Rigid Sporty

For those who have been cost conscious the sporty has almost always been a great option. When building a custom bike these days one of the most cost-effective ways to go is purchasing a complete stock bike and using all of th drivetrain, wheels, brakes forks electronics and so on and put it all in a new rigid chassis with some new sheet metal. You cant beat the initial cost of picking up a late model sporty along with their great reliability over an earlier big twin. Just keep in mind that when you go to sell it, it will not be worth nearly what a big twin is either though. But if you aren’t planning on flipping it and want to get on the road it is a good choice. This bike was built once but after a mishap on the road it needed to be revamped again. This time he wanted that 70’s look super skinny yet very tall with a big sissy bar and large upswept pipes. I made the pipes, sissy bar, handlebars, mounted and modified the tank, and oil tank.

The oil tank is one of our F’ Bomb Kits http://www.bungking.com/tanks/oil-tanks.html
