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 1988 Sportster.
On the 1988 Sportster project I am using a front brake caliper from a sportbike… I have the single piston Harley Davidson stock front brake caliper and was planning to just rebuild it and run it but I was watching some YouTube…
Did a bit of tinkering on the 1988 Sportster over the weekend. Got the oil tank painted, mounted, and plumbed up. Looks pretty good on there.
Spent the weekend tightening up a few things to attempt to get the Sportster project to go down the road. Brakes, controls, and some other small things all which needed to be done before I could make her go. Then… she went!
Got a new set of tires for the Sportster. The old front tire was not in terrible shape but the rear tire was pretty worn with not much tread left on it. The Sportster project gets a new pair of shoes.
