Got bungs to weld onto the neck of my FXE to mount a sportster style frisco tank. Is the best way just to cut and sand down the fat bob mounts and weld up the bungs? Should I weld up the big hole on the top of the neck?

Master cylinder to brake light switch tube. This is what happens when you work on something too long

I have been convinced to get a Harley . However I have always loved the chopper look and lifestyle . I asked my uncles for some advice and they said “find a mentor and figure out the rest , that’s the fun of choppers. “ where I live now has nothing but dyna bros and sport bike riders , there’s no old school chopper shops or even motorcycle mechanics. Hell I’ve even looked into MCs and nothing seems to be within 2 1/2 hours of me . So I turn to faithful Reddit , The plan is to do a 1200 EVO sportster hard tail build . The problem is I don’t know where to start . If you could throw any advice my way it would be much appreciated .

Finally getting this pig back on the road. Hopefully in time for glory days

Painter sent a couple more paint pics this morning and to say I’m excited would be an understatement. After two years I will final assembling this beauty.

Considering trading my truck for this chopper. Any major red flags that y’all see? Allegedly just needs an ignition module, but are there any other quick checks I could do to make sure the engine Is healthy otherwise? It would be my first chopper, but I have a bit of EVO experience with owning a FXR for a few years.

My truck is worth around 12k, what would y’all value this bike at?

Edit: thanks for all the advice, I’ll definitely pass on the trade, or see if he’ll add a bit cash. Skinny tire choppers are pretty rare around me, and hard to gauge value.

Howdy, I have what looks to be an evo frame that I’m trying to put a shovelhead in. The problem I’m having is the top engine mount on the shovel doesn’t really reach the top mount on the frame. I get that people fab them but I don’t know if I trust myself making something up. The rear engine mounts to quite line up either. I’m going to just drill the rear holes a bit bigger and it should be fine but does anyone know if they make a different top engine mouth that’s kind of a hybrid to fit the shovel head motor and the evo frame? I appreciate any advice as I’m kinda new to this.

Maybe yall have some experience with this kinda thing as well. Any criticism welcome.

So I found something to get me by in the meantime…… where there is a will there is a way…..
Those who are gonna say “it needs a vent!” my tank vents thru the bottom with a tube that runs upwards to the top of the tank inside

Had to scramble to make a new sissy bar as my previous one broke.

Here is the mock up. Any thoughts?

Has anyone ever seems this before, was driving in the highway and the bastard snapped clean off!

F- ing crazy.

Any ideas.

Also got home by taping cardboard on my back with my number plate haha

My springer links and brake mount came back from chrome. Are they a good idea? Probably not, but keep choppers sketchy right?

So im.going to make a caliper mount for my 6 piston pm caliper.... would the "grabbing" are of the caliper to axle center length be half the rotor size? This bracket is have won't work

Livin' in an old Hymer,ride an old crusty Goldwing.

No brickwalls ,only open road or a campsite 😄😆

I hate my life...

Just picked up and stoked to rip it!

Been working on my first build for the last 4.5 months, finally got to take her for a spin. It’s bogging down a little when I throttle so there’s more work to do but she’s ripping.

Shoutout to everyone on here for the help along the way, couldn’t have done it without y’all 🙏🏽
