The "Look at my bike; is it cool? What should I do next?" THREAD

n4 cams, rsd cleaner, pangea speed streamliner bars, 4"over, some other small things.
planning on adding some progressive shocks, not sure what size I want yet though. Made my own handlebar extensions as the streamliners are a bit low (just need to polish them)

Here is my sporty transformation in the past year. Traded one of my AR's for this bike and she is a work in progress. I'm a cheap ass and get most parts on craigslist or facebook marketplace or fab them myself. Spent real money on the pistons, gaskets, and tires though. WHen its all said and done, wnat the old frisco chopper look. Keeping the stock rake with longer forks and good paint.

1)Started as an 883, i bought some wiseco 1200 pistons, and took the jugs to a local machine shop had them bored and honed. 2)Changed tanks (twice). 3) fabbed a foot clutch and jockey shift, 10" risers with drag bar (currently fabbing 12"H bars). 4)added on roadglide air shocks with a 3" rear drop bracket (more comfortable since i do ride this across Texas). 5) Put on long 2" pipes. 6)2 inch tank lift 7)made DIY air cleaner 8) removed speedo, blinkers, tach, and relocated key

Future mods- removing all controls from bars this weekend and moving start switch , and key behind battery box. chop rear fender, shave lowers and add 6 over forks, finish my sissybar and aux fuel tank that bolts to sissybar. Paint tank, rear render, and possibly frame black with red flake designs

81 fxwg my first build! My father in law use to ride back in the 60s and I tried to build it based on pics of his pan and he won’t let me put a smaller tank or anything else but a wide glide on it or he’ll make fun of me haha!

That is easily one of the greatest pictures i've seen in a while.

Sportster with the XS.


Heritage

Bought the Sportster a few months ago. Already had a haifley bros hardtail kit and oil bag and 6 over forks. I changed the handlebars to prism supply cyclone bars, 21" front wheel and just put on a new Haifley Bros king and queen seat. Still need to do something about that headlight and the tank.

Heritage is stock with a bunch of chrome trim. Bought it a month or two ago so I could cruise in comfort with the old lady. It will probably stay just as stock as it is now.

83 shovelhead swingarm I'm finishing up now. Just gotta get it started... Having electrical issues and need to replace the kicker gears. Otherwise it's a wrap.

I'm thinking sidecar. The sort with the tilting frame & wheel so the bike can still lean. Fork is already set up for it.

Steadily making changes

@TriNortchopz thanks man. I have this nice billet wide glide laying around and some shaved lowers I was curious on how it would sit and ride.
