1980 Ironhead Sportster Chopper

Initial Photos

Posted by Justin on 4/6/2005

This is how the bike looked when I picked it up. The engine is a 74" ironhead stroker and the top end was just rebuilt by a shop. Paint is ugly and needs redone. No horn, mirror, signals, or license plate, the speedometer isn't hooked up, the starter doesn't work, and the brakes need to be rebuilt.

Front End Profi Using photoshop, I estimated the rake to be at around 45 degrees, and the trail at about 9 or 10 inches. A raked tree would help correct the trail a bit and bring the front wheel out even further. 1024 x 768 px (191 KB) 0 Comments		Downtube Area This pic shows the gnarly old oil cooler, rectifier, and pipe header. Yes that is a deep socket being used as an engine mount bolt spacer. 576 x 768 px (121 KB) 0 Comments
Front End Angle Damn I love the way that front end looks when its parked. Long and narrow with a big wire wheel sticking way out. 745 x 768 px (155 KB) 0 Comments	DSCN6767 1024 x 768 px (193 KB) 0 Comments	Fatbob Speedome I kinda dig the styling of this speedo even though its really bulky. The fatbob tank wouldn't be my first choice for this bike but I'll work with it for now. 1024 x 768 px (170 KB) 0 Comments

The seams I can fix, the battery... I'll have to live with for now. 1024 x 768 px (205 KB) 0 Comments
