    Rebuild the 1988 Softail as stock. I have a stock 1988 heritage Softail classic. They have such a classic look to them. It would be good for you mention to your viewers in a future video, that when they drain the horseshoe oil tank to keep the gravity feed lower drain hose loose on the mount nipple add some oil to tank then separate the hose from nipple and allow some oil to drain out this was the drain hose will be full of oil and not air, if you do it this way you remove any air pockets from the drain hose preventing those air pockets from being introduced to the oil.

    That engine is more or less an S&S 88 Evo, right? At least it should be reliable. I remember when they were selling these and I wanted another V-Twin that wasn't a Harley. I looked at them, but bought a 2003 Victory V92, I put over 60,000 miles on that bike, and put over 30,000 on a 2012 Vic Crossroads. After watching you sort the wires, I'm glad I didn't go with a Gilroy.

    I bought my 1st Vrod 03, my friend all hot nodded Evuls, me included. Watched the video, making of a V rod. Not too long after, I was the proud owner. It to me a few months to really understand how to ride the V rod and find its performance potential. Not to long after, we lined up 7 of my brothers hopped up evos. Talk about a shocker. The closes Evo was another 7 bikes behind, and my v rod was still building power. I currently own 7 of them. 4 that I ride often, the others I will keep for parts incase I need it. But so far..120k hard miles on my original 03 and still a fast bike. Unfortunately my other friends all own v rods..lol

    The Gilroy Indians, especially ones with the PowerPlus engine, looked way better than anything Polaris is making today. They had bright shiny paint with lots of polished aluminum and chrome and NO flat black. Absolutely nothing on earth is uglier than a flat black motorcycle.
