Howie, if you wanted a new bike.......   :nixweiss:


I thought you loved that bike man?  Now there won't be anything left of it.

Don, the way I figured it, the bike needed some attention. It was starting to add up when looking at restoring it. Also, too much inferior chit that needs updating anyway. For 10 grand, I'll have a new 110", 6-speed, CVO style, rigid mounted setup on my 4-speed frame, with title! I'll have the best of everything. Didn't want a rubber mount or Softail, so this is the real only option. And to get a new Hot Rod Street Bike for 10 Grand! Man you can't beat that with a stick! ;)

Just got off the phone with Dan of Traxxion. Great news! BiTubo makes 301 mm shocks for 4-speed frames. So you know, they are different from our current FL shocks. They work on FX or FL's '73 to '86, but not beyond. But BiTubo makes them, so I ordered a set for the '85. I'll ship the 2 fork legs to them for the AK-20 conversion, and they'll ship everything back to me at one time.

As far as I know, I'll have the only 4-speed frame bike set up w/AK-20's and BiTubos! CVO style baby! ;D

Was just yanking your chain pal.  Had realized some simlar math.  If that 10k range works out it's a heluvan upgrade for that level of expenditure.  Can't wait to see the end result.

Well I didn't plan it this way, but now I have 2 builds going at once. Vern from North Shore Motorcycle in New Hyde Park, NY is doing both of them. My SERK is described under the "Cybil" thread in the SERK Section. The CVOing of my FXWG will go on here.

The new RevTech Driveline came in. 110" Evo engine; 6-speed splined shaft transmission; complete primary assembly including heavy duty clutch assembly, comp sprocket, inner and outer primary covers, chain adjuster and chain; 1.7 kw starter; all the hardware and miscellaneous stuff. The new WG front end should be in anytime now. The forks will be sent to Traxxion for the AK-20 when it comes in. The BiTubos have shipped from Italy, and should be here soon too. I told Dan to hold them til the forks are done, and ship everything together. The new PM calipers, Russell floating rotors, and new hand and and foot controls should be here soon too. The rear Thunderstar wheel showed up today. Hopefully we'll have everything for the bike in before Thanksgiving. Then I'll bring the bike in for the rebuilding. I'll keep you guys posted!

I thought about this long and hard, and decided I loved this bike too much not to make it new again. You can't get this frame and it will make for quite a unique bike. Anyone can own a Superglide. But only I can build an '85 CVO FXWG! ;)

Definitely, I think a blog would be a great place for you. That, afterall, is what you're doing here, blogging.

That would be perfect.
"In simple terms, a blog is a web site, where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can read what's new. Then they comment on it or link to it or email you. Or not."
Good idea Chief.



Also should we wait till it's done to explain that no matter how much money is spent it will never be a CVO.
You would think someone would know better than that.
And besides, considering the track record with that 07 CVO there isn't a lot of hope.
We can only hope the HVO turns out better.

I'm not interested in furnishing any info outside this forum. If you're not interested in the subject, don't read it. If others aren't interested, just let me know. I won't share my experience with the group. Sounds simple enough to me. :confused5:

Taking this pretty personal, huh Chief. I never say that to my friends. It tells me something about you.

Sounds like an ambitious project.  It will be great to see it completed (with lots of progress pics).  Hopefully this post will remain on the lighter side rather than getting into a pi$$ing match!  :P

Some progress on this bike too now. The BiTubo's are in. The new front forks are in, and were shipped down to Traxxion for the AK-20 conversion. By the time we get Cybil finished, all of the parts for this bike should be here, and we can tackle transforming this bike into a modern version of a brand new CVO style '85 FXWG! Then I can start building the 4-speed rigid Evo Choppa with all the take-offs from the WG! The fun never ends! ;)
