Thanks for the info on the shop too, I have some work I wanted done on my Jeep and my Quad and did not know a shop to go to.
Thanks for the compliments, everyone.

Happy to help on the shop info. He does lots of custom work on cars.

Okay Mr. modifier, now you HAVE to do the springer front end, you know you want to. If you don't it will always be there in the back of your mind, a gnawing, nagging little stab, every minute of every day, for the rest of your life.

Good idea Dixie.

Tell you what OBP , if you send me your saddlebags and air cleaner , I'll
take some pictures and e-mail them to you.

You know , just to make sure that's the look you want , did I mention
that I really like those saddlebags.

Thanks, Dix, but I already get that "gnawing, nagging little stab" every day elsewhere on this forum. I don't think I could take any more gnawing, nagging little stabs.

Okay, the saddlebags and the Roland Sands air cleaner assembly are boxed up and ready to go. Just need a good mailing address. Can't wait to get the pictures!!

That Springer is just magnificent!

I appreciate the complements , I was completely content with my
bike like it is , haven't done anything to it in a couple of years , but
then " someone " had to post some pics of a really nice , classic looking , set
of bags.

I now have the Osprey address on my favorites list.
