Sold my Ironhead chopper and picked up a 1985 FLHTC from a young man of 76 who owned it since 1988. He put 106,000 miles on it, but had it rebuilt at 70K via the Harley factory rebuild plan. From Az he road the bike to Alaska, and in 2013 he road to Milwaukee for Harley's anniversary. He told me the only reason he was selling was the bike was getting a little heavy for him, so he got himself a Heritage Softail. I hope I'm still able to ride when I get up there. Here's a pic of what it looked like the day I got it, and another pic after I've done a few things. Going to change the bars next...maybe some 12" apes. Thanks for looking

 

Looks good, I like removing the front rotor covers, always thought they were too much foofoo. What seat is that?

 

I took the old seat apart cut about half the foam off and put new vinyl on it. Mom used to do upholstery, she did most of the work.

 

Bike looks fantastic, love that front end.

 

Now there's another great look'in bike.
Hellva job on that seat.
