Really a nice ride, quick smooth and definetly a joy to drive.

Few years back we went to visit her brother back east. Rented a new Heritage Softail (what was available) so we could ride the Dragon. Great time. Bike performed flawlessly. Sat on a new Slim model (first or second year out). It was really, really nice and got me close to thinking about adding some new iron.

Is that SRV in your avatar? You get a free pass no matter what you drive, own, or operate.
LOL, of course that's SRV....

No worries. I guess I should apologize. I didn't really follow along and didn't catch the "slam"....

That's why interpreting the texted word I should probably leave to my Grandson.....

He's here, and smarter than me. Any more questions and I'll have him proof read before I comment....

Just remember If AMF buyers didn't - you'd all be riding Hondas

The tank straps on mine had AMF on them. Took them off. Still got 'em in a drawer somewhere.

I built my own version of that in the early 90's, started life as a 72 FLH in boxes.

Bike looks really good. I came very close to buying one. Glad to see that you've retained the belt drive over the years. I believe the "B" in the FXB was for belt.

Ah, now we are back to the conversation about the Haberdasher and his influence on the MoCo. Seems to me a lot of really cool bikes came out of Milwaukee under his reign. Just sayin'.

I ride a 1977 flh sport. Also a 77 flh. And a 77 xlt sportster. I like the amf harley bikes. Little tinkering once in a while. I'd rather have carburetor than injection personally. Can't push start it with dead battery either. Lol just preference. Most is how you take care of your stuff usually.
