I had a 76 XLH 1000, it set off all the car alarms in the parkade of the block I lived in whenever I started it. At least it was electric start! My XLCR is "Full choke on, kick x 3, choke off, ignition on, kick it till it starts, your right leg falls off, or it launches you over the handlebars into a crumpled mess in the flora & fauna outside the bar your drinkin' at"
After too many wobbly pops its hard to remember the exact order of things...
The AMF years were dark times and pretty much every bike needed to be re-wired to actually work, but when bored out, the old Ironhead motors were absolute beasts!
Gotta say, the Springer Softtail is one of the sexiest modern bikes ever made and would be my bike of choice should I ever win a lottery, or if any of the crazy gods exist that appear on this site and blessed me with a '37 Knucklehead, I would be in heaven!!! I don't care how fast it would go, I would be stylin'!
BTW - I couldn't take it anymore, I replayed 0.85 last night and pulled the trigger on 0.90 today before I went to work. I am not finished it yet but I gotta award you an extra large slice of Raisin Pie for the update Bro, it is fucking awesome!!!
