Hi everyone, I'm new around here. Figured I'd start my own build thread since it's a never ending project of mine.

I still have lots of plans for what to do in the near future but here's where I'm currently at. Will continue to update as I do more changes.



Original setup how I bought it. 2002 XLH1200C with unknown amount of rake in the trees. It was a nice looking bike but it just wasn't my style. I rode it this way for about a year before starting any changes.


Someone broke off my tail light. My rear turn signals also did not work so I jacked it up to take it all out. I did not have a proper motorcycle jack


Found out why the turn signals didn't work


After fixing the signals and putting on the new brake light I decided to paint it black


Installed exhaust wrap


The day after wrapping the exhaust I hit an ice patch and low sided it. Front brake was locked up, brake lever snapped, grip was messed up, overall isn't wasn't TOO bad other than the brake


Decided now's as good as time as any to put on a stock frontend for easier handling


Replaced triple tree and forks with a stock setup f rom a 92 dyna


Replace handlebar, grips, controls, put on the new trees and forks, new head bearrings, removed wheel spacer so the wheel would fit. I thought the 92 forks were the same as the 02, and they are, except it uses a different brake caliper. There's also not a place to mount the headlight now


The new controls didn't match this bikes wiring at all. Put the old controls on, new master cylinder, new levers, headlight, wired it all up. Ordered new front signals as the old ones had a lot of fraying going on. New wheel, tire, rotor, caliper, brake lines will be next.


Mirrors on, turn signals on, gas tank on, rotor on, caliper on, brake line on, exhaust re-wrapped. Only thing left is to add wheel spacers but for the most part it's complete


Same as above, just different view


I do plan on changing out to a solo seat and repainting it this year
