whats up guys
hey, im eric. im from south central pa. i have an '05 xl883. i did a few things to it- 8in z bars with internal wiring, i had to get a longer brake line so i got a ss one, i took the belt guards off and had the front fender off awhile. ill take it back off once i chop the rear fender this winter. i put a ness stage 1 with a pan head style cover. i cut and grinded off the internal breather and got an air cleaner mount and breather kit to get rid of that nasty breather crap from going back in the carb. i also relocated the choke **** to on top of the carb and got a new metal choke **** cause the plastic one busted in half like it does to everyone. im waiting on paughco drags that are coming in next week. i havnt done much cause i want to ride so im saving all that for winter. this is what i want to do - progressive reg fork springs, low shocks, every chrome piece power coated black, matte black tins, taking the front fender off again, bobbing the rear. getting 3 way rear signals, eliminating tail light like a nightster, making a sidemount, coil/ignition relo, tank lift, powder black rims/pulley/fork legs, fork boots maybe, idk what to do about a seat right now (i haul my girlfriend some days so you know what i mean). anyways, im 19, im a union pipefitter/plumber local #520. im also a welder and before i got in the union i was a small engine/equiptment/heavy equiptment/truck mechanic and welder for 2 1/2 years. im 19 but i know alot. ive been rebuilding engines since i was 10 or 11 and ive worked with metal for 7 years. i can fix just about anything. ive also ridden motorcycles for 10 or 11 years. im planning to build a real bobber down the road. i cant decide on an engine; flathead, knucklehead, panhead, or shovelhead. theyre all so cool its hard to choose
