My Harleys

I've only had three Harleys and I ususally like to do stuff to them to make them my own.
Here are links to my first and second Harleys which were both 1974 Sportsters.

This one I got as a basket case, literally in three boxes.

If you guys want to see them. I didn't have a lot of money then so they might look a little rough.

RE: My Harleys

Thanks Sarge, I really enjoyed putting the second Sportster together. I eventually put a kick start on it because I really liked kicking it over. I went through three front ends on the first Sportster from people hitting me. One lady turned left in front of me and I hit her broadside, one passed a truck and hit me head on. Fortunatly the speeds were low enough that I wasn't hurt bad but the front ends were totalled. I had the spindel cut off the old Sportster triple tree and had it welded onto a springer triple tree so I could have a springer front end.
