Looks like a journey to the DARK SIDE LUKE! Curious, is that a Fat Boy fender on the front there?
Correct on both. Basically it's a 2000 FLHRCI with an '06 swingarm, Sta-Bo3 bushings, MU85B16" rear & 130B18" front Street Glide wheels, Progressive mono-tube fork conversion, Progressive touring link, Progressive 440's out back, Hooker drag pipes. Nacelle, fork covers, and lower legs painted black. I've had this old scooter since it was less than a year old and it's gone through many different incarnations.

1. Do you have any trouble getting the stand under you bike ?
2. How much did it $$$ you ?
3. How much does it lift; my H-D is close to 700lbs.
Thanks guy
I think my lift is a Black Max rated for 1000 lbs but I've had full dressers with a rider on it. I got it about 10 yrs ago for $175 or so I think it was. The only trouble I have is I have to make sure it is absolutely collapsed before I slide it under or it will hit the frame is on the kickstand. The jack stands are just there to stabilize the frame with the wheels off while it's on the lift.
Yeah I gota get one of those. Got my H-D on the back patio; just leaning back on its stand while I'm working or try to install the dual front end brake pads.
Thank for you input guy.

Oh yeah that makes a world of difference working on one, having it up off the ground. Just be sure to get one with enough lift to remove the rear wheel. One day I'll have a lift table with the rear trap door. Surely enough of those $75,000 choppers are getting mothballed to where some could be had on the cheap.
Whiskers:
I got it bad for your tail fins. I have an '07 classic and with the eagle touring mufflers. My current billet end caps fit between the casing and the internal muffler. I went to the dealer and they had the "new version" of tails like yours. Dealer was clueless as to weather or not they would work. Looked at the parts and didn't feel comfortable with a purchase without more research. I saw the black internal looking part and the tail chrome piece. Do you know if the "new version" will work with eagle touring mufflers from '07? I wanted to take the time at the dealer to go through the instructions and the entire box, but there was a long line. Thanks for any info, Who?Me?

Man, I wish I had the right answer for you but I don't. Mine are from way back in 2002...a friend of mine at the local dealer has the newer version pipes and tips and they (the tip end) looks a little bit bigger (at the taller end)..I think they actually look better than mine. I'm pretty sure the parts manager ought to be able to tell you if they'll fit...at least locally they won't charge me for them if they don't.
