Newbie Here
Hi HD enthusiasts. I'm in Florida and come from a long line of bike fans—Harleys, Yamahas, and Hondas (don't hate me for that last one). But Harleys have always been the bike of choice in my family. My dad had a couple of sportsters, a 1948 hardtail that he chopped and did a frame-up customization to. His last HD was a Captain America replica, which he built from the frame up. He always wanted a Fat Boy but never got one. He left this world at the young age of 54, with his wolf/German Shepherd mix dog at his side. So I'm now the keeper of Cap'n America and a Yamaha. I'm hoping some of you can help me understand what I have in the CA bike.
