Default Finally done!!!!
Here is the newest member of my family, A rebuilt, restored, from the ground up, 1977 Ironhead sportster. My first ever Harley, Built it my self, from a basket case that sat in a field and a barn. The tank is a Tru-Blue with a lighter shaded ghost flames, fenders are the same with out the flames, Arlen Ness 16" apes, Grips, and pegs, Original solo seat refinished, Original Kiehin Carb Rebuilt, rebuilt Heads, valves and cylinders, Hand control wiring thruogh the handel bars. I am very proud of my accomplishment and I wanted to share it with you here. Thanks to all that answerd my questions, This fourm was a big help... Here she is three weeks into the mock build, and then the grand finaly..... Please tell me what you Think.....

My hand got cought between the frame and engine and when The engine was pushed it snaped my fingers, Ouch, and caused the fingers to break, And a week or so later, Now this is really stupid, I sliced my hand with a box cutter, opening a box of parts. [:@]
I was a little excited[sm=wootwoot.gif]
