Another Sporty chopper build

[m2bueller]

Sold the glide front end. Waiting on the Springer.
The large items on the punch list are
Nosecone ignition
Pipes
Forward controls
Plus a million small things.
Gonna have to take it easy on the spending for a little while. Need to make some serious payments to my divorce lawyer.
Why is divorce so expensive? Because it's worth it.

Did a little reworking my stock rear brake bracket to work with the TC brothers hardtail.

I may end up polishing it.

The Specs on the final bike
Everything is either new or thoroughly gone through.
Titled as a 1998 Sportster 883.
Still retains VIN on frame and engine cases.
The frame is the stock frame cut in half and a TC Bros. hardtail was attached by a certified welder.
Psycho Colors in Cocoa powdercoated the frame “Near Chrome” as well as the TC Bros Pill oil bag, battery box and some smaller pieces .
The Engine has a 1200 conversion with Wiseco forged pistons,
Screaming Eagle ignition,
New Keihin 38 mm carb,
Andrews N2 cams
Paughco shotgun pipes,
It has a 4 under DNA springer front end with a brand new 21” front wheel and tire
Fresh custom paint on the tank and fender.
New Drag Specialities leather low profile seat.
Barebones wiring, headlight, taillight, brake light and ignition with VOEs still intact.
New Chrome voltage regulator
The starter has a direct contact button on the solenoid.
The brakes are a stock style rebuilt rear caliper actuated by a new chrome master cylinder with a stainless-steel brake hose.
15” custom Ape Hangers with old skool “Coke bottle” grips.
You won't find any black “invisibility” paint on the bike. In fact the only black paint on whole the bike is on the starter.

And the tires and the hand grips................. LOL

Nice looking bike by the way..........

[Murphy]

They aren't painted are they?

Thanks for the Cudoes.

Good luck with your sale. Most chopped Sporty's go for around $3500 so... yeah good luck.

[cdwillis]

[Murphy]

Yep.

It's in the classifieds

[Murphy]

And just like that, she's gone. Sold last night for nearly what I asked. Time to start another build.
