My first HD was a twin to yours, a 71 police special. Mine was a little worse for wear and had black rims but other than that... I even put the kicker on it too. Electric only? No way!
They are the last of the old style H-D's with clean handlebars. Way back when I had my Sportster and later my blend bike I wanted either a '70 or '71 because I don't like handlebar switch boxes, the 72 front disk or'73 up swing arm. I bought and restored this '70 in '92, finished in '94.
I've always loved black wheels. I have an extra set of wheels for this bike (one is already black), I'm thinking of making up a nice black set to put on.
Been drawing as long as I can remember and into bikes since 1967. I do other kinds of art but enjoy painting and drawing motorcycle related stuff the most. I do commissioned artwork and sell limited edition prints.

Hard to imagine owning a bike without a Kicker!
do i see an FXR sitting there ready for action?
nice combo, best of both worlds
Yes, but the FXR belongs to the misses. It's a sweet riding bike and she absolutely loves it.
I have to get my Sportster done. Then maybe I'll be able to keep up with her. Putting the old FLH on a diet has helped some.
