    Looks better in the Mag
    And its the 3rd article and the last on the 88 to 106 build.
    this build they show upgrading to the SE hydraulic cam plate and the S&S 585 EZ start cams
    Been trying to say for years. Hydraulic cam plate over gears. But a lot of folks are sold on the gears.
    Even tried to Twist Old Chucktx arm on it when he went with gears.

    Lot better setup with hydraulic cam tensioners and the upgraded oil pump
    Very easy to work with.

    Problem is with these kind of bikes is that the designer/builder has 1) too much money to throw at it, 2) too many ideas to utilize and 3) probably won't ride it.

    These builds are ALWAYS way over the top, usually end up looking like caricatures of real motorcycles and are often unridable in the real world. In other words, they are UNREAL!

    You could say that to the builder and he would think you are complimenting him! :roflmao:

    Did you hear what the dude does for a living.
    He's a finicial advisor.
    Had a uncle in Atlanta that was a finicial advisor.
    He had more money than he knew what to do with.
    Even got into buying land and developing it and building houses on it and makin even tons of more money.

    It was something for him to do.

    YOu can call folks that. I used to. But not anymore.

    But just because you didn't go to college and become something really good.
    There is no need to knock them.

    Just like Obama wants to make the rich pay more in taxes than the poorer folks.
    That just ain't right.

    It would be saying I will punish you if you go to school, git some learning and make something out of yerself.

    :roflmao::roflmao:How do you know I didn't go to college and become sumtin reel good:roflmao:

    I think it's idiotic to build a motorcycle that you can't ride....don't give a chit about how much money you make or have....JMHO of Course

    I also know people with High School Diploma's that are head and shoulders above a lot of College/University Graduates intelligence wise...and guys that are filthy rich with only high school diplomas:cheers:

    Cause you wouldn't care if somebody threw their money away or not.
    Why have anybody tell you what you can do with your money.

    He goes and enters it in bike shows. Guess its what he wants to do

    Know a dude a little older than me that rides Harleys.
    He ain't a long distance rider no more.
    Smoked too much and is on oxygen.

    He had a INdy shop to build a bike with the parts he wanted, and or got.
    He has been entering it in Bike rallys for a few years.
    He has won several too.
    He has like 4 or 5 bikes.
    The bike he enters in shows he don't ride.
    Its his bag, I don't care.

    There's no way I'd hire anybody to build me a custom bike.
    I want go git one from Harley and try to keep it close enough to factory so if I ride and have a problem I can pull into a Harley Dealer and git it fixed and be on my way.

    And the Road Glide the dude built , I wouldn't want in my little garage.

    No way for me to know what is in the dudes head when he build the bike.
    Guess it was a vision he had.

    to him it was beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
    Know some other folks made money off his doing the build. That is also what makes the world go round.
