My first bike.. a 97 sporty

[Y0GKJ]

Bought my first bike about a year ago.. slowly but surely making it a decent looking bike. This is how she started out. 97 sporty






Very ugly. I know.

Sooo I started knocking things off.. had to start with that ugly back rest





And then pull the eagle off the battery box and paint it

My boss hooked me up with mini apes and a better looking seat



I eventually found a cheap seat on Craigslist. It was for a newer bike but I just had to make some brackets.



I finally got around to making a license plate bracket to mount to my lower shock.



Later on I bought a cheap eBay brake light to mount on the license plate bracket. I changed my rear tire from a 130 to a 140. (Could've gone bigger honestly). Cut the struts off my frame and cut my fender. Thankfully getting rid of those horrible turn signals.

That looks great just like it is.... Now ride it and enjoy it.... Be safe........

I then got some temporary hard tail struts that lowered my bike 4". Both of my top shock mounts broke.. lol I was using a short handle 3/8 ratchet too. Oh well I rigged up new mounts and had a friend machine me a couple spacers.

eBay is the best. 30 bucks for this air cleaner and it's pretty.
