What does your 2 Harley (Dream or reality) garage look like?
Dyna Glide ModelsSuper Glide, Super Glide Sport, Super Glide Custom, Dyna Glide Convertible, Super Glide T-Sport, Dyna Glide Police, Dyna Switchback, Low Rider, Street Bob, Fat Bob and Wide Glide.
I'd Keep my SB as my every day bike, and get something impractical, but a lot of fun to wrench and pootle around on...
Is this your bike? If so what is that on the left rear swing arm? Is that a tranny for jockey shift or reserve tank, or may be neither. Never saw that before.
My dream garage would need to be more than 2. Need a daily rider, stage 2 Softail, a hot rod bobber to tear-*** around, and an 82 kicker Lowrider for Sunday rides and for looking at.

Not my bike, sadly. Just my dream second HD. Essentially a funky Ratfink painted, stripped down Panhead.
I wondered about that lumpy unit on the rear frame myself too, but I think it's just the shiny-chromed license plate bracket, blending in with the shiny-chromed primary cover, because of the low angle the photo was taken from. That said, I've seen oil filters located back there, tucked in behind the license plate bracket (Indian Larry made/makes one, from memory).

You're right it is just the plate with a emblem on it blending in with the jockey shift tranny. Without blowing the pic up it looks like a oil bag or rear gear set.
The paint was a special order through Harley's custom paint program in about 1987. All new parts, custom painted to my specs by the factory. Took about 9 months to come in. I mounted the fenders and tanks when new, then in about 1994 I boxed it all up and went with a new set of aftermarket fenders and tanks custom painted. I just unboxed this old set and re-installed a couple of months ago.
Here are some previous versions of the same bike (I've had it since new in 1985).
If i had a second Harley to go with my Low Rider S it would be the Sport Glide. Have the Dyna as my hooligan bike and the Sport Glide for touring. But i think i'd rather go with something completely different for a second bike, like a Triumph Tiger 800 XC.
