            @natehate Shovel is looking awesome! Is that an 18 or 19 rear you're running? That deep burgundy paint job looks the shit!

              more of the finish welding was done by jason as well so it looks good

                  back in the day all we had was a mig…..  just need to learn to weld with it. (i'm not that good but manage, and "big jobs" I let my buddies handle...)

                    @natehate My '75 XLCH is a similar colour. It's bone stock in this photo. I think AMF decided to go a bit crazy when they got their hands on HD. I picked the bike up for a steal just over a year ago with a title and 6000km on the clock.

                        @natehate Hard tail, 18/21 wheels, hamburger front drum, K model fork lowers, 2 piece bars, split rockers, I want to make a split tank as well….the list seems endless. I'm taking bits on inspiration from Swing Garage and Iron Chain...a Japanese Style Chopper basically. I like the idea of running a Posa fuel injector, Swing seem to have the secret recipe for running one! You should check it out, they look nuts! @modelk53 on instagram.

                            Agreed, but so are oil tanks, I can't run a stock horseshoe because of the battery. It's kickstart only so I could get away running a lithium one but I would still need to fabricate a custom oil tank, if I split the tanks I could run oil in one gas in the other, which would open up the back end of the frame a bit.

                                  I started him and my daughter when they were about 3 sitting on my lap on a Vespa around the neighborhood. Pretty much increasing distance since then. Formthis trip we went due west from Chicago to the Mississippi river. From there up the river to where Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois merge and then came back today. 400 miles in 24 hours. Good time had by all.

                                        I've just had my Thruxton serviced after it spent most of last year gathering dust. Whilst it was being fettled, I got the garage to bolt on the fairing.

                                        The bike's running a lot better after the service. There were four recall notices that, err, I hadn't got around to sorting, one of which was a new engine map.

                                        I've got a few more bits and pieces to bolt on. I'm currently trying to get a Rizoma licence plate holder and wiring kit so that I can install the sexy LEDs that are lying around my apartment.

                                          Looks good Graham.

                                          The more I see and hear the Thruxton R , the more I wish I had gone for it over my R Nine T.
