pasohlavyk - GOA ART

Overview

A “Biker Boys Garage” video features David Pasohlávek from Big Lake Custom, who runs a Go Art studio—building custom bikes and also doing tattooing. The host jokes that David can practically “make everything himself,” and the conversation quickly shifts into a deep-dive on David’s standout Harley Sportster 883 drag-style build.

---

Main Build + Origin Story

• The Harley is a full transformation: only the engine and front/rear frame sections remain. Everything else is heavily redesigned.
• David describes the style as “dragster/drug style.”
• He originally aimed for an all-aluminum, fully engraved aesthetic, but time constraints pushed the build toward a more practical approach.
• He emphasizes the project evolved as he went—“like life,” always shifting.

Key Modifications (and the “Handmade Everything” Theme)

• The bike came from a bargain

  • David bought the Harley cheaply in a rough, unfinished state and repurposed it into the finished machine.

• Rear end stretching for a wide wheel

  • The rear setup is extensively adjusted (including offset stretching and belt clearance solutions) because fitting the large wheel requires major changes.

• Custom front end and brakes

  • He replaces the front components (noted as coming from a GPZ-type donor) and recalculates/adjusts everything so it works correctly—highlighting precise measurement and fitment.

• Electrics and minimalist layout

  • Wiring is hidden cleverly (under the seat/central unit), with clean, simple button controls.

• Wheels and materials

  • The host marvels at the “90-spoke” wheels.
  • David stresses the bike is largely hand-built aluminum, with only a few original parts remaining.

Memorable / Funny Moments

• David repeatedly insists he doesn’t “buy things”—he fabricates: cut, weld, make, modify.
  • The host turns this into a comedic “commercial” vibe early on.
• A running joke plays on drag-bike stance discomfort and attitude (e.g., “you’ll be uncomfortable as a pig”).
• David mentions he sometimes worked on the build around other life tasks (even sewing furniture earlier in the week), reinforcing that the motorcycle project happens alongside real life—not only as a full-time job.
• The host is impressed by David’s ability to transform workshop scraps and leftovers into refined custom parts.

Legal, Tuning, and Craft Details

• Street legality

  • The bike is described as street-legal, with mention of plates/tags.
  • It’s noted as homologated / E-marked, so it can be ridden normally.

• Sound + regulations

  • David discusses controlling noise with mufflers/tuning to avoid becoming “too loud,” since excessive loudness can create problems.

• Tank sealing test

  • He pressure-tests the tank for leaks.
  • David claims his tank-making approach prevents issues, humorously joking about “making it immortal,” adding reassurance about build quality.

• Paint and finishing

  • He explains selecting a color using a sample book (RAL-type reference) and matching it consistently across the bike so the finish looks cohesive top-to-bottom.

Outcome + Competition

The video concludes with David hoping the bike performs well at a competition/rally. The host notes how hard-to-see the handcrafted aluminum construction is—so clean it looks seamless—and encourages viewers to watch, support, and (if possible) vote.
