Damn joe looks like your giving that bad boy a make over. Keep us posted on the progress and if your using the pro one internal stop make sure u use the shorter slot or the tree will hit the tank. I learned the hard way

Like back in Oct. 09 and the motor in my Sportster blew. I felt like crap even on cold rainy snowy days, cause my bike was broke.

Jan 10 I bought a Heritage. Even on the bad days, I knew she was there in the garage, ready to go!

The weather here in Arizona has been beautiful with the exception of yesterday 50degrees windy and raining and guess what I finished it and couldnt ride... But its all done and man she sounds purdy... has that lope in it on idle and seems that 4th and 5th gear go on for ever I put in the SE 204... I also blacked out some parts and finished the install of my new fronte end.. This front end is awesome not only does it look effn bad *** but it is smoth on the road it seems the whole bike is smoother over bumpy roads... It sit 3inches from the ground very low and very scary with the kickstand... here are a few pics..

Mike, thanks I still like chrome just want to balance it out..lol

The install was very, easy tear down about an hour and install about another 2.5 hours.. Very straight forward the most time consuming was the pushrods..
