Sportster Project

Sportster Project

Build. Tinker. Ride. 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 restoring and preserving a 1988 Harley Davidson Sportster chopper. I also post information on other DIY projects I tinker on.

Category: 88 Swedish Style Sportster

1988 Harley Davidson Sportster XL1200 with a custom Swedish Style or some may say a St Louis Style Frame. Previous owner was going for Swedish style. Very dirty, real crusty, and has not run since 2006. Going to change that. Looking ​to restore and preserve this bad ass survivor bike. Will keep some of the crust, but hope to get her running and back on the road. Started this Sportster project in April 2021.
