Hey turds, My name is Danny, and I have been riding my 1989 Softail for almost about 10 YEARS!!!! P.S. I'm 26!!!! Do the math jerks. My dad and I decided to get me on two wheels shortly after my brother passed away, kind of a bonding thing I guess. My pops scoured the local cycle trader for a while and came across a Triumph, we bought it for like, $600 and soon realized I was too big for it, and that Triumphs are for fags!!! So we got the Harley instead, we traded off the trump to a friend, in exchange for the rake job on the Softail. BEST IDEA EVER.We then put on two-over fork tubes.
So during the past ten years of owning the bike, My pops and I have modified it many times to fit our ideas, I have had a ton of bars,fat-bobs,and now a sporty tank,drag pipes,now fishtails,swapped over to a jockey-shift, lowered it(too much), put a set of forward controls...among other stupid shit.
I have had this bike for a very long time, and have ridden it long and hard, I have done the Laughlin River Run for many years, until it became a fag fest/Bro-deo, I hit Smoke out West #1, and have ridden to EDR #3,I rode to the Chopmeet, Bash, and I have also been to most So-Cal events worth going to. I love my bike, and I ride it hard!!!!
Specs:
Year & Make- 1989 Harley Davidson Softail (Evo Softails are for gaylords, I hear)
Handmade parts:
Handle bars- flipped around drag bars
Jockey shifter- Twisted square-stock bent up at friends Hot rod shop.
Sissy-Bar- Same as Jockey shifter, Made at the Homie Wizards house.
Paint- Has been done too many times to count, half by pops in front yard,
The other half done by myself with Rattle cans (Thanks for the sinus problems)
Side mount mirror- Dad had a great idea of using an old signal mount WORKS TITS
Side mount speedo- Me and pops cut a gay ass tweak bar in half and had it machined out to accommodate a shitty mini speedo ALSO WORKS TITS
Side bag- Bought off an old club guy as a set, split the set with a friend, adapted the bag to mount on a Home Depot sponsored mounting system...the set up is tough as nails!!! (could use a new bag though HINT HINT)
Seat- Hand made from flat steel from the local steel yard, I bent this fucker myself in a vise and almost ripped my sternum!!! P.S. I have put thousands of miles in on this seat, I even rode 13 Hrs In a day on it to Smoke out West #1....my butthole fell asleep.
Other Important Shit:
-The bike has a 150mm. rear tire, and I have had the pulley machined down to fit a stronger thinner Buell Belt, being that I have snapped TWO of the older wider weaklings.
-My friend Wizard rewired my bike, relocating the relays under the tank, the wiring harness has only what it needs, Start, Kill, Headlight, Taillight, and Brake. signals and horn don't make the girls horny.
-I had already mentioned the rake job, I don't know how many degrees, but I can guarantee the rake and trail is fucked up.....form before function sissies....2" over forks by Frank.
-The bike has been lowered... too much, I tried to be all bad-sass like the picture of Jason Phares and glide my hand across the ground...WHAM!!! My frame caught the ground and I high sided at about 20 M.P.H. lets just say I saw a few extra fireworks on that 4th of July!!!
-Motor has been hoped up a little, its fast enough to beat your nightster with upside down bars...I guess that's braggable...
-And some shit I can't remember.
I have been able to do a lot of the fabrication work myself, and even more with help from many good friends. I am able to say that I can weld, pinstripe, paint, do mild metal fabrication, and basic electrical, along with light mechanics, thanks to this bike and my friends. And of course the person who gave me the opportunity to ride, my pops.
Special Thanks: My dad, for putting me on a death machine in the first place, Tony B. for the rake job R.I.P, Gary Peacemaker at High Desert Performance, for making my bike faster, lighter, stronger...and keeping me running, Mike G. "Wizard, for all the tweaker session in the garage that gave me my wiring, sporty mounts sissy bar, and fender mount, Hot Rod Aaron, for all your tools and know-how, Mc Chop, for all the lame ideas we shoot back and forth until 5a.m. because we drank too much Thai Tea,and Finally, last and least important, DEADBEATMOTHERFUCKERS...for being fucking idiots who let me be their LEADER!!!!! haha.......sorry if I forgot you, it's your fault for not trying to be relevant enough to mention!!! hahaha
