at this point I had changed the sigs , the pipes , the bars
then tires (yokohama's were the cruizer choice back then)custom seat ( I made it) harley battery box , new pipes(staggered duels) flat bars on my home made rizers , forward controls ( on this 1 I used chain from the peg to the actuater arm...hee hee hee ) , chrome everything , how do u like them tassle's YUK .
then a different tank , a diff front fender , I chopped up a harley sport bob rear to fit , home made rear pillion , tear drop tool box , Zepplin turn sigs , stuffed all the electrics into the air box , turned the air pipes out from the air box an' put on some k&n's, re-jetted , chrome specialties guages,etc etc etc, then I painted this one a real eye catchin DONNY OSMOND PURPLE , or so it was named by my buds ( that paint lasted about a week b4 I re-painted it )
then I added the very cool , very much wanted , Andy's custom bike TRADEMARK . TM . lol . The IRON CROSS TAILIGHT . ha ha ha . too funny . O ya...this one I painted a more conservative Patriot Blue .
AND BEFORE THAT....I MESSED AROUND WITH CARS....I THOUGHT THEY WERE SAFER......OOPS....NOT SO....
