| + | * After collecting the parts, (mostly various year take-off parts that were no longer needed by the sellers who were upgrading their bikes) with some being stock ‘94 and some other years, the bike was stripped and a replacement frame was ordered from the MoCo. | ||
| + | * The engine was upgraded with new 1200 cylinders, Wiseco pistons and S1 Lightning heads. Two of the rear engine mounting lugs were broken during the wreck. So, it was taken back to the independent bike shop to weld the engine lugs and install the new cylinders, pistons and heads. This created a stronger engine with stronger mounting lugs. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |The head/neck was cut off & sent to H-D to order a new frame. \\ They created a new frame with the same serial number. \\ Many of the original parts were reused during the rebuild including this rear wheel & tire.| | ||

| + | * **Speedometer Housing**: an FXR speedometer with a remote trip odometer reset cable, a chrome cover for the back of the normal speedo housing and an exhaust tip from an FLH exhaust. The chrome cover was cut to fit the speedometer and then inserted into the exhaust tip. The speedometer was placed in the mounting location and then JB Weld was used on the chrome cover to hold it in place. The idea was to lock the mounting bracket inside the exhaust tip so that when applied to the back of the speedo, it would hold in place. | ||

| + | |The speedo housing serves a similar function as the riser cover on\\ the Custom model Sportsters (to hide the cables to the speedo)|The Arlen Ness front fender was custom painted to match the tank\\ color and also the R/W/B theme of the rocker boxes.| | ||
