broke three spokes on the rear wheel, and didn't want to repair it or buy another spoke wheel since I'm still trying for a 230 rear, so I got a fatboy rear wheel to get back on the road 'til I'm really able to start the conversion.
also took the front fender off 'til I can get a rear back on. I thought it looked lopsided with the big classic front and nothing on the back. I talked to a few people and found out I didn't have to take the spacers out of the fender. that I could just get spacers to take up the lenth of the axle without it. that works for me 'cause I mean to put the fender back (or at least some form of it) eventually.
I actually like the no fender look, but it's not the final plan, plus no front is even worse than no rear. the front tire seems to find water on a completely dry street to spit at me.
got it back on the road though, even if it's very much a fair weather bike for now.

Not that much to tell really.
My location says England (where I am from) but I spend the majority of my time in Houston which is where I work.
I had an Electra Glide over in the UK but rarely rode it as I was hardly there so I sold that and got the Springer in Houston.
It's a 2003 Anniversary model with a carb, Hooker exhaust and 40k on the clock.
Eventually, I will export it back to the UK and it will match the F150 I have there.
