Default Set is complete

I picked this up today as a birthday present to myself - a 1980 FXB Sturgis - to go with my ‘81, ‘82, and ‘91. Had been looking all over the US trying to find one, and had some prospects hundreds of miles away but the sellers were way overpriced for what they had. A customer at my job said he had a buddy with one and was only about an hour away. Lo and behold we were able to make a deal and I am overjoyed to add it to my garage. This one has been restored (not 100% original) by the previous owner. Hasn’t ran in roughly 7 years and doesn’t have a key so a new oem ignition is needed along with fluid changes, battery, etc. and then can get to work on finishing the restoration to all original.
