I have often toyed with this same idea. I always rode triumphs and xs650s. I got a real nice deal on a used 1200 sportster. Once I had a real bike I chickened out and went more traditional. But I am trying to make it look like a 56-57 "khk" model. Your exhast would fit right in! Pauchgo exhaust? All I would need would be a muffler of some sort? How about rejetting? I have the aftermarket slip ons now so the carbs were jetted for that. Please let me know. How about a kit? Sounds like the seat would be the biggest challenge. Cool! Big Vic Brian,
