Default long time no see

It's been a while since I've posted here. Thought I'd stop in to say hello to those of you left that may remember me.

Everything got crazy when I changed things up in my shop but it's finally turning out the way I want them to be so I can take it easy here & there.

Remember my XLN? I put it back together because I got tired of not riding it!



but I did finish the springer and will install it soon





my 91 xlh



my 76 xlch



my wife's xlc (we only work on this one when she's here to supervise or participate)





and this bastard that has been in my way from pretty much day one. Started out as a drop seat build that I never really could finish because I wasn't that in to it





that turned in to a very long trike



but is now finally something I'm liking every bit of

86 4 speed evo motor, aluminum 18" ironhead rear wheel w/ mechanical drum, 21" Excel front wheel (tires will be changed), 39mm narrow glide with +2 tubes...



renecking the frame



and some tall riserless bars I made Tuesday night (I refuse to call them ape hangers)







...and that's about it with these bikes. The rest are pretty much the same with a few more miles.

Thanks for looking!

Great to have you back on board! You've been an inspiration to many of us, and will continue to be. And if I ever get back to IN, I still owe you that beer.

Looks like fun as always! Busy in the shop is good, glad to see you still got good stuff going on. I notice there was no mention of the CB450, which isn't surprising on an HD forum, though I'm still curious. On a side note, I found a way to improve the appearance of a Ford: Park it between two Chevrolets.
