    OK! Here we go. I'm new on this site. I use to ride a custom FX Dyna Wideglide, 1999. Sold it in '03 and moved to Australia for 3 years. Came back and decided that I wanted to rebuild a basket case. So if any of you folks out there know of such a case I would be much interested. In tact or in boxes as long as 90% of parts are there.

    3K for a basket case - I must be gettin old - remember when I bought one for a measly $150. It was painted with a paint brush to a beautiful silver that rubbed off on ya every time ya sat on it; and ya the guy even painted the seat silver. But what the heck I cut my eye teeth on that old thing and learned a lot. Never could stop the carb from leaking all over the place but it helped keep the road dirt off the back of the bike. Ain't nothing like the smell of fresh gas when your flying down the road. Couldn't take the chance of slowing down for fear the the damm thing would catch on fire.:roflmao: :roflmao:
