This picture is the only one that I have of the tear down (I didn't think I would be documenting)Īlong with the teardown I also stripped the wiring harness down to the bare essentials. So I started the build over my winter vacation, the tear down of the bike took me about 2 days and approximately 3 steak and cheese subs When I first bought the bike, its a 1995 sporty 1200Īfter I had put a couple parts on it, (Drag pipes, Banana seat, Z bars + risers, forward controls, Tank lift and ignition relocation, coil pack relocation) I have some experience with cars just from general goofing around with my friends and I've always liked working with my hands. My dad owns an automotive repair shop, so I've always had the tools I need. When I got the money for the car back I decided to build the bike because I didn't really want a car anymore and I had wanted a to build I bike for a while. While I was at school my sister kinda sorta totaled my car. I rode it mostly stock (I swapped out some parts) over the summer season and then tucked it away when I left for school. Just some quick background: I bought this bike right when I turned 18 from some old lady in NH that couldn't ride it anymore for $2300. I've already started building the bike, so I'll try to piece together everything I've got so far. Well regardless of whether I'll use it for that purpose or not, I liked the idea. So basically my neighbor/family friend told me I should document the build process of this bike so I could show future employers that I don't sit around and pick my nose all day.
