A Little Closure

Here's the '79 Ironhead; finally finished. I finally went with a 70's FX style tank with a re-located petcock, Roadster bars, baffeled drags, oldschool air cleaner, chopped rear fender, custom tail-light made out of a round trailer light, plus a fine rattle-can hotrod black paint job! Re-built a set of fox gas shocks, and re-built the front forks. After fixing the usual Ironhead problems like vibration caused broken wires, shorted coil and screwed-up keihin butterfly, I got it running pretty good!~
I call her VISCERAL, as she vibrates, rattles and clanks, makes a lot of noise, and is a beast to drive- I LOVE IT!
