That's funny you say that Jack. I felt the same when I got on my Springer after a month of only riding the bagger. Light by comparison.

Pearl looks great, she’s definitely put together with love, and probably some cursing along the way.

 

I'm closing in on having her 15 yrs, and she's never left me on the side of the road, other than a rear tire blowout.

She doesn't get ridden much anymore, but after doing all this stuff the love affair is reignited....

 

Great job Jack, Pearl looks awesome!

 

Thanks Russ. She was dirty when you saw her.

After putting her together the first time I spent 2 hrs with her on the lift Dennying her up, and man she looks good....

 

Looking good, Jack

 

Dang Jack, don't get me to thinking too much. 🤔
Mine would be red.....lol.
Hopefully I've got a few more years to throw the Glide around, I also love my bagger.

 

I've had Grace for 12 years, bought her new. Stranded me once when the rear wheel besring exploded. She's also on her second frame, but the MoCo stamped the new frame when it was reported to them.

Question about the Dennying, what do you do for the engine to blacken it up? I have a product, but I can't remember what it is. It's in the shop and I can't get out there right now. Wondering if it's similar.

 

Ugh neighbor came over and threw a bunch of food my way. I’m stuffed.

 

Thanks John.....

Right now I'm sitting at about $2,500 in parts for her rebuild. That's all chrome front end top to bottom, new Apes, riser, wiring, connectors, grips, mirrors and a couple other things.

 

I use Formula B from Cycle Care. Get it on Amazon. For paint I use Harley's spray cleaner and polish. Owner of the Red River Harley here I've known for 35 yrs, and he talked me into trying it. Works great.
