Sportster Cafe Racer Wrap-up

It's an army clutch for real. You did it, I love it. You know, a $2,400 white and chrome-stickered Sportster. Oh, yeah. It's pretty wicked-looking huh. An 83, it's a 1200 so it's been modified, and then modified by us. I love it. You know, this is supposed to go somewhere and it might end up in my garage, I don't know. Two keys, come on, come on. Two keys, exactly. Super. I love it. Cool. I love everything about it. Really, It's a cool ride and I think it hammered home what do we wanted it to show for, you can find a motorcycle out there at a good price, and then build a budget, build a plan come up with a design that you like and, you know, stick within it. I mean this motorcycle, 2,400 bucks in, we could've got the tank, the seat, maybe even cut the shocks that we had, Sure. did some powder coat work, kept all the other stock components. What four grand maybe? Yeah, right around there. Three or four thousand. Yeah, for a nice bike to run around on. You know, we had a lot of partners with this, which we're very thankful for. But a lot of things that we thought were cool, that we splurged on, the S&S Carburetor Yeah. and intake the, super cool. I mean to have the levers and the buttons and then putting it all through the handlebars, the Dakota Digital gauge Yep. is very cool. You know, putting in a Performance Scorpion Clutch from Barnett Yep. Could've stuck with Woodstock, but to have partners like that, that wanted to work with us on this project, which is super cool. The mid controls, that was a big adjustment cause of the pipes, Yes. moving them from Absolutely had to have them either way. So it's cool to have those. RevZilla working with us for the first time and giving us some free range on their sites. So, I picked out the tank, the seat, and the drop-in lowering kit, not the drop-in actually, it was a full lowering kit that we put in. Yeah, yeah. The exhaust, Road Rage, from Bassani, which was super cool. TC Brothers with the license plate that we shook over. License plate. Progressive with the shocks. Kuryakyn with these mini blasters, which are super cool for signals. Your favorite battery got swapped out. Yes, there was a, Internal joke about that battery as well. Safety start battery in there. There was a lawn mower battery. So, we did put a Yuasa in. Barnett, also came through with the brake lines and cables, which look super cool. Bel-Ray hooked us up with all the oils too. Bel-Ray hooked us up with all the oils. Nice, new immediate rubber by Dunlop. I think that's everybody right? You guys did a lot of work. Nate Beck did the handlebars. You guys did a lotta hours on this bike. Yes, yes we did. S&S, TC Brothers, Performance Machine, Roland Sands, the, Sweet grips. The sweet grips Those are really nice. really brought it all together. You know, its' it's cool to come up with a project and see it all the way through. And like I said, and we said it since the beginning, coming up with a plan, Yup. coming up with a budget, and sticking with it, and you can have a great runner for not too much money. Any last thoughts? I know, you know, we went through it eight times. We'll go through it another eight times. Yep. See if there's anything that needs tweaking before it really hits the road hard. But any other thoughts on your end? The biggest thing that I can give them and recommend is take your time. You know, Yeah. it doesn't matter how experienced you are, and how many years you have in, or if you have, you know, a month in it, Right. Take your time as you're going through it, reference your manual, reference the manufacturers, stuff I don't even know and I've been doing it 15 years, you know. Right. It pumps up on me so, have fun with the project too. Yeah. Don't don't just dread it, have fun with the entire, And I think you're dead on there too, is, you know, watching you and Zach and the way you label everything, and similar to with all the guys we work out of Fix My Hog is, Yeah. you know, you build the parts board, or you find out a way to categorize your stuff, so, when you come back, you know where it goes, you know where it is. And you know, there shouldn't be anything left in the baggies when you're done, because you know where they came from and where they're going. Which we don't. Which we don't, we did all right, we did all right. And, you know, then use another manufacturer, and they come with great information now too so. Yeah. It's just been super great. So, thanks again, and hope you guys enjoy the project, and we'll see you down the road. Thanks buddy. Thanks man. Appreciate it. It was good stuff, All right. once it started.
