Thanks! Here is a before pic. Close to 100K on it at the time. I swapped tins last summer. Rolled over 110K last week. I bought it used in 2008 with 5,877 miles on it.



And a pic from Epic Journey 2014, the road worn look in Birch Bay, WA. lol.

To answer the OP's question - "... wondering where have all the springers gone?"

Here are the Heritage Springers:

Springers are a prized part of my collection. A 97 Heritage in white and red. A 99 FXSTS in light blue and a black 08 X Bones. They are all low mile pristine bikes. They will never be sold/traded while I'm still here.


Can't find the X Bones pic.

My 01 with 21K on the clock. A little more polishing than I care for but that is the price of owning a Springer.
