I went for an old school look but with new technology with my 09. Much cooler than the Lo.
Good mix of chrome and black. Plain tank, solo bag, 1/2 mood floor boards, solo seat, power coated the rims, front end and bars. Relocated the horn and coil and yanked the center post to clean up the left side some. People ask what year it is so I think I did ok?

old school, I purchased a hardtail widetire frame
put all pre 99 softail parts on it . I'm not sure if my pic posted yet or if I did it right. currently have a heritage front fender with a 21" wheel on it, and am in the process of building a heritage strutless to fit a 200 rear tire, not in pics yet. looks and rides awesome. At 52 yrs young old school to me is Hardtail Baby!!!!. I built this bike 7 yrs ago, when this style was cool. I love the bike so much that instead of building a new bike, with some tin changes I think this will once again be within the new cool desciption, although I still get lots of compliments on the old styling. will include new pic's in a few weeks when my rear fender is done and installed.
