    Have you thought about going a little more radical with the paint, or do you like simplicity when it comes to paint?

    I guess I lie what feels right for the bike and personality. Before I put the paint job that I did on my bike, I was going to have the tank airbrushed with a really cool skull, that I had custom drawn by an airbrush artist. After seeing the finished product of my bike, I am really glad that I did not do the air brushing. I think that this paint job fits my bike. JMO

    I was just looking at an 84 FL to buy that was in flat black. Normally I do not care for flat black, but it is starting to grow on me, I would have left that on that particular bike.

    We dod too, but the problem is that people from Minnesota like fish so much, that Sushi would never make it back to the water, we would just eat it. Except for me that is.

    Yes I have a 97 Dyna convertible. I ride almost every day weather permitting. I will have to take a couple and post them. It is almost the same as the day I bought it.

    So I have to ask, what kind of carburetor are you going to use? If you decide to go CV I can walk you through making it work on your older sporty.
