Big Twin all the way. It should just consist of larger c.i. motors and be based on looks of the whole bike. The custom class would probably be based more on anything from one off custom to big bear and other 50,000 dollar brands.

LMAO, Jim you crack me up bro! I still can't believe that Lo is in your dining room almost completely dismantled. I bet that by the time you get her back together, you will have more FLSTFB repair and replace knowledge than anyone on the forum.

Supposed to snow this weekend so I think I'll rattle can my struts.

drknlo those wheels look nasty, got any close ups of them? I'm leaning towards spokes. Is that a 21" on the front?
No close ups yet, but yea, its a 21x3.5 with a 120 avon. rear is a 18x5.5 with a 200. got the lowering kit for it, just havent had time to pull off the shocks to put it on so its still stock height.

Short of ripping the engine, trans, and wiring in the frame.. it is literally a frame with a rear fender sitting there. I was joking around the other day like "Well ****, I went this far, can anyone say 'Two-Five-Oh'!?".. but um.. yeah i ain't gots $3,400 + tax + shipping.

...anyone want to start a fund?

Default bike shows

I've entered mine in 2 shows so far, won Best in Class in one of them. Both shows had a Cruiser class (surprised yours doesn't) and that was the class I entered. Big Twin would be most appropriate for reasons previously mentioned. Essentially we still have "stock" bikes although they don't look like it.

mfmaine,

yea I was suprised of the classes they had also (or didn't have), but this show is put together by car show people since it's a bike and car show, that could be why.

That's why I posted the question, to see if it was just me lol. I have listed it in the Big Twin class, thx for your advise.

rquirch,

Good! I agree, I like how it sits better now also.

So, my bike hasn't even arrived at the dealership yet and I called them today and told them to throw on the V&H Big Radius 2-2 pipes. Impulsive, effen ay, but I guess that's why I bought a Harley in the first place, right?
