Welcome Double from another rookie on these boards. Great pix of you and "godfather Arlen" Here is a picture we took at the 2004 River Run with Arlen and Indian Larry a couple months before Larry died.

It was at Bikes Blues an BBQ in Fayetteville, AR. last fall. The Discovery Biker Buildoff between Cory Ness and Voodoo Choppers had the ride in to BB&BBQ for the judging. Cory won by the way.

Thanks for the info, I missed that buildoff. Sounds like it would have been a good one.

Good lookin' SG...I think you're the first one to post pics of that model on the forum.

Looks great...what's the first planned mod?

I removed the nasty reflectors and installed smoke turn signal lenses before the engine cooled down from my trip home. Next are Pipes and a Security System, beyond that I don't really know. I've been checkin' out the parts mags and sites and nothing is really jumping out at me. That damn ugly shift linkage is on the short list too.
