1972 1000cc Ironhead

Scratch that, my uncle just got ahold of me and said he found the manual in his shop, should have that by the weekend! Woo! Editing this cause I have no idea how to delete threads.

Glad your uncle found that manual you definately need it before doing any mechanical repairs.
What are your plans for your 72? Is it all original?

The motor itself is all original, my uncle went through it to ensure everything was in good working order so luckily I won't have to do much except rebuild the carb (or ask him for the one he has that was pulled off a running ironhead of the same size last month).

Frame wise it is a Paughco (sp?) rigid frame that has been cut and raked, not sure of the rake now as neither my uncle or I had measured it but with the stock front end on it instead of the springer that was originally on it the bike is extremely low slung.

I got pics going up on my build in the custom section but ultimately I will be putting it together as is right now, only major changes I will be doing is a custom paint job on the frame, tank and tins and still deciding between a set of 12" apes or drag bars with a little pull back in risers with a few inch rise and pull back as well.
