the HI Fi Blue came from a new old stock oem harley laquer quart paint can, it was un open dated January 1970 with the 1965 part number on it for the 65 bike - then we converted it to todays paint doing a spray out then a computer match

this sort of work is very expensive to do - on Saturday I was offered 55,000 dollars for the machine and had to turn him down as it was not mine to sell, and I know the guy would not have taken that for it - 300 hours went into that one to complete it - the red 1971 FLH took almost 500 hours but after 6 years its still the highest scoring AMCA AMF restored FLH in the country and NO one has ever receive 100 points for any bike
Both were beautifully done. I tried not to slobber all over the blue one. No wonder I didn't notice anybody or banner. Lol
I ran home in that storm. Branch whacked my helmet.......just was looking at it and it smashed the vents off in top....... One of the worst storms I ran into in years

Yea the rain was coming down sideways... We put all our machines in the big building. They were really cool to let us do that....

I was there Saturday. Likewise, didn't notice a banner, or much else...but I must have noticed these beauties. Red, White and Blue (and White).

Yea, we had to cut it down early due to threatening storms so I packed it in to get home before the rains.... 2 1/2 hour ride... That was Saturday morning....
