this is my first HD, started life as a '98 dyna convertible, i bought her when i was 20, i'm about to turn 30, been playing with her all this time, the cops just took my licence off me (as i was in negotiations to buy another girl, 2014 wide glide) so its time to remove some vital components for 6 months to avoid temptation.
stretched tank, one off dragon design, i picked the same bright red as holden are using, mikuni carby, vance n hines big radius pipes (detracted from performance drastically), lepera seat, progressive rear suspension, dropped the front suspension, more recently i replaced the speedo tacho with a digital one, forward controls, burleigh bars, hypercharger.
i am a big fan of evolution motors, by '98 they were making them pretty spot on, the twin cams that were coming out when i bought this were in (EDIT) my opinion, lots of dramas and the idea of sensors everywhere was a turn off to my old school mindset at the time, plus i couldnt afford a new bike back then.
the next project on this i am considering is putting a billet aluminium wide glide front end on her.
not quite sure how far to extend the rake by as i do like the way she handles currently, also this model came out with twin front disc brakes something else to take into consideration.
i used to ride 1000km in a day trips on her and i never had any alternate mode of transport, things changed, business, kid n mrs etc, now she only get ridden for love.
