Default My Dad's Bike is Done!

This past weekend I completed the last mod I wanted to do to my Heritage: wide whitewall tires! Took her for a spin.

I've mentioned a few times and it's been in my signature. I inherited the Heritage from my Dad when he passed a few years ago. The bike was down for four years due to a fuel injection problem. I tried to fix it, but that went nowhere. So last year, I converted it to carb. That's documented on a thread I made.

I've changed a few things on it, going for a '50's FL style. Not to toot my own horn, but I get compliments on it pretty much every time I take it out. I just hope my Dad likes the way his bike turned out. The first photo is how it was before when he had it.

She looks beautiful, but for some reason both of those fenders look crooked?

Very nice looking bike. I'm sure he would be proud of what you have done to the bike.

Might be the camera angle? I had it on the lift putting the new tires on and they looked okay to me as I was working on it.
