very nice bike.

Did you have the center seem smoothed so you don't have to cover it?

fldeuce, my hat's off to you. That is one sick looking ride. Nice job

I love the look of that Heartland kit on the Deuce. That would be my first choice for a second bike. Very nice indeed.

Every dam thing I own so don't remind me/us dam-it.
I said I was only going to slam my bike and paint it matte black. Whatever.....
Now, I've been house hunting and I can only imagine what that will turn into once I start to renovate. Just call me broke *** soon.... Oh yeah your post. Go for it! Everything you see and want.

You just don't have the extra cash laying around to will let you go nuts.


PS; great looking tins, just wish I had seen them first, and had the spare change laying around to have grabbed them.
No, not my first Harley. It's my 2nd....My first was an '03 Sporty. Bought it new in '02, and rode it for 4 yrs. Saw this one in Dec '06, and knew I had to have it. Traded in the Sporty on the '07 FXST, and haven't stopped customizing since.

No, I have never started a small project and go over board on it... LOL

I went from this (which I told the OL "just what I want!")



Ended up with this (which I am still not done with )



I say go for it all while you have it tore down!
