Hey all,
Jsut posting some new picts of my 96 sporty. Some mods here and there....

 

That's one of the baddest looking bikes I've seen. Very nice.

 

I like. I bet it's loud.

 

Thanks. yeah, its loud and because the pipes are cut so close to the heads it has the occassional blue flame action which can be fun. The only thing is your jeans smell like fuel after every ride since those pipes dump right under the boots.

 

That mirrored rear wheel is awesome. Good work buddy, your bike is one of the nicest I've seen.

 

Very nice I want to see some more pics!!

 

Thanks Sauer, much appreciation.

On a side note, for anyone struggling with finding smaller batteries to fit custom battery trays:

With the battery relocated to under the oil can It needed a MUCH smaller battery tray which meant I needed a MUCH smaller battery. This proved to be a real PIA to find a battery esspecially when it comes to maintaining the min. CCA ratings required. Well there are 2 companies, yes only 2 that I could find, that make smaller batteries for Harley's. One is called Ballistic Performance and the other is called Shorai. They are lithium batteries that are typically used in race bikes but now develop batteries for V-Twins. No need to charge or run a tender on them and actually put out a ton more CCA than the stock HD battery or any other. The great part - they are super small and only weigh 2 lbs vs the 12 lbs stock HD battery. I like the HD battery but just couldnt fit it in the space. The cost of the lithium battery is 180 bucks, a little steep but I had no choice. Ill keep everyone updated as to whether these batteries really stand the test.

 

wow very nice bike!

 

not a fat tire guy myself but yours isn't too obnoxious. that fvcken pipe is the poop tho! any video of that thing idling?

 

Looks good. Can you post some more pics? Specifically of the rear end setup. Is it hardtailed using the stock swingarm?


ETA: I realize its not really a factory swingarm. But is the frame rail just extended down to the swing arm?
