Even in that color - that's a nice, tidy bike. At the shop we put a RT fairing on one that was a hot mess. Took me 3 days to sort out all the wiring color changes and issues. There's a build thread in the FXR section. I'll enjoy watching the transformation, ain't nuttin' like a hot rod Evo.

Yes, that is a very .... interesting color and choice of graphic on the tank. Looks to be in great shape and that's what matters most!

Nice score. Being a Harley rider as we are...at least you have the Pirate outfit to match the paint.

I like the color. I never would have painted the graphic on, but it’s distinctive, and I wouldn’t change it.

Congrats on the new bike!

I'm pretty weak in the Latin department, so I had to ask Mr. Google...

He tells me that "Vincere vel mori" means "Victory or death".

I like it!

Ok,
Got some extra time this weekend so I got a chance to put the bike up on the dyno at the shop. It put down 90 hp and 93 tq with a fairly decent looking curve. Good enough that i dont have to go into it, i can must enjoy riding it. I have an old V&H pro pipe ive had for years laying around. I might put that on it and run it, but its nice to not have to go into the engine.

Exactly what I'm saying. How do you own something and not even know WTF it is? I see this too often.
