freethefly 6 #1 May 29, 2009 I've been looking to buy another Harley since selling my 91 Fatboy back in 2003. She's the one that I got a 142mph ticket on. I built her with 1.940 intakes, porting and polishing, SS super E, Crane 306 B grind, adjustable pushrods,a Dyna S ignition/Accell coils. I also swapped in taller 1st and 2nd gears and a suicide shift. Matted the motor and tranny with a 3" BDL belt drive. I also put a kicker on her just because I like the way they look Anyway, I'm getting off track... I saw this bike 3 weeks ago online at Premier Auto and Cycle sales in Carthage, MO.. I knew at first sight that she was mine. I looked at many FLSTFs, but this one had to be the one. So, now here I am, 4 Harleys in 30 years. The last 3 I sold for one reason or another. This is my last H-D I'll buy. Unless, I come across a Knuck for the right price I wasn't able to get the tags on her in time today as I was busy doing a top end on a Twin 88 at the H-D Tech center (just finished the first semester. 4.0 average) but, tomorrow... I rideP.S. I just might keep this one stock. I already have my stroked Norton for the high speed fun."...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

normiss 851 #4 May 29, 2009 Not a "B" motor fan myself...but she is a pretty sled. Welcome back. Spence, you paying attention???? (he's gonna be angry all over again, trust me) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freethefly 6 #5 May 29, 2009 I really didn't care for them, myself until I started working on them. I was originally looking to pick up a Shovel basketcase or another 1340.

normiss 851 #6 May 29, 2009 I still crave a shovel. baaaaaaad. Had a couple of Evo's that served me very well. Love them all, right:?!?!?!?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freethefly 6 #7 May 29, 2009 Yup, gotta love them all. Had a 1980 Sportster Roadster for awhile back in 81-82. Then built the rigid Norton, 83 to present. Put together a 75 Shovel FLH, 86-89. Bought my first Fatboy new in early 91. Had to sell her in 2003. I guess the Twin 88 had to be the next step."...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

jdthomas 0 #10 May 29, 2009 mark Hamm Nice ride you got there and man i am so proud of you for going to school. I know how hard it can be to go back to school. I also want to thank you for going to the FSCC Harley school, I like to see the school grow. Now if they had only had built in Ft Scott and Not Pittsburg then that would have been great.. I could have got you a place to live cheap. Joewww.greenboxphotography.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pokerstar 0 #11 May 29, 2009 Dude, I fear for your safety on that thing. I will be by this weekend to protect you from yourself and take it off of your hands...... Sweet looking ride! Enjoy!Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber. --- The Dude --- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freethefly 6 #12 May 31, 2009 Hey Joe, school is going great. Got a 4.0 average. Kind of odd being back in school and being the oldest in the class. Gives me the step-up as I have been building and riding Harleys longer than the majority of the class have been alive. Not doing bad here.

freethefly 6 #13 May 31, 2009 Just in case you did happen to drop by to protect me... sorry, I was busy risking life... cranked near 500 miles on her friday and saturday. Still got today to put another a few more on the odometer "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."
