Thanks HB103. I have a friend that does nothing but flame jobs. We cal him Freddie the Flame! I've got your neck of the woods in my sights. I'm dying to get out there. Every time I get out west, I never seem to get north of the Columbia. Soon though! Maybe on my Alaskan trip in a few years. Have a great Holiday! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]  Hoist!  8-)

Thanks for the holiday greeting Hoist.  If (when) you get up this way, let us know and we'll give you the grand tour.

Hoistiferous,

Hoist, I really like your WG.  Everything you've done looks "right" as they say, and even though I feel like I've seen so many flame jobs that they don't even hit me any more, yours has a subtle, yet evident quality to it.  Not overblown and gaudy--just classic.

I have to admit, though, I'm really spoiled by the "start" button on my handlebars.  I still wake up screaming about trying to kick start my old Triumph after it had sat in the rain and gotten water in the carbs.  But by golly, my hat's off to those who still ratchet that lever to the appropriate spot, plant their foot, spring up off the other leg, lock their right knee and come down.  A couple of those cycles was once part of the Harley sound to me.

All this "stock" talk, though.  You need to meet Otis and Silver-Black.  Then all of you can go drive Hubbard crazy....again.  That Hubbard--he's a big fan of "stock" bikes.

....I had promised pics of my 4-speed, so here are a few. It's an '85 FXWG, 80" Evo (with shovelhead flywheels in early '85)....Ive had this for 15 years...The Warranty is expired! I call this my "Real Bike". It's a rare bike as modern HD's go, as it's a 4-speed kicker with an Evo. I'll have this bike forever! Hope you like it. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] Hoist!

[Hoist!]

Great looking machine, Hoist! This post has stirred some brain cells that haven

[djkak]

...They also had problems with the barrel studs back then. I think the original owner had them replaced under Warranty back then.....[smiley=drink.gif] Hoist!

It's an '85 FXWG, 80" Evo (with shovelhead flywheels in early '85) with hand ported and polished heads, Wiseco 10.5:1's, Sifton cam, Jims lifters, Lockhart oil cooler, Dyna S ignition and SE coil. Trans. gearset from '84 Softail w/less than 1K mi on it (guy wanted a 5 speed like his buddies in '85). Original rear belt drive was replaced with chain drive.

Rear 16" wheel from '87 FXLR w/ Conti and front wheel is HD Thunderstar cast 21" w/ Avon Roadrunner and some other cool chit. Ive had this for 15 years and had it completeley rewired, new tanks and repainted last year. The Warranty is expired!

That's another nice looking scooter you have in your stable. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] With these two hot rods next to your "stock maintaining my 2 year warranty SERK

I like the flames and I like the what you did to the cylinders. Makes it look more like a shovel. The first time you see an all aluminum engine it's a bit of a let down from all the vintage motors in black and chrome.
