A ton of work, but it all paid off in the end. No regrets as it looks sweet.

Re:Redneck's build thread 2 Years, 8 Months ago  
Thanks guys. This is actually the first bike I've ever "finished" (although we know they're never really done), so I'm really looking forward to enjoying it for the rest of the season. My only regret is that I didn't finish it sooner, and I had to learn a few expensive lessons along the way that slowed me down a bit too. But it was a fun journey for sure.

Grant I'm pushing to try and make it to the Ozarks M&G, but still not sure yet. If you make it up there you may get a chance to see it. You can deliver that Landon bar to me then too

Not really. Just look for cheap parts.

Actually you'd be surprised at how little I spent on doing all of it. Yes, I did spend a good chunk of change, but not nearly what some of my HD buddies are thinking I spent. One of them is convinced I spent over $10k doing all this work I was on a very tight shoestring budget with this whole build, and while I did go over it by a bit more than expected, it wasn't terrible. Had I not wasted money on things like Plastidip and trying to adapt a HD quick release back rest, I would've been a lot better off. What helped me out was finding good deals on parts here and on the FB pages, doing all the work myself, and getting the "buddy deal" on my paint job.
