Hmmmm......... 

Travis is the only person here to see the bike in person so far.

Maybe more pictures are in order.

And I'd be content with a ratio on the order of 1 picture for every 1,000 words written or maybe 1 picture for every 10 posts. That would still net all of us a significant amount of pics to drool over.

Assignment accepted.   Needed a good reason to get away from the desk today.

Nuts.  No pics today after all.  Got on the bike about 3:00 and the next thing I knew it was almost dark and the tank was empty.  Will definitely try again on some other gorgeous riding afternoon like it was this afternoon.

If Don were capable of multi-tasking instead of being so single purpose minded, we might get some pictures that covered both

Well...... when the man is right he's right.  Couldn't get any pictures of the Road King out and about today no matter how glorious the weather was.  It wasn't the Road King's turn.  The Road Glide the the red bike both got half a tank's use today.  So it's already the Road King's turn again. 

Can't not let the red bike have it's turn though.  That bike gets very cranky when it feels disrespected .

Absolutely

The Big Man requested a few more pictures a couple days.  There have also been a few questions on some of the details that I never got around to answering or illustrating.  So, needing almost no excuse to post-whore pics of this bike, here we go.

Had it out this afternoon and ended up at a spot I like to stage photos from.  Not sure how many there are.  More than five and less than umpty hundred and 12.  Here goes:


This image ain't too bad.

Had been asked if the sprocket matched the wheels.  Some.  But not completely.

Wheels are 100 spoke American Wire.  Found actual wire spoked sprocket.  But it cost nearly the GDP of Costa Rica and Belize combined.  So found this spoke-ish sprocket that looked good too.  Saving the cost of a Latin American countrie's GDP meant more powder coating could be done.

Yes, it is Brembos on the front.  Don't remember the name of the rotor set now but found one that offered 11.5" and 11.8" rotors within the same series that was also a sort-of-spoked look.  So could match the rotors with the 11.8" on the front and 11.5" on the rear for use with the Brembos up front.

No great detail here.  Just another image I liked.  The Springer 95th Anniversary windshield bag "fits" the bike well.  A later project will be to bring the saddle in to the same theme and look.

Still remember seeing one of these the first time back in the fall of 2002.  The paint and the dash got me.  Not a big fan of the forward mounted tach that was stock on these.  So have the V-Wing handlebar cover instead.  But love that dash .

Bugs on the windshield.  I take pics.  Rarely stage for them . 

It's got more than 800 miles on it now.  Damn thing should have some bugs!
