Default New from IN

Morning all.. New to the HD world, had metric crusers prior. After a stint of not riding, I got back into it and picked up a basket case '98 FXR. I'm in the process of putting it back together, and doing some mods.

I'm adding a FXRWG tank, for starters, 8" rise drag bars and doing the internal wiring myself (PAIN!), and adding some other shine here and there, and a screamin' Eagle ignition. Over the winter, I'll put on the WG rims and do the WG tripple-tree modification. Also powder coating the primary cover since it's tore down.

Looking forward to spring....
