Default '07 Sporty, Lots of custom work

So I bought this sporty a year ago and it looked like this...



First thing was of course pipes...



Time to strip it:



Now it looks like this.


Everything was removed this winter and powder coated black.

Upgrades/Changes:
Front rim is now a 40 spoke black rim.
Front headlight was relocated and visor removed.
Stock handle bars removed and replaced w/14" mini apes.
Speedometer housing was shaved and relocated.
Stock air cleaner replaced with Screaming Eagle Stage II air cleaner.
V&H short shots to replace original exhaust.
V&H fuel pack added.
Igition coil was relocated under tank on R side.
(still working on the actual igition location)
Mirrors, grips and pegs were replaced from chrome Willie G. to harley tribal set.
Removed mid controls and replaced with forward controls.
Removed peanut tank and replaced w/4.5gal.
Replaced stock derby cover w/ Willie G (powder coated black).
Replaced stock shocks with Burley 10.5" slammers.
Chopped rear fender.
Relocated rear brake light with fender light.
Relocated license plate (L.E.D. lit).

Whats left to do:
Rear 40 spoke rim.
Black levers.
Ignition relocation.
Boom-boom audio sound system.
Tank decals.
Fabricate a new housing for speedometer and powder coat it + remaining parts black.





I enjoy checking out all the posts about everyone elses projects. Figured it was time to share mine. Hope you enjoyed it.

How did you mount the dummy lights on your top clamp, maybe an obvious question but what the hell

Its the original speedometer housing. I just cut off the top and grinded it down.

Yesterday was the first time riding w/the new speedometer location, it's truely amazing. Total cost to relocated was $11 for the auto clamp and of course a little bit or time. But thats it
