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.
