My summer project (warning H-D content)

[geneseo1911]

Thought I'd show off my project from this summer. Better late than never i guess. I wanted a scrambler style bike i could ride out across fields and through ditches. I like taking a bike to scout fields but the Rocket is not exactly at home off road. I also wanted something cheap, somewhat cool, and capable on - road as well. Found an old Sportster locally and decided that could check all the boxes with the added benefit of poking a little fun at the HD crowd. Nothing against harley, just the people who take it too seriously.

my 9 yo helped with the art

To do list:
1200 kit
Better front suspension
Custom seat
Maybe a baffle. It's obnoxiously loud, but I find myself enjoying it. I always hated loud ass Harleys so I'm conflicted.

Still a bit heavy I would have thought! - I do however like the paint job.

At 500 lbs wet, it is still heavier then i hoped. Feels like a bicycle compared to my rocket though lol.
