That was the same year I bought my Sportster. A friend did the paint job, I made brackets to keep the Saddle bags away from the exhaust pipes, installed home-made front foot rests and mirror mounts, and put the battery cover together from old pieces of perforated metal. I also cut the saddle bags (they didn't fit the Sporty) and added additional leather so they would fit. It was an interesting looking little bugger, but no one would ever mistake the things I did for a professional custom job. I also bought an oversized peanut style gas tank, as I quickly tired of having to stop at every gas station to fill the tiny stock Sportster tank.

All I have left now of my biking days is the tattoo.
