Looks like a good start, will be fun watching as you go.

Cool!
I'm messing around with an old Iron Head Sporty from the 70's.
The frame was tweaked in a wreak, I've cut out the unrepairable sections.
I will be using parts I've got from some of my unfinished projects, and build everything else.

That sounds good

Dyna sounds like your like me I build the bike in my mind way before I even start

I'l take some photos today (after I shovel my way to the garage) and put them on my profile.

This will be a MOTORCYCLE & exactly what attracted me to the breed
but
Wish you had not tweaked a Buell, that is a motorcycle straight out of the box - Please tell me it was a basket case

Yep, we butchered the buell, it was leaking oil in several spots, had been well abused, but it had what I needed and has provided me with another motor to play with.

Absolutely
Is there any other way
I find if you don't have a plan, you just bumble along and never achieve anything.

Very cool!
Maby we need a chat for people rebuilding / building bikes? Just a thought.

Yesterday we started to pull the sporty apart to get everything ready for the powder coater.
I have worked on this bike so many times for more years than I car to remember it is like coming back to an old love that re-ignites the flame as to why I started building bikes in the first place.

Cool,cant wait to see how she progresses!

Hey you done with that thing yet!!!
Just kidd'n.

This box section KJ swingarm arrived during the week and I got on with the stripping of the motot for some more gofast goodies
February 23, 2011 3:32 PM PST
Cool swingarm. :-)
How about an update on the build!
September 21, 2011 12:29 AM PDT
This will be back on the bench as of from tomorrow so will keep you updated as it progresses from there.

Sweet!

Right on!

So, in the first post, I see a Sportster with a Green frame and tank and another Sportster with a Maroon frame and tank.
Are you building the Green one and using the Maroon one (along with the Buell) for parts? You probably stated that somewhere, but I missed it.
If that swingarm doesn't work for you, I'd imagine an XR1200 swingarm would be much less and fit in there easier. Just FYI.
