thanks for the google link, already done that, I rather like to talk to the owner if I like something he did...

I really don’t wanna start another « what’s old-school and what’s not” thread !

Chaz, that is a very nice bike. I hope the side bag isn't all you use to pack for an o'ernighter Nice touch though. Holds chapstick, and maybe a small camera??? LOL
Two tubes of chapstick and a pack of Kools!!

I went for an old school look but with new technology with my 09. Much cooler than the Lo.

Good mix of chrome and black. Plain tank, solo bag, 1/2 mood floor boards, solo seat, power coated the rims, front end and bars. Relocated the horn and coil and yanked the center post to clean up the left side some. People ask what year it is so I think I did ok?

A little bit like the Fat Boy Special but before the Moco had the idea ;-)

Softail has lots of potential to make a retro old school bike.

Default old school, I purchased a hardtail widetire frame

put all pre 99 softail parts on it . I'm not sure if my pic posted yet or if I did it right. currently have a heritage front fender with a 21" wheel on it, and am in the process of building a heritage strutless to fit a 200 rear tire, not in pics yet. looks and rides awesome. At 52 yrs young old school to me is Hardtail Baby!!!!. I built this bike 7 yrs ago, when this style was cool. I love the bike so much that instead of building a new bike, with some tin changes I think this will once again be within the new cool desciption, although I still get lots of compliments on the old styling. will include new pic's in a few weeks when my rear fender is done and installed.

I don't care if this is old school or new school - it's just plain cool.

Now... where did you put the horn and coil?

My front is only 1" shorter, the Boots are available on Ebay, they are not that expensive and look scruffy, the cool diamond cut ones are very expensive.

Search for 'Fork Boot Gators"
