What a great story! Thank you for sharing that. I'm sorry to hear about your loss, but you've turned a horrible circumstance into a wonderful tribute to your father. I think that's freaking awesome

Fathers are such a great influence us as we grow into manhood, they are missed when their gone.

Little more done. I won't be ready to really start assembling until the end of February, so we decided to take my freshly powder coated frame off of the lift and give a few buddies a helping hand doing some mods. cams and powder coated parts on the black glide. Going to be doing cams, cam plate/pump on the orange SG in the first picture. And possibly a 95" kit on a '06 RG. For any one wondering, Those are the black ops Clarity covers, which have a textured finish. My friend wasn't happy about that so my powder guy took care of them.

Got some more done on the transmission and started polishing the fins on the motor before I paint it.
