What was your intended objective when you started the build?

To finish it. It’s been slow going as I’ve made it look like an FLH and have made a lot of small tweaks and custom parts.

What motivated you to start your project?

I love building and love Shovels, duh! 😉

What was the most unique and creative thing you did to the bike?

Trying to fit a “modern” wiring harness and electrics in to it.

What are you most proud of?

The custom parts and part modifications to make them fit

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

When are you going to finish it?
