Always have loved the early superglides awesome bike great job
72 "midnight express"
Hello!
well,I know this is not everybody`s taste, but I have always wanted a
boat tail. The boat tail first appeared on the 71 fx superglide and lasted for the 3 first month`s in 72. There is a few "hard to get" parts on it ,and this is how it
looks now.
Thanks

Your bike is coming along nicely. It is a tough bike to piece together if you are going for a restoration as there were a few wierd parts pieced together on that model especially the rear brake setup. I had one for a while that I bought from the original owner. He was a native american indian and I believe i could have made a better deal if I brought some firewater along!. He put 6 over fork tubes on it and man was it top heavy, I took them off. If I can get this link right there are a bunch of pics and videos of that bike on webshots.
I loved the bike but the front end was so spindly that it handled funny. An old road test said it felt like there was a hinge in the middle of the frame and they hit the nail on the head, It was a hard riding bike and rode harsh like an old corvette but had incredible grunt. I will attempt to attach a picture
