Great job Batman, I wouldn't sweat the wheels - do what you can within the limits and ride. Who among us ever gets ours finished; none of course, always something to add. I suggest when you reach this "set point" that you just enjoy the ride, come back and relax with a cigar, and give thanks for the opportunity, resources, abilities, and patient wife that made this possible. Take time to relax the spring. And we all thank you for sharing "Cheapskate" with us.

1 hour down the road, surely there is something else you need to take back with you.

I have an assortment of used wind screens, a new stock air cleaner, nearly new rider floorboard inserts and 4 (yes 4) amber blinker lenses. All came off my 08 FLHTCU. Free to the project. Pm me if you want any of this and we could meet up.
