Default Buell Custom Built Chopper

I know it isn't technically a Harley, but I am looking to sell my Buell custom built rigid chopper. $7500. Lightning 1200 motor and electrics, CMH 230 rigid frame, turn-key starter, independent headlight (you can ride with it off during the day), Exile sprocket/brake rotor combo, passes NC state inspection, clean/clear NC title in hand. No issues with full coverage or just liability insurance, and I know banks like Navy Federal Credit Union will finance it. More specs to anyone interested just PM me.



Since this photo I have polished all the copper (risers, fender struts, hairpin springs) so it pops.

good looking bike.... can you tell me more about the front end? Looks great and think it'd look great on another project I'm working on

Sorry for the hijack, and good luck with the sale

Thanks everyone. As for the front end, its a pretty simple springer girder with a 1K lb progressive shock. I'm actually away from home and the build sheets to give a more definitive answer.

In the first photograph, it appears as thought the frame and exhaust practically scrape the ground. It's probably not that bad but can you please state the ground clearance between the frame and the ground and between the exhaust and the ground?

Thanks.

As soon as I get back home Saturday evening I'll measure and post it. I can tell you that the exhaust touches before the frame does. Being that I know it sits low I tend to take turns a little slower and a little wider, but I've never had an issue in long sweepers.
