Very nice save for the air cleaner, no front fender, and gas tank decal, for classic looks and performance nothing beats the old classic oval air cleaner, the old Sportster tank decals or the gold bar & shield decals, and for a street bike a front fender is mandatory!
WOW WOW WOW this is absolutely the nicest iron head ive ever seen , love everything , the first thing that catches my eye is that bolt on rear section, wish i could do that to my 90s model xl , i dont want to chop my frame ive owned my sporty since new , but one day im going to find a good 70s model and i might steel your vision if you dont mind 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Incredible! Start button in the grip. That is badass! That bike is sweet. The only thing I'd change is the saddle. That one is too plain and a little too wide. But that bike has all kinds of Wow factor going on.
you didn’t see the lights, mirror, and license plate on it? it’s fully street legal. turn signals required in California on 1973 and later but I wouldn’t put them on this bike longer than it took to get the ticket signed off if it needed them.
It's all '72 parts. The rocker housings were filled and radiused. The primary cover was milled and the center filled and smoothed. Cam cover was cut and modified. That's the point of being custom. Every piece of that bike was touched. I can see where it would be confusing.
I'm not really into the "bobber" look, but that's a nice bike. I really live old Ironheads. Wish I could get my hands on one. I see a cross between a Chopper and a Pro-Street bike, i.e. if you could combine those two styles somehow.
Very clean work. Love those KR style pipes, doing a 68 right now, have been looking for those pipes everywhere since I saw this vid but no luck. Would you share where you got them by any chance?
And worth every penny! I like the Krust older bobber look too but this bike is epic. I'm doing a search for 709 customs right now. I want to buy a bobber so bad.
I am a Sportster fanatic, and have owned dozens of K's, Ironheads and Evos. I do very similar builds to yours, stripped down, lightweight, flattrack inspired Sportsters. Is there a way to purchase one of your oil tanks and/or one of your rear frame sections? Thanks in advance. T in K.C.
Hmnn. Last year of right side shift was '74 I believe .Your motor # ends with H8 ? I guess you wouldn't be the first guy to have a bunch of mixed up parts in a sporty basket case. I can't imagine why it would have good factory '78 numbers and be a right side shift. Let me think about that. And for Terry in KC. Sorry, but I'm just not setup to build the oil tanks and frame sections to sell. Just a really small operation here. Maybe in the future though.
Talked to my co worker and he said there is a plug on the right crankcase you can remove and use the earlier shift pawl shaft. Maybe someone was racing it?
We used a remote reservoir master off a Ducati I believe. It’s probably the same as all of the honda yamaha suzuki ones. You can see the white reservoir with the hose under the oil tank. Used the stock pedal and cross shaft and mounted the master vertically on the right side of the frame tomahawks.
It would depend on your fabrication skills. We used the stock pedal and linkage and mounted a remote reservoir master cylinder to the frame under the oil tank. Spool hub wheel with matching rotor and fabricated axle and spacers and caliper bracket among other parts.
709cycles thanks for the response. I'm a welder fabricator by trade so I'm fairly sure I can do it I'm just trying to figure the best way. was thinking of a sprotor set up to keep it compact. what size front and rear are you running? thanks again. BTW the bike is sweet. I'll be posting the whole build starting in the next couple weeks. just waiting on a few more parts
Absolutely beautiful
Moto splendida eccezionale complimenti al maestro che le prepara.... ( queste sono le vere harley Davidson no quelle di oggi)
I have to say, It's probably the nicest one we've done.
Absolutely 1st class mate
Beautiful bike!! Love the KR style pipes!!
Beauty.. Sweet Build , bro..
Nothing like the old school Sportsters. Excellent job on this one.
Nice machine !!! I love the start button and the flat track style. Nicest XL ever !!!
Love it, only thing I would do is put some shocks on it as my back wouldn't survive but this is a gorgeous bike
Sportster are my favorite Harley-Davidsons
Mine too.
Also liked the Dyna range ... but sadly, HD discontinued it a couple of years ago.
I really like the style of this build, like a speedway bike for the street.
That bike is absolutely perfect.
Very nice save for the air cleaner, no front fender, and gas tank decal, for classic looks and performance nothing beats the old classic oval air cleaner, the old Sportster tank decals or the gold bar & shield decals, and for a street bike a front fender is mandatory!
BEAUTIFUL !!! I LOVE THE STARTER BUTTON , AWESOME JOB!!!
Has to be a fun little rocket to tool around on, you did exemplary work.
That was your BANG for your Buck, On this Dream Harley
WOW WOW WOW this is absolutely the nicest iron head ive ever seen , love everything , the first thing that catches my eye is that bolt on rear section, wish i could do that to my 90s model xl , i dont want to chop my frame ive owned my sporty since new , but one day im going to find a good 70s model and i might steel your vision if you dont mind 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love IRONHEADS sound!
Very nice build. Especially like the rear frame section.
This video just popped up in my feed. Nice bike!!!
That's one sweet ride!
I love your motorcycle that's awesome bro great job
Incredible! Start button in the grip. That is badass! That bike is sweet. The only thing I'd change is the saddle. That one is too plain and a little too wide. But that bike has all kinds of Wow factor going on.
Sounds and looks great. Love the sounds of the old school sporty s
That's a nice looking street bike good job
Awesome. I like the sound pretty much. Congrats.
Starter button in the grip is BAD ASS 💯
Congrat, very nice bike !
Clean & cool bike
Nice tavern to tavern scoot! P.S. love the 19's
got to love ironheads
Looks and sounds great. I'll take it! ☝️
Sweet runner, very cool
Clean, beautiful job
nice clean look to it, very cool.......
A pretty ride, to be sure. I would like to see it made street legal, though. Kinda like painting a beautiful picture that never gets hung. IMO

Nice ride got a 62 myself
Nice bike, thanks.
Damn, that's a sharp bike!
very very nice! like that frame.
Great lookin bike , perfect
It's all '72 parts. The rocker housings were filled and radiused. The primary cover was milled and the center filled and smoothed. Cam cover was cut and modified. That's the point of being custom. Every piece of that bike was touched. I can see where it would be confusing.
splendida! non ho parole
Tasteful and classy. Real nice job.
Absolutely beautiful and definitely badass!
That is neat, but start button did it for me.
That is nice
Love the XLR pipes!!
Why 5 thumbs down? This bike is clean. Sounds like a gunshot in background.
Exceptional! 😎
Perfect! I love it!👍😎
this is so professional build needs to b a show bike very good job. ohio
Beautiful!
Gawd...wish it were mine.
sick bike bro!!!!!
What a beauty 👍
Very, very nice! Well done!!
My dream bike
very nice, clean look!
Never cared much for that type of seat but other than that it's nice.
I freakin love that bike
Awesome $portster!
I'm not really into the "bobber" look, but that's a nice bike. I really live old Ironheads. Wish I could get my hands on one. I see a cross between a Chopper and a Pro-Street bike, i.e. if you could combine those two styles somehow.
Man, she's a beaut.
I wish there was a way to filter or ignore ads.
Shhh don't tell anyone I said this but that's a nice sportster....
I really like the oil tank.
White Brothers makes real nice double walled Pipes ...
That's too beautiful of a bike to have a starter switch. The only thing that makes this Harley look weak.
Bad ass ironhead!
We made the hardtail in our shop. Also , all the other custom parts on it
Perfection
Very nice.
That's beautiful
Beautiful work a gorgeous bike! What did you use for the rear chain drive jockey wheel?
Nice scoot.
Like
Very nice
Beutiful bike
Stunning Harley. Please tell me what something like this would cost? I need to consider my next ride
Capolavoro!!!
Very clean work. Love those KR style pipes, doing a 68 right now, have been looking for those pipes everywhere since I saw this vid but no luck. Would you share where you got them by any chance?
Very nice !!
Awesome bike. can you tell me where you sourced the bolt-on hardtail?
sweet 😍
It's Indian motorcycle red. Or Pamir red in some paint catalogs Nice vintage color.
Haaaa... i knew it.
We had about 10K in this bike at the time.
And worth every penny! I like the Krust older bobber look too but this bike is epic. I'm doing a search for 709 customs right now. I want to buy a bobber so bad.
Anyone know what oil tank that is? Been trying to find one for my 69 xlch but all the ones I’ve looked at sit way lower on the frame than that.

What bolts did you use for the hardtail?
I'm in the middle of a build and am thinking of using ARPs.
Nice Bike.
Talked to my co worker and he said there is a plug on the right crankcase you can remove and use the earlier shift pawl shaft. Maybe someone was racing it?
Nice Bike Yo
Nice bike I'm working on a sporty myself with rear disk brake how did you do the master cylinder?
We used a remote reservoir master off a Ducati I believe. It’s probably the same as all of the honda yamaha suzuki ones. You can see the white reservoir with the hose under the oil tank. Used the stock pedal and cross shaft and mounted the master vertically on the right side of the frame tomahawks.
@@709cycles thanks appreciate the response 🍻 cheers
👍🏻
I'v got a 73 xlch I'm doing right now. I want to do disk instead of the stock drum. how difficult was it to convert it to disk brake?
It would depend on your fabrication skills. We used the stock pedal and linkage and mounted a remote reservoir master cylinder to the frame under the oil tank.
Spool hub wheel with matching rotor and fabricated axle and spacers and caliper bracket among other parts.
709cycles thanks for the response. I'm a welder fabricator by trade so I'm fairly sure I can do it I'm just trying to figure the best way. was thinking of a sprotor set up to keep it compact. what size front and rear are you running? thanks again.

superbe !!
Which pistons were used
Trendsetter natural big bike
would love to see what you can do with a 79 xlch...
Saaaweeeet!
