Bike looks good man, hows the ride with the lowering brackets? Also just did the DK customs tank lift and coil and ignition relocation. Even with my limited knowledge of bikes it was a breeze. looks super good too. Good luck with everything!

looks awesome man!!! Did a lot of things that I want to do. Have a couple questions.

Does anyone know where you can get a bar clamp like that in the US? I know you can use the autometer to relocate the speedo.

Also where did you get the pan for under the springer seat? Or did you just make it? Also the black springs? Those look way better then the chrome ones.

How did you lower the rear fender?

Doldy, you've got the most gorgeous 883 Iron I've EVER seen.

Dream bike right there, and done by yourself. Kudos. Ever in London give me a shout, I'll buy you a beer.

I diggin the springer and rearend. Great job Doldy.

Your Sportster build is being featured in the BikeBuilds.net
directory here: Doldy's Sportster 883 build

We’re currently displaying only a reduced-size photo (similar to what you’d find in Google
Images). We'd like to ask for your permission to publish the original full-size image with your
build listing.

If anyone would like to have a build of their own listed, just send me a message with a link to
the build thread and we’ll take care of the rest.

I managed to get some smoked lenses from hogparts which might save you a job with the spray can.

Did you say you did your own powder coating?
Am looking to add a bit more black to my Sporty

You can cut/smooth & re-powdercoat your stock clamp or you can
get the JokerMachine version (closest I've seen to the same "look")

Here's a pic of the Joker Machine version. Hope it helps...

Dan, sorry this is a few years late, but how did the 170 rear tire fit in? Did you have to modify anything to fit this? Sweet bike man!
