Default Evoing Again

Well I've been without an EVO a little more than a year and a half. Looks like thing just fell in place again. Just fell into a deal I couldn't refuse, SO Tuesday I'll be the owner of a 1989 FLHTCU. She's in need of a lot of TLC, but between some time and parts I have around the shop, she should be back on the road when it warms up. All is right in the world again.

Here are the shots my son sent when it rolled in. She's rough, but after sitting a couple of years, put a battery boost and she fired up. I'll start getting into the cleaning and troubleshooting of small stuff after I get her to my shop.
I know all the ancient audio crap will be terminated PRONTO and I have no intentions of replacing any of it.

I'd put a seat on it first thing, but then that's just me.

Good call Doc. It's there, but I do have to correct a hanging button.

Haven't even checked. She fires and runs smooth per my son. I haven't touched her yet. (mess on the pads under the bike was from the carb and cleaner he shot in it)

The youngest works at the local dealership, was in parts now he's in service. When someone brings in a bike that the dealer has no interest in they will put a value on it and ask employees if anyone is interested. If nobody responds they won't take it in. So occasionally he calls and ask if I'm interested, this is #2 that I just couldn't pass on - running or not. Not going to put the price here, but I know you would have done the same.
