Were did you get your rear seat hoop and fender? I'm starting a similar project with a 06 1200C. Going for something like this...

 

Dime city cycle has the hoops, you can also find them on ebay.

 

Cool! I bought my seat loop from Dime City Cycle. I purchased the 1" upswept seat loop. G.B.

 

That seat with the pleated cover really has a nice retro look to it

 

The one thing on that bike I would NOT do is the side mount speedo. One drop on a dirt road and its gone. Otherwise would be a cool bike to copy.

 

those look like stock rear shocks on that one.

 

I gotta say, I do like these bikes, but did wonder about the weight, when off-road. Then I read an article in Road Runner magazine about the new BMWs and with the "adventure" model weighing in at almost 600lbs wet, I no longer feel that way. Still no feather. The beemer has quite a bit more power, 134hp and 105tq, but not sure it's really needed. It does have a 6 spd which would be nice on the sporty, in my opinion.

Someday I want to follow in the footsteps of you guys and build one from a sporty.

 

I have always liked Scramblers.....my first one was a 69' BSA 441 Victor. I considered buying the Ducati Scrambler when they first came out but I was doing long distance riding and a Scrambler didn't fit the bill. Now, I'm just too damn old...........

 

What is it they say, age is just a number. I am 66 and would love one BUT I would not be a hard core off rider with it. But scramblers are not hard core dirt bikes anyway.

 

Perhaps I shouldn't have referred to age (I'm 69) but mileage instead.......this body is very high mileage.......been rode hard and put up dirty too many times.
