I have been blogging on SportsterProject.com for around 3 years now, and I published a tech blog for a decade or so before that. I have always enjoyed blogging and now I am going to dip my toe in the waters of…
On the road again…
I am glad I was able to save this late 80’s EVO Sportster. A few months ago I started this project after receiving a message from Jon, a SportsterProject.com reader. Jon had this 1988 Sportster with a Swedish Style frame which he…
