Finally got around to taking some pics of my 1977 Electra Glide to post.

It's mostly stock, with a few exceptions like CV40 carb and Cycle Shack exhaust. I've focused more on polished aluminum, and black powder coat in places instead of chrome, so that's a deviation from the factory look but more to my liking. It's no hot rod, but gets the job done and is a pure joy to ride. Probably the most enjoyable in my stable.

It really is a good looking bike, exactly what a Shovel should look like. (Except it needs drag pipes!   :potstir:)

Thanks dudes! The color is House of Kolor Candy Cobalt. The guy that painted it had to get it from the UK, as it was oil based and all they sell in the US now is water based, which looks different, not as deep blue. I should have had him paint the bags while it was being done, but didn't. Did not really want this bike as a "bagger", I like the stripped down FLH look personally.

probably sounds and rides as good as it looks. nice job jw back in the day my mate here in aus had a similar looking 68

You just can't beat the classic lines and style of a Harley Davidson FLH all the way up to the Road king. It takes a lot of work, time and effort to bring them back from being totally worn out. Oh yeah and a lot of money also, but man is it nice when it's done and turned out as nice as yours and, you know every nut and bolt on the bike. Most riders don't build their own bike so it's real cool when you see someone doing it O'l School. Again, Nice work.

I just picked up this 82 FXE from the original owner. Bone stock never been into and runs very smooth with great power for what it is. No leaks or taps or smoking. These are real hard to find in this shape. Even all the hardware is original. The 2-1 is an old discontinued cycle shack that sounds great. I have the mid controls for it and they will be going on asap.
