Sharp. A little narration would have been nice so we knew all the details.

thanks, I wanted the bike to do the talking i guess.

its actually a 1990 fxstc so softail custom



swapped out the front end for a nicer one
swapped tank for a black one
smoothed out a front fender and painted it black


vance and hines 2 into 1
s&s super yummy carb
top end rebuild
painted the cases satin black
new brakes
new front tire
lowered a smidge. i ride with my wife a lot
stock apes from another harley
ignition upgrade
fatboy rear rim
new neck bearings and wheel bearings

Its a lot of fun to ride


next will be to repaint the back fender to match the rest of the bike. its like this wierd grape color

Real nice... and definitely prefer the narrative over the cathedral death music. Loving the front fender too.

One edit though... FXSTC means Softail Custom... not Standard.
