Some fresh pictures as the winter modifications are complete and the season starts up. This winter we:

Re-chromed the front end, old chrome was all pitted and peeling
Added a kick starter, HD cover and outside parts, Baker gears on the inside
Changed out front highway bar to the correct 1" diameter and added highway pegs
Found and installed correct jiffy stand

First the forks almost kicked my *** leaking, got through that. Then I cheaped out on the gears, had to do the kicker twice, second time with Baker/JIMS parts, much better. Then the 50 year old wiring decided to be a real PITA in multiple locations. Patience was tried but we persevered, thanks to all that encouraged or offered advice. I am calling this one done for now, nothing else on the horizon that I want to change, just some smalls as I find them (anyone got a nice set of OEM mirrors). For now we are just going to ride and enjoy this one, Pics from yesterday afternoon:

I always wanted one of those, but now they are too pricey... Yours looks great, what's the story behind it?
