Well it's a start, a meager start....Gonna be building a Hard Tailed Sportster based Bar Hopper on the cheap, a mix mash of HD components...
Here is were it all will start, Swap Meet Rat wanted $125 for the set, ended up paying $60.00....

Sweet Project..
Are they fully Aluminium?
I believe so.....(Aluminum)
man those are cool wheels and for a steal!!
What are those things molded into the shape of the forks? Are those for the fender mounts?? Pretty bulky if that's what they are. Either way, That's a really well shaped bike, I think I'd definitely enjoy it for getting around town.
looks fun. I've got to finish the GS before I can do anything else to my M50.

Yes, on those "Wide Glide HD Legs" those are the Fender mounts, but there very easy to shave off with a angle grinder.....
servus,
good project, but its hard to top this:

its perfect.
are you doing it with a harley frame or with a harley frame?????
Yes, I will be looking for a complete, running but beat Sportster...Then I will order from Kansas Kustoms a 4" extended, weld on Hard Tail rear frame section.
The reason I like this bike and build, is that it uses many HD parts from other bikes, usually "Take Off" parts that the Chromeaholics remove when they start adding "Bling" to tier steeds, so the parts required are cheap and available.
servus,
respect and good luck :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

I'll need it, and getting respect from you, a man of your talent, is HUGE in my book, thank you so much, I've admired your work for some time now.
The only thing I'd have to add to that bike are some fenders. With the rigid tail and those giant springs on the seat, I can picture myself hitting a pothole and getting trampolined right onto that rear tire. I'd definitely try to keep those things covered haha.
