Matt T's swingarm XL frame
Matt T. from Arizona way. Matt's a talented chopper builder, Air Force vet, and all around good dude. He removed the hardtail and modified the swing arm on his Sporty. The mock up was bitchin. Can't wait to see it all painted up and put together. I stole this pic from the QCB forum and had to share it here.

Piece of Cake
I needed to disassemble the forks so I can have the fender mounts shaved off from the fork lowers. Boy, it needed it. New seal kit and fork oil required. Contrary to what I've read on other forums, it was a piece of cake disassembling the forks. All you need is a good vise with soft jaws,
a freind that knows, basic hand tools, and your done. Of course a service manual would have worked in place of a freind but what fun is that? Now to get the lowers shipped for a shave!

Better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it. You can never predict when trouble will come a calling, .40 cal manstoppers. Get the proper training, the proper permits, and know the law. Remember basic gun handling safety, never ever point a gun loaded or unloaded at anything you do not want to destroy. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.

Sporto
This my current daily rider. My friend Matthew and I built the hardtail. Its been a good reliable bike but now I want to rebuild it. I need to shorten the hardtail, the motor needs a good bath, new chrome on the bars, pipes and fork tubes, fresh powdercoat, different fender, and I have a set of Sportster mags I want to run.
