Hello Turbodaves,
Great to see you are bring back the Sportster!
If I can suggest that the front wheel spare tire should be threaded for standard 5 wide and 4 lug rims.
I am thinking about doing this to my Empi.

Is this the whole kit shown or is this just what you have completed so far? _________________ Save a tree eat a beaver |

Nice Project there I have one to that I have nt started on, trying to sell a buggy before I start thought about selling the sportster and just find one already running so I would be on the road quicker. |

Hello EarlT,
Great find! And yes, that roll cage is a little tall.
Post another set of pics from the other side.
Good luck on getting it running.

Im closing in on buying a turn key Sportster, so in the near future Im going to be selling the project one I bought. I m lucky I work with a guy that does transports on the side with his cousin so Im going to use him to go get this new one paying him might come in cheaper than me going to get it. |
