I inherited a 1983 Harley Davidson Roadster XLS when my father died, I was 3. The bike has since become my most valued posession and i am in the process of restoring/revamping it. PHAT-BOY 07-23-2003, 06:37 AM Welcome to the boards. I too inherited a bike, from my uncle, and I know what you are talking about. In the restoration process right now as well, only mine is a 72 Honda CL 350. Enjoy the boards and stop back often. What part of Iowa you from?

That's one of my all time favorite bikes! I want to build one as a street legal vintage racer look. harrigancan 07-27-2003, 01:49 PM Welcome to the forum. Good luck with your restoration, I'm sure you will enjoy the work almost as much as the finished product. Mongo 07-30-2003, 03:08 AM Welcome to bikerforums. Any restoration project can be fun, but yours seems really great since there's some major history with the bike. Good luck to you, and I hope we can all share in the rebuilding of your dad's bike. Take care. FatBoyRider 07-30-2003, 03:46 AM I found a picture of a bike like your's that a guy is selling.....they are really nice bike's !! Hopefully your's will look this good when your done with her...... http://www.motorcities.com/contents/01AMB312543082.html (http://) good luck... FBR :cool: PHAT-BOY 07-30-2003, 06:27 AM Hey, nice job on the link FBR, nice to visualize what he's working on. FYI...Gotta paste the link into a window. Angry Hampster, you get them pipes you found?? Angry Hampster 07-30-2003, 07:32 AM sorry for the late response and thank you for the link. that bike in the link is EXACTLY like mine, same paint and all. the only difference i spot is the backrest, mine is just a simple chrome one. those are also the stock pipes on the bike. as for my pipes, my bike is in storage at my uncle's house in tennessee, where i used to live, because we have simply no room for it up here. im buying them this winter and putting them on when i go down. TobyOne 10-07-2003, 07:11 PM Welcome aboard and enjoy the work on the bike. Sorry you dad isn't around to help with restoration. Guess he'll always be there in your heart. |
