00' 1400 Love it and ride it everywhere. I've had two other big boys, shadow and vstar. Both were great but this one is a beast! :bow:

my work in progress. found it a few weeks ago in Atlanta. its been sitting in a basement since 01' along with a full tank of what used to be gas. since this pic I've put on some new mufflers (the bike didn't like it free flowing, tried several setups, found great combo but wouldn't ever believe what it ended up being, i work at an automotive exhaust shop so...), removed the air boxes, installed a jet kit, removed the entire compression relief system, new friction disks, and replaced stock clutch springs with Designers springs.

Welcome aboard.

Keep us up to date on what you are doing.
I can't seem to win the lottery. I think I have used up all of my good luck riding motorcycles.

currently working on making new seat pans and making the rear seat/fender pivot, when not in use, to be used as a front backrest/fender.
