Here's a pic of my 72 H-D Sportster..

I made almost everything for this bike. I love pulling wheelies on this thing, it definately gets attention. Wanted and unwanted (police).

Nice bike, get some footage of them wheelies

yeah i second that one, some clips of said wheelies please sound cool.

That looks sweet. It looks to be in great condition for a 72. Definatly post some pics of the wheelies. I can imagine the looks on peoples faces when they see that. Nice.

Apes Love to see peeps airing out the old armpits

Nice ride!! I love the vintage stuff. I have an '05 VSTAR 1100 in addition to my CBR. Kinda nice to have a choice of which to ride!! (CBR usually wins!)

HAHAHA.. dug this out of the archives.. lol.. wheelies. haha

HAHA!!! Zac you must be bored outta your mind, to pull this out of the old grave yard

you said it. ha

I'm gonna add to this relic just cause a love me some ape's. My boy D-rock's bike, i actually love ridin this thing almost as much as my bike, just dont tell anyone else.

^^^ nuttin wrong with that...
is that you in the mirror?

I've never been fond of the ape hangers, mostly because the only ones I've ever seen in person belong to some douche here in town.  He literally has his arms at about an 80 degree angle when riding...
 
Yours don't look too bad, the second pic actually looks good.

Hell to the yes, a Captain America helmet like in easy rider hahaha

Nice, here is my old school HD  '80 sportster, I rebuilt everything on it.  from valves and pistons and heads, to electrics, to bearings, everthing!
 

 
 

 

 
 

Nice lookin' bikes on both accounts! And Krash, you rebuilt everything on it? Nice! That "First Service" on HD's is killer.  haha, just messin' with ya!

Both bikes really do look good guys.

Thanks!!   It was a project bike.  classic story, this guy had it in his shed, rusted all to hell, engine had been spray painted with silver paint, jugs and heads were completely rusted(they were made of iron-hence the name Iron head sportster), bike would start, but that was it.  fouled plugs within minutes.  had to have a new set of plugs and a jump to start it.   
 
I rebuilt everything except the cam chest and actually splitting the cases-didnt need it.  everything else was done, I could go on and on, I spent a whole winter rebuilding that thing.    But, that's why I bought it.
 
btw, there are only a few pieces of chrome on that bike- the rims, the exhaust, and a few small shiny things here and there.  everything else is all polished aluminum. everything on the engine, the cam case cover, the transmission cover on the other side, the valve covers, air cleaner, fork legs, and more are all aluminum.  That was a job, cutting it all down with sand paper, cutting it with a buffer, and then polishing to a mirror shine.  
 
there is a lot of blood and beer that went into that bike.

here's a chooper wheelie... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9PVeW8CxL8&feature=related
 
anyway, while we're up to posting pics of our Harley's too I guess I'll threadjack a little. I guess this also counts as a follow up to the prject thread I started about this bike last summer. My dad's old 80-80 (1980, 80ci) I Put back together last summer since I didn't have the cash for CBR yet. I ride my F3 now, but I'll still be showin this thing some love from time to time.
 



All Done, shining up the pipes before a ride


Notice the board underneath, she does leak a little oil..

 
Also note the Icon gear while riding a Shovelhead, lol

was that spiderman at the end???

nice apocolypse, seeing yours up on the jack all torn apart like that brings back some fond memories.  I say memories, becuase after 2yrs of internal debate, I sold mine.  (I had owned it for about 6yrs) I hated to do it, but at the time I had 3 bikes in garage, and we had just had our first child, and I just didnt have the time to dedicate to the old beast that it needed.

Nice looking bikes you guys!
