Slick! Love it

Definitely a great tool when they get you outta trouble.

I like it. I do not like when tanks are too far forward and there's a big ole gap between seat and tank. I think having the tank set back off the neck makes the whole bike look longer and more slim...

Heck yeah Jack. Welcome to chopcult. You are in the right place. Dude, when i was 20 years old I wasn't doing anything nearly as cool as building a shovel chop. Never even heard the word Shovelhead....

Sweet! Great platform for custom build. Keep it coming and post pics!!!

Basically all you need to do is make 2 bushings with 3 tiers that step down.* Not gonna say exact dimensions cause tolerances vary on the old repop perches/levers but basically I take .625" rod of...

I posted this in the how to section a while back on how to do your own. Recently made another batch and have some for sale if anyone is interested. $65 Shipped includes the lever/perch, bushings,...

I thinking getting the shovel will give you more options for trading up. There are lots of folks with good reliable Evo softails, dynas, sportster's, etc that are willing to give them up for a...

Yes good point about briefing the new owner. I'll likely just replace.

I love the pingel petcock. So smooth and easy. I've been lucky to get a few of them as bonuses on bikes I've bought and never...

Great tips. Thanks. Glad I'm not the only one.

Got a sportster that has one of the vaccuum op type petcock. I usually just swap them out for a standard valve style. What's the deal though. I was taught to turn on the petcock, let fuel fill the...

Heck yeah dude! Looks great and seems like you are really enjoying the process. Thanks for sharing. Keep it comin.

Replaced the stator yesterday and got it all buttoned up. It's charging very nicely now!

Pulled the bad stator earlier today, now just waiting for the new one to arrive. Cycle electric. Could of got a better deal with a whole charging kit but my reg/rec is brand new and rotor magnets...

Thanks man. Im digging it but haven't been able to ride too far yet!

I look at tons of bikes on the web and drool over them. I love show bikes but I'm not there yet, maybe one day I'll put in the...

My take on a slimmed down, cheap, shop truck, softail! Main fab in the rear fender, sissy bar, tank mounts, and seat.

Results are in. Looks like a shorted stator. Used the test light method as prescribed and the light lit up on either socket to ground.

Farmall, thanks for those tips as well. All wiring is brand...

Thank you JB. I'll give that a go and report back later today after charging my battery.

Hey y'all. I've got a late 90s Evo Softail that's not charging. I've only recently got the bike on the road and never ran the motor before, as to say I've never seen it charge properly. I've...

Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing it come together.

Go thru the basics. Is it getting fuel. Carb needs to be clean. The accelerator pump needs to function well which u can test by removing the air filter, turning on the gas and flipping the throttle...

Been wanting one of these early Evo in a shovel frame bikes ever since I learned about them.
Recently I bought an '81 FLH and wasn't sure if i was gonna keep it or flip it. It had some trans issues...

In short I guess what I'm trying to say is send the tank back... there's no reason for you to try and fix a tank that should be leak-free from the get-go.[/QUOTE]


At this point im just having my...

Dude is a real piece of work. shitty to no communication depending on person/payment method. Multiple crazy excuses that vary depending on who he is talking to. Double selling parts.

He told...
