The re-build steps at Customizing my 2004 Harley Sportster into a "Brit-like" Cafe racer. 6 months of "leisure" time in the unheated garage!

Awesome, and I love that you were able to use the stock tank and side covers, but making them look custom. Great work, it looks like a lot of fun to ride!

Thank You. My first motorcycle in High School was a 36 HD Knucklehead. I still wish I had that one! I have had Nortons, Triumphs, BSAs, Velocettes etc. but they are all kick start motorcycles. At age 59 I finally decided that my kick start days are over, so when my son (a HD mechanic) told me about this stock 2004 at a good price, I decided to pick it up and make it my own! As I would build it. It took me about 9 month's to complete. I needed to wait for summer to arrive so it was warm enough in my garage to paint it.

where did you find the 18 inch rims? I'm doing a similar build and this was super motivating.

On e-bay. I searched "Borrani" style rims and the correct number of spoke holes. I finally found someone who sold them. It was three or four years ago so forgive me if I don't remember his name.

+John Head awesome thank you! is it the spoke number of the stock

Yes, Get the proper spool hubs for the bike and be sure to match the holes and spoke pattern if possible with the modern sportster models.
