...On another happy note I installed new cocktail shakers mufflers on my Cross Bones last night, and OMG are they ever loud with a very deep tone - I love it...
Those mufflers look really nice!! Have you made any progress on the Sportster lately? I haven't been around here in a while, been too busy chasing parts and restoring my old '69 Honda back close to stock. Here's how it looks now...
I had a nice outing this past Saturday on my XLX. Breakfast with the local vintage motorcycle club, and then a fun ride with some of the guys, taking back roads to a nearby town for an open house at a new dealership. Other than the temps being about 100 degrees, it was fun...

Both Bikes look Great man!!! Nice to keep the old iron on the road.
Well life got real busy again and I still have not been able to get the timing set or get the gas tank installed - thats all thats left to do, but I just had to take her out and see how she sits off the lift in the sunlight and here are a few pics of her as she looks now.

OK friends, (that is if anyone will ever see this), almost three years after my last post about life getting in the way while i was making other plans, i finally have something new about the bike to share. Three years ago my wife and i moved from our home in Nova Scotia, to Charlottetown PEI, where we went through the process of buying a new house and renovating it from stem to stern. Well after that kept me busy for a while, I recently had time to get back to my bike building fun.
Yes I finally got the timing set, installed the gas tank and set up the fuel lines. And........................I got the mother started!!!!!! Whooohooo :-)
I am attaching the start up video, something that I said I would do a LONG time ago somewhere in this thread.As you can hear by the way she started I need a new battery, but once she started she ran like a champ:-)
So here we go .
Good to see you got it running - that's a cool machine! Yeah, I'm still around, still riding my XLX. I've been slowly returning it closer to its stock look (but with a few mods).
Took me a couple of days to get this in a format to share but here is the first start video - the battery crapped out immediately after this start (it sounds pretty sick and Im surprised it turned the engine over).
