Default hardtimes framed ironhead!
sorry if this is considered a repost, as i placed it in the chopper section also, but i thought you true ironheads would like to have a looksee too.

ok, here' what i've been tinkering on lately:





it's a '73 ironhead lump fitted into a carolina customs "hardtimes" frame (for 86-03 sporty's, only had to make 3 plate for it to fit right in) with a -2 front end. it's slowly coming together, and i've made more little misc. brackets and mounted the oiltank since this pic was taken....will post updates as they happen!

enjoy!

Now I've started to rethink my build. It's so hard to when you see all these cool builds going on. I've changed my mind a few times. I would just get more bikes but I'm on a short leash. 2 is the max.
