Thanks Guys.. no I'm not finished....just finished that part :-)
Got a very small inner primary leak.. next ptoject will be that fix..I guess the bike is 14 yrs old and I am riding it much more than its previous owner so I am sure seals etc are hating me.
I think there will be a new sret of straight pipes in the future. I would like the pipe from the rear cylinder to drop low and hug the front pipe.
New floorboards and an oil pressure gauge. Wheels maybe.. but thats a lot of $$ and I kind of like the solid disc wheels.
As for Junior..he is an awesome kid, I am blessed. He loves Bikes, 80s Rock and Metal, music and drawing. And yes I'll keep him off the bike, its mine until he is 21...

Thanks for the input guys...

Good work. Are we ever really "done" with these bikes? My guess is no.

Looks Awesome!!! I too have a similar set up from Hill Country but with 14.5" apes. FYI though, my brake light switch went bad after a couple years and needed to be replaced. Got one from Ebay for 15 bucks - HD wanted 65. Just so you know to keep an eye on it after a while. Otherwise, great stuff from them.

The bars look sweet on your FB and doing it yourself is the best way to go!

Thanks...I think

I appreciate the compliment, but do not want you to see the bike in person. I just don't roll like that.

Just messin' with you. Ride safe.
