Holy crap! Vern's going to town on this bike this like gangbusters! The drivetrain is completely installed. He was able to utilize the stock oil tank and battery box. He has to setup a spot for the new Accel coil though. The stock mounting location won't work. No biggie. I just ordered the PM Contour Hand and Foot Controls, PM 6 piston differential bore front and 4 piston rear calipers, Russell Floating rotors, new 51 tooth rear sprocket and chain, all new SS lines and cables, new Lucas style Tailight/licence plate bracket, and new HID headlight assembly! This bike might be completed within the next 2 weeks now! :o :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3: :2vrolijk_21:

Hoist! 8)


HID too?  This really going to be a cruiser that will be out much at night?  Especially with the Road King already in the garage?

FXWG is lookin a little different to when I last saw her parked up in a NY street awaiting restitution Howie! She sure looks like she is going to be a lot of fun. Good luck with the rest of the build.

Don't get too excited Jeff. My '85 came with an Evo. The '84 frame came with a shovel and an Evo won't fit in it without raising the backbone. Just wanted to make sure you know the difference between the earlier 4-speed swingarm frames, and '85/'86 4-speed swingarm frames. ;)

Thanks guys! Nige, hopefully we won't have to do an emergency street repair to it again for quite some time. And if I do, Andy won't be able to steal parts off his Softail anymore for me! :nixweiss:

And don't forget the shovels Marc! You'd have said that if ya had one of them too! ;)
