HC's weak build

Hey fellas,I figured I would start a build thread on this bike.I started building this one a couple years back but lost interest, moved had another child you know life shit.Any way I got this bike it was pretty custom what with the wide glide/narrow glide set-up and the skulls it was pretty trick but not my style per say.

So I figured on a low hard tail two 19'' mags, a nacelle,and just a few minor lowscale parts.
I did'nt and don't want to make the baddest bike that ever existed just one I can live with.

So this is what it looked like the night I brought it home


And I had it tore down to this by the next night.


I got a david bird OIF triumph hardtail and moddified it to fit this frame.
After a week or two I had this sitting on the floor.

Well I lost interest in it like I said before and decided I would build it to sell,so no nacelle or anything I would bust major ass on.I had to sell it and have learned all that shit does'nt help to move it.So it ended up like this.



I sold my other bike and started to get the itch back for this one so I started to tear into it again.
Got a nacelle made up for it and a few little things like eliminating the stock sportster brake master cylinder.Inverted lever you know,guy shit.

This is were it sat two months ago.And these are reposted pics so go easy on me.



And the master cylinder (I remade a bracket to pull it in tighter)

I tore it down since for paint (rattlecan) and powdercoat.I have to rebuild my forks tomorrow and once its a roller again I will wire it.Hopefully this weekend.

This is how it sits right now just took these pics



I know these pictures are dark I only have time to work on this at night and my garage is pretty dark.Im sure when I get it out in the sun I will cringe at all the shit I missed.

Did you change the clutch cable for the lever? Or is it the stock eyelet type cable?

That is the stock eyelet cable with the eyelet cut off and a cable repair kit end on it.You can get them from any auto parts store

Love this build, I follow your NSE one religiously but somehow missed this one. I hadn't realized you're in Jax, you've got to let me come by some time and check them out!
