- Adding a Hard Tail to it. The new frame will drop the bike by 3" and add 4" to overall length. This will also require the bike to have a raked front end to level it out.
- Changing the tank to add to the custom look, more of an oval tank, Also putting in a visual gas gauge.
- Change out the rims, 19" in the front and a little wider tire in the back, both on whitewall old school tires.
- Changing out the Oil tank to a full custom built tank.
- New paint......or maybe no paint, I like the new rusted out look so might go that route. Rusted out with some nice old school pin striping might also be an option.
- Rearrange the exhaust....I am going to look at some different designs, maybe some super short straight down, or the exact opposite, supper long that shoot way up in the back. If I go that way then I need a large sissy bar in the back.
- The bike will be totally unrecognizable as an AMF HD 81' 1000 sportster when its done.

81 Project Update
It has been a long while since I posted, primarily because it is taking a long time to do the next mod. Here are the things being done. BTW this is a complete garage build, I am an amateur so not really concerned if someone can do it better.
