Default Nice...'cept....

for that gas tank. XL's shouldn't have fatbobs. Someone might mistake it for a Shovelhead and you wouldn't what that. :-)

Choppers don't have front fenders either. Man you gots to learn the rules.

Just busting your chops.

I know you'll enjoy it and finish the '74.

It's a 74, but it's got a lot of afro engineering to make certain other things, notably the rear disc brake, fit. I'm attempting to rig the forward controls by myself.

Looks like the hardtail has the aftermarket spin-on oil filter kit...(The L/H front motor mount)..

Are the controls giving ya any probs yet? looks like the shifter is still in the middle,right side.Gonna switch them around? bring them forward? lots safer that way(forward) so You don't have to change foot positions.And how does she ride and sound?
