Cafe Sportster Build - The Beginning

2003 883 Sporty, used as development bike at Burly Brand and then abandoned in the corner. Massive clutch cable was a friction test and probably spec'd for a much taller bar! 

If ever a bike screamed "please help me!"

At some point the air cleaner had been lost. 

Layers of dust under questionable rack. 

The binning of parts begin. 

Second bin full

OK, mockup time. Need to level out the chassis to make a Cafe look right. Had a set of 13" shocks to aid setup, but they're still too short.  May need to drop the fork a bit, too. 

Not loving the silver motor.
