New Project Bike

[tourbox]

Well I couldn't stand it any longer I went and bought a 1973 FX. I still like the old Shovels. As you can see from the pics I have my work cut out. This will be a long term project but have gotten a few things already. I'm debating on going with the FL set up for that year. I have a old fairing already located but no saddle bags as yet. Everything is in the planning stage for now. The motor and tranny have been rebuilt,4-5 yrs. back, but never ran. I bought it from a friend who is a wrench for the local HD shop. He didn't do the rebuilds but knows & trust the guy that did.
As time & money progress I will post more pics and keep this updated. Some stuff will be upgraded.

That's awesome. I wish I had the money, time and know how to take on a project like that. I'll be looking forward to progress reports and Poics. Good luck and have fun with it.

Well I figure 3-6 months at least. I'm putting a '74 Shovel back together for guy since July of 2013. It hadn't been running in about 5 yrs.It is now though. Still waiting on him for asst. cables & other parts. Dollars & time to make it work.
