Here's a few on my photobucket account, and there are over 400 other pictures of projects there also. This Indian is the one I built to go to Bonneville...

I rebuild everything here myself. I have no idea about any other shop that I'd trust except for MotorWorks in Spokane.
Truck is complete but we need to finish up all the sheetmetal work. Harley has over 200 hours just in the chassis alone. How much would that cost in a commercial shop???
We hope to pull it out of storage and finish up the body sometime this summer...

I remember this guy who bought a Harley chopper back in the late sixties/early seventies, was his first bike. It had the extended forks and he could barely steer the thing but one day he kicked started it and it back fired and through him over the handle bars, I didn't see it for myself but a lot of guys were talking about it to his embarrassment. I myself have never owned or ridden a motorcycle other than a few circles on a 50cc honda in a parking lot.

I've got 10.5 to 1 compression and have a manual spark retard. If I forget, it WILL spit me over the handle bars to the floor. Just ask Harley, he's seen me do it more than once......................lol
Not till summer...................sigh...
