Default 1996 FLHT rebuilt/painted

Hello - new guy here. Just wanted to share a few pics of my 96 FLHT that I just rebuilt. Did all of the fab and paint work.

Cheers,

Joe

Nice job! Maybe someday I will get around to doing a project like this with a cheap abused bike.

Welcome to the Forum!
Looks great and a good feeling when you dust of your hands at the end of the day and think "I did that".
Keep up the good work and post in from time to time.

I sold my 1996 Standard Glide when I bought the 09 UC. I still regret selling it. It was trouble free, cool running, EZ to work on and P&A were relatively cheap.

Don't regret getting the 09, just hated selling what could have been a blank canvas like yours.

Thanks guys!

I'm REALLY happy with the way the paint turned out. The color pretty much looks like bright red when not in the sun...then as soon as the sun hits it - BOOM - it is this really great red/orange/copper metallic. I'm planning on doing some ghost flames this winter. I'm also really happy with the way the clear coat laid out. I used MS Probase which has a really nice gloss after buffing!

Now, onto some motor work....
