Default 91' XLH Rebuild Complete (LOTSA PICS)

Finally got the weekend warrior project completed. Almost a year in the making. I chipped away at it in between work, wife, kids, drinking beer and drinking some more beer. But she's finally done. Picked it up in May of 2013 for $1200. Tore it down to the frame and rebuilt the top end and literally almost replaced everything on the bike. Left the tranny and bottom end alone. Did all the powder coating myself except for the frame and the rims. Painted the tank and fenders with Eastwoods Dead Rat Black. Here is what she looked like when I picked er up!

Thanks guys! I really appreciate it. Lot of blood sweat and tears went into it... there was no other feeling in the world when I took her out the other day for the first time!
