Beautiful!

I think it's great that you used a Harley Evo engine, and not some high buck billet monster engine. Great lines, great detail. I love looking at the lines of the high end choppers, but my favorite lines as far as tanks go is a variation of the Sporty p-nut, like yours.

After looking your bike over, I just e-mailed twobitchoppers and asked Justin to quote me a cam cover with some lettering.

How hard was it to get that internal throttle set-up installed and de-bugged? Man, I just ran some simple internal wire extensions down a set of buckhorns last winter and it about got the best o' me!

Great job!

Very nice looking bike Shawn!

Shawn,

You have done very well with your first ground up build.

Big D articulated all the important info and gave it a great review.

the time and attention to detail shows. good job. ride with pride.

[Shawn1340]

Thanks guys!

The internal throttle was a challenge because my bars have a dimple in them for the wiring. It took a bit of creativity but it worked.

Here is a link to my actual build thread if you want more details. Shawn1340's Softail Project - Club Chopper Forums It's a long read since it took me 2 years to finish the bike. I went through a lot to get it done.

Thanks for the feedback! I am trying to make up my mind on what to do next. I'm far from done with building!

Decisions, decisions...
