FXR work in progress

This is my Uncle's '82 FXR. I've been slacking hard on getting it done but here is some of the progress. I'm motivating myself to finish it by halting all work on my bike until this one is finished.

rootbeer shovelhead

i really like this bike. it was built by one of the guys on the shovelhead.us board. he has some more pics here.

clear cover

i know this bike has appeared on a lot of blogs already, and i should get a late pass but i don't care. i only know of a few friends who check out my blog and they won't complain.

i love the clear cover over the primary chain on this bike. it's awesome. seriously awesome.



check out the whole bike here - at halfmoon garage.

zzchop knows what's up. he posted this ad recently:

kickin' brass

i bought this brass kicker pedal at laconia a year ago. i was so excited about putting it on. i wanted to install it at the camp site but decided to wait till i got home. when i did install it, it just didn't look right on my bike for some reason. so it sat at the bottom of my tool box for over a year. now i'm shipping it to a friend in australia. i hope it looks better on his bike.

nice night

sorry these pics are so blurry. we had a weekend of unseasonably warm and sunny weather so i went out for a nice evening ride. stopped at a stewart's to take a few pics.

AMF

I found these on Shovelhead.us.

bicentennial kid

when i first started looking to buy a motorcycle, i was hoping to score a 1976 honda cb550. the reason was two fold. one, my dad had one when i was little and would take me to school on it. two, that was the year i was born. instead, a buddy of mine sold me one of his yamaha xs650s. it was a 1975. i still have it, it's a great bike. my next bike was a 1975 shovelhead. i still have that as well and hope to have it forever. don't know why i wrote all that. the point of this post is to show this sticker. i don't have one of these. original ones go for a hefty amount on ebay right now. i like the slogan, "great american freedom machine". i always make my fiancé chuckle when i refer to my bike as my "freedom machine".
