Doug's has nice jugs

We went here......

Looked at this......

And left these.....

Should be done this week.

Well we blew Doug's bike to pieces.

This is most of Doug's sporty sitting on a shelf in his home shop.

Parts in a crate

Bolts in a tray

Wheels ready for paint and polish

Front end ready for trim and detail....

I have the frame and a few select pieces on my table getting some additional welding and grinding, detailing and hole drilling to get it ready for powder. I'll have a few more pics up tomorrow if I make any progress on that thing. The we gotta make a pile that goes to chrome and wait for Barry to finish going through the motor. We are shooting for hippykiller but I think Bornfree is a little more realistic. All depends if I can get any help or not, I have more than this project on my agenda. Stay Tuned....

Tearing Doug's Sporty down for paint, chrome and other tricks....

Sorry for the shitty phone pic but that's all I had with me at Dougies shop. Stay tuned for the the re-build up of this badass mofo!....

Last night was fender time on Dougs Sporty. I tried a bunch of different ones until I found just the right one.  I'm going for a little different, more polished look for this bike. Kinda getting tired of looking at parking lots full of bobbed off fenders and stubby framed bobbers, especially Sportsters.  So this ones getting a long swoopy flat fender and I'm going to be welding a Chevy tailight with a glass lens into it.  No sidemount hanging off the side for this one.  The fender required some reshaping because it was for an 18" wheel, so I sat on it and hammered on it and twisted and untwisted and forced it into compliance.  Then I made this nice little mount that will be molded in when I paint it.  Next will be the struts, tabs and mounting hardware...stay tuned.
