Carl...when I saw what you did to the bags on your Velvet bike by adding the design on top of the bags, you made the oem paint job look like a custom paint...I decided to incorperate your idea into this bike....I followed the paint scheme on the tank onto the bag covers and it changed the whole look of the bike, thanks for the idea...  I also change the hinges on the bags to open like the tourers so I don't have to get off the bike to open them...the windshield is a little higher then I wanted at 10" I would rather be at 8"...feels like a new bike...thanks for the comments...  ...fellow member FenderMender (Charlie) help layout the paint scheme and his son did the actual paint job.

I figured I'd bump this thread, my wife puts alot of work into this each month and hardly gets a viewing, besides, that my bike and I'm proud of the work I put into it ...maybe we should list the calendar under some political B.S. or some gay BS thats all that seems to get any attention around here anymore...

All you have to do Don is put Harley in the Topic Line and everybody will take a look.
She took a great photo, and she is a fine Valkyrie Champion.
Money shot as Joe Says.
Nothing to be sad about on this day.

Don, Couldn't agree with you more! I miss like hell not seeing and riding with you and Tracy. It's been too long. Remember the Civil War reneactors in Nathan Bedford Forrest state park? That was a great day.

Thanks guys...it warms the old heart to see the little woman get some appreciation for her efforts.....I guess after she said I don't have a bike for the calendar, would you please wash your red and black and take some pic's for me..and I spent 2 hrs. detailing it and taking pic's I got a little annoyed seeing her efforts go to the 2nd page with only 47 hits....so being a quite kinda guy and so good natured I figured I say something..  ...thanks for the responses much appreciated...

Don,
Couldn't agree with you more! I miss like hell not seeing and riding with you and Tracy. It's been too long.

You're right Paul, that was a great ride and the Civil War reneactors were the topping on the cake for me....we're thinking of maybe making the VOA ride-in down in Maggie Valley for one night, perhaps you can make it there and we can hook up...been over a year now since we've seen you....take care and we'll keep you in our thoughts...

Good work Tracy, you do got some talent.
I always look, but seldom comment on the pictures, mainly cause I can't get a good shot of MGM for one of the calendars.

Thanks for the work you do on the calendar Tracy. I always enjoy seeing who's bike you pick. Don, you did a great job on the bike and the bags do look fantastic! But I just think that you may have a little too much influence with the selection committee.
