subscribed to this, like to see what you will do. Bike does look good as is, but I know you will want to put your own flare on it. Cant wait to see.

Got her on the lift tonight. Had an hour to look the bike over. I'm pretty happy.
I'm still waiting on receiving my service manual so I'm not busting into the bike too much.

Put my black S&S cover from my sporty on to see how it looks. My likey.

Langwilliams definetly gonna rock the bike as rat for now. Not looking for pretty at the moment.

There is something weird with the forwards though. I'll have to shoot a picture of it tomorrow. I think the PO cut off the mounts from the frame for the floor boards. That would suck if he did. The forwards as they sit are way out there. Too long for me and I'm 6 foot.
