Motorcycle Riders?

[BigRed]

If it works for you buy it!!!

With the 110 in it, it will be a fun motorcycle to ride. Myself I'm just not a Softail fan at all, its way to soft and mushy when its pushed in the curves to keep me enthralled. I truly believe when Willy shifted the FX line from a swing-arm to the Softail, it was a huge mistake for HD.
And with the Polair'halorious, even the Softail will be a massive exhaust sound upgrade.

The stock exhaust on both suck. Same for the Triumph Bonneville

That's a nice Triumph from 66

For me, it needs a bit longer set of pipes, a small front disk brake and a much larger brake light. And a assortment of Zener Diodes.
I do like it.

It's a good looking bike...not in my budget.

That panhead you found is going to be an excellent project bike.

As a kid I owned a 70? Tiger 650, its electrics had a mind of their own.
Lights on and lights off at its own will.

I've been looking at parts a lot lately. It might very well end up as a bobber.
I bought it well, but its not ever going to be a factory 53.
My older one has expressed interest in it, he already understands a jockey shift. I suggested to him that we get it running and see what we really have before we make any changes in it.
Once its running and cleaned up the price jumps ten? more grand.
If its a leaker and a burner its gonna cost 5 to 10 to get a well known to rebuild it. Then a few more grand if the tranny is worn out.
We will climb it to it soon enough.

There truly is something wrong when one can ride a motorcycle and while looking in the rear view mirror, read the tag number on the car behind them.
Buy American Damn'it...

Someone has loads of time with tuning that Shovel. I've never seen a kicker, start cold like that and idle so slow that fast.
