Default thought you touring folks would like to see whats left of mt 86 flh

rode my 86 ultra classic for many years and many upgrades. While still almost new I did a stroker kit and was left with a entire evo motor with 1200 miles on it minus the cases and a few minor parts sitting in the garage. well things happen and I had to sell my FL about ten years ago. after a few years of not riding, and seeing the box with my original motor sitting around I finally had to do another bike. Because of a low budget I bought a stretched hardtail frame and started putting pieces on it. The second thumbnail is the first completed bike for registration and the first pic is where Its going (I think you'll get the picture). Currently building a 09 fl hidden strut rear fender to cover the 200 x 18 avon, which I hope will be on her in a week or so, if the weather allows me to paint. I may not be riding my dresser anylonger but her soul and mine will see many more miles together.

well i finally finished fitting everything, time to tear her down for paint. added V & H fishtails true duals made to look like stock, road king saddlebags with hidden flhx mounts customized length for tight fit to frame and bag, leather dash insert to cover hole at bottom of stretched tanks, inferno dash, ness big sucker stage II on its way. some fresh paint and she's into final assembly.

thanks cedarman, its finally coming along, looks like crap in pics cause i sprayed her good with wd40 and then stirred up alot of dust making it all fit to my liking. another day to finalize all thats done and I can finally put the fresh paint to her. the weather here warmed enough that some folks were riding and well its getting to me.
