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.

 

Nice, I like both bikes.Shame yajust don't see many seats like that anymore..

 

All we can do is the best with what we got, b5mac. Nice lookin' scooters, no matter how you slice it.

 

I really like seeing pics like these you posted.....thanks fer posting them bro ! I like that ol sporty .

 

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.

 

Those are the bikes I'm trying to find now!

 

That raked out sporty is bad ***. Love the old school look of those king and queen seats too.

 

Nice rides B5mac... I like 'em both.. esp. the king and queen set up on the black sporty...

 

Hec they look good to me even if you had money

 

Thanks for the post............I love seeing that old school stuff...............LO...............
