What, no burnout pics? :(
Looks like a nice bike, for a little putt-putt. :P Is the string-o-skulls an attempted halloween decoration? :lol:

Nice Sporty!, like the blackout fender mounts & those bars with the short risers on it (the custom riser is the only just horrid piece on a Sportster custom). The peanut tank is cool looking but those King tanks are the way to go for sure. I am usually a laced wheel all the way guy but those blacked out mags look good with the way he has er done. Newer Sportys are great bikes only reason for trading mine was the passenger issue, I would have kinda liked to keep it and buy the new one.

Sounds like you need a lighter passenger!

I could've upped from the stock springs to handle a little more weight, it wasn't that far off. Just if Rose is with me I wanted a little more room for both of us and a better ride. Anyway I like the Night Train.

That's what the other hog owners say when they are sitting on a bike like this

Tom's the one guy safer on a bike than a car he built.
Trust me. I re did everything he touched.
Beer and brakes/suspension are a bad mix.
Luckily tommy knows when to say when on a project
