Mac's Harley Sportster - A Closer Look
Bruce and Mac take a look at Mac's 1994 Harley-Davidson Sportster. Mac's goal is to have a clean, narrow, Frisco style lane splitter. This bike needs to carve those corners in the mountains for Mac to get the enjoyment he seeks out of his bike. This is a very different kid of cornering and manoeuvring than one would experience on a sport motorcycle. The riding position is completely different with an aft leaning position rather than forward leaning, aerodynamic rider position of a sport bike. The chopper won't have the performance of a sport bike. The experience will be slower, the throttle response far less aggressive. The cornering experience will be somewhat like that of a long board as opposed to a short board for tricks, the long board carves but not as tightly or quickly as the short board. Then there's the idea of using a foot clutch, shifting with your left hand with a lever under your left butt cheek which is most certainly completely foreign to any sport bike enthusiast.
Mac's bike is a wonderful example of a work in progress. This motorcycle is a classic functional, inspired, unfinished project which brings great joy, pride and satisfaction to the owner/builder. A project like this one brings a broader experience than just buying a factory cruiser.
