I built this bike about 6 years ago now, it has been a super solid bike and I love it just as much now as I did when I first finished building it! The bike is a true runner, it's been my only bike for the past 6 years and has some decent miles on it.

    Beautiful ride Doc. Got a '77 FXE. No where as clean as yours. Yours looks and sounds great.
  • I really like the trim appearance of the bike, & anyone that can come up w/the "chain in a pinch" fix is alright in my book. Good work
  • Leave the chain , it looks cool, has a stand out statement type of look. I seen other guys install chains ⛓️, my humble opinion is use a chain skip the rod. It’s just one of those little things that makes an impression 👍🏼. Cool 🇺🇸 bike!

    Man the Dr is really causal about his show grade chopper!! Total high grade big dollar build!!!!! Whether he built it himself or not he knows all about it and that’s great!!!
