    Hi guys well i picked up my 1991 1200 sportster about twelve months ago for $5000 motor was good and was sort of rideable but electrics and alot of gear was worn out got it home and replaced  a few things and polished all the alloy parts on my bench polisher in the shed  and replaced the tank for a penut tank solo seat and different rear guard. AS you will see in the pics it made alot of difference but still wasnt happy and the following pics are whats happening now hope you enjoy my slow rebuild .All the stuff getting done to the bike will be in my shed besides the frame welding

    Well this is the start of probably a couple of years without riding guys hope you enjoy
