Hell if i do all the math its will make my wife mad. JK By the time I sell some of the parts that im taking off, I will have about 600 in it. Paint? maybe 500. That should be HIGH though. Than a radio. So I gues anywhere from 1000-1500 total. Rough estimate. Once I get everything done I will let it be known.

The seat is a Corbin Hollywood solo in tan ostrich. The passenger pillion is the same but is made for Corbins other solo seat. I had to do some fab work to it in order to make it work with the Hollywood. I do plan to keep it but I happen to have 2 of the hollywood solo seats. (If anyone is intetrested pm me). I only need one.

Just go on and say it. Im probably a dumbass. Thats what my painter keeps saying anyway. I cant help myself. I still really like the bike but am also ready for a change. That and the fact that the wife said if I sold it I better get big money out of it for what I have invested. So I guess it stays and we'll invest some more . I wont EVER be able to sell it now.

Sorry it took me so long to get back with you but I've been out of town. Tell me more about the hollywood solos you have for sale; what colors and what price? I have one on my FXD and love it.
