Sportster Project

Trials and Tribulations (and good times) of my motorcycle projects and other garage tinkering. Learning and building things. Building, wrenching on, and riding Harley Davidson Evolution Sportsters, Big Twins, and anything else with two wheels. Currently working on building a 1999 Honda Shadow ACE. I also post information on other DIY projects I tinker on.
