Default Lucy! I'm home!

So, the Springer Softail is home in the garage. Being larger than a motor, of course it took a larger container.


Corbin seat, Thunderheader, spot lamps, Z bars, 8" risers, solid Softail Custom black rear wheel, tires, Lyndall Z brake pads, bullet turn signals, "Keep on truckin'" timer cover, push button solenoid cover, forward controls, grips, sissy bar, 25 year old saddlebags, head and base gaskets, cigarette lighter, and a LOT of deep cleaning.

........ and no, I am not afraid of my wife.

I still remember the moment when I first saw a pic of one of those. Late 1980's, I was thumbing through the magazine rack at Lindy's market in Green Bay, and (IIRC) Cycle World had a cover story where the headline was something like "Can Milwaukee be serious?"

Thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen.

Would have loved one back then, but NFW as a young guy just starting out.

Absolutely beautiful bike. Gorgeous!

Oh my. Sell the tourpak and extra parts..... it becomes a $6000 bike. But not cheap enough to flip.

Already have six bikes, garage only holds five, one under cover outside.

Congrats, everyone should have a springer at sometime in their life. Grease the head bearings really well, they like to eat them up. Tie a rope around the bottom one so the grease is forced to come out the top...They ride really well...
