no, wasn't me.  it is partially black, going into white primer now though.  and not fat-tired just yet.   ;)  i am going to make my own thread and introduction so i won't mess in yours though.

cool that you are going to be at the cruise; i have GOT to hear that thing.  and i could probably use some of your sources and resources.

low-okie, been going to every one except last year, didn't cruise much since the setup was new and the EFI wasn't quite right. Look me up at the burnouts. Got a pair of Hoosier slicks left over from year before last to finish off ;D

Looks like you have no radiator in that pic. Do you have a hood? Looks like a sweet ride.

Yes, there is a factory radiator in there. As for the hood, the wife has been on me to put it on but not ready to wrap the eye candy yet. I do have the stock hood. Can't decide whether to cut it or get a 4" cowl and modify it so the hat can get plenty of air. Ant suggestions welcome.

I have always wanted a bird catcher sticking out of the hood. Not sure how that;ll work in a rain storm tho. If you get the cowl hood, just make sure its hinged. That way you wont get so tired opening it everytime someone wants to see the bad boy. ;D

Thanks for the no hood vote. The more I get, the better for my argument. As for the top hat and rain, not a problem. Found a good deal on ebay, 200 bucks for a filter like the mud pullers use. Doesn't sound good but $100 less than BDS. It has a slip on bonnet that is water repellent. Got to test it one day when I did get caught in a rain storm. Pulled it off at the house and the filter was still dry. No pics of it on the filter, but I guess you could picture it around the element.

1983stepside, hope you can follow thru with your plans. My dream at 18 was to have a blower. Marriage and 2 kids kinda put every thing on hold. Now that they are grown and gone, I finally have it, but  we are getting to old now to really enjoy it the way we should be.
