Hey everyone. I picked up this off my dad who had it sitting in his garage for close to 15 years. I've been riding for close to 15 years but this is my first hd so I'm definitely going to look to you all for advice as I do my best to bring this bike to the magnificent glory that she deserves. From what I've been told all that needs done is the prep work for paint and powder coat, a front brake added, and a carb and she should be ready for the streets. I'm sure it won't be that simple but I can dream.

Here's one more. I need to knock the dust off this weekend and I'll snap some more. Sitting for nearly 15 years doesn't make for a very presentable bike.
