So- one month to the day and nearly 3 thousand miles, the shovelhead I bought has a new home. I originaly planned to do a little work to it here and there and bomb around town. The only problem is that I love long road trips. I do not love them at 55-60mph, mirrors vibrating so bad as to be worthless, donating various nuts and bolts to the highway gods and kidneys that scream "what the f*ck!?" after 4-5 hours out. A search was on for something new. Turns out a bud has a bro that knows a guy that's looking for a shovel. He has something that he thinks I'd like. So I cruise over to his pad and find a 1985 Tour Glide. Evo, 5spd, belt drive, full tour-pack kit, air ride suspension....even a radio. Comes with full set of extra hard bags, Electra Glide batwing fairing and a spare front end. The scoot has a S&S Super "E", K&N filter, Samson shotgun pipes, SE ignition and more goodies. I kind of stared at it for a minute (not really my style of bike- I'm in my late twenties haha) and decided to take it out for a spin. Less than a mile out I was sold. Tons of power, smooth and capable of pulling 100 with ease. Now I own a geezer glide.
I plan on putting the Electra Glide fairing on, duals with fishtails and a few other small things but I'm enjoying it as is for the time being.
Here are the pics
Needs a little cleaning, nothing too bad.
Kids love this windshield! Getting removed asap, haha.
Yay for 10.5-1 comp. My starter loves it!
