From Aussie to Sturgis<\/h2>\n

Finally sorted my custom Sportster<\/a> I built from a 2001 883 custom. Not much remains of the original bike after adding the Buell XB-12 front end with anodized gold fork tubes and clip-ons, a \u201975 gas tank, custom seat, and fabricated rear fender. Even the motor got a Hammer Performance 1,250cc kit and heads with .560 lift cams and a 42 Mikuni carb, Kuryakyn Velocity intake feeding it, and SuperTrapp 2-into-1 exhaust. It\u2019s also converted to chain drive with Galfer rotors front and rear helping it stop. Canyon carving is aided by Chainsikle rearsets and gear shift kit. Custom Paint and decals finish it off. I\u2019m riding it to Sturgis<\/a> this year from LA, with a mate riding my \u201989 FXR and another mate riding an ex-police \u201907 Road King. We\u2019re all flying in from Australia (home) for this road trip. Cheers! \u2014Mike, Australia<\/em><\/p>\n

Resur-wreck-tion<\/h2>\n

It started out as a wrecked 1991 FXSTS. Now it has a 107 Ultima with Mikuni HSR45, Ultima six-speed overdrive transmission, Porker pipes, JayBrake up font, Ultima two-piston on back, and too much else to list. I finally got it registered four years to the day that I wrecked it. The only Harley part left is the springer front end. Everything from the wheels to the wiring is aftermarket and all done by me. The paint was done by Doug Carr Auto Body<\/a> and powdercoating by Scott Brown. \u2014David Leabo, Sierra Vista, AZ<\/em><\/p>\n

Anabolic Sporty<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m one of the few, the proud who owns one of these Sportsters on steroids! Here\u2019s my 2011 Harley Sportster XR1200X<\/a>, which I flew out to Texas to pick up in March. It took me six months to find a super-clean, low-mile, one-owner specimen. I took this completely bone stocker and immediately went to work. I custom fabbed and stretched an XL model Roland Sands Slant 2-into-1 exhaust pipe then had mounts welded to the frame to install factory mid-controls with a custom rear brake designed by yours truly. I had a custom carbon-fiber seat made by \u201cThe Seat Guy\u201d<\/a> in Santa Ana, California, LA Choppers<\/a> 2-inch risers, and a Memphis Shades<\/a> windshield just to mention a few. I just did a 1,000-mile four-day ride on Route 66 to the 35th Annual Laughlin River Run<\/a>. My baby performed flawlessly! \u2014Dave DeWitt, Lake Forest, CA<\/em><\/p>\n
