About the bike.

So, you already know the make and model, but know very little about the bike itself. I will post some pictures on this post when I have access to a computer with them.


The bike is black with red pinstripe. The logo on the tank is two tiered, Harley on top and Davidson on the bottom, with white lettering and surrounded by red. I looks good, but I think eventually I would like to get the tank, and fenders painted a matte black and put the well known Harley shield decal on the tank. I might even see about powder-coating some of the chrome pieces (I really like black bikes, and it helps cut down on rust).

The handlebars are a little too far aft, and those will need to be shifted forward. Also, it has mid-controls, and those need to be changed to forward controls so I don't look so damn silly, I'm 6'6".

It's got a couple extra chrome pieces with the "live to ride, ride to live" slogan. I don't really care at the moment, but I think I will replace those. It's just seen everywhere. It has a few scratches here and there, nothing to worry about. It did come with the bags and a HUGE windshield which is perfect for me, but it's going to go in the summer.

It has what I believe to be screaming eagle exhaust in it since it is just a little bit louder than stock pipes, but they have the EPA stamp on them so no worries legal wise. I will be getting a K&N air filter, just because they are so much better. I only ordered a replacement air filter and not the kit so I will post if that works out or not. It still has the stock air cover, which I actually like, so that will stay, might look for a new one though that is stock because this one is scratched a bit.

The kickstand needs to be fixed. It looks like the tip broke off, so they welded a piece on to extend it, but never ground down the sharp edges, so it scratches the hell out of the pavemet. I will need to find the kickstand piece one of my brothers gave me.

Finally figured out how the check the oil (will put that in another post) and it is almost as black as the bike, so I will be leaving the bike parked until I can change the oil next week, no point in killing the engine just because I want to ride.

When I got the bike she had right around 24,500 miles. She also already had her cam bearings replaced in '01, one of the big problems with the '99 model Twim Cam.
Well I think that's all for now.
