Pics of my chopper finally!

[HardcoreZ28]

After almost a year of sneaking in work on it when I could in the late night hours my chopper is finally done. Picked it up in pieces last October but it was all there and the hardtail was already welded on. Blew the whole thing apart and did every nut, bolt, bracket, etc. Tore the whole motor apart too. It's running pretty good right now but there are a few oil leaks that I need to try and seal up. I know old Harley's leak but I'm determined to seal it up tight. Oh and it's an 80 Sportster with the 1,000 Ironhead motor.

What do you guys think?

Looks cool man!

[camaro2you]

Very nice, Ive had plans to do something like that for a while now but I'm just gonna sell the street bike for a cruiser till the car projects are done.

[mtg6486]

looks good

[HardcoreZ28]

Thanks! I'm ready to do another one now...more of a bobber style. Drag bars, no sissy bar, a little more color, but still very minimalist. The ironheads are very cheap to pick up in running condition but I'd like to step up to an Evo motor instead for the reliability.

[sweetbmxrider]

:drool: what a bad ass bike! the black motor looks sick.

[JW]

Looks really nice!

JW :D

[WildBillyT]

Bike looks awesome, Paul!

[The Fixer]

Very nice work Paul!

[Untamed]

Very nice Paul. Another candidate for a Steel and Skin shoot.

With the hardtail, I hope you can avoid every pothole, large crack and speed bump out there. Enjoy!

yea dude, the evo motors r sick, my fathers bike was a 92 or 93 heritage softail, hes been beating on it since he baught it new and hes never really had any major problems on it, its kept up with the anual maintenence and it runs damn good

[baddest434]

bike looks great paul!!

[btownws6]

not bad not bad i was looking into the v rod muscle by harley but couldn't afford it this season maybe next year

[r0nin89]

Thats sick. Pretty much what I would want a bike to be.

My friends dad has the same general style early 80's bike.

[Tru2Chevy]

Looks great Paul!

[NastyEllEssWon]

that looks awesome!!! maybe do another one of those celtic looking crosses on the sissy bar too?? :nod:

[HardcoreZ28]

I thought about doing a set of brass knuckles in the sissy bar and incorporating the turn signals into the finger holes somehow. We'll see.

i can see that....do little leds in the fronts of the knuckles...drill small little holes.....sequential turn brass knuckles would be P.I.M.P :drool:

[chrisfrom nj]

nice bike paul it looks great the place in east orange did a great job with the chrome

[deadtrend1]

I like it Paul!

[Fast92RS]

That thing is sweet

[Featherburner]

Not exactly my style but I can appreciate the craftsmanship. Good job!

[HardcoreZ28]

Thanks again. And yes I know the style isn't everyone's cup of tea, but hey I never got anywhere doing what everyone liked. And Featherburner is right...an appreciation for craftsmanship is the best form of respect in the custom world.

[Untamed]

Red and white stripes, huh? When are you planning to prospect...? 8-)

[PolarBear]

Did you talk to someone about trading this bike for a newer sportster?

[HardcoreZ28]

Did you talk to someone about trading this bike for a newer sportster?

No....planning to keep this one and get another.

[PolarBear]

I only ask because my cousin mentioned something about someone wanting to trade for his bike. It was an ironhead and had ape hangers that the guy wanted to trade for, sounded a lot like yours. I think my cousin wants to sell this too, I wanted to buy it sort of. Sorry dont know any details about it, I forget things easily.
