About all that is left to do is add flame patch to seat, that matches the paint job. A lot of money from the start, but worth it. The bike is a 2002, 100 cu. in. running 120 HP with all the mods I did. It has been a long slow process. Only 4000 miles since I turned the softail frame into a rigid. I raised the tank Frisco style, chopped the back fender, which is suppoerted by a fender brace I bent and welded myself. I know longer had a place to mount the seat after lowering fender, so I bent up a seat mount out of 2 steel rods and put Pike nuts on it. I made the whole exhaust system. I added the PM Wrath rims and rotors and rear belt pulley. I added the 3" BDL belt primary drive. I cut the whole wiring harness out and only have 6 wires on the whole bike. New bars, risers, and control levers. My own design hand shift. Starter button is on end of starter selenoid. I also added Wimmer down draft intake manifold.I added manual compression releases on each head to deal with all the power when trying to start the bike. I thought I was going to break the starter or flywheel until adding the compression releases. Top speed is 150mph. Acceleration is crazy. Shift into 6th at 90 mph. I am glad I am 57 years old. If I would have owned this bike when I was twenty, I would be dead. After 43 years of riding, I HAVE MY DREAM BIKE, and I built most of it myself. I guess all those years of chopping paid off.
