Mods on my Bike...

[MeHigh]

Hi guys! It’s a big moment for me. After months of chopping ,stripping and designing, I’m starting to put on new parts, think about painting and stuff. Is nerve racking how much money and time you need for a true custom bike.
Is an 86 Sportster.
Right now is just the skeleton of my Baby!
Wide glide , double disk front with braided lines, chopped frame for a lower seat, big drag bar. The frame is sanded and waiting for the paint. New transmission from an 87 XL (C transmission).
The last 4 weeks I have emptied me credit card on Ebay….so now every day is like Christmas. New parts are coming with the currier every day. It’s great!!! Except the part when my wife is refusing to talk or have intimate moments with me. But you can’t have them all! Just kidding, she’s very supporting (and she’s locking over the my shoulder at the screen)!
So, I’m waiting for a 4,2 stretched softail tank, forwards controls, chrome fender struts, 96 up chromed handlebar controls, Arles Ness bullet hand grips, an Hypercharger(my favourite ), and a lot of other small parts…
I will update the thread every time I’m doing something to my baby… and is looking better(hopefully)
Cheers
