1985 FLH Chopper

I had always wanted to build a complete bike from the ground up. I had built sportsters before but nothing to this extent. I wanted to make everything. I wanted as minimal purchased parts as possible. I tried to standardize on hardware so when it breaks down it takes minimal tools to take it apart.

What it started out as

This is what this project started out as. I drove a few hours into Wisconsin to get it. The story behind it was it was crashed and someone took it apart to fix the broken parts and never got around to finishing it.  So I got a good deal on it. But they had no idea when it was run last. But I was hopeful that I could get it running.
