Mike’s Sportster

This 2000 Sportster was given to my friend Michael Manhardt by a friend of his a couple of years ago. Mike had a catastrophic logging accident in September 2018, leaving him as a quadriplegic. While helping with cleaning up his garage I decided that I should build up the sportster and have it sold off to raise funds to help with his recovery. Biltwell Inc. generously donated some parts, I donated 100% of my labor on the build and Western Cider of Missoula has opened it’s doors for the raffle to take place. We raised early $25k on the raffle night of the bike. Work done includes a fresh top-end engine rebuild with Wiseco pistons, a valve job, fresh paint on the tins, re-wire, fresh rubber, and a host of new parts including Biltwell Inc. seat, throttle, grips, bars and taillight..
