I wanted to start a thread dedicated to Harley's and other American motorcycles. If you ride, like bikes, or want to know some answers to questions regarding mechanics; this is the place to be! Upload pictures, facts, or overviews at your leisure! I'll start with a question; I'm building a bike right now and I was curious if I could mount a 1,000cc iron head motor to a Dyna frame? Specifically around '03 for the frame and around '80-84 for the engine. Thanks!
IDK.. I had a 69 Triumph custom chopper for about a month before I almost killed myself.... It *kind of* looked like this.. Different seat, tank, paint, pipes.. But the springer stretch and lack of front brake are about the same B)
That is baaaaaaaad my friend. I'm hoping to get this build started soon but if I find it cheaper to just restore/rebuild one; I'll do that. I'll keep an update! Very nice... What's the story there? Lol
I had come into some cash and I bought the bike on a whim... Rode it for about 3-4 weeks, having never rode a bike before. 3AM, drunk as fuck, speeding like a fucking lunatic, I misjudged a corner at the end of a long straight, locked up the rear wheel, launched myself off it as it went down, and the bike ended up mangled under the guardrail. I was lucky, missed the guardrail, missed the trees, and just went for a swim.... At 3AM.... Drunk... In November.... In NY.... I never got it legal, and I bought it in cash so I pretty much just swam/ran for it lol ... They looked for "a body" for a few hours, cleaned up the scene, and went home. And that was the end of my riding career
Wow man well I'm glad you're still around to tell the tale... Fire water+anything with an engine= bad idea lol
Ok, I'm a little baked and fucked up the reply, but I had a 69 Bonneville that looked similar to this. I think I attached the pic to my previous reply but I'm baked as fuck. Anyway, it was my first chopper that I scored after rummaging through the storage area of a local Triumph shop. Sold it for cash to go to MMI then bought a 45 GE while I was in Arizona.
Does anybody know the difference between a Harley and a crotch rocket ? On a Harley the bitch rides on the back....j/k kinda
