Crazy looking Sportster there... that fork is very strange as is the steering stabilizer,. I'm sure they work but damn, they look like they came off an International Tractor!

I took mine up Coffee Pot Road in White River NF. It was a very nice ride, the weather's great but it's killing me, I've got work to do on the bikes, can't seem to stop riding long enough to tear into them!

Beautiful bike! What suspension are you running on the back? Is the front suspension stock?

Rears are 15" Progressive 413's. Sort of a test to see what I need back there. They work pretty well. Front is the stock Sport cartridge fork. I think I could use a slightly longer front fork now, maybe 2" overstock but if I do that I'll need to go with Race Tech emulators and I'm not sure I want to do that... I dunno, for now the weather's nice so I'm not real eager to pull it apart and miss out on riding time...



This pic shows what 2" of rear shock will get you... I like it!

It's big FUN... great torque and power and there's no sound like a sportster from 3000 to 6500, she just snarls!

Not done yet, I've got more changes planned, just too busy right now!

That looks good and just right for a scrambler. It is amazing how well that motor works finding traction in the dirt. Its a hoot

You got that right! I'm gonna ride it for the season this way. Well except for the tires Venoms are great on the street but don't really "hook up" in the dirt..

I just changed the stock 1200R stainless Roadster bars for some black 883N bars. The improvement is subtle but noticeable. Just a bit lower, but 2.5" narrower.

Before:
Bars4

After:
NewBars2

Comparison:
Bars3
