Loving this bike. I'm building a sportster for my fiancé and she's liking the dirt bike style builds. Thinking about building something a little more supermoto style. Keep up the great work!

That's a gem of a find for 800 americanos! A days work, and runs like a top. I'm doing a KTM 690 Enduro front end swap, and most likely shock and swingarm on my KLR650. Gives an extra 0.8 inches of cushion, if you know what I mean jelly bean. But most importantly, that quality WP fully adjustable suspension. Going to have the bike all redone for the wife and I to make the trip all the way down to the Keys this summer. And we hope that we can meet y'all and maybe hang for a bit.

If you want some inspiration for a similar style bike as to what you're building, look at Roland Sands' flat tracker BMW he built. It's got a lot of the same style stuff on it including the number plate headlight thing. I saw it on Norman Reedus Rides. Oh man, that'd not even ethanol turning into that weird green shit... that carb straight up had water sitting in it! RIP carb, good thing you've got a TC Bros sponsorship, they should hook you up with a carb for that thing. They do have a 34mm Mikuni for a XS650 but it wouldn't be hard to convert it over for that Sportster. Looks like a twin carb kit.. doable with a pair of 90's to have one on one side and one on the other, it'd definitely wake that engine up. I wish I had the money and a good AC/DC TIG so I could weld up an intake adapter for Josh so he could put an old school Holley carb off a Jeep or old Ford flathead pickup on his Goldwang and make it so much easier to tune and have it working right again.. Though knowing him if I sent him the parts they'd just sit in a box or the saddlebag forever and not get put on it.
