Man, what an awesome Sporty. Really looks good...

 

Thanks, man. Here's one more....

 

Really, really, cool bike. How does she run?

 

Runs great - no issues. I trust it to go anywhere. It was pretty ratty when I bought it; rusty and had been repainted red from the original black. I've owned it for 18 years now and know just about every nut and bolt on it. It's sort of a resto-mod, not stock, but a custom, backdated style. And it's black again ..... I doubt I'll ever sell it!

Skinner, nice ride! That's the first pic I've seen, what are the details of it?

 

1976 XLH (now XLCH = kick start) Ironhead 1000cc Sportster.

Major work = Installedkick start, converted to electronic ignition, alternator conversion, bolt on hard tail, wide glide front end,completelyre-wired bike, new sheet metal, pipes, chrome, ect.

If I knew then what I know now (whenI started this project), I would of changed it to a right side shift and eliminated the wrap around shifter linkage nonsense they used in the '75 / 76 model years. Oh well, it just leaves another thing on the "to do" list. I think I see some strok'n in my future down the line though. [8D]

Here's a couple "before" pics.
