For those of you who would love to own an older bike, they are a labor of love. I'll emphasize the "labor" part. This old girl spent 6 months on my lift last summer.
I love the look of old school but the comforts and new technology of newer bikes. I would love to turn my Slim into a more old school look. For now she sits without much changed from original. Just can't seem to pick a direction to take her.
Always liked old school. Any thing I do to my bikes is with old school flavor. Here's my wide glide. My next mod will be a set of Flanders H3 "Original Ape Wide" bars. My Heritage will get the treatment to look like the old FL's of the fifties.
hardtail derakes with a jockey shift has always been my bikes over the years. as i've gotten older my bikes have got easier to ride and easier on my back. trike now, because of an accident. things change, that's for sure.
Yep, old school for me too. Had a 57 pan that I built in the late 70's, featured in Feb 81' issue of EasyRiders. Sold it because the rigid just got to be to much. Wish I hadn't sold my 62' Pan (swingarm) that was all original.
Now days I'm spoiled by softails, but still make my bikes look like yesteryear.
Tikiman, you have a good looking springer brother. The shotguns look great. I also like that two tone paint. All these bike pics have been some awesome looking bikes. Definitely some old school class still around.
