Some of those look pretty good, a couple I'm baffled by. But nice jobs on all really. Can't wait to do mine.

Hey Guys

Need to buy new tires for me; 1985 Electra Glide Classic.
Having a problem locating DUNLOP; Front is; MT90B16-71H ~ Rear; is: MT90B16-74H

Harley is TOO OVER-PRICED.
Guys the tires DON'T HAVE TO BE: DUNLOP as long as they're WIDE WHITE WALLS.

Any and all web site for pricing will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Guys
GOD BESS

Try Motorcycle Superstore

I've been running the Shinko 777, great grip/ride/handling but the rears seem to wear rather quickly. But at $72-77 ea for WWW, and free shipping...hey. I'm gonna try running the pressure up like the Metzler's seem to need and see if that helps.

I'm kinda partial to this one.

I'm confused.
While these are great paint jobs,(especially the last one) are these examples of Hi-Fi blue? They look turquoise to me. Most examples I see for that matter.
When I went to the HD museum last year the "Wall of tanks" showed Hi-Fi blue to be like the attached. The colorwrite shows it to look like this as well.

Just out of curiosity, whats the proper way to get large images in my post on the site?

Thanks

The riders club (see that patch to the right of my name?) lets members post larger pictures on this forum...but you don't always need to belong to post larger ones. I upload all my bike pictures on photobucket and select the appropriate size for this forum. All you need to do at photobucket is copy the 'share' link, hit the 'insert images' on the tool bar (top of this box) and paste the link. It took some trial and error before I got it right.
