Spyder,

No, it is a mix of water and glycol. The tubes are ran up and down the lenght of the floor about 10" apart. The boiler is in the basement (also heats my basement floor the same way) pumps flow it round and round.

My fear has always been if the floor ever cracks and moves , tubes would break , big mess!

the floor was done 6" thick, and the hot water is in zones, with 5 valves for each zone , so if their was a problem I would shut off "that zone" and just not have it running.

But house was built in 92 and have never had a problem with it.........

Dean, that's cool......uuh, I mean.....that's neat!  Har!  I know that warm garage floor is great for sitting/lying on working on your 'toys' and whatever else needs attention.   :) spyder

Space......got to have space!

It is 1300 sg feet, no support poles. I had them install 22" I-beam( two of them) so their would be no poles to hold it up.

Also had a 10 foot celing so some day I could install stackers if I needed more space.

Got hot water heat in the floor.....you can sit down on your a$$ if need be and still be warm. Once all the floor get to 74 deg it just a big "hot rock" , open the doors to get car out in the -20 deg day and with in 10 mins it's all back to 74.

It only took me 15 years to be able to build the garage with a house hooked on to it!

If you ever build a garage you got to do the hot water heat thing......if you live up north!

AHMEN to the radiant heat brother, I got it in mine as well, it's the bomb

Dean,
You got to admit, these trikes are tricked  ;D
You no doubt do some excellent work with Trikes.
?? you do you still have the parts from these CVOs that were removed? Or have you sold them off?

Think I like the one in your pic better MY.  Would rather ride in front of the engine instead of right behind it.  You just know that someday a radiator hose will eventually blow..... [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

2Lane,

Trike's, you can make them any way you can! If they are happy with it .......so be it.

MYCVO,

Parts......you need some parts?........have I got parts!

I have:

Two take off sets from 2000 soft tail Heritage classic. This is from the swingarm back

One set from the 99 Ultra less the bags

One set from the 01 Ultra less the bags

Some left over parts from two V-ROD's

One set from the 04 SEEG complet   was a black/blue

One set from 05 CVO Fat Boy  Complet   ( I am takeing this one apart this weekend)  Red one

And the complet set from the current 06 USE.  Also have all the "tins" from this bike. I did not match the paint on our body this time. I am haveing the whole bike custom painted. I just could not strip the factory paint off so I bought all new tin's from Harley in primmer and had them painted.

So I have as a set all the body parts. I don't want to part out the tins , I want to sell as a set only.

We also have MANY other Harley take off parts in sets at the shop. We have 5 demo bikes we use at all the shows we goto and most all of them are at the shop in boxes complet but I just cant think of the years....
The demo bikes get sold after two years and we than make new set of demo bikes.

Current demo bikes we have are :
06 Classic   swingarm back complet
04 Classic   "                             "
05 Road Glide "                          "
05 Dyna         "                          "

All the bike from above had 15-200 miles on them when we took apart. So no chips/dings ect on them.

If anything gets you going let me know.......

I am in Chicago IL, can ship by ups and truck.

Dean,
That's damn good to know. Not that I want to jinx myself, but I'm interested in the parts you have for the 04 FLHTCSE. One never knows if a bag might get screwed up by whatever, and to have a stand-by set would be ideal.
 PM me with some sort of price that you can come up with. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]
Thanks
Mark

You got to have some kind of storage in that shop Bro. Damn I'm green with envy
