2 week delay. CNC machine went down slowed the shop up. They ask if it would put me in a bind . I said it was fine so two extra weeks.

Retro fit

The Dealer that will be installing mine has done custom installs on other wet heads. In those cases they were refitting older HD cars to newer wet heads

Smitty, I'm very interested in the older retro fit. Do you know if they make their own mounts or if there is a specific kit for older TLE on a '18 or '19 touring bike?

The cost goes up. But Experience teaches us that . The Painter called yesterday, he works for Hannigan. Like many good painter he wants to make it look it's best, with the bike. We went over some options to make the paint even better. The out come is the bottom will be black. Top Black hills gold with Black Quartz panels to match the bike . The chrome seam cover will be removed and filled pin striped to match the bike pin stripes. The extra colors pin stripes filling added 905$ to the cost. So total cost of all paint work will come to $2,000 Wife agreed better to just get it over with now and not have to deal with any other paint latter. 43 years ago when we were married just paying rent was hard to keep up with on Army pay.

Still looks like Sept 15 to finish build and ship.

Another 10 day delay. The Black hills Gold paint had to come from HD. It took longer than expected to get it. I had some what expected that and was going to get it myself ahead of time.

Should have stuck with that plan. So now looking at Sept 25 as the build day.

 

[Smitty901]

Call came yesterday. it is built and painted being crated to ship 24th or 25th. Now I wonder if the shipping company will delay it.

love that color

Like most colors it looks different depending on lighting . Looking forward to Payton's first ride in it.

The frame was attached to the bike Yesterday. tech was getting the wiring done. Should be ready soon.

 

[Smitty901]

This journey is almost over. Was in town this morning and saw the tech out riding it. He is either making adjustments or on a joy rider. Either way the end is near.

 

[Smitty901]

It is DONE. Took of for a 150 miles of playing with. Very happy with it.
