Default 86fxwg

Sorry glidein wide, here's a couple of pics I have on hand right now - one of my original ones taken back in 1987 and one I took the other day after having my new solid wheel fitted (finally got another original).

Default Fornale Shocks

The shocks are Fornales. They were on it when I bought it in '87, and I have had them rebuilt once.

I thought they looked familiar! I bought a new set for my Glide and used them for many years. They didn't prove so satisfactory for long trips 2-up, hence my current Ohlins.

Nope, no turn signals - I actually bought it without them so I never bothered putting any on.
I love the factory flame, but I need to get it redone because the last time it was painted they stuffed it up. That will be my next project when finances permit.
