Pics of my chopper finally!

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?

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.

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!

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.
