Not new to riding or working on bikes but am new to Harley, sort of.

I'm building an Ultima Softail with an 80" S.E. engine.

Mixing a lot of years and parts together so I need some help. I'am headed to the tech section.

Let's see if I finally figured how to upload a photo.
I've got 4 projects going but the softail has precedence.

I've got a couple of Honda 500 thumpers that are getting HD 750 xr flatracker bodyworks and setup for cafe racers and a 1926 Scott Flying Squirrel TT Replica for those of you that have any idea what it is.

First ride was in 61 on a Motobi. Can't even remember all the iron I've rode or owned.
