Once again, long time lurker, second time poster, haha!

I've had a few bikes through the years. My first bike was a Chopsmiths-built '06 Sporty....



Owned a gook bike I never rode, then moved on to another sporty project that ended as this....



Sold that thanks to one....ahem....less than savory female....owned another gook bike i rode for a month and doubled my money on, and had been without a bike for 5 months.....




....until now. Here's my newest pickup, '01 FXDX.



Has some mini-apes, screamin eagle slip ons and air cleaner, smoothed rear fender, shock-bolt plate mount, forward controls, custom rear signals, some chrome pieces, other doodads. Needs a few little things, but got it for a song, so I'm happy as a pig eatin' slop.

Plans include new rubber, a burly slammer kit, and pipes more suited to my taste. and I'm sure some odds and ends along the way.

See you fellas on the road....

Congrats

 

Congrats and welcome to dyna forum

 

Those Sportys are awesome ... looking forward to seeing what you do with that Dyna!

 

Nice bike just the way it sits.

 

Sweet bike welcome aboard.

 

You're going to take an FXDX and lower it? What's the point? Why didn't you just buy a normal FXD if you're going to do that. Leave the few FXDXs left for those of us who care about how a bike handles.

 

Thanks!

It was the right price, and if I cared about carving corners, I'd have bought a Buell. And honestly, posts like this make it more enticing to start in on. I had no idea there'd be purists worried about a ten year old Harley. LOL.

I'll be sure to post pics along the way. I ordered my Burly kit tonight, and I'll be picking up a Santee lake pipe later this week. Getting started already!

 

To be fair, the whole (10 year old Harley) kinda rubs me the wrong way.

I didn't know, you should stop caring about a bike because of its age.

But I agree, that if the price was right, its your bike, you do what you want, and no one should tell you other wise.

I rode sport-bikes for many years before I bought my FXDX. I bought it because it was the best bike for me, a little of both worlds. I would never lower it.

Than again, I would never bash a man for doing so either.

 

Do your own thing with your own bike. Whatever it is. But the rule is: PICS REQUIRED!
