Default '48 __photoshoot_&_build thread__

Been lurking on this site for a little bit soaking up all the info I can and just recently bought me a '12 Big Blue Pearl 48. This is my first Harley and ever since I seen the 48 model I knew I HAD to have one.

My good friend Nate is a very talented photographer and he always snaps pics of the cars I build so naturally, we had to get together to shoot this beast. He found an awesome spot and, well, here's the results...
