Daaaamn that thing is sooo sick! the external tensioner situation is super cool, I love how you used (what looks like) a primary chain tensioner on top of the swingarm. Very creative and versatile!
@@zacnicolai8125 the bike's clutch needs to be tweaked. Engagement is right at the handlebar and the bike was a bit stall happy when I took it in some single track, and that's with the clutch pulled.
@@gunsngunpla Best way to get it done right is to buy a manual for that Model and Years H- D Sportster. I have a 1989 Sporty and Manual, every thing is in Top working order. CV Carburetor work best for Stock to Mild Performance H-D EVOLUTION Sportster.
I wish I had that, when I was a teenager, living out in the country. I had a dirt bike that ran for a while. I wish I could have one, like that, and live out in the country.
Nice off road bike! I had a chopped '75 sportster early '80s, it worked well off road. 6" over Frank's forks, hog wheel laced to a sportster hub but not the flat tread tire. I used a radius rear tire. S&S side draft carb.
It's the Gallop Flying Comet. I'm actually in the process of putting a quieter exhaust on the bike for OHM regulations so I'm open to selling this exhaust at a discount.
I've dreamed about a Harley-Davidson engine in a dirt bike frame for many years and it looks killer but probably cumbersome to ride not to mention probably pretty top heavy for a dirt bike but still, the cool factor is off the rails. I'd like to have one despite all of that.
There are some ergonomic quirks that'll need to be addressed if I were to take this into more serious off road situations. Wisconsin OHM (Off Highway Motorcycle) regulations has a 96Db sound limit when the bike is revved. This Dirtster idles in the 90s and hits 114Db when revved because of the short stubby open pipe. Going to slap a SuperTrapp on there to mute it, then do some clutch and brake work.
17" I didn't even know it was possible to get a 17" shock until I saw this bike on Facebook Marketplace. Previous owner worked for HD in Milwaukee and it looks like he knew what he was doing.
@@gunsngunpla Hi J, your bike looks amazing. Do you know which brand and model the shocks are? I didn't know there were 17" shocks available either. Looks super cool with the high stance.
@@greatpar Mechanix heat resistant gloves. Bike currently doesn't have a handlebar start button so I need to reach between the high pipes to press the solenoid, which is risky biscuits when the engine's been running.

You ain't riding it like a dirt bike. Nice build, i had a 72 ironhead made into a mx bike. It, too, was also registered for the road.

Beautiful Scrambler build 🫡
That is impressive, never in my life!
That is one sick sportster
I love it! 😍 Is that Gallop Exhaust?

@@zedbear1 would love to see photos!
What brand exhaust is that and where can i find it?
It's the Gallop Flying Comet.

I love my Gallop exhaust pipe!!
@@stuartbrown1961 It sounds great but is unfortunately too loud to pass Wisconsin OHM regulations which limits what off road events I can take it to.
@@gunsngunpla yep. America. Land of the Fee 🎉
Ya buddy

@@gunsngunpla Sounds like a plan. I'm curious to see how it progresses. 👍
just Damn WOW
How’d you go about finding a front end that will work ?
Previous owner put a CRF450 front end on there so the only thing that needed changing was the right triple tree.
Looks sick. What length shocks are they?
17"

Una joyita 👏👏👏👏
Bad Ass!!!
That's cool😅
OMG 😮
Why does it feel like I'm looking at Google Maps Street view 😭
I wish Street View would zoom in on every bike, haha.
@@gunsngunpla bro I was so confused, I thought it was an actual screenshot of street view but then you started moving lmao
@@Fayaz_Sadiq Next time I'll add a glamour shot for the title card/thumbnail to spare you the confusion ;)
@@gunsngunpla nah it wasn't because of the thumbnail, I think it was just the angle or something 😂 Very nice bike tho!
Not loud at all.
I wish that was true lol.
Thing cracks 114dB when revved.
