Default newguy from IL
Hello, just joined the forums, I am 31yrs old, live in central IL, and work for a contract railroad company, been readin' post here for a while learned alot of tricks to help build my bike up and keep her runnin' good. I currently own a '72 ironhead 1000cc with elect and kick start. over the last couple months I have turned her from nearly stock to a custom swingarm bobber(wanted to keep that old frame stock). this is my 3rd ironhead, all right side shift bikes. I have enjoyed reading and learning from posts on this site and am happy to now be a member.
