1976 HD FXE Superglide. I repainted it using the original OEM decals, but I cut out the AMF part of the decal before applying them. It was originally brown, and it one of a very few I've seen in that color.

Racepres, same as you fella,
I'm proud as they saved the MoCo & without them (despite some quality problems) they wouldn't be here now,....
my 78 Shovel is still going strong & I actually get pissed with the punk assed hipsters today who use AMF decals on their twinkies to 'Look Cool' on one hand,& then slate AMF on the other...
