It's a carbed 02. I needed to start with a carbed bike so that I could change the gas tank.

If it's got the foam insert, keep and eye on it and change it out regularly or you'll be sucking parts of it into the motor.

You guys take Softails to the next level. It really looks like a hardtail, and you have done it right. Just remove everything it doesn't need to run. Very nice work. Of course, you had a nice piece of canvas to start with.

A black velocity stack would be right at home on that bike. Nice ride! Really well done. Just like everyone else said, an open primary would be sick on there. But I think at this point I would just ride the hell out of it. Primary when it gets cold out.
