Hey bro! where did you get your mid controls or did you customize them yourself? I have a 2000 883 sporster and i have been looking to convert to mids but cannot find anything to do so!
with that Maltese cross,they will call you the " NAZI BOBBER" I would say put a swatz on the tank,but you would need a full kevlar body suit and good eyes to see all the bullets flying at you.nice bike
@ledzx3 tell me about it. The govt is slowly trying to make bike riding an elite event. they are charging us thorugh the roof. it costs over 600 beans to ride here and our season is from may to october, but we have to pay the fulll season. its expensive but i guess worth it if you love to ride. keep the vids comming. I will post once the 3 feet of snow we got melts....probably by june.lol take care.
@ledzx3 It would be nice if he does. yeah they are pretty strict. also the roads are alot rougher. The pot holes are brutal. keep me posted great work again on your sporty.

Well If you have it and the price is reasonable I would be interested. I live in Montreal Canada. I just htink you had hit it right on the head with your mods. We cant roll here with rigids but struts would pass. thanks for the reply
@ledzx3 Hey man, I found the site, but can't seem to figure out which LED strips you have. Any help would be awesome, i'm working on my on bobber. Thanks again!
@Kgrablin all i know is that they are the LED Arrays... my buddy gave me what was left of his..i had to solder them together and split it evenly for the left and right side.
that's a sweeet sportster i like the light strip u put on solid struts i was thinkin same idea for my 02 sportster custom i havent found what i like to put on till i saw your video would u mind telling me where u got them thanks
look up LED Arrays on google. i think customdynamics or dynamic.com has them... i got them from a friend, and soldered different lengths together to get make mine.. but i think he got them from there.
i thought of that, but my buddy who gave me these LED's already did that... and it isn't as bright, cause it is tilted wrong..and dirty from the slinging stuff off the tire.
my bike isn't like this anymore...check out sportster bobber vid part 4
i have seen guys spend 10 times the amount of money on a harley and not have a bike anywhere near as good as what you have done . and yours would probably out perform them on a track too.
Bad ass bike mate!!! Want to stick flat bars on mine but what will it ride like with forwards on aswell???? Should I use risers? Don't have the mids anymore so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Nice bike brother! I have a 99 as well. Was wondering about the mid controls...Ive got forwards on but want mids...been looking around but cant find anything!
hahahaha! almost a good lookin bike. Would have been really nice if I didn't hear "I had " this done and that done so much. You gotta wrench your own ride brother. Once you get to know your own bike you wont be such a profiler. (wrench, ride, repeat).
i don't have a welder , or a master seat maker... i painted the bike, chopped the fender, added the struts, made the headlight extend, wired the brake lights, etc. but thanks. and now i have the tail end all re done, got a full hard tail weld on kit done. it will be a good lookin bike. it already was.
like your bobber man..just started my 08 1200c. hows the seat from lickscycle? is it the slimline or the spring solo small..also did you have to weld any part of the seat
the red LED strips, are LED Arrays... they are on a few different websites... do a search, you'll find them... i got mine from a friend who didn't want the left over ones... i just soldered them all together, and made 2 identical lengths. wired it to the brake light wire.
@Fileno33 I think he's running a White wall AVON I think... I don't know the model number but the tread pattern looks like AVON anyway... I could be wrong.
@ledzx3 shit... I'm not as good as thought... something avon looks close to that, or they did have one... probably not, I probably smoked way to much pot...
awesome bike man, I've been agonizing over what to do for turn signals when I bob my sportster, I'm stealing you L.E.D.s on the struts idea! nice and clean but still bright enough to be safe. thanks for the video
He's got a nice idea, might I also suggest putting them under the seat? It would look nice, as well...I've seen several mounted underneath the seat...I'm gonna bob my harley soon...
i got a water retaining ring from Home Depot...about 8 bucks...cut it in half, matched two pieces and drilled holes in them...making a bracket for the headlight.
the LED strips are Led Arrays... google those 2 words, and you'll find several websites that sells them.
it's a water retaining ring from Home Depot...or at least part of it. about 8 bucks. just cut 2 identical pieces off the ring, added more holes, extra bolt and nuts and washers, and there you have it!
What is a water retaining ring?? You mean like a big C-clip retaining ring. If I go to Home Depot and ask for a Water Retaining Ring, will they know what I want? Also is that a painted headlamp or powder coated.Did you buy it like that or use the original chrome one?
i guess look in the water piping products section, and i found them hanging individually on a plastic thing, all hanging downwards...not on a shelf. they were black, a big ring, about 8 inches across, and a red and white background paper that it's tied to, if i'm correct. the headlamp is stock...the XLC. and i just painted it black with spray paint.
One of the best sporty conversions I've seen. Very slick scoot man
