I bit the bullet and bought s brand new Iron to make into a cafe bike. I've loved cafe and tracker style bikes for many years. Now I'm finally in a position to have two bikes. I ride daily and don't have s car, so a project like this requires s two-bike stable.

Anyway, here is the Pinterest pin.

I'm at a stopping point waiting for parts, so the process will be stagnant for a week or so.

 

My parts shipped today. Probably 5 or 6 days from SoCal to Savannah.

In the meantime, I've added a bunch of photos to the Pinterest page. Mostly kit parts and additional non-kit stuff that I'll be installing.

Looking forward to seeing your build SLV! I'm still mad at you for selling your dyna but this looks like it will be a nice build too. I don't have pintrest and when I pull up your page it keeps throwing pop ups on the screen so I can't see ****. Post up some pics when you can. Any motor work planned? 1250 would be sick

 

A Dyna is just a fat Sportster! LOL! Yeah, I miss it, but it wasn't right for the long rides, so the BMW is my traveling bike.

I'll get pics up tomorrow. I didn't realize that people couldn't see Pinterest with an account.

Removed some junk.



Cut the struts.


New AC


Playing with a paint idea


Relocated coil and ignition.

 

15" shocks plus the cafe seat installed tomorrow is bars, fairing, rearsets.

 

Looking good man. What exhaust are you going to run? Does anybody make clip ons for the sporty front end?

 

Thanks a lot.

The pipe is from DP Customs and is identical to this one.


Clip-ins are available, but I'm using clubman bars. Same hand location, but a full bar that uses the tree mount. Like this.

 

Very cool! It's coming along nicely!

 

Well where's the pics of the new parts?!!

 

Paint Idea looks great

(That's a lot of "junk" you removed!) Going to be unique build
