Looks like an old F85 Oldsmobile like my mom had in the early 60's.

I upholstered the bike about 10 years ago. I work for LaZ Boy and was making a new paint set for the bike and thought why not upholster it instead of painting it. It's marine grade vinyl and ostrich. That is an OE Sportster tank don't know what it came off of I bought it on Ebay.

It's a 1965 Olds Cutlass Holiday coupe, it's got 55000 miles on it, no rust anywhere and I have rebuilt almost the entire car.

I can see in that last pic it's a peanut tank. Couldn't make out what the drilled aluminum? accent strip on top of the tank (and now I see all over the bike, like it) and thought it was a center strip on a bigger Harley tank. Lot of work in this bike, looks good.

Who's Rog48? I haven't seen his bike.
I like riding this bike I extended there rear control arm 2" and added the 3 degree front trees, when I had my Road King I was going to park the shorter one in front in my garage but they both had the same wheel base. The bike handle very well, it's lower so much in the rear that it brought the trail right back to stock so it's not twitchy on corners like it was at first.
