Hello
I just wanted to show off my latest build. It started out as a 1981 KZ1000 LTD. We streched the rear 2" It has a hartail and a custom 8" over springer frontend that we build at my shop City Limit Customs.

We are running Harley aftermarket spoke wheels 200mm tire on the rear.

I think the 70's Choppers look best when they are made from Japanese bikes. Too many of the Harleys all look the same and it is difficult to even tell the year. The four cylinder inlines have a specific look unto themselves and today they are a rare commodity on the road. Those of us who owned stuff like this during that period really appreciate a well done period look. Nice job! I would love to see more pictures especially from the side so we could see the stance. Are you going to put an old school airbrush theme on the tank?...Russ
