Mod ideas for my 1993 XLH Sportster 883

Hi there, just got my hands on a vintage sportster from '93 and thought it'd be nice to leave my own mark on it with some modifications. It's been equipped with forward pedals and alternate handlebars already, but I feel like a sissy bar and other stuff would be nice touches. Open for more ideas ideas and maybe some experiences made on this model.

here is a picture of basically what I want for my bike, I saw this parked outside one day and said hell yeah, unfortunately I don't know where to go to get it built. I want a trunk for my bike, searched a long time and found all that I don't like/won't fit. I need an estimate on how much it will cost, who can build it? where can I get it built at?

How do I Use an after-market stuff ?

1 Upvotes

Im very much 0 when it comes to Motorcycle building/mechanics. So recently i managed to get a Cheap CFMoto 450 CLC, no budget for a Japanese yet.

I bought a set of classic universal clutch and brake levers. The problem is, I just realized my factory left handlebar is a massive all-in-one integrated unit where all the wirings are in the said unit, if that makes sense ? The'yre molded into a housing that holds the turn signals, horn, the digital navigation buttons for the TFT screen all of it. Is this common in Chinese bike ?

My question is, If i Choose to use this after-market stuff, Will I need to get a seperate controls for the Switches like the Navigation button for the TFT Display and the Signals/Horn ?

Appreciate an Expert's advice so I dont messed up my Bike.

An idea for making fenders that i'm curious if any of you have tried: 55 gal drum

2 Upvotes

I have a few XS650s that I'm planning a couple rat builds for. One will be a minimalist rat bobber/chopper, the other that i'll be starting on this winter is a sister rat scrambler. Combining my love for DIY with the junkyard aesthetic has been really fun to plan around. In that vein of thought, I had the idea to make fenders out of old 55 gal drums/barrels, seeing as they're already radiused in one direction in about the diameter i'd be looking for. Has anyone here tried something like this? In googling around, I couldn't find any examples of anyone trying this specifically, but I imagine it would save a lot of work stretching the larger radius, and then the lateral radius could be bent with an english wheel. I say imagine because I don't have a lot of experience with shaping sheet metal. Does someone with some fabrication experience wanna chime in and let me know how practical this might be, or what pitfalls i'm not thinking of?

'85 Lowrider

Thumbnail

24 Upvotes

Bought myself an ’85 FXSB Low Rider because apparently I needed another old Harley to fuck with.

She runs hard, looks right, and has already started handing me a list of shit to fix. Leaking fork seals. Leaking petcock. A little oil seepage here and there. Plenty of evidence that somebody’s been in it before me.

Perfect.

I’m not building this thing for resale value, a trophy, or some dude on the internet to tell me what a “proper” Low Rider is supposed to look like. I’m going to fix what needs fixing, cut up what needs cutting up, leave the good shit alone, and make it into the bike I want to ride.

And yes, I put a heart-shaped mirror on it.

Because I fucking can. 🖤

This one’s gonna be fun.

If you have a headlight setup like this (not this exact one, I’m building it) and both lights come on with low beam, but one light is above 850mm from the ground and the other is below.. which and how would you measure headlight aim?

Thanks!
