Wow. Killer bike. But I don't know how confidence inspiring it would be to look down at this while ripping along at highway speeds. I think the top tube on my bicycle is bigger!

WTF does still just a Sportster mean? SMH, 12 years to make a condescending first post and you can’t even correctly spell the oldest Harley model produced, damn

Find a PMS forum. You’ll do better there.
Good looking retro chop. Not for everyone but nice build just the same.

Great looking bike. Looks like an spool hub with no front brake (definitely old school). Interesting frame. Anyone have an idea who made it?
