1974 xlh 70's hot rod build!

beautiful bike man

Thanks guys! I think I'm going to mess with the pipes a little and make some pullback bars while I'm still riding it. Then this winter I'm going to go through the motor and do a little molding...take it up a notch :-)

A few decent pictures in town tonight




Still having battery issues though...

That's very similar to a bike that's been floating around in my head.

Guess we'll call this the last ride of the year... Time to tear the motor down. At least it stopped in a good photo spot? Haha

Good stuff.

Those pics are like Sportster calendar material man. Sorry it's broke, but it looks damn good sitting there.

It's probably not really broke... I think most of the oil is coming through the valve guides. But, if I'm going to go ahead and go through the heads all the way, then I'm going to clean the bores up and do new pistons/rings too....

A little random sorry but how long are your tubes?

They are 12 over... I got some 14 over that I'm probably gonna put in this winter.

That's awesome! The stance is killer!
