Oh man, those are a couple of fine looking Softails. I can't wait to wear out my black walls.

I've just noticed that the brake dust seems to accumulate more on the rims in the rear than the front for some reason although like you I rarely use the rear. I suppose when I get WW's I'll be cleaning my tires and wheels more.

What exactly is involved in a bike lift Griz. It sounds like something I would get a lot of use out of but is it large? Heavy? Portable? I have limited space available.

I like white. I'm not getting 18" wheels because they don't make 18" wide white walls. that's how much I like white.
Wrong...I have an 18" WW on my Ultra

True, they even make 'em in 19".

BTW, beautiful ride you have there.

Ps: Sorry! WW all the way, they look very cool in the photoshop.

"El Guapo" (see my avatar for picture) means "The handsome", it is a character from the movie "Three Amigos" with Steve Martin, Martin Short and Chevy Chase, very funny movie .

Take care Marsh,

Mimo.

Probably the best motorcycle lifts are carried by Sears and they're not that expensive or take much room in the garage...check them out. You can clean your WW's without one but having one makes it so much easier. They're pretty handy to have for most anything else you work on your bike.

so many sweet lookin bikes. i can't quote all of u and tell u seperately that u and u and u have a nice ride,so i'll say all of u have some smokin rides. i love all the pics. and thanks for the compliments on my ride guys.as soon as i get them on i will post some pics.
i do have a bike lift,but ever since i lowered the rear i haven't been able to slide it under the bike. so i'll prolly have to get someone to lift on the bike while i slide it under.but i do have one.no biggy.
