Nice too bad you have to take those pipes off

 

I'm going to keep it totally standard..resisting the urge to change anything. Your Sturgis is damn fine....love it

 

Outstanding , so many times did you chew your finger nails off waiting for it to get there ?

 

Yeah a little worried for a while. ..paying $$ for a bike unseen to a complete stranger. But all good ..very happy

 

A fast tip, the bracket holding that oil cooler on needs to a bit more substantial those thin stamped sheet metal ones like I see there break quick and drop the cooler at the most inconvenient times and I don't see anything to keep it from getting sucked under bike when it does. At the minimum get a couple wire ties on the hoses to the frame to help hold it up in place till you can deal with it properly.

 

Yeah, I looked at that and thought wow.....I'll fabricate a decent bracket before I ride it. Cheers for the heads up.

 

You are so going to enjoy that bike , take care of it and she'll take care of you that's the big secret to being a happy shovel owner.

 

Cheers brother...my last 84 Shovel was an awesome bike....only broke a valve guide once but still got me home and easy fix. It sounds like nothing else !
