This was an older project, really really fun build, great bike to ride too.
I did absolutely everything myself including the frame mods and fabrication, to the paint job, to hand stitching the leather seat myself as well.
The bike appeared in this issue of BikeWorks magazine
Also appeared in American Iron magazine
Heres what I started with, really ratty basket case '91 sporty
Frame stripped
Modifications included putting the turn signals in the frame tube ends, and converting the rear fender to a "strutless" type
Mods done, and frame primed
Ready for paint
Painted with Dodge Viper Blue Metallic, still the coolest shade of blue there is IMO.
Motor was reworked, and heavily polished
More polishing
Final assembly begins
Mocking up the tank and rear fender
Rear wheel mock up
Another shot
Mock up of the License frame
Another shot
motor Mock up
Rear wheel done
My custom side cover, all the excess metal was removed so the oil lines, and pump are visible. Gives the engine more of a "sepperate" appearance
All done, ready to roll!
