Im on alot of mustang forums, and alot of the guys do build threads when their building a car...so i thought i would post a build thread of the new sporty i picked up. Its an 08 with just over 1,000 miles. It was layed over and needs a little tlc to get it back on the road. It needs mirrors, handle bars, headlamp, turn signals, tail light, handle bar riser, and paint. Ill start with a few pictures of the bike in its current condition.

The good side

tank

front fender

headlamp and riser

bend handle bars


Since getting the bike i have taken all the sheet metal off of it, and it will go for paint probably monday. It will come back vivid black.

 

Tonight i have ordered the mirrors, headlamp, and i ordered a set of drag bars for it tuesday, so they should be showing up pretty soon.

 

Cool! looks like a fun project.

 

Wrecked bikes are great projects. I personaly like buying wrecked bikes and bringing them back to life.

 

Yea, im really enjoying it. good way to get a cheap bike too.

 

08,how much did you pay for the bike if you don't mind me asking.

 

5700$

 

Looks like a fun project! Keep updates.

 

drag bars are in, and made a trip to the harley store today and ordered the tail light, turn signals, upper and lower fork braces, and all the goodies i need...so everything is on its way...the sheet metal goes for paint tomorow.

 

cool man, yeah i love to watch builds, let me ask you this, are you just putting it back together for a modified stock sporty look or do you have some radical vission in mind that maybe someday you would like to do to the bike....no time like the present might be fun to chop that frame in half and start from there ....of course i'm broke and living vicariously through when i say that
