1983 Harley-Davidson FLHS

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

Orig thought was to get it back to stock, but I decided go w my vision for it. I’ll try not to take away its orig look too much , when I get the doh I’ll start looking fir taillights etc when I can. Currently have 1 blinker 😂

What motivated you to start your project?

This was my bro In-Laws he passed away a few yrs back. His kids weren’t going to do anything w it do they gifted it to me. So I promise to get it going again. Haven’t go too far yet.

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

Well going to have to manufacture/make a sissy bar for seat I picked up. Unless I can find one I like for sale

What are you most proud of?

Keeping Bills Shovel alive, he didn’t have the money to fix it up the last years of his life. His kids would love to see it roll up to their houses

What do other people say about your motorcycle?
