Time to choose the 2nd V-Twin Forum Ride of the Month for 2017.

Which of these fine examples of old Harley iron deserves to be the next V-Twin Forum Ride of the Month. We have a classic Shovelhead and a nicely done Iron head XL. Which one will be the victor of the 2nd V-Twin Forum Ride of the Month event for 2017?

i bought this as a winter project and told the wife would fix it up and sell and now she knows I'm not selling?. The bike was not running when I picked it up and it had 24320 miles on it. Just finished this project, has been a 2 year project. Had the frame black powder coated along with everything that was chrome is now powder coated black. Sent out the cam case and primary case powder coated flat wrinkle black. Used the stock handlebars. Picked up the battery today and looking forward to hearing it run this weekend. Always a great feeling when you complete a project and look back at it.

Carb on my first Ironhead could occasionally be found dangling from the cable. The SOB would vibrate right off while blasting down the road, along with a plethora of other things depending on the day...
I wouldn't be half the wrench I am today if it weren't for those Ironheads of my youth.

The 74" stroker that broke my leg (kicking it) was still one of the hottest bike's I've ever owned to this day.
