Transforming stock to SWEEEEET…
Lets face it the billet barge era is DEAD!! Its time for an influx of fresh new ideas, Something edgy, something cool, something so simple you can’t help but look twice. Hmmmmmmm… what to do, what to do. If you look closely you’ll see we have started a new project here at Licks. We’ve decided to convert a stock Sporty to a bonified bad ass hardtail that screams low, lean and mean. If you thought it was impossible to get that low-slung ground up look on your stock bike…think again. This project will have you hardcore folks watering at the chops!!
Where to start…..the frame you’re looking at is a titled/numbered 2000 Harley Sportster totally stripped of all parts. We bought this baby as a shop bike and soon got tired of looking at it in the shop….stock sucks. So we took everything off down to the last nut and bolt, hacked off the whole rear section and replaced with a 4″ over hardtail rear. This baby comes complete with round oil tank and battery box behind the lower rear portion of the motor.…….
Want to hear more?… stay tuned for what this baby is gonna look like…..skinny tires…small tank…no front brake….jockey shift…..some of that may change when we get deeper in it….but it gives you an idea where we are not going……
Here’s the deal…we will be posting our project updates right here on the Licks Blog. Check back often to see the transformation and maybe even get some ideas for yourself.
This is just the thing I have been looking to do with my Sporty. I can’t wait to see what you guys will come up with for this project. There are so many of my frinds that have stock sportsters collecting dust in their garage “paid for”. Its cool that you guys are trying to give us some custom face lift options….thanks again ..loyal Licks customer..Mike

Yea! That billet rage has been way over done. It’s so done there’s no juice left in it. When are you going to show more pics of where the build is at? Would like to see more.
I’m trying to figure out how to mount big twin fatbobs on my 75 sporty. No bracket kits for this job so will have to work something out.
