Great springer - I love those. If I could see my bike the whole time I was at work, I probably wouldn't get much done either!

I can relate
I have to walk by mine in the garage ever morning to work with near 0 temps and snow right now. I can feel it asking me "when is it my turn???"

Clearly he's been in his office for 10 hrs a day looking out at his bike! Nice view though, heck of a lot better than walking past my hibernating bobstah on the way out to shovel out from yet another snow storm!

what kind of ront end is that
i love it and i want it
21"wheel?
let me know the deatils please
thanks

It's a factory front end from a 1996 Bad Boy. There are some details in a thread here in the Dyna section called something like "Happy Birthday Bob". You should be able to findit in a search. Let me know if you can't find it and I'll scrounge up the link. That 21" definitely makes it all work. I appreciate the compliment (and the others here), I still find myself staring at it before getting on it, while gassing up, when I park it, etc. Of course, I did the exact same thing before putting on the springer. These are just great looking bikes.

BTW, I voted for your ride for BOTY. It was hard to do considering you're a Gator and all, but that is one fine machine.

I appreciate it! The BOTY started off for me just like the BOTM did. . . SLOW. I was the last to get a single vote in the BOTM, and when I first checked the BOTY voting I think I had 3 votes and the leaders had something like 21 and 23. But it picked up a bit. My bike is getting more votes than I thought it would to be honest, so I'm already really happy. The Dynas did alright this year and it's nice to have some in the running.

The second half of '07 was rough for me. I'm glad it is over. Major job/career/financial changes but it looks like things have settled down. I literally was about to put the stock front end back on the bike and sell it. It looked like I had no choice. Fortunately, things have improvedand I was able to keep her (at least for now). I also had a 3-4 month stretch where my front tire was just unsafe for riding and I couldn't afford to replace it. During that time, it was more frustrating than enjoyable to even think about motorcycles since I couldn't ride so I wasn't on here much.

That photo really represents anything BUT torture. It represents a job and the fact that I got to keep my bike!
