Turned out better than I ever thought it would! Runs like a scalded ape now- since I took over 125 pounds of crap off it! I really hope some of you have the opportunity to do a project like this. You learn a TON about how your bike works by tearing it all apart.

Impressive restoration - Thanks for sharing

 

Nice work. Looks good.

 

Just compared the pictures from before you started to the finished project. I'd have to look at serial numbers to tell it was the same bike. Nice job! It's impressive that you did it yourself for about $2K on Ebay. You can spend that at the dealer and not notice anything new.
Congrats!

 

Transformation looks pretty sick. Good Job.

 

awesome work.

 

Great transformation, I wish I had the patients to work on a project that long.

FYI:
This is a great story but you need it all in one thread. All your transformation threads are gonna get separated pretty quickly.

Stage 1

Stage 2

Stage 3

Stage 4

 

Nice,

I like the wrapped pipe look.

I guess I missed the before pics. What did you take off to save 125 lbs?

 

when you say stage four are you talking about the harley upgrade cams pistond big bore heads roller rocklers lifters and perfect fit pushrods. I am running a stage four packjage in my bike . i hardley ever hear any one mention stage four.
