surprise!

I think you done good...I had momma lookin' over my shoulder last nite at some Dynas and Softails and she was all worked up about one for herself...then she kinda woke up and said "what the hell am I thinking, I'm ridin' Granny Clampett chair with you!" Oh well, I had her goin' for a few minutes!. Anyway, that is a good looking ride...I don't think I would change anything.

Yep. I have a photo of a 1943 ULH springer with that exact paint scheme.

Very nice...I really like the paint. Having 2 matching with that style paint would be cool IMO.

Great deal! Good looking Sporty. I really like the fender setup, but that exhaust has got to go with the blinkers. LoL Why don't you let her ride it a season, and then have her decide what color SHE wants it! You might be surprised what she comes up with. I saw a sporty kind of set up like that one, only setup like a Heritage. She had it Turquoise and Creme, and it was stunning. Enjoy.

Great find. I wouldn't change the paint, it is a stand alone.

Whoa, hold your horses Hoss. If you're really thinking of painting those tins we need to talk. Those should bolt on to a 91 sporty project I have sitting up in Bigfork and I'm in the neighborhood too !!

BTW, I didn't see the Capt'n out when I drove through Quamba on Saturday !
