Have been working all week on my 'Ol Springer. Got it out of 'moth *****'! It hasn't run or been ridden since '98!!
Got the urge to hear a 'dual fire' roar again.
An oil change, a new battery, a carb rebuild and some fresh gas and it fired right up!
Went for a short ride just to make sure everything was working as it should. Was great to hear that pop...pop...pop again!!
I had forgotten how nimble it is...compared to our 'bagger'!!

 

We need pictures! I assume that's it in your avatar?

 

.......LOL....

 

That's it! Ol' #163, first year for the 'new' Springer!! Bought it new in late '87.
Sorry, no more pix...don't have a digital camera or a cell phone w/a camera.
I'll be going to Maryland next month, maybe I can get my Granddaughter to take some pix and show me how to post them.

 

pic would be nice!

 

Nice... so every thing works? no dry any thing?

 

A ridding buddy took some pix of it.
Check out my album...can't figure out how to post to link!

Greetings,

A sharp bike! I've always been a fan of the Softail Springers. Hard to beat one with 16" apes on it though!

 

Thanks for the pix and the kind words. Still can't figure out how to do it though! LOL!!
She's been a good ol' cruiser. Pretty much stock inside.
Wanted to keep the Anniversary Paint scheme for posterity.
Bought a set of decals with it...JIC I ever wanted to change the paint.
