Bud,

All I can say is "WOW". I know how you feel about the colour thing as I have changed a couple of bikes over the years because I didn't like the colour.

I think your bike has a rather unique colour combination that would almost place it in the rare category. As green happens to be one of my favourite colours, I wouldn't

change a thing (of course I'm biased). I'm sure if you take a poll this summer, nine out of ten people will...

thanks stan,
seems i read something about the 35w bulbs also, i'll have to check into it. i'm sure i'll end up putting something up there. the ones at o'reillys were LEDs. i'm sure i could take them back if i didn't like them. the older Goldwings had charging problems also and i always figured that was because of all the lighting guys hung on them. when i meet a bike with the lightbars, can't help but think to myself i need some more lights up front. just hate...

Bud, I believe that I saw where someone had LED driving light replacement bulbs now. Might want to check on it. Also, most of the bargain driving/fog lights pull 55W...the same as for bikes, but there are 35W replacement bulbs being offered now that cuts the current draw.

thanks for the compliments guys. really appreciated after all the work i did on this one.
alain, when i got this bike it had smaller willie and max bags on it that i just didn't care for. i love huge bags on a bike, especially these bikes, as they have a longer wheelbase than the harley roadking...really big bikes. think the huge bags is one of the things that attracts me to the indians/drifters with the big esprey bags. lots of guys on the LC forum are putting the harley hard bags...

Bud,

You do great work. It's always a pleasure to see pictures of the bikes you "fix-up".

Hey Bud,
what a great looking bike. I love what you did to her. Admire all those details.
Great job and don't change the color.

Looks good, bud. There are some shades of green that I don't care for, but I really like the shade of yours with the silver accent. I would not change a thing.......except maybe add a light bar. To me a big bike looks better with a light bar.

Great job Bud.....I almost need sunglasses to look at these photos. This bike has beautiful curves. Had you thought of using more rounded saddlebags so the tops comform to the top of the fenders? What are you thinking of if you decide to repaint?

been a long winter, but think i finally have the LC finished. took all the tins off and did a very deep detailing, installed an alarm system, made my own lowering links and lowered the bike an 1 1/2", re-jetted the carbs to a stage three system, added new saddlebags, installed complete new rear wheel/tire/brake system, and numerous items of chrome and leather. even got a little saddle time in the last few days here in kansas city. bike runs/rides great, but gotta say i'm still not...
