2001 FXDXT (Diamond Ice)

This bike takes me back to the first T-sport I owned. It was an 02 Diamond Ice I bought for $5k... It was buck naked. No fairing, no bags, no air cleaner cover and it had some janky old shocks that were actually mounted upside down. It was my first Harley and I really had no idea what I liked yet... I just wanted a Dyna because it's what the guys at my local tattoo shop rode and I always looked up to them. I loaded it up with MX pegs, a grandpa backrest, a crashbar, and some shorty leavers... It was all over the place.

After I sold that bike I got the fever and instantly wanted another T-sport. That's when I started learning all about why these bikes are so unique.

I wanted to build this one as a throwback to my first DXT -- blacked out, less chrome, and no clapped out aftermarket junk.

  • GRANDPA CALLED...

    Despite the grandpa vibe this bike was giving off, it was all there. The fairing, the shocks, the football, some clean 13-spokes and an OG unmolested front end.

  • THE DETAILS

    It didn't take long to start tearing into it. The first thing I always do is ditch the OEM lighting and swap in LEDs with tinted glass. Instantly looks cleaner.

  • STARTING TO LOOK OG

    Bars, Thunderheader, Saddlemen, OEM bags, chin spoiler... I like to keep the stock look, so you won't see powder on the 2-tone 13-spoke mags, or the fork lowers.

  • SIMPLE, CLEAN, GANGSTER

    T-sports came from the factory with some of the best performance parts Harley had ever produced. The suspension was fully adjustable, front/rear. I always keep the OG suspension on my DXT builds. I think the stance looks tough.

  • THE 'OEM PLUS' LOOK

    The formula:

    OEM goodies: fairing, bags, shocks, 13-spoke mags, paint + factory accessory options: mini passenger floorboards, Dyna chin spoiler + OG aftermarket parts: Thunderheader, seat, bars, LED lighting all around.
