1972 Harley Davidson Sprint
« on: May 09, 2012, 10:36:33 AM »
  My friend Jeff encouraged me to get back into bikes.  He created a monster, for awhile there I was buying bikes and parts like groceries.  My enthusiasm made him miss his old days of building HD's from the frame up and he's been looking for a project for awhile now.  And he wanted to build a cafe racer that he can give to his son when he's old enough to ride.
  I'd like to introduce you all to a new generation of vintage bike enthusiast:

Li'l Jeff!

I'm going to post the pics that he sends to me.  I'm not really involved in the project but I think there are people here who would like to check it out.

This was at the OBR yesterday.  Is it a sprint?  I like it whatever it is.

I think it is.  It looks like someone dressed it up like a grown up HD.

Yea looked more dressed up than I remember.  Sounded like it had a bunch of compression.

He's a great kid, and his dad is a great guy.  I can't wait to see the bike finished, it's out right now getting the turn signal mounts re-welded.
