Chris, great looking bike, really impressed with all the work you've done. A couple of questions on parts:

1. What rear view mirror do you have there on the right side of the bike, that doesn't look HD and I didn't see anything on the parts list that looked like that was it.

2. What's the "fin" looking part on the bottom of the frame behind he front wheel? Seen em all over but I don't know what they are called...

3. The tops of your evo are black, did they come that way or is that a swapped out part. I am very newb and don't know what that part of the engine is called so you probably referenced that and I just don't know! Thanks.

 

Thanks a lot.


The Mirror is the Arlen Ness Mini Oval Black you can find them here:

The "fin" is called a chin spoiler and it is made by Harley Davidson the part number is 58882-04DH and you can find it here:

Hope that helps

 

Nice mods. Those rims are really catching my eye!

 

Thanks a lot. I love them too I fought with myself about going black ops or contrast cut. Im glad I went contrast.

Just read thru your entire build; pricey, but truly an amazing job! Glad I read carefully, because I was going to comment on your initial choice of suspension. You won't be sorry about switching to the longer Stiletto's. I believe, had you stayed with the slammers in the rear, you would have had nothing but disappointment with the bikes handling characteristics. Correct me if I am wrong, did you keep the slammer front springs? If after riding your current configuration, you find that front travel and handling are less than desirable; you might consider the stock length Progressive front springs. They were the best "bang for the buck" performance mod I put on my build($99). All aspects of handling were improved.

Hope to see more of your cafe, and I'll be sure to check out your build thread on XL. I have found that posting a build thread on more than one forum makes for a richer experience, because observations tend to be different. Which, in turn gives you the builder, broader insight and hopefully a more satisfying project. Again, great build.

Best regards

Rod

 

Thanks a lot for the comments Rod. I too am glad I decided on the Stiletto shocks. They are great. Yes I kept the Slammer springs in the front. I wanted to lower the front just a touch and they feel great. The bike really performs and handles exceptional.....for an 883 anyway. I am very happy about it.


I have the same build thread going on XL, ChopCult and HDRidersU.S.A . Only difference is the specific comments and answers from others. The XL one got a little out of control for a little while then the guy got banned. All good now though.

 

Put a couple hundred miles on her today. The bike ran great and the suspension was awesome. I am starting to push it a little more each ride.
I have to say so far it is sooooo much fun to ride. Since I raised the rear and slightly lowered the front the bike drops into turns much better than before but because it is a little top heavy it takes a litter more effort to stand it back up coming out of the turn than I would like.


Overall I am very, very happy with everything about the bike.

I rode it the other day to work and coming home it was dark and freezing so I just ordered some Venture Heat gear to keep my *** warm.


Here are a few pics from ride today.










Yep thats me.














Lets Go.....

Good to know you are pleased with the performance of the Slammer front springs. I have wondered many times if they would be adequate. Any idea on the travel you are getting? How about dive when braking?

I've noticed you're not the only one who has opted to lower the front a tad to improve handling on a sportster cafe build. I may be wrong(I'm sure I'll be corrected if I am), but I think the Burly guys went with a lowered front as well. Not sure what their solution was. Anyway, great photo's in your last post. The wooden barn makes for a nice backdrop.
