Stepping outside our comfort zone again. Scrambler build went pretty well and for those of you that gave us props, it's much appreciated. This time we're looking to transform a raggedy Sportster into a legit Cafe. If all goes well, we'll create some new parts and maybe learn something along the way. As always, your input is appreciated.
Our victim this time is a pretty sad 2003 883. It was a test bed for our cable kit program and then stuck in a corner to rot. Clogged carb and very dead battery attest to that.
Yeh, somewhere along the way the airfilter went missing.
and one of the risers shattered. A really really long time ago.
For now, we'll use the stock wheels and maybe some vintage looking Avons. Probably start by stripping off all the unnecessary parts and weld up a set of Clubman bars. That should give us a feel for what it'll take to make an ass-low XL into something that wants a level looking chassis.
More pics on the way as we break stuff. Stay tuned for another action packed episode of "Sportster and Sawzalls" some time next week.
