figured I'd come over here to start a build thread.
1997 fatboy. all tins either scratched or dented from a low side. picked the bike up from a guy who cant ride anymore
going to make a sorta rigid looking bobber outta it. here is how it looked when i got it, and here is how it looks as I await parts from black friday
if you squint it almost looks mint..lol 27k miles new carb new fluids new seat rashed pipes rashed master cylinder rashed brake lever rear fender scratched headlight rashed dented left side tank dented right side tank rashed air cleaner cover dented horn cover loose shifter linkage
offerup tank so i can ride bike while new tank gets sealed and painted installed purple....... not my cup of tea but ridable cutting rear fender struts off sooooo ugly... rsd tracker fender. but was just a mock up for a chopped fender in future. ill be getting the fender attached to swingarm and no fender struts.
3 wire turn signal to make brake light from drag scorpion seat new tubes weld on swingarm fender mounts gas cap single throttle cable, 1" throttle sleeve and cheap grips for now 5 3/4 headlight weld on backbone tank bungs 5" rear fender 2.1 gallon wasle mid tunnel tank 1\" axle mount plate holder
I think to start I'll use the fatboy front end. but I'm looking for a good deal on a 30's thru 40's springer. they are 2" shorter in that year range compared to 50s springers

Gonna cost big $$$$, look at reproductions for your application.
