4. Sportsters are uglier than Choppers.
5. Your chop looks way cooler after the rebuild.

1. I agree, but I see you still have to use other jacks to lift the bikes up for some work.
2. Again, I agree completely. Looks unstable.
3. I must disagree on that.
4. Yes, but have you seen the Nightster? I hate sportsters, but do like the Nightster.
5. Agree, but the little headlight looks odd on that big bike.

1. Thanks
2. In comparison I agree, but it does work.
3. Don't worry I don't like pink either! But I will still ride with ya any day!
4. They have their place and use.
5. Thanks!

And that is now more like a $50K bike now...

Who got gm started on his million pics posts again?! Nice lift, great work on the bike. Though if I had one and had done such work to a new perfectly fine bike that costs that much I'd probly post it a million times too.

I'm changing my front tire this weekend and I'm going to take pics of the steps... Besides, I just got my Mojo Blocks which "supposedly" makes my $80 Harbor Freight kit as safe as a No-Mar rig!!! We'll see!

Ya know and if you remember this is NOTHING compared to my bike build. I did this for the "customer" and to share. I have been sending updates on the bike. There is no rush and I have a great budget that wont limit me. But I am trying to come in way under budget. Cause they gave me a budget that was way higher than expected.

As far as time. This is nothing. When I do a how to. I will spend a solid 2-3 hrs in just the how to. Not including the job itself.

Also, I use my old d.camera in the garage only. I don't need high res and I dont care about my grease paws all over it that way.

Tigger... you should do a how to for the job. This will help direct you in taking your pics. Get pics of tools in action with notes of what tools used for each step. I have done TONS of how to's. People really appreciate it.

Yeah, but not anymore... not while in my garage. But with all its neglect. It still runs very well.

It holds stuff like axle grease, grease gun, mobil 1 syn grease, loctites, never sieze, light bulbs, a c-clamp, silicone, tire repair kit, gas detector liquid (snoop), and maybe a few other things... that's just off the top of my head.

Do you need a pic?

Great job Gas Man. I might need to hire you to help my Dad finish his bike... he is just running into problems finding the right stuff. It's a 67 Sportster.

Idk a great deal on those older bikes. That being said they are simpler to work on. But like each bike I work on, it's a learning expierence. The education that each bikes gives me, makes me want more of it. I guess its this obession or passion that makes me go back, even when the bike may fight me. I love the sense of ackomplishment when I'm done.
