Default Rebuilding a Fallen Marine's Sled

Calling on all fellow bikers!!! I just recently lost my brother a Veteran Marine, True Patriot and avid Harley Rider. Here is the situation. I was willed his 2007 Harley Davidson Softail Custom which prior to his death he was in an accident on where the front end and left side was damaged. This accident and health complications thereof resulted in his death. I am planning on repairing his bike in a tribute to him and his life and riding it in his honor and the honor of all our fallen service members in the Patriot Guard. I am in hopes that this request will reach any fellow bikers that would like to donate OEM parts, knowledge, assistance or otherwise to the rebuild. If anyone is interested in helping please PM me and thanks upfront for any and all assistance applied.
Best Regards, Mike AKA Tripwire



DAMAGE;
Dent left side of tank
Front/rear turn signals
Seat
Left side rider/passenger pegs
Forks
Front tire and Rim
Derby cover
Handle bars
Clutch/Brake levers

I have a bunch of parts laying around from my '07 Softail Standard......Front and rear turn signals (fronts have relocation brackets to install on forks, instead of handlebars). As well as stock pegs, and stock shifter and brake levers. PM me.

I have an extra front fender you can have. It is an aftermarket, but the same style as the stock fender, just welded instead of riveted. PM me if you want it. I can get it out next next week.

I have a HD lay down tag holder - had it on my Fatboy, not sure if it would fit. Also have floor boards, rotors, tail light (all for a FB). Not much for what he gave for our country but glad to help if needed - where are you at?
