The 1992 Softail Custom that I've owned from day one.  The one of a kind eagle artwork was done by Pamelina of Sun Valley before she became rather well known.  (Check out http://www.pamelina.com)  I wanted something understated but different - not the usual flames or graphics.

One of the appealing features of the bike is the 18 inch rear wheel and low profile tire.  The stock Softail came with a 16 in. solid disk rear wheel that I didn't much care for.  Since I'm an old timer who thinks motorcycles are supposed to have spokes, I went with matching billet aluminum wheels from Sun with stainless steel spokes.  The rear tire is a 140 / 70 x 18 and the front is a 90 / 90 x 21.

The Evo motor is basically stock except for Wiseco forged pistons which have performed beautifully all these years - well worth the investment.  It also has an S & S carburetor, Dyna 2000 ignition and a mild performance camshaft from Andrews.  The adjustable Hooker exhaust includes nicely fitted heat shields preventing any view of the "ugly blues."

Other special features include Accutronix billet aluminum forward controls, Progressive adjustable rear suspension, a Corbin "Gunfighter" seat, 12 inch ape hangers, chromed swing arm and a Ness billet aluminum license plate frame with the narrow turn signal lights.

At this point, it's kind of long in the tooth - 68,000 miles but still running strong.  It's been up and down the California coast, across the Sierras a few times and many trips to Death Valley and Laughlin.  Not a show bike by any stretch of the imagination.
