Congrats on the great new bike. As I read your topic name, it drew me back to my first HD. In high school (1971) I found a basket case 1951 HD, suicide shift of course. Stipped this down and restored it the best a 16 old kid could do and loved this bike. Unfortunatly, sold it for 300 bucks to buy a Jap bike. Often wonder where it is today. Enjoy your nice bike.
