joh...   👉    • Helping a Vietnam Vet Reclaim His Ride – T...   👉    • Harley-Davidson Hydra Glide Revival 2024 |...   👉    • Building RK’s ‘61 | Inside Klock Werks’ Cu...   👉    • Bringing a 1949 Panhead Back to Life | S&S...   👉    • Restoring a WWII-Era Bobber | The Viola Fl...   👉    • Viola Flyer Build Begins! S&S Vintage Tour...   👉    • Installing Toce Exhaust at the Track | Ind...   👉    • Smoke Out Rally 22 – Legends, Dirt Tracks ...
