    As most of you know after the demise of my fatty in March, I have been without a bike.

    Well that all changed today..................

    Picked up a 1986 Softail Custom, 1340, 5 speed, 95% original, some engine mods include Andrews EV27 Cam, S&S Super E carby, S&S Air Filter, Dyna 2000 Ignition Module,

    Scremin Eagle Exhaust, Paint is still Original.

    A big Thank-you to Blackey and Keith From Road Warriors Motorcycle Works, wthout these guys i would not have the bike.

    1st decent ride will not be for at least 4 weeks, bike went straight into workshop for some Tbolt tinkering.........will post more pics as things happen

    That's the best news I've heard in a while brother. Congrats on the new ride, and I can't wait to share the blacktop with you again.

    A lot of riders would have been put off by your accident, but I know you are made of stauncher stuff.

    Regards and respect,

    Lofty

    It will be good to get out and have a ride soon.


    Have spent the last few days going over the bike and also changing a few things.........
    The bike is from america....one owner from texas, kept basically original.

    I am looking forward to going out and having a ride on a harley again.
