Default new with a 1972

howdy all. I'm a tattoo artist in Denver, Co & new here on the forums. this isn't my first scoot, but the 1972 shovel flh I bought this last year is my first kick-only, so there's a lot of new in here for me to learn. not to mention, it's been almost a decade since I owned an american bike... I'm sure I'll have a truck-load of questions as I make this old girl mine.
