Default 99 Sportster S makeover finally done.

Been laboring on this thing since Nov. Well not really laboring, more like waiting on $. It was fugly as hell when I scooped it off craigslist. Went front to back, top to bottom on it. 88" Axtell motor, Hammer a/c, RB Racing pipe, powdered wheels, 8" risers, gloss white powder coated tins, Biltwell seat and grips, New Avon's, and a laundry list of other stuff. Bike pulls like a freight train with the big motor, suspension is tight as a drum, and it looks bad as a **** IMHO. Never a huge fan of white but Chad1200 's bike convinced me. For sale too if you're interested. Located in Las Vegas. 6k.

Not keen on the bars, but otherwise looks great and I like the idea of an 88" engine!

That would look **** with a nice set of 14" apes on it.
Good job!

Lol, thanks. I'd rather have a sister that's a ***** than a bike with apes. But to each their own.

looks great. the risers are way too high for my taste though. i think it would look amazing with 2 or 3 inch risers

Hahaha! I couldn't have said it better myself.


Shiftace, you absolutely killed it with this build. Great work!


Also, I'm happy to hear that my Sportster influenced your color choice. I actually sold it few weeks ago.
