My 81' FXLS
LS= Lundee Style. Figured she was far enough from stock it counts as custom. Bone stock about a 9 months ago. This was my first atempt at serious choppin. I modified a stock sporty tank, blank fender,built the exhaust,plate mount, jockey shift, battery box, rebuilt the tranny, did the body work and paint. Wiring, plumbing. Welded up the struts. I wanna put on a real rigid a$$ end, but wasn't sure if my old back could handle it. Gotta say this bastard rides just as nice as my lowered softy. So I might be hacking the azz off her next winter.

man , that is one sharp lookin bike ! you don't believe in leaving much room between the fender and the tire do ya ?
love the many little details , and the paint is fantastic
couple of questions... what's the tube running from the handlebars to the carb , and what is the brass (?) thing in the middle of the gas tank ? some kind of fuel gauge ?

So I wasn't happy with the way she turned out so I'm kinda starting over. Here is my frame that we put in the jig and bent up some tubeage. And a couple pics of a tank I started from scratch-ola. I'm hoping to be a little more detailed over the next few months on the re-build.

Just checked out ur site bikerlaw. Looks like a damn good cause. Nice shovel too. Quick mock-up of my scoot. I've got to build a new set of pipes, stretch the fender, plate mount, flat bottom my sporty tank, build a new oil tank, got a new idea for paint. I'm thinking about doing my frame in a transparent blue. Think candy color but, w/ powder coat.
