Just bought me an FLHRIC. I already got the root beer paint, I used it to paint the trim ring on my air cleaner.

Well, I 'almost' completed it back at the end of Dec. 2012, but ran into a pending divorce/financial wall, packed it back in the box put it away before angry wife (at the time) did....
things have cooled off since, no divorce, atty's fees, lost house, dog, ***, etc. etc. etc., did some recon and all is good now as time does heal, some'times'.

Sooooo... here it sits, I'm goin' in again and gonna GIT R' DONE !!!

took these pics today - 12/27/14

That's next, never even open it yet, going to go stock with it, should go much smoother because it' basically same molds, and parts except for the bars & hard bags.
