How can you have a ride like that and only "lurk" for 2 months? Awesome paint! Was that a custom job you had done, or was it a "tins exchange" program through the MoCo?

Thanks dude.... The original owner had Harley do everything you see done to the bike from the factory. I believe it is the Radical (?) paint set numbered 51 of 200 (95709-04BLA / Page 720 of the 2004 book). Originally the bike was black with a pinstripe I am told. In any case it only had 1400 original miles on it when I picked it up a little over a month ago.

She looks good. Are you planning on any mods or keeping her the way she is? Either way you can't go wrong lol.

Well, you know how it is... a few things :-)
VH Big Radius 2/2 and a lepera silhouette should be here this week. Probably apes of some sort but I am still undecided.
