I've been thinking of picking up a sportster for a winter project. Inspired by this kind of thing (more flat tracker than café, admittedly):

Might be fun to cruise around on.

Keep us updated!

Very, very nice!

Thanks! I think you should! It's going to be a great release when done. I've already started laying out the 2nd bike. Bobber project gets going next Monday when my guy gets back from the holiday. Wheels are looking good! I have to resize and post later!

I like the purposefulness of that flat tracker bike. Very stylish.
