Sportster Bobber Build

I picked up this little 1987 Harley Davidson Sportster for $340. on Facebook Marketplace. Of course it was in rough shape. I cleaned it up & gave to a little "Bobber" makeover. I removed the front & rear fender, chopped the rear frame a bit, added a solo seat, drag bars, Vans grips, pipe wrapped the exhaust & took the gas tank to bare metal and clear coated it. It still needs some mechanical work to be on the road again. but was super fun getting it to this point.

Nice. Real nice.

I don’t know why, but I absolutely love seeing old sportsters chopped up. Awesome build man.

[@howardhavice3458]

You surprise me with your abilities and talented projects

[@twopencemoto4759]

Thank you!

[@bryannguyen9602]

So sick! Seaweed and Gravel is such a dope shop as well

[@twopencemoto4759]

Thank you!

[@RobbieHilton97]

Dude I love your style. I can't chop up my '08 sportster though... I can't bring myself to it. I need an oldie for 340$

[@twopencemoto4759]

Thank you! Yes, don't chop up your nice bike! lol

Love the bobber look, have two of them, a sporty 1200Low and a Suzuki Boulevard with the Blue Collar Bobber kit

[@ericweber1969]

That was an amazing deal! Well done, man!

[@twopencemoto4759]

Hey, thank you!

[@79SctDriver]

Looks good!

[@twopencemoto4759]

Thank you!

[@vitoraimondi2626]

Great build...thanks for sharing!

[@twopencemoto4759]

Thank you!

[@DasmeProductionz]

the tank alone is worth almost that! what a deal

[@makanahapakuka3485]

Dang here on Maui that bike would be sold for like $5K before mods 😂

[@dirtedirte8771]

I guarantee when gas hits that paint it’s gonna get gooey and start flash rust. I used the same stuff .

[@williamheath4190]

I like it but you should have done a three sixty of it. We are required a break light in Ohio.

[@timhudson1846]

I traded an old boat motor for a 97 Sportster... Straight up swap.
I need to do this.

[@Rickvales]

I literally bought the same style sportster and the previous owner did a half ass job cutting it up and made it look like shit. I was able to save it tho by cutting it in half and welding a hard tail on it.

🤙🤘🤘🤘

[@QuantumXmachina]

Hell yes

[@granthazlewood341]

How do you find a bike for that cheap!!?? I’d love to find something and build as a project

[@g3ronxmo786]

Right dude that’s crazy

[@ilovecarnitas]

Does it run?

[@vikramhikalea2975]

What seat did you use for that build and how did you mount it with no fender, doing a similar build with my 03 sportster and I can’t find any vids on the seat mounting

[@cage-rattler]

Why the amber headlight? And is it even legal that way? I have a 97 sportster 1200 that I'm thinking of converting to a bobber. Only thing stopping me is my gf likes to ride with me.

[@k.r.outlaw5252]

Why do people put sprung seats on a softail?

[@MR-lr5jc]

How did you mount the seat ?

[@JumpingWatermelons]

That's cool.
What about tail lights?
Carb jetting?

[@whitcher42]

Anybody know the exact handlebars and mounts?? Much appreciated

[@eljefeguapobarbon]

Love it, but then I love naked ladies too so go figure!😜🤘🏼
