Building my father's sporty

[Jimbeam]

My father recently passed so I'm custom building his sporty in his honor.

I will say, it is not my style but it is great that you are finishing for your pops. Keep it up. I dont know your experience level but if you get stuck feel free to ask as many questions as needed, just for christ sake give specifics. LOL. I built my sportster out of a bike i got from my grndpas estate after he passed and it is a great feeling.

Interesting 2004-up swingarm. Post pics when you tear the bike down for blasting and paint.

What year is the frame itself?

[Jimbeam]

The frame its self is a 1987. I fabbed a 2005 swing arm to fit so I could run the 200 wide tire

I'm pretty experienced. Been a high end show car & drag car builder all my life & thanks for the help offer. I may pick your brain about some things.

Cool. Did you keep the later better spherical bearings?

[Jimbeam]

No I cut my old swing arm & welded ithe front half of itt to the 2005 swing arm so it was an easy bolt on deal when I was done.
