Thumbs up Hello all...

Hello all, I am a long time lurker and reader of these boards and have gained more knowledge over the last few years than I can ever hope to repay. I figured it was about time I actually registered and made myself known. I have been building bikes for a while but only in the last few years have had HD's in the garage. My first bike was a KZ400 that a buddy of mine helped get running and then we promptly cut in half and hard-tailed. The next thing on the "chopping block" was a 80 XS650 that we goose necked and hard-tailed. About a year and a half ago I got a 09 Nightster that got some modifications and was enjoyed for a good number of miles before I sold it and bought an 08 FatBob. With the help of this forum I did the WideGlide conversion, had the tins powder coated and couldn't be happier with it. Thanks for all the help through the years and I look forward to many more.
