AWW$HEEET Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 In for updates. I would like to get into something like this. What kind of costs are involved with a project like this? Most of it is stuff you can fab up on your own, or exhisting parts that can just be painted. I would recommend buying something that is running first, then you can modify it from there. Costs arent too bad, unless you are going to go on a fullscale rebuild, because harley parts are not cheap. The same result can be had with jap bikes, but i feel like it cheapens the experience..

"What kind of Harley is that?". I had that ALL the time with my Shadow. KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Cranium Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Check out your generator to make sure it's in good condition. Mine sat for a while before I bought it and the seal inside the generator dried out and cracked. That allowed oil to leak into the generator and ground to the housing. We burned up several solonoids, coils, voltage regulators, etc... before we figured out what was happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWW$HEEET Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 The hardtail came with the bike, but the PO did tell me it is a rare piece, since its got the "looptail" on it. Cant find these anywhere, or at least for cheap he said... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
