Thanks. It should stand out if you know what you are looking at! It wont go that fast. Not enough chrome.

Softy that motor should be so understressed at normal speeds it should last a long time! My old 95 build was driven normally 99 percent of the time but never failed me when the odd Nipponese V-twin challenged me. You know you have to wonder how many of the bikes that challenge you are actually built bigger than a stage one. I'd wager that although it seems everyone on the internet is a Stage 10 or above the actual percent of strokers I've run across (even in Detroit) is not huge at all. I believe it is because the buy in price of the Harley fraternity is steep to begin with. It also seems that the number of gearheads who can wrench on their own bikes is shrinking as well. The younger gen seem less likely to me to own a garage full of tools.

Round here 95% are very stock baggers. Even if challenged I would pass. Now if I was rollin down the freeway I might show them my tail lights.
