Hi everyone hope your all doing well !
here's a image I found on fb ,this was taken at "Shovel fest" never heard of this meeting before but looks like fun !

A very original FXDG Twin Belt Wide Glide,  looks like it might have had some work done the heads are bare aluminum & it is missing the braided steel oil lines , but a really nice example !
