About my XLCH Sportster

"PURPLEXED"...Got this baby as a basketcase and did everything from ground-up, including the paint!
Bored and Stroked with Truett/Osborn crank assembly...Andrews cams and gears, Weisco pistons...Need to beef up the spark, that's next.
Thanx and Ride Safe,
Brother Ben

You've got a good eye for detail. The "Rockguard" is fabricated from a retired "mangled" stop sign. It serves multi purposes being a rock-guard, reflective saftey piece and as a custom "flamed" accessory to add to the overall look.
Thanks for the interest. Ride Safe.
