Thought I would post an update of my project. the engine is currently off getting rebuilt by Harley, the waiting game is going good so far since I have plenty of work to keep me busy!!!! I installed black 17 inch ape hangers, and painted the tins with "Hot Rod Black" by SEM, it's a flat black with a little sheen to it! I think it's going to be a sweet bike when finished. Let me see if I can get these pics to work.


How she looked when I brought her home


Here she is stripped down

as always opinions are welcome, but it's my bike and it's freaken sweet.

can't wait till Monday and Tuesday = my weekend.

 

Wow man that's awesome

 

Looking good, I love flat black.

 

Sweaaat, Thats a lot work.

 

Quite the project you got going on. I like the flat black. Bettcha can't wait till you get her on the road.

 

Thats looks great, and you got the satisfaction you did it yourself. Look forward to seeing it come together

 

Thanks guys! Yea its a lot of work but I enjoy it so it doesn't seem like work! the satisfaction of doing it my self is gonna feel great! Can't wait to get the power between my legs again. Its gonna be my daily driver, driving my truck everyday is cutting into my budget.

 

Looking good man, what kind of turn around are you getting on the motor rebuild? Keep the photos coming...

 

They told me three weeks before I get it back. But I actually couldn't go through the moco. In going through my local dealership. They have their own machine shop right there and looked over most the performance parts that supposedly were installed right before I baught it. I took the motor apart my self because I was going to just fix the counterbalance and put it back together. But with a lot of help from this forum I realized I was in over my head. So the local dealer said my S&S gear drive Cams look brand new so I get to keep those. If I went through the moco reman program everything would be put back to stock specs. I still get the warranty and I get to put the motor back in my self. its been one week already,two weeks left. I still need to paint the lower forks! And clean the frame up and get new shocks! I'll be sure to take plenty more pics!

 

that is gonna be sweet
