Thought I would share a photo of my project in progress.
1988 XL883D, 45 degree rake, 9" over narrow springer,
1200 conversion with fully ported heads by
HeadQuarters.

Electric and carb work remaining, I have a Super E
with an 'Indian head' air cleaner. Something to
remember Larry by.

looks good. who did your frame? i got a 88 as well. havent chopped my stock frame. saving up for a rigid from paucgho. im diggin your bike

It was raked when I got it, bike in a box deal.
But it was done by a place in Delaware. It
was a pro job for sure I can't tell where the
joints are.

Paughco hardtail would be my choice too if
I had to do it from scratch.

Very nice decman! Looks very sharp :clap

That looks sweet.

here it is. http://xlforum.net/photopost/data/500/DSCF0010s.JPG

looks good i like the old school look

Looks good overall, but I would cut/loose that rear fender.

Nice start.

Yea, I'm not crazy about the fender either
It's there until I complete the build and
get it on the road, then I be looking to
fine tune the look.

Very nice, very nice! I want mine to look like this! Can you show us the springer from the front?
