Was the bike in Florida or somewhere else with salt air?

Great job.

Thank you!

It was in Binghamton, NY - and you could tell which side was exposed to the elements and which side faced "some" protection.

Everything on the right side of the bike was pretty bad... left side was better.

Thank you. Labor of love for sure. I really have a soft spot for this one. Been hunting for a bike with these tins or the tins alone for over a year....

I have his sister too...




Pick up day...



After my mods...

Christo - Nice job bringing it back to life! I had a great time hanging out with you guys on the Epic Journey, too!

Here are recent pics of mine with the tin changes:

Before - and I still really like the red/black!

We enjoyed your stay! Thank you for the compliment on my Springer restoration efforts!I’m torn on your bike - I love both versions! Maybe you should find a Springer beater that needs tins but mechanically is perfect so you could enjoy both versions!

That thought has crossed my mind. Having the tank done in red/black like the blue/black and keeping the stock scheme on the fenders.
