[QUOTE="69ST, post: 172242, member: 5"] Can't really blame you for leaving the paint as-is and not doing more with the chrome. Those can be tackled later and the chrome is easy...just pricey, especially those HL ears. The bike looks really good, the paint still clean, intact & vibrant enough to look fresh, at least in photos. IOW, it looks like a fresh restoration in the above photo. Take my word for it, that's saying something.(y) Funny thing about the HD race...back when your bike was new, you'd have had a chance of actually winning, on engine power. That was the dreaded AMF era; those bikes were often seen dead on the side of the road...in a puddle of oil.:ROFLMAO: As for the vintage photos, I think we all lost a lot.
