Dont know if anyone on the board is into motorcycles but thought id share anyways. First, a little history, this is my first bike, my dad bleeds HD black and orange and has tore his old bikes down and rebuilt them from the ground up adding his own touches here and there so he will be there to help and guide me as this is my first build as well. The bike is a 1980 sportster ironhead, im a small guy, 5'4 130lbs so I wanted a smaller bike to ride and felt comfortable with. I really like the looks of old school bobbers so that is what I have decided to build. I had a guy named Kevin who owns his own company "Thumper Customs" in Rock Hill, SC cut my frame and make it a hard tail. I think he did an awesome job, he didnt just weld a hard tail section in, but he bent the tube up and all. Anyway, dont have much done, just have the bike kinda mocked up to get an idea of whats going on. Still have loads of work to do but thought id share the project with you guys/gals see what yall thought.
