My "direction" changed several times from when I started. My final persuasion came when a guy on a 48 pulled up next to me at a light. Bikes were IDENTICAL! Thats when I decided mine would look like no other 48 out there.

 

Thanks for the good reply's.
I'm not looking to copy I'm just trying to figure out what I like.

Turns out I like ape hangers... foggy signals/lights... and some powder coating....

 

holy cow, where do I start on my mods! Way too many to list. Quick list is wire tuck, handle bars, lots of brass, pipes, headlight, rear LED blinkers, tires, seat, pegs, and the list goes on and on! About $7,000 worth! So many things you can do to make it "your own"! Build it to your liking and enjoy! Have fun modding it out!

 

The rarest Harley is 20 years old and 100% stock.

 

Actually Winkleman, it is 33 years old and bone stock. Kicks start only and starts on the first kick. 13,000 miles, one of only 141 made in 1979.

 

Nice looking bike man. What kind of air cleaner is that?

 

Thanks, It's a Roland Sands Design Speed 5 that I powder coated the filter screen brass and made the brass spacers and mounts.

 

Forward controls - just put mine on tonight. With some MASSIVE help from a friend.

 

A word of advice, if going with forward controls get them from the factory or someplace reputable. Mine came with Ebay specials and they suck. Also, I have vintage style tires (Firestone Deluxe Champion) on the bike and they track like crazy on the freeway rain grooves. They look cool though, lol.

 

That's a sweet bike rjm! I caught the fever and my bike hasn't been stock since it sat pretty in the showroom! Keep riding that sweet sporty!
