Thanks! To be honest, it's never been fired up since I bought in late '08. I'm just now getting it all finished. Hopefully once I have a couple hundred miles in it and everything is in good order and all sorted out, it's up for sale. I have a couple projects coming up and the wife said that no money from our retirement or loans for any project that I might want to do. So this is the most obvious choice, finish and sell it. I still have my '76 FLH Shovelhead as back up cash in the bank, so to speak... smile Never know when another project might come along.

Thanks too Steve. There are sooo many one off little bits on this bike it's a bit scary to think about. But I will say it's turning out quite nicely. I've painted it twice now. The first time it was too blue and didn't look period enough. So I went back the next day and had a lighter slightly grey'ish paint mixed and that's what you see here. The camera does not really show the true color, but when you compare first and second color together, there's tons of difference.

Here's the two, first color on the right and final color on the left. The left is what all of the above pictures are painted. You can tell from this side by side there's a LOT of difference, in a good way.
