    Hey Folks,

    Iv'e heard it all about the girls bike! Sentimental first harley. Been sitting for 11 years, garaged 99% of the time. Valve guide on front cylinder is blown I believe is the only trouble.

    Trying to figure what to do with it. Serial numbers all match and pretty much stock. Restore or trick it out?

    Any Ideas,

    Iron

    Trick it out,save the stock parts...don't chop it up so you could go back to stock later....stock parts for Shovels and Ironheads are starting to get a little hard to find....

    The chobber 1 was an awesome bike, Chucktx. Ironwolf should take a page or two from your book.

    I was fortunate enough to see it on a few different stages of its build & when it was done the pics here don't do it any justice
