hi. new to the site; told about it by a friend. i run an 82 shovel, 15" apes, lowered in the rear, lil tiny solo seat. bought her as a basketcase years ago so basically she's been butchered and bastardized. i do all my own work except putting the engine back together, or if a problem pops up i can't figure out. i'll have her for life. had an 82 sturgis, too, but one had to go and the lowrider is sorta like my wife, in for the long haul, while the sturgis was like the other woman. i live in nova scotia canada and love shovelheads, and bikes in general.
