First time Harley owner, but not the first time wrenching on projects. Just a few weeks ago I stumbled upon a softail deal I could not pass up (the wife didn't agree with me, but I did it anyway)
Perfect timing as PNW winter is almost here and I will have plenty of time to get this hog ready for summer. It had a bent front end so this allowed me to build it as I see it fit.
I am still deciding, but I am leaning towards a springer front end, might put in a couple of degrees of rake into the neck 3* at most. I am hoping for a 21-23 inch front wheel (still deciding) so I want a little separation between the tire and the frame, plus a slight rake makes these sleds look bad ***!
This is what she looks like now, more or less, been taking all sorts of **** off just to get acquainted with her

Dude! You can't start a thread like this without photos!
What year/model ? We want to see the patient before the surgery!
Oops. The photo wasn't showing up the first time I looked.
Good luck with the project.

Aha...first step > the tear down. Bro, if you manage to grab pics your entire mod, I'm going to be impressed. I never had that patience. Looking forward to your posts this winter.
