Sportster Choppin Sunday
Decided to randomly start working on my bike today. I guess getting out for a ride yesterday with the homies gave me the itch to get some new shit done. The one thing I have been itching to do for the past six months is chop my cam and sprocket covers. I must say, I am extremely stoked on how this is turning out so far. Sorry, nightime iPhone pics not that rad.

The cam cover = essential choppin'. Looks slick.
... now get rid of that belt! Chain conversion = essential swap after cam choppin'.
Thats next on the list for sure. I am on the fence about doing a weld on right now since riding season is literally right around the corner, I dont want to have to sit out any rides. With that said, I was going to wait to do the chain conversion until then because I was hesitant to do it on a swingarm. Thoughts? How was the chain on your sporty when it had a swingarm?
My Sporty still has - and will always have - a swingarm. But to answer the question; the chain is great... no stretch, so it's nice and snappy. Just make sure to use a big-ass racing chain so it lasts... and looks mean.
And take the swingarm challenge - anybody can make a rigid look good, but makin' a swinger look good...? Yeah. Challenge. And, as an added bonus, your spleen won't bleed as much, and your spine might last a little longer before it fuses.
