Third that. Not thrilled with all the time I have into redoing my softail, but now that it has been completely disassembled down to EVERY nut and bolt outside the trans case and engine core I know the bike well and know that every bolt, wire and part is installed properly. And that is a very good thing. This bike surprised me..looked like hell. But there were very little PO screw ups compared to most bike projects I have done. None of the expected crossthreading or vise gripped fastener heads that usually come standard on a used bike.
