Default Stock Sportster to Retro Bobber - Step by Step

Hey guys,

First off, I appreciate all the support, kind words, and encouragement thru this process. This forum proves invaluable! 5 Months of work, and she's finally done! As promised, I filmed the whole thing. Enjoy, and feel free to pass on. Here are a couple pix as well, and there are more in my album here at HDforums. See you down the road!
