Finished the springtime maintenance on the old Harley this morning. She got a new clutch plates and basket, oil change, starter rebuild, fresh summer air in the tires, a good washing and waxing....I'm going for a ride.

It's been a few years since they make one like that.  Very nice.

How do people react when they see you glide by?

The women........makes them wet

The men......just jealous 

 

I guess I just crossed that line and now....but we are all adults here

Seriously a lot of Harley riders don't even know what model that is. 

I have the biker guy come up to me and he says.....what's it trying to be?

Me.....a motorcycle 

Are you trying to make it look like a Fat Boy

Me....no a 1977 Shovelhead 

It looks like you are trying to make it look like a Fat Boy

Me.....the Fat Boy was designed after the mid 60s/70s stripped down Hog.  This is a 77 Electra Gulide with the fairing removed. I have the newer saddle bags on because the original were junk and I had these laying around. It's just a motorcycle

Is it a reflection I

Yes. 

That is a homemade air cleaner and the Stainless steel is from the base of the checkout scanners for Piggly Wiggly or as I call it the Wobbly Sow.

When they changed their scanners the guy who did it ask his boss....what should I do with all these base plates? The boss said throw them in the dumpster. 

I grabbed around 200 pounds of Stainless and that wasn't even half of it.

It looks stock

It's lowered 2 inches and stretched 2 inches. When I built it I was was going for the choped 50s Mercury look.
