This past weekend Sandy and I traveled up to New Hampshire to celebrate the wedding of some good friends of ours. It was a beautiful ceremony and a great time. On the way home we had time to take a slight detour…
Yeah, I know this is not a Sportster but this is my next project. This 1992 Harley Davidson 80″ Evolution motor was replaced with a 96″ S&S motor in my 1992 Heritage Softail many years ago. It has been sitting on the…
