Hows about some pics of Sporty chops?

Wondering what one might look like.

 

Define "Sporty"...

Or look at a 60s Volvo P1800.
They look factory chopped and are sporty.

 

Sportster choppers...........man!

 

I second that motion! I've got a good running ironhead motor with nowhere to go with it. I'm just gonna wait until I stumble onto something at a swap meet or something. I'd love some inspirational pictures of sporty choppers. Brad

 

Hey recycler did we hang out at Bakersfield a couple years back?? My memory for names is just crap but I thought it was you who went to Squeek Bells place in my Caddy with us..

 

Here's little brothers Sporty.

Ran high 12's at Long Beach after a modest build-up after he came back from Vietnam.
In fact, it was his "drag racer".
Then he built a 37 Olds coupe, got it to the almost running stage with a 455 Olds, but sold it to go for the lighter weight Henry J.
Which he still has.

Anyhow, the Sporty is apart right now and he's sticking a stroker kit in it along with some other changes.
Should be 80" plus when he's done.

I had a pic of one that had a white bates seat and mooneyes on the tank. It was more bobber than chopper and cool as hell. I loved that bike but when the last computer crashed it was on the hard drive and now is stuck in the cyberspcae junkyard. That thing was so damn smooth

 

Hey RATBOY! you've got a good memory! That was me. That was a very fun evening. I haven't been back to Bfield since but I plan on going this fall. Still have the caddy? Brad

 

hey Curly, that bike and a few other sporties are on www.greasykulture.com

 

A picture of mine. Just painted all the peices today, I can start final assembly this week.

 

nimrod- that's cool!

here's mine almost finished

 

.

 

Jaker - is that a factory mag wheel on the rear? That looks really cool!

 

Here's my old ironhead sportster...

 

This is one of the best looking chopped Sportsters I've seen. These pics are from that greasykulture link above. Some guy named Bill built it...it rocks.

 

Front

 

Rear

 

here is mine.

 

question - my sporty has a narrow glide, what exactly do I need to convert it to a wide glide (using my forks)?

 

Dan, you need wide triple trees, longer axle, &amp; wheel spacers.

 

cool, thanks for the info, anyone have any of those parts they want to get rid of, and while I'm at how about an S&amp;S for a '70 with a magneto

 

Here is the one I'm putting together now. It has a ford spare tire cover rear fender, full moons on the rear wheel, &amp; a tuck &amp; roll seat. The wheels will be apple green. The oil tank will be made with '32 V8 hubcaps.
