Default Picked up my new to me 71 FLH.

Here’s a couple pics for you who like them. She needs some TLC, but it’s numbers matching. He has the saddle bag guards that he will mail me in a few days, and it has a matching paint fairing that was never installed. I know this isn’t original paint, but I’m a sucker for purple. He was the third owner, the original
owner apparently added these after market wheels when he took delivery of the bike. Not sure what kind of wheels they are, I’ll look st them further once she’s home. I’ll post a couple pictures that the PO sent me.

Most certainly Invaders... But May be copies... inspect all of the welds at the rim... because they are Chrome plated, cracks are easily identified...
Nice Wheels that surely "date" the Build..

Im
pretty sure the guy told me that’s what they are. He pointed the wheels out specifically, I didn’t know anything about them. There is a sticker on the rim too. I’ll try to find it when I get home, and take a photo of it. The story is. The original
owner ordered it, but didn’t want the original wheels, these were installed at the dealership, before he took possession. I don’t know when these were produced, so, can be if no help. You guys have heard of them before, and that’s cool.
