Thanks, appreciate it. I'm in a small town. So the few that have seen it and have a clue just smile and start asking questions. Hope to hit some poker runs or something this weekend and see if anyone notices.

if it was me i would tell all the look a likes ( Twinkie dudes ) you work for harley Research and development and this is the new motor look coming out 2016 - its 127 inches and 150 HP and gets 45 miles to a gallon

that should get the local dealer the needed flak when he knows nothing about it

Haha, that's funny. I'm the worst liar in the world. No way I could keep a straight face

Beutiful work! I don't think I could turn around and sell if it were mine? Either way it will make someone a nice ride.

This seems to be the reverse. I want to put a shovel into a 98 fxdl.

What tank did you use and what modifications did you have to do. I have an 81 flt, and am having tank issues. Would like to replace with road king tank.
