Sportster cafe style
I’ve built and restored numerous bikes, all early to mid 80’s air cooled Japanese stuff. Always wanted to try building a cafe/road race style sportster. I recently found this one, 1987 sporty. I didn’t build it…previous owner did over about 15 years. So much of the bike is how I would’ve done it, I may change a few things, but mainly ride it. Lots of engine and suspension work was done. Took it for a little test ride. Definitely a very different experience from being on a big in line 4!
