Looking good. Is that an original color or custom? Keep up the pics especially when you put it back together.

That is actually Dodge, inferno red pearl, my indy just bought his wife a car same color, but looks dull in comparisoon to my bike parts. the stripes are airbrushed on over the first clear coat, then clear over all, so no raised up bumps. Got the premium hinges for the tour pack, and ordered black and gold B&S badges for the tank and tour pack, raised chrome "Classic" for the fender. Will definately post more when she's together and looking sweet. NExt off season I hope to get head work done, so I can get her up to 100 horses or so, also getting the wheels and switch housings powder coated I hope. She'll be the nicest '87 on my block for sure!

I had Black and gold B&S badges, bought on Ebay, guy sent FXD badges, so I had to have the steeler do a search, found some for an 86-87 FLHT in Chi-town, they are on the way to me as we type.
