. I need 4 contenders for March of 2008. Rules that apply:
OK, I'll play:
Year: 2007
Model: Springer Classic FLSTSC
Eng size: 103
Transmission(5sp, 6sp etc): 6sp
Pipes: D&D Fat Cat
Seat: Mean City Cycles
Wheels: Harley Profile Laced - powder-coated hubs and rims
Accessories: Lots of chrome goodies, saddlebags, nostalgic engine guard, footboards and grips, Wild 1 9.5" Apehangers
And the story:
I wanted this model the first time I saw it and, finally, my wife got tired of hearing me say it every time I saw one on a dealer floor and told me to get it. My concept is kind of a modern version of what a 50's or 60's era hot-rodder would do with a 40's era bike. Doc in Orlando (HDMD88) did the engine build. He sent the cylinders, heads and new pistons to Baisley Hi-Performance in Oregon and then installed Woods TW6-6 cams, a Zipper air cleaner and the Fat Cat exhaust. His tune brought it in at 101 hp and 107 ft./lbs. of torque. Once I got it back from Doc, I tore it all down again and had Jim at Beyond the Paint in Augusta, GA put on the old-school hot rod flames with blue pin-striping, all done by hand. For the wheels, I loved the look of powder-coated rims and hubs with chrome spokes, but they were real expensive. I ended up having Pancake at the local indy shop (The Motorcycle Palace) tear down the wheels for me and I took the hubs, rims and pulley to Powder Coating Services, also of Augusta, for the finish. Pancake then put them back together, mounted the tires and balanced everything. Total cost of the wheels - $600 plus the new tires.
I just got it back together a couple of weeks ago and now it is time to ride it. The seating position is perfect for me and, with the extra power, it is a lot of fun to ride. Here are a couple of pictures and I hope you like it.
