Ray is of a more substantial build though..... and we'll leave it at that.
Oh I see, three springs better than one.

Re: Final Pics of the FLH

It's a 77 Baza, looked a bit like this when I was riding it; pic taken autumn 2001 IIRC, East Midlands Airport when I was Region 10 Rep. We'd just done a cheque presentation to the Air Ambulance; note a much younger looking Budgie behind me!

As you're probably aware Baza, airport roads aren't subject to Road Traffic Act laws... well they weren't then anyway! So we made the most of it!

Re: Final Pics of the FLH

Having seen the bike in the flesh I can say it is very nice indeed. A credit to Ray. The seat is great being much lower than my Tyne Bridge dual seat. Think I might look at altering mine.

Re: Final Pics of the FLH

Great looking job.
I didn't think I liked FLs, or Shovels when it comes down to it, but I like that.
Suits the new paint job too, down to the air filter cover..
