"The flat tracker build of my dreams"

Personal notes

My now husband built this bike for me form a stock standard Sportster because I had been dreaming of a flat tracker - By that time I had been riding his Indian FTR around and was prepared at owning something similar. One of the most beautiful and unique bikes I've owned but unfortunately the discomfort from the vibrations and the overall weight of the bike proved too much for me at the time.

What I loved
  • lots of power
  • uniquie custom build
  • a real head turner
  • classic harley sound
What felt challenging
  • vibrations in the grips at higher speeds
  • lightest harley I could find but still very heavy
