SBS Project - Sportster Chop w/ Lots of Photo's
This thread is NOT about a trike, and if Zook or the moderators think it is inappropriate for Trike Talk, I will understand if it is removed.
I am posting it because I think there will be ideas in this thread that will cross over, and be of use to some who are doing Harley Trike Conversions.

Well, we vacillated a lot over the last few months on what our Project bike would be for this winter.
It's been decided.
Going to build a Sporty, from the frame up-
[B][I]Goals are for it to:
Run, Ride, Look & Sound Better than when we started...AND for it to be One of a Kind![/I][/B]
This will be our 7th project bike in the last 8 years, and it is our most ambitious.
[B]Photo's will be taken, all along the way, and posted in this thread.[/B]
We'll be taking it down to the frame, chopping the back end off, converting it to a hardtail.
I'm 58, with a bad shoulder (and a few other aches & pains) but am planning on this being my daily rider, so even though it will be a hardtail, my goal is to make it a smoother ride than a stock Bagger.
[I]We've already got the bones of it sketched out, along with a lot of ideas...but I am sure we will be developing parts along the way too.[/I]
First order of business is to get a donor bike, which should be done within the next few weeks.
We already have a few parts laid out, and some more on the way to us.
As soon as the donor bike is in our hands, we will be tearing it down to the frame, taking pics along the way and posting them up here.
Should be fun! :D

Thanks Kevin-Gerald Martin
Just want to post a thank you to Kevin from DK customs. I have bought a few things from him and the service was unbeatable. Also the desk service was great. I also emailed Kevin about a Frankenstein kit for a sportster and the response was immediate and extremely helpful in my decision to build this trike. I have asked many others about building this trike and got very little response. Kevin's advise was beyond any other advise I received So thanks Kevin Inhope that every one that reads this buys something from you
