Since Devin and Kevin started the SBS build...

... I have been wanting to do a build of my own and have always found a certain charm in owning and maintaining a machine that is older than I am.

The notorious Ironhead was found on some obscure Facebook bartering group and with a little finessing, I was loading it up to carry home...




The bike seems to be well maintained and is "good from far but far from good".

The general idea is a rigid springer but time will tell. I will of course be using as many DK parts as possible as well as a few other companies that don't rhyme with Screamin Seagull.

 

Looking forward to this.

 

If you need any engine questions/help shoot me a PM. Just rebuilt mine from the crank up. Ironheads are fickle but fun!

Bring It... This is gonna be good!

Congrats on the new ride.

Enjoying watching Kevin's project as I expect yours should be as good.

When I heard "springer" I grinned

 

A Springer would probably give more suspension travel than what is currently on the donor bike.

 

Keep in mind that he has it tied down, thus compressing front forks. It has more travel unstrapped, I'd assume.


On another note: looking forward to this build! Keep the DK Custom builds rollin.
