Thanks, living in northern Wisconsin it doesn't see a lot of driving.  I think I only had it out 4 times this last year.  I did alot of work to this to get it to where it is at. 

 

This picture was taken this summer at a local parade that I decided to drive it in for a pick up vehicle and water cooler hauler.  With the 490 she has a lot of snort, every guy over the age of 50 gave me a thumbs up.  All the young guys grin when I rev the engine.  Being the safety manager at a local plant and I was apart of my companies float procession I kept from smoking the tires for all of about the first 4 blocks out of the 18 block parade.  Until a WWII vet walked up to the truck and told me it was the nicest vehicle in the parade.  Then he asked me to light it up.  I graciously said, I can't.  I shook his hand.  He walked away and my wife gave me the evil eye.  I said "What?"  She said "Honey, he is a veteran!"  I called out to him and asked if he was a veteran to which he waived his hat.  I smiled and thanked him and told him "This one is for you!"  Then I roasted the rear end which is very easy to do. 

 

I then got the evil eye from all the employees from my company on the float in front of us as a large cloud of smoke enveloped them....

 

This truck actually replaced my Heritage Softail.  As my wife doesn't like me riding anymore since I laid the bike down.
