Completed some minor tweaks that needed to be done on the Electra Glide. Updated firmware on the Sony 7000, improved install on the in-fairing AM/FM/WB antenna, replaced damaged lead to caliper mount light, installed eGlideGoodies Ultra Brace on new Advanblack tour pack, and readied bikes for the ride with Mama tomorrow (Sunday). It's all good!!
Did a '55 Chevy by brush at 16, took all summer sanding, painting, sanding, and painting and sanding and sanding and sanding! I don't think it looked as good as your bike - good lookin paint job.
Stripped the tin and sent it off to a local painter. Previous owner left the bike in a field to rot. Rust everywhere. Speedo was so faded you couldn't make out the numbers for actual speed. Bought it at estate auction for 3k and decided to take it on as a restoration project. Ronnie's H-D and their Micro-Fiche has been a life-saving asset, and they've gotten a lot of my business. Full write up coming once I have the tin back from paint. Doing all work on my own, except for paint.
Hope ya keep us updated as you head forward,,, I'm on the lookout fer a find like this, been wanting a Road King to set up my way, like I did with the Soft-Glide! Nothing like doing it to suite yourself in every way! Good luck, keep er personal!!
I didn't set out to build a hotrod I just wanted to freshen everything up and increase my power through the middle range and not all of it at top end of rpm range!! this bike is my two wheeled Barcalounger!! Lol I wanted something very rideable and reliable and will give me many more miles of smiles!! and I got exactly what I was looking for!! I have a Dyna that runs very well for when I want to jeopardize my driving privilege's
found the 5th gear missing a tooth on the out put 5th gear. tore it all down. just to remove the IPB inner race and slide it out. Oh what fun... down shifting hard,and climbing mountain road in the twisties.
I would go into a trannie if someone that knew them was helping or at least guiding, but not on my own. Congrats on doing yours.
I imagine these bikes are somewhat easier to work on than say, a sportster, simply because they are separate from the engine.
