@@wd3930 I wasn’t going to wire or plumb the bike before I have everything else mocked up. If someone was looking to do this oil tank conversion I gave them an example of how it can be setup

@@flathead1930 I’m on Long Island ny, plan is to practice more fab but then I’m going to rebuild the front end w new seals and also do new stem bearings

@@rileyhicks8421 it’s a cheap thing to do, it’s just an o ring so I won’t have to every time. But it’s cheaper to do it for at least the first time then to pull your primary off to do it the second time

@@elzer0181 don’t have the heart to destroy the oem painted tank for the color, but setup wise this is only temporary!! If you liked the pink u may like my next paint job another bike I’m painting

@@michaelmaningding that’s a bummer man, hope the other straps held up to keep them usable

@@RGR_514 so I had some issues with the title. Vermont loophole closed I’m working on getting a title at the moment so I can resume this project!!

@@SlappysGarage excited to see the next steps😁🤘🏻

I did get jump on that bike, my plans outweigh my skill at the moment. Need some more practice fabricating to get the parts where I want it!!

@@cjbat8794 all depends on the used parts market. Mids, 250ish plus an inner primary (wideglides don’t usually have a mid shaft hole) 100-200ish (would be cheaper to have yours machined out if you know a machinist). Plus gaskets would be 400-500 in total. Chain drive kits can be 250+ without labor you are looking at $650-750 in parts. Now both are necessary to remove an inner primary so if you want both it’s best to save on gaskets and do them together

@@marcodavila3858 this is a 4+ tube with a +2 on the dampener, till death cycles sells them and can be either +2 or +4. So it’s sitting about 6 over

@@SlappysGarage Oh I see, I hope with the +6 bars I can raise the front of my bike enough, thanks

@@Ldog2016 do it up!!

@SlappysGarage mines an 04 so things just gotta be difficult

@@Ldog2016 just a lot more wires, to cleanup, for a swingarm chopper. Personally I’ve always like carburetors it can make it much easier to clean up the harness converting it!!

I have acarb

@@Ldog2016 I was mistaken but that makes it much easier, I haven’t really messed with any rubber mounted sportsters, I didn’t realize they came in a with a carb when they changed!!

It was a buddy’s but he liked every muffler combination they offet!!

@@shovelheadd93 I’m very much a twin cam dude but I think I have to revamp this next to my style to rip around the island soon!

no. its a swingarm in a chopper style.

@@Mitchellkzk we are in talks of finally going hard tail but for now he’s enjoying the swingarm style chopper

Your ass and back and money will appreciate you if you just leave it with a swing arm. Even in Texas I feel like a hard tail is asking for a major wreck on these highways when you hit that one shitty spot.

@@markwybierala4936 now the problem with the front fender is the wide tires and wider trees, personally I want to make a fork brace and shave off those mounts when I get the time

that’s why he had to call it in because they can’t actually preform dangerous acts near them other than mabey speeding🗿

You might want to watch what people can do on Harley’s before thinking this way

I’ve wanted to build a chopper since I started riding and 1 year to owning one in I am just starting to make it my own. Probably will get to ride it around in the fall if I don’t let my adhd start 3 more projects

@@SlappysGarage I love it. Yeah, I had a kid and the money ran out before I could do the hardtail. Ended up removing the monoshock and letting the swingarm come up until it bottomed out. Welded it together and rode it. I'll get it done for real one day but it's been just fine so far. Just insanely low.

Any bike I ride is never ending project. Constantly tweaking or changing. But I also can’t help a seemingly good deal i won’t touch for years

Thank you, definitely the best Harley to ride!!

Wolf of Wall Street, it’s a movie.

​@@red5153same thing

@@TravisRummer that’s just less things to go wrong!!

@@omw2fymom76 well for my next series I just picked up a 2000 dyna frame and low mile power plant yesterday. Going to be starting that project real soon.

@@Roguish77 I put together my first bike in a shed, man I froze my ass off. At least now I have enough room to have some buddy’s hang around while we get something done!!

Man I was born in the suburbs but yearn for the sticks, sounds like a good time

@@brianehrlich339 yes that is my fxr, I was referring to 883s thinking there bike is faster

It’s an automatic ?

At least the rear is smaller!!

@@SlappysGarage 😂

eBay, 99-01 are a different primary so be careful. Otherwise any reputable machinist can bore u a hole in the proper location
