I'm selling mine. Let someone else throw more money into the beast. Not a lot more I can do without tearing up the motor.

My only mod was to blow up the engine in the Caprice.....I was successful and sent it to it's grave. Apparently doing donuts in a parking lot for 15 minutes doesn't constitue "warming up" your car. Now I know that....and I am much wiser.

Just putting in a new cam in my bagger and I got some slip ons at a flea market. I have to wait to put the cam in my bike until it gets warmer since I don't have any heat or electricity in my garage.

Big mod to the Road King. Added a Marlin's fork lock cover clock. Now when I'm in the garage drinking beer, I know what time it is!

Dang camera's actin up. It'll be at least Tuesday before I can get the pic's right. As they are... either too dark, fuzzy, or suffering from motion sickness.

Mods look nick on the bike though!

Normally we break out the leather and ride all winter here in Arizona, but with the amount of rain the past few weeks I am installing pontoons on the bike. A pic from our 2/5 ride attached.
