Dad’s Bike
« on: February 16, 2021, 11:45:44 PM »

Hi my name is Steve, and I’m a new Harley addict lol


My Dad was a Rockstar, literally...he passed from terminal cancer recently and I bought his bike from him after he got too weak to ride it so it would stay in the family. It’s kind of a family heirloom that was part of his identity.

I honestly thought it wouldn’t be my thing, abs just end up a pretty thing under a cover in my garage that I pull out when my brothers come over abs we want to remember Dad.

But it turns out that I fell madly in love with the bike and riding it...I have a Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet with 1100 whp that was my go to toy, now I find myself getting on the bike more than the Porsche.

I Chromed all but a few of the missing chrome section on the engine and tranny...got saddle bags and Corbin seat for it though I kept the seat the same alligator skin style that my Dad had on there.

He had the lighting kit on it already.

It’s 2013 CVO Breakout with a 110 ci motor with a Stage 2 Screaming Eagle kit and is begging for a bit more power.

Below are some pics of the bike and my Dad.
