I haven't looked at this bike for ages so I thought I'd stick some pics up just to kick me into working on it again.
Irishjon's Shovel P6050061
75 FL motor that was rebuilt professionally before I got near it. Frame is a VTwin 48 replica with all the correct castings.
Late model FL springer was another Trademe score, like just about everything else on this bike.

And before anyone asks, I didn't want to put Fat Bob tanks on it. That would have looked stock and there are loads of other bikes like that around. I like it better this way. Very Happy
The big tanks went onto the Evo.

That's what Pete asked me last night. I just never got round to tightening off the primary and fixing the electrical fault in the spot lights. Lazy really. I'd like to get back into it soon.

I picked that one up at Pete's and brought it home. He still doesn't know if he wants to sell it but I thought if he didn't see it for a while he might get used to the idea. I want to see what it would look like o the front of the Ironhead.
Hopefully after this week I will get more spare time. No more trips to Oz.
