DOH! sorry about no pic earlier.
Plane Jane- mostly right out of the box. Desperately want to put the passing light/bar and a windshield on it. Beyond that just some fine-tuning kinds of things for now until the mod bug bites hard enough.
Pic was taken by my wife (who does not yet realize how much she will like riding!) I have a bunch of shorter trips (100-300 m) planned for the near future, but my ultimate goal is to walk out of the sea water at the Jersey Shore and and walk into the Pacific surf later the same summer.

Congrats on getting the bike, next step is to make modifications to make it yours, and say good by to a pile of cash.

Congrats on the Springer Softail - sweet ride! I'd say, after 30-yr wait, well deserved. Enjoy & ride safe!

Hey did you read my story. I had a black kHz 440 as well could not afford to have two cars after first married and then couldn't afford to. Keep it when the kids came. I too have kicked all the kids out and bought my dream last memorial day totally right there with you. Great isn't it.
