2012 Sportster Forty Eight For Sale!!

 For Sale! 2012 Sportster Forty Eight 1200. This has been my ol’ reliable bike for years and I wouldn’t hesitate to ride this anywhere… Only selling to fund the Datsun build! I have owned this since new and have slowly customized a few things over the years. Most recently I just welded up a stainless exhaust system and made a brand new leather seat with ZERO farts on it! Has an Altman Electronics ignition system and a Mikuni vm38 carb (no fuel injection). Has an aftermarket spun aluminum oil tank. Has a set of stainless apes with some aftermarket tins in gloss black. Asking 6500$ Or Best Offer!

Sportster Seat for Sale!

 Finished this sportster seat up a while back and its up for grabs!  This is a stock swingarm Sportster seat made for years 1982-2003.  This started as a fiberglass Corbin seat, refoamed and covered in some Relicate black leather tuck and roll.  This seat would work best with a stock style sportster tank.  Please pay attention to the front of the seat and how it fits with the tank.  See last photo from the Le Pera website.

Check it out on my website here!!

Took the Datsun shop truck out earlier this summer while my little brother was in town with his drone and camera.  Just wanted to get some videos and do some burnouts... Did one too many I guess!  This was the stock Datsun rear end so it was only a matter of time before it let go... Time to start saving up for a Ford 9"!!

Shop Truck Interior - 74 Datsun 620

Couple shots of the interior of the Datsun shop truck.  Got a couple vital gauges installed in the stock dash, laid down some German square weave carpet, and made some leather kick panels for the corners.  Still need to pull the bench seat and rework that.  Hopefully this spring I can get to that!

Im Back Baby!

     Ive been spending most of my time the past couple years posting and showcasing work on Instagram.  Due to the toxic nature and state of the platform I am planning on shifting most of my content to this blog.  Instagram's algorithm, and the fact that you have to pay to get people to see your posts has led me to conclude that the platform is dead.  Since I was last posting about my race bike, here are a couple photos of the state that its in now.

Cheers!
