I'll have to go take a peek. I have seen Some redneck Big Twin stuff before....real different look. Not real crazy about the huge diameter tubing on the frames of some of the new frames coming out.

damn Tony where ya been hiding out for the winter?Haven't seen ya since I didn't see you in Daytona.Sportsters are really going cheap around here right now for some reason.Lots of whole good running bikes to be had for 3k or less.I'm building one now and hope to be up and running by March. Maybe we won't have a good time again at bike week.
Joe the Redneck stuff is cool as hell but pricey for frame and tins that look right on them.Got a friend in Fl. that has one that hauls azz with an 88in.Sportster motor.Hard to keep the thing going straight when you lay into it.He used Buell parts for most of the build other than the motor. He has about 7700.00 in it doing almost all the work himself.Not cheap but not bad for a unique and fast bike.I looked for a Shovel but couldn't justify the cost.Gonna sell the Sportster when I'm done and wanted to get my money back.Not looking to make $ just have another bike for a while and see if I could build something different at the same time.

Sportster engines are the perfect chopper motor. Light, simple, one unit design, and massive power potential.

Hell, the rigid I sold about a month ago was an 883, but at roughly 400lbs, it had PLENTY of guts!

Sold her about a month and a half ago. Built it myself out of nine different Harleys, on a real harley Sportster frame with a LedSled Customs hardtail kit, etc. REAL Harley chopper, to include the VIN#.

Time to build another. This was my first, and I learned alot....ready for "round 2"
