Mounting the bagger air shocks I just got off of ebay and putting Progressive springs in the tubes. Probably put some Avon Custom Contour Chrome grips on too.

Well I started & finished mine kinda early, but I had my heads ported & polished and went with bigger cams. I was out on Friday getting in some miles before the snow came and can't wait until spring! This thing is nasty!

rounder i also forgot the motor work!!!
doing cams, heads, bore, pushrods... the whole deal. we will see on taking it down to the frame. prob not this winter. maybe next. sometimes i just have to stop and be happy with what i got on it, my bob has been through about 4 makeovers... i want to do this as the final one. we will see, knowing me i will end up wiht the frame in the oven! All depends on what we need to do on the motor. Chad is helping me with that, THANK GOD, cause i would be lost! this will be his 3rd or 4th motor build!
have just about all the parts I need, (cams, push rods, pistons) just need to send my heads away in Jan and get some jugs...
