Hope you and your wife are doing great . Take care brother. Rick

Picked up a pristine 2003 Sportster Custom today as the Donor bike for this project!
8453 miles on the clock... after my 10 mile test ride on it.
Gotta finish our suspension testing report tomorrow, then this weekend I need to clean up the shop. Tuesday we should be able to finish up the Softail and get it off the lift.
By Tuesday night this Sporty will be on the lift and the disassembly will commence.
This afternoon after bringing it to its new home from Alabama
The only things that we are planning on using are the front wheel, forks, part of the frame, engine, rear mc, and calipers...
...everything else will end up on ebay.
I'm pretty stoked to get moving on this. While driving down to pick it up I called Adam at Time Warp Paint (he did the paint on the DK Sporty) and he is up for doing the tins and the frame on this build too.

Thank you!
Yep, gonna get at least half the donor cost back selling unneeded parts on ebay, and then turn around and spend all of that, plus some, on the build.
The guy I got it from has only had it a short time, and I did let him know what I was purchasing it for...not sure if he is going to tell his friend, who took such good care of it for 14 years, what's going to happen to his baby.
