License Mount: Left axle mount license plate bracket.Taillight: No School Choppers 28-32 duolamp.Headlight: Stock Shovelhead with nacelle.Powder Coating: Kerry Sayre helped me out with powder coating the frame, rims, fork lowers, and hubs.Paint by: Eastwood “patina preserver” over rust.Year/Make/Model: 1967 Harley-Davidson FLH.Ultimately, the Shovelhead project was shelved… During the tear down process that summer, my uncle (dad's little brother) lost his life while riding due to an ignorant cager. The terms were that I would tear it apart and rebuild it, this way when I ended up on the side of the road that broke down, I would have a fighting chance of getting back on the road.
