2000 1200 with plenty of chrome and a 16/21 combo. Still a bit left to do. Currently waiting on paint and I wanted to pull it out in the sun to share a walk around. Enjoy!

Anyone have experience buying any of those seat/ p pad combos for $150 off eBay? Wondering if any are real or if they’re all scams…

My bearing support is causing the shaft to get into a bind. I’ve been reading mixed reviews on fellas not running bearing supports, but also where fellers say you have to have a bearing support, but also I’m being told it depends on the shaft. Any input would be appreciated

I recently sent my frame to a company to hardtail my sportster frame. It came back and I can’t seem to get the motor to fit properly. Is it something I’m doing or could the hardtail be off? In the video the motor mounts do not seem to line up. I’m very confused

Anyone have anything they have fabbed up for cruise control or store bought? Got a sportster and looking for a solution but the no front brake handle has me stumped. I’ve got a really long ride planned in September. 

Maybe I can just mount a brake handle and run on of the cheapy throttle lock solutions?

Thanks!

Pics don't do the tank justice. Super heavy flake on the blue. I dig it! Hot rod chop coming along nice, in my opinion

Not a chopper, but chop-inspired build

I’m selling or trading my  1968 triumph project chopper. Almost everything is complete even had the motor running. Freshly rebuilt motor, all brand new electrical ran, etc I have just about everything needed to completely finish building it along with extras. No title but I ran a check and it’s clean, and I have the phone number for a guy who can get a brand new title for it I just haven’t gotten around to doing it. Almost 7k into the bike and all the heavy lifting has been done. Need a new motor for my truck so 3k firm or trade for a solid fresh sbc 350

Ok I got it in my possession! What 3” primary would you go with that is the least expensive to get it running

Sup y’all, working on my first build and I’m just not a big fan of how low the rear sits. The current tire is only temporary and is on a 16” wheel. It’s got 3.5” of clearance off of the ground (is that average height?). Will a shinko 270 raise this fucker higher or should I just go for an 18” rear? I feel like I’m leaning towards just going with an 18”, even though it’s a more expensive route, but I just wanted to get some feedback from the community to see what y’all think. Thanks. 🤘🏽

Sits too low for my liking. Different tire? Or bigger wheel?

I just picked up this tank for 10 bucks and I have no idea what kind of cap it needs- anyone else know? Thank you

I have a wheel I bought through tc bros, and when I had my tire to be mounted and balanced they tech said it was bent and he couldn’t do it.  Called tc bros and they sent me a new wheel, and said I could keep this one.  Well I have no need for it and really don’t feel like taking the time out of a build I am barely getting done, to true it.   I really don’t want to ship it, I am near Biltwell in Temecula if anyone wants it.   Brand new.  Figured I can help a guy building on a budget!  Not a spool, one side has rotor.   (FITS HARLEY FX,SPORTSTER 1984-1999)     For If the form doesn’t allow this please take it down

Free wheel….

Was able to push the bike out a few weeks ago to get a look at the final mock up before scattering it to go off to powder coat and chrome and snagged this video. Some pieces have already started coming back and a dry run assembly to make sure everything still lines up has started on the coffee table. Wiring and plumbing all still needs to happen ( that's not the sporty idling in the video) and I have an issue with my clutch not working which is kinda the elephant in the room at the moment.
