Old Ironhead Rider (Scoot & Me lol)
Hello to everybody,
New to this forum. I'm in the process of a ground up rebuild of a 75 XLH. Got a lot of plans and I'm sure I'll have a hell of a lot of questions and opinions of all of you fine bikers. I've been slowly over the past couple of years of buying more and more parts at swap meets, ebay and various catalog vendors. Kinda have an idea where I want to go with this build. Scoot still runs fine but I have had to stay off it due to a back injury back in July 2005. Had a cracked vertabrae and 3 or 4 screwed up discs. Just had surgery about three weeks ago. Not supposed to pick up anything more than ten pounds. Any way back to the bike. I'm going for low and lean look. Some of the new parts I have are listed below.
New bullet headlight, 140 degree front fender, fat bob read fender and straight mount struts with LED cateye taillight and plate mount, new mustang seat, new steel triple trees,new steering head cup conversion to sealed bearings and 3 degree rake built into the cups. Complete gasket kits for everything front to back. Hallcraft wire spoke wheels, 21" front and 16" rear, new Avon Venom tyres, Progressive 13" shocks (new in the box from ebay for $50) and a whole bunch of other parts. After engine redo including unleaded head conversion it will almost be a brand new scoot. Well I'm rambling too much.... Will be on here often to ask (and answer questions if I can help). Keep the rubber side down and ride on.
Thanks, Keith
