Good riding. . . . between rain storms.
@MachIII welcome to the site! That is all white sand at the beach right?

Wow if ever there was a calendar cover picture that is it right there.
I truly don't know where to look first. The bike is terrific , the picture composition superb and you're Wife is very beautiful . What a combination
You're a lucky fella Mach
Hehe, actually not. It's a pile of shell sand stored along the road, used to rise the ph value in the norwegian rivers that was destroyed by acid rain from England in the 70's/ 80's.

Thank you very much @peanut, that was really great words!
Have been together with my wife for 30 years now, but the xs only for 8-months, so I'm still in a learning progress regarding the bike...

I have a theory that they are really Aliens that came to Earth thousands of years ago to conquer us.
sometimes I wonder if it is something I said or done ......the rest of the time I wonder if its something I haven't said or done ....
But thank god for them anyway

Here is my 78. Just put the finishing touches on it this week.
I like it. What tank did you use?
Any issues with the pods? Most find that style (pleated) to be hard to tune..and opt for the Uni-pods (foam).

The tank is a 3.3 gallon paughco porkster/mustang style with a deep tunnel. I had no issue with those pods. I never heard the bike run before, I put rings and a cam chain in it, set the carb up as close as possible to what the carb guide on this site said and it started on the third kick. With minor adjustments it is running perfectly. I was more worried about the cheap slide in baffles in the ends of the exhaust, but no issue with those so far, but internally it is all stock.
Sweet... happy riding!

Here's my chop I've been working on lately, there are still a few bits to do but its almost done, standard engine with HHB PMA, Chain tensioner and Pamco ignition, also added the Harley Wide Glide front end to this one and a lot of new engine parts from Jerry at Heiden Tuning.
