Parts for Sale!

Chopper parts for sale! These parts are all original vintage chopper parts. Everything is USA made and 30+ years old. Email me at bryantcustomcycle@gmail.com if interested in anything. I will be in San Diego for the next few weekends if anybody needs me to deliver.

Here is what I have:

First off is a Chrome Twisted Metal Springer front end. It appears to be made by D & D Cycle in Burbank, CA. Chrome is a little pitted - $300

Next up is a sissy bar. I could not find a make on it. It was mounted on a Harley Sportster Chopper. Upholstery does not have a rip. You can see in the pictures chrome is good except for where the sissy bar makes a sharp angle up. It is this way on both sides - $100

Cobra Seat. The upholstery is in great shape except for one small rip on the bottom. This too was off a Sportster Chopper - $150

Saddle Bags. In great shape, real leather all the straps and buckles still function - $90

Chrome Canister Oil Filter. Great shape except for a few miner dings. You can see in the photos - $40

Lastly I have some Sportster Parts for sale. All these are off a 1971 Harley Sportster:

Oil Bag. In great shape. Has chrome cap - $20

Rear fender struts. Chrome is in great shape but I believe somebody added an extra hole to each side - $15

Battery Box. In great shape - $20

I would be interested in trading for the following:

Triumph forks, Triumph fork covers, 18" and 21" Akront alloy wheels, and a Bates style seat.

Doug Hartelt Coupe

A great inspiration and a good read. The Doug Hartelt Coupe:

Motor In!

Degreased the motor pretty good and muscled it into the frame.

Rancherooo!

Speaking of Trophy Trucks, I spotted this little gem last time I was in Mexico. Looks like he is all set up for Baja!

I love Mexico!

DP9

Well this last Thursday the wife and I went down to our local eatery, Brewers. They hosted the premier of Dezert People 9. They had a little car show which had a great turnout of some incredible race cars. Some great inspiration for any fabricator. Oh and did I mention I have the best wife ever!

The TSCO Trophy Truck. This is about as badass as it gets.

The TSCO Prerunner

Dang.

Some More Pics!

I still need to figure out the down tube from the back bone. I can figure this out after I figure out the placement of the oil bag. I am planning on using a horseshoe oil bag.

To give you an idea of the stance, I am about the 5'10".

Roller

Some new updates on the XLCH. After some long, long hours and after countless bent up pieces of tubing I finally have a "roller"! I made it a few times but I like the angles I have come up with so that it just flows. The intent was to get it low and so that it doesn't have that broken back look that so many hardtail Sportsters have. It may have taken way more work and effort but I believe it was worth it. I also completed about 98% of the welding before I ran out of argon. 

My axle plates. I was able to retain the stock ones from the swing arm along with a little bit of modification.

End caps I made for each of the tubes for the hardtail. Again all of this was accomplished simple hand tools(a lot filing) so it took some time, as you could imagine.

Here it is all tacked together.

More photos coming soon!

Summertime Blues

Down and Level

Here I just had to get an idea of what it looked like on the ground. I also set up my '36 Ford spare tire cover fender on there. I am currently figuring out my lines for the hardtail set up with chain and brake connecting rod clearence.

Toadster Progress

---

I have been making some progress. Cleaned up all the parts to sell, figured out the stance I wanted, removed the motor, cleaned the bottom end of the frame(and 40 years of sludge), and started hacking the frame. Finished both of the legs before I start to connect the rear wheel with the hardtail. The idea here was to make them look like two cast original Harley pieces. Which is kind of the direction I am going for with the rest of the frame. Just make it look as if Harley produced a hardtail Sportster and do it as clean as I can in the process. Here are some pictures:

What it started out looking like

Bryant Speed and Cycle

I guess it is time for me to finally start a blog, so I can record these creations as the develop over time. Bare with me as share my latest build.

I recently acquired this 1971 Harley Davidson XLCH through trading a restored 1978 Suzuki GS400. The story on the bike is that it came out of California. The gentleman who built it, bought it new and used it as his daily commuter for many year and parking it in a shed at his Medford home in the mid 80s. Recently realizing he wasn't going to be doing anything with it he decided to give it to his step son. The step son decided to part with it due to his lack of mechanical knowledge. So, in the mean time he was looking for something classy and vintage that he wouldn't have to work on and he came across my Craigs List add for my GS400. He loved the bike and the deal was made. The bike also came with a bunch parts.

When I got the bike it didn't seem to run but appeared to have good compression. This is what happened later that night:

So the bike runs great but is super sketchy. Since then I just recently moved to Arizona from Eugene, Oregon. So the bike sat for about a month while we moved and I got the new garage back in order. Last night I started the tear down.

The plan is to build a low, clean as can be Sportster. I am planning on using Triumph front forks with fork covers, low drag bars, peanut tank, and to craft the rear of the frame from scratch. In the mean time I will be selling some of the parts off to get the build going.

On a side note - the gentleman who built the bike went by the name Toad. So there is toads everywhere on this bike and it was named the "Toadster."
