    2005 HD Sportster Build

    Just updating this thread... Had a little fun with some 3M vinyl and vodka-Redbulls the other night. Was going for something new.. or at least something I've never seen. I like it and I've gotten great feedback from fellow riders so I guess it'll stay for a while. Also mounted a couple spare...

    Chopped the rear fender last night and wired up a new brake light. I want to round it out a little more and then weld up a rear fender rack. Just something I can bungee a bag or something to.

    Little update... rode a good 200 miles yesterday and it was solid the whole time. Hit wet and dry pavement, as well as a couple dirt roads. Bombing around with the family and friends... Here's some pics of the finished exhaust wrap.. also did an oil change.. I run Amsoil Synthetic

    Yep it's a thunderheader, chopped a bit.... and I love it. I just wrapped the entire exhaust with the DEI stuff. Noticeably quieter and looks rad. Only issue is I'd have to chop it even more or do something else if I decide to do rearsets

    Like a fucking boss thanks for asking! It's got a ton of torque.. I'll admit the torque will spin tires and wheelie in 2nd. Tires are newish and I dig them.. I've got a good handle on it though..they've got good grip. I've thought about trying the stilettos and I might do that too. It's a...

    Hey guys! It's been a while since I've had another build going on. I utilized this forum quite a bit when I was building cafe bikes and now I'm working on a tracker/scrambler build out of a 2005 Harley Davidson. I've wanted to rebuild a Harley for years.. finally found one and started work. It...

    So I decided to strip the tank down to bare metal, hit it with a flap wheel and sprayed it with some really expensive/quality clear. I really like the unfinished look of steel. So I went with it... My wife found this seat at a thrift shop for $2... I had a bunch of scrap steel and rod so I...

    Just updating this thread... It's been a while but I've got the paint done... I'm ordering a seat from dime city soon. Once the seat is on and a new battery installed I'll have the carbs sync'd and tuned. It's almost ready to ride. I'll keep updating this bike and adding more to it. It won't...

    No I don't think he did any cutting to the frame... I know he de-tabbed but I think that's it.

    Oh and I did relocate the battery to underneath the seat bump. I re-worked a lot of the wiring and had to replace some relays but it's all straightened out. No more ugly side covers...

    Well to update this thread my bike is complete and running. Fires up first click every time.... I'm going to be driving to Colorado in a few weeks and i'll bring the tank and whatnot with me to have my brother paint it. Then it's just adding the vinyl and taking the bike in to have the carbs...

    Thanks I finished up the wiring and got everything where it needs to be. I got the battery tray in the subframe zip-tied and epoxied. Once the epoxy is cured I'll get the battery installed and that should be it for the electrical. I do need to figure out a new mount for the rear brake switch...

    Just got done working out some electrical mods, I decided that I did not want the battery in the stock location with that goofy cover.. so I put it in the seat bump. I still have to make the battery box/holder and mount it but the electrical is done. I had to extend a few wires and fix some...
