      This bike is pretty sweet.

      When Martini hit its 150th anniversary, Shaw Speed & Custom joined the celebrations by creating a pair of hot-rodded Harley Sportster XL883Rs.



      Did you attend BF7? Roland Sands Design and Powerplant Motorcycles are two of my favorite builders at the moment.


      But then I have a perma hard-on for The Speed Merchant and Suicide Machine Co and how they post everything regarding flat track racing. I would do dirty things to a flat tracker/street tracker build. I think a FXR would be a good foundation. I will always like a rigid knuckle/pan/shovel but an FXR is probably more fun to ride.

        I love the martini livery

        yeah I went to BF but only on sunday and I basically left after 2 hours because I was melting lol. I typically have way more fun that Friday before at cooks corner.

        im more of a traditional chopper guy but I can appreciate any bike.

        if you are doing that kind of build I would def change my answer and say 1200 sporty.

              did a whole lot of troubleshooting the cruise control system for the past week. somehow its working again...thankfully.

              but i forgot to update that i made a nice little voltmeter setup for under $2

              i bought this cheapo on ebay



              then i gutted a hazard switch and mounted it inside.

              finished product.

                Beautiful car! Nice work! I have been eyeing one of those suede Mtech 2 wheels. Enjoy her!

                Is it Diego on the board that redoes the clusters?

                    well i would hardly call this a "build" thread since im not really fabricating anything but go ahead and move it over. :)

                      wow awesome progress man. all of your touches are spot on.

                      Do you ever have to go back to NY to get inspection stickers? Or since its always out of state, you don't even bother with inspection?

                          Hey sweet steering wheel, I've heard both good and bad with these Mtech II wheels install.
                          Was yours a straight bolt on?

                            that happened to me once and luckily it was right before I installed my euro lights.perhaps it's time for the smoked lights?

                            That sucks though. Truck fling a rock into the grille?

                                I bought glass coverage through my insurance for dirt cheap. It also covers lights and fogs. It'll save people like us a fortune when things like this happen.
