Well I know it's been forever. I've spent the past ~3 years building and riding rigid Sportsters, so my Street Bob has been neglected on the battery tender (shameful, I know). Well a couple months ago I was finally able to pay it off so it got put on the lift and stripped down.

Since a couple things are a bit unusual I wanted to share with the group. Here's a bit of what I've done the past month or so...

- Rewired the bike getting rid of all switch housings and installed a hidden start button
- Biltwell Whiskey Throttle (single cable)
- Chopped the rear fender (currently bed liner but off to powder next week)
- Installed a custom tank from Cory over at Maindrive Cycles (uses a Sporty fuel pump)
- Had my buddy Ryan lace a 21" wheel up to my stock hub
- Shaved and painted (bed liner) my fork lowers
- Relocated Speedo (used the original forward tank mount)
- Jockey Shift
- Side mount plate setup

I'm still waiting on my bars to come in from Stephan over at Zombie Performance (16" Riserless with a stash tube) as well as a new 200 White Wall for the rear.

Hope all is well with everyone.

P.S. - since I've been gone for so long, an update on my personal Sporty I built. It took Best in Class for the second year in a row at the Republic of Texas Rally.

 

Sharp looking , paint it metal flake Red or Blue ...... even Yellow .......

 

Thats awesome dude.
I love how you said, well i paid it off so on the lift she goes, lol.
So you havent been riding it much but now that you own it it gets a face lift, are you going to start putting the miles to her now?

Lump

 

Love what you did to the Bob... Especially the white walls... I traded in my Sporty because I wanted more legs & hated having to stop for gas every 90 or so miles- but gotta admit it looks good with that Sporty tank. Can't wait to see how it turns out once everything comes back from powder... Nice work!

 

The tank is going to get a heavy gold metal flake with some accents.

 

Well I bought it new in 2006 and it was my daily rider for a few years so it's got a little over 40K on the motor already. But yeah, I'll take it out more now. I've ridden my sporty every day for several years now, including three trips from Austin, TX to California and back.

 

Thanks! It's actually a hand formed tank due to the Dyna's square backbone. I wish it was as simple and just mounting a sporty tank on but that isn't the case. I'm getting about ~130 miles per tank thus far.

 

That is a neat lookin bike! The tank, bars and 21" wheel just look right together.

 

looking good!!! cant wait to see how it turns out

 

I think it looks sick. Not a fan of one white wall and not the other you should lace a new ring to the back to run a 2nd white wall. Love what you did on the tank I dont think a lot of people realize what it takes to pull that off. Really nice job
