Did the front end with new forks, EBay Road King headlight, saddlebags and windshield, Craigs list front fender, Dakota Digital speedo (where the fork lock used to be,) and a few assorted odds and ends. I used the existing wiring harness.

With my $2000 buy back I've got about $4500 in this one (but it sure as hell doesn't look as good as your ride!) On the up side, she's reliable as can be and just passed 160,000 total miles.)
Niiiiiiice! I love a good build on a budget! wow 160K Miles!! Thats exactly why I tell a lot of my friends HD's will run forever!

Thanks for sharing!
