QuestionI recently had a gal knock me off my bike using her car. About took my life. As a result, I'm now trying to rebuild them. (both my life and the bike) The bike is an 06 FXSTSI with a 1450 cc engine. Among other things I need a Soft Tail frame including the swing-arm, Springer front end, engine housing, wheel, tire, brakes, foot controls...etc. I'm looking for a place to buy these parts and really don't know where to start. Do I try to stay with the local dealer, buy on-line, catalogue, or some other?
Additionally, if you have some tips or advice about parts, proceedures, do's, don'ts, ect.., I'm a very good listener.
Thank you...really. Thank you for your time.
AnswerThe first thing you will need is a repair manual to do the work. If youa re not familuer with totally rebuilding a bike from the ground up, you might want to leave it to a shop.
As you look for parts check different sources for prices. Go with the best prices.
Good luck and happy riding
