Your bike looks tough by the way! My 16's are just perfect, I'm afraid 23's might be a little to tall for me.[/QUOTE]
Thanks. Just finished it. Waiting on a tire and a derby cover...had it out last weekend but the 40 mph winds, snow, and sand about covering the roads kept me from more than a few miles.

Thanks. Just finishing it up. Still a couple little parts I'm waiting on. Rode it last weekend but the sand on the road and wind and ice kept me close to home!

Very cool! I like how the two tone is done. Unique, Love the jockey shift!
Great... now I have to go look at Springers for sale so I can contemplate buying one and doing some stuff to it...

Yep, it's a 2006 Springer Classic. They were also made in 2007, and if you find one of those, you get the 96" engine and 6 speeds transmission.
But, the 88" runs plenty strong too, especially with a set of cams to wake it up.
