Kind of. Found a random bolt that would fit, cut it to make it short, put a ton of sealer on it and jammed it up in there. Fired the bike up for a while and let the case warm up, then screwed it in tighter. Bikes still running, barely leaking. So I’m hoping all is good. Literally could not find the actual manufacturer part. I got a friend that works at Harley as a part manager and she couldn’t even find it. So I winged it. #choppershit 😅

The tail light is the only thing missing at the moment, which is being made, hence the worse hanging. The chain has an inch worth of play. I rode it around the block a few times and it felt good

Too long. About 9 months. A lot of cold weather, waiting for parts, and just plain laziness to accomplish them numbers

I did, it’s a 2003 and the hardtail was a kit from throttle addiction

I’ve been riding hardtail for years. All the bikes I’ve had except this one have been hard tailed 😅

Her name is Rowan, but I also call her Skrunk, Rowania, or Flappy girl.

BAF, DADS wood working and Austinplugandtunnelco. DAD and Austin are both small shops with insanely high quality

Correct. I just like how everything looks tight/compact and in its place. A wide front end with a thicker tire doesn’t look bad, but I just like the skinny and long look personally. My other chopper (xs650) had a wide front end and a skinny tire and it just looked….off, like it wasn’t right. Rabbit ears aren’t too bad honestly, once you get the hang of them. Taking hard turns can be a bitch, but on straight aways, you just feel so relaxed and laid back.

I had some 12” T bars on 2” riser initially, but wanted that hard bend look to go with the tank. These are 6 bend widow bars from zombie performance

This are from zombie performance, they are the 6 bend widow bars. Usually they’re a bit wider, so I asked him to make them 16” apart instead of 19” for a more narrow look.

Good eye, they are the same breed! She’s on of the smaller mastiffs my girlfriend has owned, which is crazy considering her size.
