Drained about 4 gallons of gas to remove the tanks...






Just filthy....



I decided to grab a rag, couldn't find my bottle of simple green, so just a dry rag and... there is still some shine left in this bike!!!







Next she will get a proper bath... I'm gonna need a kiddy pool though..... It's only 11 degrees outside!

Most of that should clean up nicely (lots of elbow grease), evos still had decent chrome.

Scored a lowering kit today for $20, and a nice set of porker pipes, they look like V&H Longshots. I got them for $40.. Pics soon!

Damn bro, I dont look at Evo threads. Didnt know you had one going. This is way easier than looking at pics in 1000 text msgs...

looking good but needs more chrome and fishtails...jk

On the rear you can look at a heartland kit and you can get a few deg rake with trees if you really wanted it...you could use the tubes and lowers you bought. On second thought lets cut it up and have Wayne tig it back together!

let me know if you need anything, bros is an understatement...anything, anytime including bail...but you already know that...lol
