Default Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch Changes. Still evolving Sportster

This was supposed to be a quick freshen up and flip. That plan didn't work too well. Back story is I picked it up 3 mos ago out of a garage in L.A where it sat neglected for 6yrs. Week after week I kept fiddling with it, fixing, replacing and refurbishing stuff. Motor is still the fire breathing 883/1200 swap with P&P'd Buell heads, SE cams, Mikuni, etc, etc. I'm done for now I think, gonna be switching to stock mids this week after that who knows. And yes, still for sale. pm for details.


Before pic is the green one. After is the black one.

It looks nice. Can you tell me the fairing and seat you put on it? Also, how much are you asking?
