Hello, My name is Jacob Merrill and I have a 1987 Sportster 883 and this is my first "bobber" build/attempt.
Welded on a hardtail and attempted to do as much fabrication myself as I could.
Still currently finishing a few things up but and very excited to get it finished the next few days.
Well executed... will follow this one.
Have you researched smaller batteries like the lithium?
Could hide one in a faux toolbag under the oil bag for a even more minimal look.
Keep posted you have gone a long way from stock. Good luck. Wild Bill
Thank you!

I'll have to look into that!!!
I was curious, it has 3 main thick wires RED, GREEN and WHITE these were all to the stock ignition, obviously Red is to the battery but trying to figure out the green and white are for. I'm going for an automotive style turn key to start any help would be appreciated.
I dig most of it like the ragged ends of the pipes but that AC needs to be changed thats just my opinion. I hate ham cans.
Thank you! And I agree, I ordered twice now a AC kit and the company both times have sent me one for the newer style carb, so trying to get that all worked out.
