20" apes, 11" shocks, lower the front end, new tires, brakes, and fluids, new..."black label" inspired paint job. Hell, I could have it back on the road in two weeks, but I didn't start saving long enough ago!!!!! I'm photoshopping my own graphics...since no one makes em...and I'm gonna have another dude I know hand paint some JD style pinstriping. I hope it turn out cool.

my buddy is painting it...he painted my Triumph a few years ago, I'm gonna get him to let me help this time!

I told my wife that loud pipes were normal for Harley's....then she heard a stock muffler, and she's been on my ass about it ever since.

I used to start it outside...then I thought it would be quieter if I kept it in the garage...oops...it was rattling the fuckin windows at idle. The wife loves it when she's sleeping!!!!

Re: Winter tinkerin....



'bama... from what I can see of the Triumph paint, I'd say your new "ol' no.7" paint will be good!

(Uhh, you may be shocked at this, but I kinda like those flames...)

nah, that's my buddy's ironhead that I'm fixing for him in exchange for him working on one of my AK-47s. Here's the basic black on the trump...and his flamed Softail that he painted

Re: Winter tinkerin....

Hope you remember how to put it back together. Can't wait to see the pictures of it when done.

That is a sharp little ironhead in the back ground. I have had the urge to get one of them and chop it of course. A stock Sporty wasn't good for me but I thinks I could chop it to better suit my 6'4" frame.

got a WCC fender that I have to do a bit of surgery on before it'll fit right...

Got shorter covered shocks on, new tires on, apes and cables will go on during Christmas...

once I get the fender cut and smoothed, it'll be off to paint and DONE!
