Default Getting There

Got the frame back from welding, Mocked up the 70 XLCH oil and battery box, Polished all the old parts I couldn't afford to replace, still have to drill the 12" apes for internal wiring. Should have a rolling chassis Tuesday. Still have some motor detailing and assembly to do. This is going to be bad ***, Black and Chrome with anodized accents,,,I will post video on youtube and pics here in progression. Pics will start posting Wednesday, as I should have rolling chassis up by then,. And it will be a one kick bad -*** screaming in your ear, 69 Modified XLCH.

Ride hard, Ride Free, Easy Rider, Don't call me

Killer man! Can't wait to see some progress pics. I'm quite a fan of the 900 sporties.
