The post is up. Somehow it's registering as being posted yesterday, so you'll have to go back to Page 1 for it.

All photos on Page 1 of this thread. Enjoy!

Awesome story and a great looking bike! Bravo!

There's an in-line fuse on the power feed to the radio inside the fairing. Getting to it is no fun, but I'd bet replacing it will sort out your radio.

What a great story. Beautiful bike that you will enjoy for years to come. And the relationship with your grandfather adds a special vibe every time you get on.
I presume you put on new tires.
Many years ago I bought a 1992 FLH that had sat in a barn in Texas for some time. Much of the chrome had light rust. A little WD-40 and 1000 grit sandpaper cleaned it up pretty well. Same goes for the aluminum....followed by a polish with semi-chrome.
Ride safe and enjoy. You have a unique situation that we all appreciate.

Great looking bike and great story. So what did the dealer have to do to get it going and make it roadworthy? What are we talking about besides new tires and a battery?
