Chris from NY checking in, I have been reading some of the great posts here and I am gaining alot of knowledge about these great bikes rather quickly. I pickup up a 1981 Ironhead and I can't wait to get my new project started. I will post a picture shortly

Welcome

Looks like you got a good start. I like it, like it is. Might put somthing more over the battery though.

Stickys have a lot of info, start there. And a Factory Service Manual or(FSM) are good places for info.

Stickys link hear.... http://www.xlforum.net/vbportal/foru...d.php?t=465866
