build an FLHS style bike that I could not afford as a kid

What motivated you to start your project?

it was time for another re-build

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

having to re-work all the crappy AMF welds on the frame. Modified the swing arm to eliminate that dirt bike rear end look giving it a slammed look while maintaining bottom frame clearance

What are you most proud of?

I’m the original owner

What do other people say about your motorcycle?
