Also the pics are like 1411 x 937. Could help to resize them to 1024 x 768.
Great pics by the way. Really interested in what you do with it.

A story of how this happens
My '09 Street Bob is in WAY better shape, but I did let mine go for a couple of years. I got a high-paying job straight out of college and bought a Harley (because obviously), but then took some risks and decided on a career change. In 2008, right before the financial meltdown.
There were a couple of really "lean" years in a row that saw me selling everything of value that I owned - except the bike. Living in Michigan in a county with 24% unemployment there were a couple times where I was sleeping outdoors for small stretches of time. I did not properly store the Harley for a couple of winters.
Fast-forward to 2014 and I'm halfway done with making up for all of that neglect! The biggest thing was that the rear fin rusted out beyond repair and I just replaced her this last season. Now all I have are little things, like rust on the bolts for the intake, some bubbled paint on the front fin, and the "Reserved for Redheads" patch coming off of the passenger seat.
