Its almost done. I just got the tins back from the painter, did it up just like a fatboy I did over last winter. Just have to decide on an exhaust system? Any recommendations on a system that will run good? Don't really care for drag pipes.
She has has new crank bearings, rods, 20 over bore with wisco pistons and had the heads done.Power coated frame, new rubber, seat and rims Its pretty much all original except for the paint...

Decided on a RB-Racing LSR 2-1, I have had their exhaust on 2 other bikes and it always performed well.. This bike i decided I would also like function over form. I do admit that a classic dresser dual exhaust would look nice..
