First Harley -- Heritage Winter Mods
Picked up a 01 heritage a few months back for my first Harley. As with anything of mine, the first thing I did was take it apart. Figured I will start a slow build thread to get some comments and help along the way.
The day I got it, showing my dad.
First step was trying to get rid of all the flames and some lights and what not. So the following weekend we tore in to her.
Took off the factory blinkers and rewired the tombstone for blinkers and tail.
Brought us to this:
Then it got tore down again:

Slapped some apes, new air cleaner, badlander seat, and fresh white walls on her:
A few coats of plasti-dip and she is back together:
Got rid of the fatboy fender and slammed a touring fender down on the 16" front.

That brings us up to speed to today. Now for the fun part.
Pop the 3/4" bearings out of the old wheels.
Then pull the 25mm out of these wheels and replace them with the 3/4" bearings.
Front wheel done, but back isn't going to be so easy!

Front fender doesn't fit anymore. Now I have to decide if I should go through the trouble of raising this one up and saving some cash, or do what I really want to do and buy a klockwerks.

Do what you REALLY want to do or save until you can. If you don't put your money where it will make you most happy it will always bother you until you go ahead and do what you wanted to do in the 1st place. With this bike I now have I save and do it and use what I want to do and use. If that means waiting because I have to build some cash up then so be it. How many miles on the bike Dude? Is the motor stock? What did you do to slam your bike down? It looks like a nice sled and the wide white walls always adds a touch of class, IMHO.
