My frame got here. Kraftech and no it's not going to be purple. I've never had a softail before so I am going to build one. Mostly black and chrome with maroon and black tanks and probably a ness fairing. The only parts I need yet are hardware for some small things, neck cups, and a flatside tank mounting kit

 

Your in Florida, there is no such thing as Winter!

 

Well after october haha

 

Got a small amount of work done today. Got my swingarm all set up and ready to mount. This weekend I need to weld on the oil filter mount and check fender fitment. Anybody know what size bolts are used for the fender to struts?

 

Please don't rush us into winter!!

 

Please rush!!! We still have another month of sweltering heat here, I'm ready for riding season

 

It can't be any hotter there than it is here.

I ride all summer.

What is this thing "riding season" ???

 

Riding season is the 3 months just prior to the 3 months of hell, at least here in PA. I hope to extend my riding season with the addition of the ultra classic, might be able to ride in colder weather with the fairings. Winter sucks!

 

it's a different kind of heat,........mixed with tropical storms. After biketoberfest it starts to cool off. That's when I like to do my changes early november

 

mine are 5/16-18 iirc. i use the stainless steel allen head bolts though because i like to get a skinny tool under the old gal's skirts when i gots to. I also changed out the torx screws in the handlebar assemblies to allen heads as well. one less tool to carry.
