Default Turned a wreck into a nice ride DIY
Did a lot of work but in the end all worth it. Kingpin I did earlier. Learned a lot on this forum. Great helping people.

Nice...

I see you have that purple bottle of "Super Clean" on your shelf.
Keep that stuff away from your bike man.
Few years back I sprayed some of that on my cold Ultra Classic and it literally turned every piece of shiny aluminum to white/gray (all the bolts etc) and removed the paint from the heads in all of about 30 seconds. I'm not kidding you... in 30 seconds it caused 2000 bucks of damage.

Just throw it away right now...
