Thanks Jim. We built this one back in 1996 or 1997...it was a 1980 model and the forks were stock but with +6 inch over tubes.....at least I seem to remember they were +6 inch over.....

Sporty's get a bad Rap, but they shouldn't, they make a hell of a chopper.

They sure do, especially when you bore and stroke them like my Bro did with this baby... over here in the UK big twins are often too expensive for us ordinary folks so sporties are much more populat (prices are about double those of Stateside...) and yes I used to be able to kick start it!!!

Yeah, compared to stock big twins, they do super well. Better valve train configuration, 4 cams, lighter, more nimble.
Its easy to massage them for great HP and Torque numbers too.
Very nice chopper Maz. You and your brother were building some sweet rides.
