Why don't you just sell that ugly *** Dyna and buy the real thing?

Certain tribes of Native Americans practiced scalping, in some instances up until the 19th century. According to Haines and Steckel (2000), "Probably the most dramatic skeletal example of prehistoric violence in North America comes from the Crow Creek site in central South Dakota. Archaeological excavations revealed about 486 skeletons within a fortification ditch on the periphery of the habitation area. The site represents the Initial Coalescent period and dates to about 1325 A.D. P. Willey's analysis revealed that 90% of the individuals had cut marks characteristic of scalping."[6]

I was referring to pay back. We all know the tribes didn't play Tiddleywinks before they got visitors.

It was a joke, but thank you for the history lesson Mr. Helper!

****..what someone said above about the VIN number is right. What I can do though is change the beginning "1" to an "I" for "indian" that should take care of that.

You guys can hate on us Indian affectionados all you want, but once you see the maroon tins I'm gonna spray paint..speaking of which, has anyone heard for Krylon Fusion? It's supposed to stick to anything, so instead of sanding was just gonna spray it over my vivid black..but we'll see.

I also need to figure out how to get that "bottle cap" look on the engine rockers. The two things I though of was to either take really small screws and screw some old school coke bottle caps in the rockers, or take a small mallet and kind make small dents in the rockers, giving it that look.

the only think I need now are bags, so was thinking of some nylon cortech throw overs, then stapling or riveting some tassels to them as well.

Lastly, I see the Indian above..is that real or did you mod your Dyna as well? Makes me think I should paint on a tank badge instead to make it look more authentic. Im gonna be pin striping with the paint pen anyhow...

thanks for the positive feed back to those who offered it.

I don't think anyone has actually offered positive feedback for this comic thread.
None of us are taking you serious.

You have a rocker, the bastardized soulless ginger of the Harley family. If anyone else here should want to know how to change their bike into an Indian, you should. j/k.

It will look phenomenal once I am done. I don't know why, but I can't find anyone one else who has done such a thing, but surely they must be out there.

What do you guys think of a maroon tank with bronze dash and black buck horn styled apes (gloss black -not that cheap *** satin black).
