Well, I figured I would contribute to this section with my old Harley I built. It's an 83 FXE 4 speed, I did everything minus the paint. I bought it as a basket case, literally in crates. I put the thing in the back on my Jetta to bring it home haha. I stripped the bike down to nothing, powder coated and chromed or polished everything. It was loud, low and fun as hell. I miss it all the time. I spent about 3 months every weekend building it and sold it to go back to school.......which in some ways I regret and wish I would have sold my ///M3 instead at the time. It was pretty quick for a shovel head as well, punched out, big cams, carb, ignition, etc....the fun stuff. I slammed it as low as I could as well haha, it would drag the outer primary and the pipes, and the pegs haha. I stripped as many electronics off as I could. I got rid of the electric start and had kick only. I just wanted a bare bike the had sole.....I miss the purple beast  Sorry for the low quality pic, I had to scan them        |

Haha, I would probably ditch the engin on it haha. I've been known as the butcher some times and do hybrids swaps. Technically I do have a bike, sort of lol. It's an old dixie mini bike that I shoved a 12 horse briggs in. It roasts the tire at just about any speed which is scary fun haha. I would probably try to mangle a 600cc under there or something 2stroke like a 250r engine or similar. Something to write home to mom about anyway  I might consider doing something just to do it now  |
