And so is the winter project
I thought I'd be able to work on this for a few days but it didn't last long enough. I posted about 3 months ago about being rear ended. I decided to do the work myself and do a few upgrades with the leftover money. I was lucky to find the exact color febder NIB on eBay for $350 vs $800 form Harley and the rest of parts I sourced cheap as well. I was able to work the Saddlebag and straighten rail guard took as good as they did before the accident so I saved them and both crash guards and with that, quite a bit of money.
Yesterday I tightened the last few nuts and bolts. Did a few upgrades along with the repairs, added all l.e.d turn signals and tail (custom dynamics), added HD chrome Saddlebag fillers and a V twin bumper.
Really happy with the way it turned out and very excited to have had my 12 year old help me along the way.
Still have about 1/2 the insurance money for upgrades, contemplating new wheels and tires.

 

 

Glad you got your bike vac k to where you want. I am more happy that you have healed. May it be a short winter, and may you have many safe riding seasons.

 

Looks good, thanks for sharing.

 

Congratulations it looks good and has to be a good feeling to have it done!

 

Pretty awesome time for bonding with your son. Glad to see you are back on the road (when winter ends).

 

Quality time spent with your son, did the work yourself, saved money and it looks great. Congrats

 

Very nice!!!!

 

Congratulations ... As Gene Autry would say "Back in the Saddle Again" ... Working with the son is very rewarding. I remember when I did the Shovelhead "resurrection" ... My youngest son was there from the tear-down to a bare frame and finished with the "firing up" at the completion. He still talks about it. :>)

 

Glad your okay. With the help of your son, she's starting to look good for the next riding season. Nice Omega btw.
