Nice looking rig! I agree Pitchy, I like the old Evo a lot.
I been thinking about putting a fat tire FL front on mine too.

I don't know much about Harleys but one thing for sure.....the owners are universally anal about cleanliness with dedicated maintenance to their toys.

You look good on that Harley Pitchy .....smoking a square and ready to ride off into the sunset .-----6

Is that a "Fatboy"? I like the look just fine.

Is that a reflection in the primary case? Hope you get some riding weather soon. Really boogery storms here last night.

Yep it`s a reflection, looks terrible in that picture.
I`m not sure what model it is for sure I`ll have to ask him, I thought it was a soft tail.
It`s been repainted ect...

Oh man that's sick Pitchy!
I love the look. Gotta love the old cigar tube shocks with the single saddle.
Sounds awesome. The older the Harley, the better they sound.
All that said, you hurt me bud, there is still a LOT of snow in my yard. Got a couple inches last night. Gonna be a while before I get the old softail out. :D

I'm gonna let you in on a secret bud, I'm a fair weather rider. There, I said it.
I never get mine out early cause the roads are a mess, with dirt, holes, and salt. I usually don't keep it out late in the fall either, but that's because it's crowding hunting season more than cold.
Didn't know you were a chopper guy Pitchy. I had you pegged as an FL/FLH kinda guy.
I have an FX Softail, skinny front tire, kinda raked out a little. Now I'm getting the urge to put an FL front end on it with a real fat front tire. Kind of the Exile Cycles look.
Doubt I will do anything.
Money pit. :D

Guess that`s what am too anymore though I have fired it up in the winter and spun around in the snow especially when I had the side car on it.
My dream bike would be a panhead chopper, ridged frame and long front end.
I have a couple pics of a couple of my choppers I`ll see if I can dig them out of PB and post them.

Haha that's awesome bud! Used to keep mine in the garage so I'd start it a few times a winter.
Now it's in my dad's cellar. If I light that puppy up down there, they'll never see their cats again. :D
I do start it to get it out. There is a ramp on the stairs with an ATV winch on a gantry over the door. Ride it on the ramp, winch it up level, ride it out the door. Comes in the same way. It's so low it doesn't have enough breakover clearance to go in and down the ramp.
