The beginning

a while ago I've picked up this "dutch style" 1973 FLHF (?) shovel, loads of flat black and all kinds of shit covered with diamond plate and riduculous wide handlebars!
 I've been secretly working on this thing for a while now and it's starting to look half decent again! I hope I can show you some of the finished result in a month or two, so stay tuned....

How do people come up with a motorcycle like this!?? the raked billet trees really tears it apart!

got some good money for those beautiful hard bags. Did you know those thing cost over 600 euro's new!??

Don't worry, the round aircleaner is gone now! Still working on dismantling the hideous forward controls

  4. Jaaa, smaak, dat hebben de Hollanders niet! In de maat dansen kunnen ze ook niet, en ergens teveel voor betalen, relaxen en zich gedragen op feestdagen óók al niet! Om maar niet te beginnen over het verzinnen van fatsoenlijke feestnummers!
    Nou, maak er wat van, Egbert!

  5. No "lane-splitting" on that mother. Yikes. Great to see how it's improved though!
