Hello Gents, thank-you guys in advance for all the help and advice. I own and 2005 electra-Glide and a 2003 Roadking.. But I just had to have My old Pal's CRASHED BIG DOG (He has had it sitting in his garage for about 3 years and does not remember much about the Bike. He basically was Cut off and was forced to steer LEFT. The final damage was (Known)

1)Bent Ape hangers
2)Scrapped Front Master Cylinder Cover
3)Broken FOrward Control (Bolt broke and welded bolt holder, which I have)
4) Scrapped Rear Master Cylinder top and gasket (all fluid gone on BOTH CYL)
5)Bent rear aftermarket Exhaust pipe (I understand these cost about $1,000)
6)Slight dent in rear Wheel
7)Broken tail lights
8)Broken License Bracket
9)Scrapped Right Tank
10) Scrapped rear Fender
11)Nacelle Headlight
All (In my Opinion Minor Stuff, even for me)
I got the bike Dirt Cheap and I wanna fix it with used stuff and donations (From guys in my club) (part donations that is)

I already got a pair of 16" apes on ebay (used)
can anybody chime in as to what they can give me advise on, I am gonna Post Pics...

I removed the fork assembly, the stopp is broken off inside the neck, I re-packed the bearings and it seems I need the right side fork tube...Its SLIGHTLY BENT

If I take a coat hanger wire, bend it, bring it back straight, I have an "S" bend to it. Go try it.

If I take that fork and send it out I may have paid all that money towards bending it back, I should have taken that money and forking by frank may match that up brand new for a few bucks more.

If I told you how many times the energy keeps going into the front end to keep bending parts releasing that energy, now you have the lower triple tree to contend with. This may have a twist and now you are all assembled and your handlebars are in one direction and your front end in another direction.

If I entered sooner, you with the front end off, now you have a good look around for paint cracks at the neck. Any wrinkle, crack, bubble out of bonding of paint and away from that frame, we have energy bending that frame too.

If I heard 500 for that bike, I'm offering $200 because it's a parts bike from here on out.

OK.....I had to read and RE-REad your Post.........and RE-READ your post to understand it....I finally decifered what you said....I appreciate the advice

I checked for "wrinkles" and did not see any...I am having a conversation with WSW....I am gonna get the tubes from him and I am gonna put em in with a fork oil change kit....I was able to bend back the Handlebars and cut and bend back the exhaust....its coming along....

and by the way...$200 is a fair price...But I figure if I just remove the S&S carb i can probably get $200 for that alone....and $3500 for the engine and $400 for the baker 6 speed and $200 for the left fuel tank and $500 for the wheels and tires..........$40 for the cables and $300 for both calipers....

YOU could make a lot of money baby!!
