My grand dad took a GW engine and put it in a t-bucket. That thing hauled ***! Those motors are pretty decent depending on the year.

COOL!!!

Can't wait to see this one Joe! I would love to hook up you guys some day and do some wrenchin'!

Still looking for my Next Project.

Right now I am looking for a basketcase Shovel. I think I will concentrate on a engine build and then build the bike around that. Maybe a bobber built on a older FLH frame!

AHHHHHHH!!! To many options, not enough time!

Hah Hah .....I had a 83 standard back in the day...

funny pimpin it up never crossed my mind

Here's a suggestion , how about building a matching trailer or moding an existing trailer with your sub, amp ,spare battery.

Now you'd have room to go to fifteens , why stop at tens.

Plus your smooth bike wouldn't turn into a tuning fork , no dynamat needed.
