Default I picked up a vintage Softail to play around with today :D
Here is a link to a thread I started in the EVO section.

I picked up this 1990 FXST with 24,000 original miles today for a steal of a deal.

Real nice. That's the Harley mystique, they never grow old just get cooler looking.

Gong to go with some apes.

Le Pera bare bones seat
Custom license pale mount and cat eye tailight
lower the tail

and REALLY elbow grease it to death

I am going to record all the work on here

Thanks for the replies and kind words The turbo bike is all computerized modern cool stuff...this is shade tree mechanic stuff (stuff I can do)

The way I twist the throttle on her to get to 60....on the turbo bike, id be at about 120+

Don't get me wrong the DYNA is a real fun bike....but now I have one of each....old and new.
