    Thought I'll say hello to everyone and introduce my 1981 FLHC

    * shovelhead 80cu (1340)
    * Year: 1981
    * Model: FLHC
    * Mods: slightly stripped down, new paint, pipes, S&S carb, bags, low profile lexan windscreen, Andrew J Grind, Crane ignition (some bits here and there) otherwise 100%(?) original and overall well maintained *don;t trust anyone else doing work on it (made the mistake once or twice and they fucked up both occasions - never again (pm me if you want to know who fucked up - not the pretties story crying)
    (hanging on to all orginal bits in case I decide to go back to original wink (see further down)
    * History: Had it since new - brought with me from Sweden 1991 and now live southwest WA region (south of Perth)
