Sportster 883L conversion with Frankenstein Kit

Rick look close at paughco to be sure the axle and tower is set up with a place to mount your shock absorbers, I know some of them didn't have them.:Shrug:

You have experience in the build process also so one thing i didn't particularly care for was, you would have to order everything as a component? (at least when i was considering my build)

An all inclusive kit made more sense to me?ThumbUp
With the 1989 model and other older machines, check to see about reinforcing the upper motor mount OK?:Shrug:
I had to do that on my tour glide.

thank you for the kind comments, it was such a good feeling doing this job. Its one of those things that did not go on and on, it was quick that I was left with sense of accomplishment and a job complete, so often with the jobs they never are quite done. grin

You will really like your conversion,wifey and I love ours.Try about 38 P.S.I. in front tire,22 in rears.Handling improves,rides softer.I rode it some without rake kit,just as a comparison,then installed raked trees.Big difference.

I just have to share what a great kit the Frankenstein Trikes group makes for the 883 sportster. The kit arrived and was on the bike in 3 days, fenders painted to match the bike a week later, test drive and then full run on the hwy and back-roads. This kit works so very well. I am attaching a link to all the photos and comments you could want as well as attaching an initial photo here. We learned about the kit and read other reviews here on this site, Thank You, lots of good information and made the decision easy.
