The other bike in the pic is my 64 pan. Sold it last year and bought a 89 softail. Shoulda kept the pan!!!!
Thanks The motor was built by Mad City motors the cases were the only thing saved of the motor from the fire. The restI did my self other then the paint, a buddy of mine shot it, cost me materials and a case of beer.The motor has been bored , cam , intake, then I did some head work on it my self. AndI know what you mean when I got the Springer Classic there was no way I could get rid of the 87.
ORIGINAL: Sandhog

Im thinkingofgoing over my 84 FXRS this winter.It is looking a little tired next to the new wide glide and cant get rid of an old friend that easily.
