Case,
I sold that bike after a complete tear down. Repainted all white, engine rebuild, added lots of chrome and brass bolts around the pans, brass inspection covers and lacing a new narrower rim on the front.
The only thing the guy that bought it from me did to it was add a silver "California Highway Patrol" emblem on the side of the new fatbob tank. The emblem was like an eight point star with the "blind justice lady" in the center and "Harley Davidson" encircling the area between the star points and the center picture.
4 months later, in was on the cover of a custom bike magazine. And I was stuck riding a Yamaha 650.
I like parallel twins much better anyway.
The old man that built my motor asked me if I wanted anything special. I told him to build it to last and I didn't want any oil leaks. To which he replied, "Then how the h**l are you gonna know if you got any?".
Ride Safe,
Dennis
