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.

Exhaust Wrap

April 9, 2018 by sporty

Looks like the reason we are not able to get the Sporty to start is the ignition module. So replacing it with a Compu-Fire HDE-1 Digital Electronic Ignition which I ordered and is on the way. Since I am waiting on parts…
