  • Meet Devin C Millett from Eden Prairie, Minnesota. He shared with us the journey of building his 1997 XLH 1200 custom Hardtail Sportster chopper. He took it from stock purple-and-chrome to a striking one-off machine. Devin talks us through the meticulous process - stripping it down, sandblasting, chopping the frame, and installing the Throttle Addiction Deluxe Sportster hardtail kit. The result? A sleek black-coated frame adorned with carefully assembled parts, beautifully balanced between show style and custom chopper craftsmanship. Hear his review of the Throttle Addiction deluxe Sportster hardtail kit and check out his chopper build.

    Memories! I partially built my first chopper in my bedroom. That was in the 1960s. That is one bruisin' EVO Sportster! You ran a front brake (always a good idea). The forks are the right length. The stance is groovy. The flex piped and upswept headers, along with the slash-cut cigar shorty mufflers on the exhaust system is right and tight. The paint is boss! I love the riser/bar combo! Thanks Devin C. Millett and Throttle Addiction! Ride safe! Oh yeah, tell 'em The Eazy Company sent'cha!

    I built a 57 xl ironhead in the living room over fifty years ago! You got my vote fella,love it! But the bike I'm sitting on is a 49 panhead built after the Sportster, exactly 50 years ago

    Very cool guy, cool build. 👊 I may or may not go 6 over on my 1200 mild chop build... but I like those risers a lot.

    Harley-Davidson needs to reintroduce the EVO Sportster -- Air/oil cooled, 1500 ccs, counterbalanced (?) and a six-speed gearbox. Yeah, I'm dreaming.

    I became bored and stopped watching the moment he used "boomer" as a derogative.
