Latest build by myself and my friend Steve.

2007 HD Sportster crossed with a KTM 620 Duke.

The custom exhaust is really cool. Which parts are from a KTM?

Are those actual inverted forks or are they fork covers of some kind. You should put together a build sheet to go with the pictures!

Ya, I love how you left the welds alone on the exhaust - very cool!

Great bike, I would love to hear more about the build!

At the risk of boring people to death!

The USD forks are made by Whitepower and came from the KTM although the tubes were re-anodized and high rate springs fitted. The wheels (Excel) and brakes (Brembo) also came from the KTM.

Trees, headlight bezel, exhaust, footrest mounts/linkages and seat were custom made. Custom airbrushed paint job. Chain conversion.

Switches are all momentary with electronic control for H/L beam.

Swing arm modified to brace it and take a KTM style eccentric adjuster, tank (from a HMC 125) modified with new tunnel and FI flange.

Ohlins rear shocks. Brembo master cylinders and levers. Quick action race throttle.....The list goes on.

All in all we saved 60Kg (132 lbs) against the weight of the standard sportster and made it handle and stop really well.

I like the switches too.

Wow, I didn't even pick up that the Harley Davidson logo on the side covers was airbrushed - I thought it was real the first time I saw it.
