I purchased a 1998 FLHTCI basket case back in October and my buddy and I have been working on getting it back to as close to original as possible. The previous owner had bought it to make a bar hopper out of it, got into the tear down and then sold it. Needless to say, it has been an adventure, but it's "mostly" complete now.
My previous bike of 20 years was a 2000 Yamaha Road Star that I chopped out (21" front tire, raked trees, lowered, stretched tank, drag bars, etc), but this is my first Harley. Hope to get some good tech tips and guidance while I'm here.
