Nice video, Stan. Sounds like you came to the same conclusion I did with my Harley-Davidson Heritage. I loved that bike and how comfortable it was for long trips but it was just getting too heavy for me in slow speed maneuvering and muscling around my garage. So I sold it and bought a lighter BMW F750 GS and never looked back. I love how light it is and how great it handles especially on curvy mountain roads like we have here in North Georgia. I can still put bags on it including a top case and it’s fine for touring. Made a trip to West Virginia and back this summer. Look forward to seeing you on our next KOB group ride. Love your Sportster 72. My favorite Sporty of them all.

My wife sold her 700 lbs chopper and bought the new HD Nightster that weighs in at 478 lbs. 😎👍👍🇺🇸

You could’ve left the tank and seat on

I just did the same thing on my 2018 Iron 883. It's not a terribly hard job - just time consuming. I feel your pain 😀

I want this seat so bad for my 72. Looks so sick bro!

I like the Cherohala better than the Tail of the Dragon and much less crowded. Thanks for sharing your ride.

Nice ride, Stan. I’ve been on that road and love it. Especially from Fort Mountain State Park to Chatsworth. Tryout Hwy 136 from Talking Rock to Hwy 411. Another great road in the area. Stop by Carters Lake and Dam. One of the largest earth dams around.

It’s a beautiful ride through there. 😎👍👍

JR’s Road Kill BBQ at base of mountain near Turners Corner in Lumpkin County is owned by my great uncle. 😎👍

I’ve rode that stretch of pavement many of times. 😎👍👍

Burnt Mountain Rd from Dawsonville to Jasper is another great road for riding 👍

It’s a beautiful ride across Fort Mountain 😎👍

Put four-inch longer shocks on the back to

great work bike looks sick!!

The bike is looking good. 😎👍👍 My dad’s old 74 chopper had the King & Queen seat.

My wife bought her first Harley this last Saturday and she already has the buy after market parts bug. 😎👍

Looks awesome Stan!! Congrats. Looking forward to joining you in a ride in near future! Stay safe and God Bless!

Looks good 😎👍👍

That old fender had a terrible life 😬👍

Almost be easier to remove rear tire first. That looks like a tight spot to work in 😬👍

Looks like it turned out really nice 😎👍👍

Beautiful bike looks sharp

Good video! I appreciate you saying what size everything is! 🤘

I dig it !

Nice video. We've added it to a few of the playlists on our RU-vid channel. Thank you for your business, we appreciate it and are happy to hear you're enjoying the mods.

4” lift should give plenty of airflow between tank and engine 😎👍

Thank you Dwayne! I will have more to come as I install all of your excellent products 😃

Hey Brother Stan! Thanks for the shout out. This video is very well done and I can't wait to see the 72 finished. -Dwayne

Great Project Bike! 👍 KP

Nice Video, headed over to watch your other ones. We appreciate your business. 👍 KP

Nice looking bike for a project 😎👍

17 years ago I lowsided my motorcycle going up Blood Mountain from Dahlonega to Blairsville and broke 38 bones when I slid off a cliff and hit a tree. Died 4 times and walked in Heaven for 10 minutes. I believe and put trust in God every day. 😎👍

Your videos are great Brother Stan! They are informative and I love to learn from the point of view of riding a motorcycle down a country road.

Another nice video Stan! FWIW I like this camera angle :) makes me think I’m the one doing the riding! Vivat Jesus!

Deo Gratias! Vivat Jesus!
