If I ever get the funds and can find one I like I want a 56 FLH, same year I was born,, here's an original paint 56. I'd like to find one the the fancy riding belts from that era that folks used back then with the nice leather and bead work too!

If you are a PAN sorta guy (or gal), look what popped up today.
What a 'spectacular' job he did.
Click on the pics link, and he has a couple of vids of it in 'action'.
CLASS, jus' pure 'class', IMFUO
It do need a little carb adjustment, as it does not want to idle like a pan should, but GREAT all the same. Price is good, but a bit high, IMHO, given the prices of others. But then, a year ago, it would have been closer to 20, possibly more.

Heck, here's the pics page link.

N JOY, even if you're not in a buyin' mood.
Hey Gump, I wish I had the extra scratch to be able to afford this, but unfortunately I do not, but if someone here did have is this close to you, would you be able to check it out for someone that wanted it?

Maybe a li'l over an hour, on the chop.
If I looked long enough, I know I have some pics of it, from a show we were at, couple years back.
That absolutely would NOT be a problem. In fact, I'd do it jus' for a smile.
And I do know how to crate, and would be willing to help work with a shipping co., if someone so desired.
COURSE, You do understand, I WILL HAVE TO RIDE IT HOME, in order to crate it.

Here's another one, this is 'my' year, John. I went and looked at this one earlier this summer. Other than the apes, it's all there, too.

S&S pan replica?
Not that there's anyhing wrong with that ( reliability), but I would have used a more period air cleaner cover.

Love those old Harleys
