Jaimie Kangas, holds and rides this sparkling and planished framed Sportster, customized by her hubby from Twisted Choppers, Jason who is an expert in label style motorcycles, rebuilt this bike from scratch. This is solitary Jaimie ' s second custom made motorcycle. Her first was well a markedly - raked rigid bike, which Jason and built for her.
This custom chopper is entirely different from her very first bike. It ' s got much more of an elderly time racer appearance to it, considering opposed to a conventional raked and extended road chopper look. Minx apropos a custom made motorbike that was smaller and lighter to ok that it would meet her hop taste and would still be relaxing to ride.
A 2001 Harley - Davidson XL 1200 was acquired since a donor motorcycle for the objection although it had been a complete and really good bobber, it was immediately stripped down. The framework was sliced up and tailored to receive a custom made hard - tail kit. These hard - tail packages included all the required parts and components for remodeling any Harley Sportster into a sturdy bike.
Included as well within the set up is a tailor made oil tank, backside fender, saddle, and a custom made battery box. Because of this, as soon as Jason had the body welded back together and the rest of the elements on, there was very little left of the original donor motorcycle aside from the drivetrain and front body section. The exhaust system, saddle and brackets, and handlebars among other things were all made by hand for this motorcycle. And up front, Jason constructed a springer front - end for the specific size required to keep up with the wanted ride height based on Jaimie ' s requirements.
Any time questioned what is the most challenging part of the build, Jaimie responded, " Getting my partner to finish the project! The entire build started out as my second custom bike, so it sat in the garage going for a back seat to other projects for more than a year with little work getting done. "
She ended up selling her motorcycle during the winter and now bike season getting close fast, Jaimie would like to be there without getting a bike. So she gave Jason a kick in the pants and the build started to gain momentum and was finally finished in the spring. The bike utilizes a combination of new and old parts for a straightforward but classic visual appearance that appears great from any position. And with the Sportster drive - train mounted in the lightweight frame, it provides lots of horses for her everyday riding fulfillment.
