those pics are in the USofA

I will call re the hell deal..... and yes the picts are yank..but hey! my bike has no front guard and the usa side mounted plate and 110db pipes AND AND a currrent WOF so no biggie. I just put on the guard when its WOF time. Rolling Thunder have a new 09 with wide beach bars and a sexy pair of pipes...but I want the black motor ( 09 has the silver motor )

Loud pipes and no front guard? You rebel you.........

I heard on the grape-vine that there's a LOT of unsold '09 inventory in NZ causing a delay in the shipping of 2010 bikes (think HD Australia aren't keen to bring in the new models whilst there are so many unsold '09s). If you're going to go for an '09 I'd sure as hell want an amazing deal.

Street Bob's a good looking bike but that Springer front end is just right for it. Don't forget to budget for decent pipes, o2 sensor eliminators, new inlet stuff and a new map / fueling module. That's a lot of cash on top of the bike itself.

For the record, I once changed the front end on my '03 FXST for a new FL front end but only once I'd discovered that the Springer forks I really wanted were more than three times the price! From memory, and I'm not bullshitting here, the FL (Fatboy / Heritage) one cost me about $1,800 whilst the Springer forks were quoted at close to $6,000.

I spied that one today, looking at the bar width I presumed they were aftermarket. Probably too wide for me!

As a side note I read somewhere in the WOF regs in NZ that motorcycle bars must be under 1 meter wide. I wonder if anyone ever actually measures.

Time for a big block is it?

And I have a tassled jacket! Not lol

I did my learners/restricted on the Nighty....def time to move up to big block. I hear ya re 09 backlog..I guess thats why they tart it up to entice the peeps, bit like that Cross Bones ( which looks way better in my opinion )

Oh what to do...older 1450 with bits...or new 2010. Is the 6 speed a biggie? I'm thinkin 20 -25k at this stage. Leaning towards the Fat Bob, although I like the night train..

na!! this is a rebel and for sale or trade with cash, 6 speed 100 cubes plus lots more

Harley-Davidson never hold back the release of the new models. If a dealer has stock of '09's when the 2010's get here...that's their problem. Or...a buyers good luck!

The 6 speed box is the best thing that's ever happened to big block HD's in my opinion. Everytime I was riding one...I was forever trying to hook another gear on the open road on the old 5 speed. BUT...the 1450 struggled to pull 6th gear. The long stroke 1584 has that much more torque...that 6th is another usable gear.

I've got all sorts of 1584cc 6 speed models avail...and yes...if they're '09's they've gotta go...best anyone that wants a hell deal on a new HD gets hold of me.

Did I see that at a Jokers show?

[peasea]

And I have a tassled jacket! Not lol

Are you sure? You could be a 'closet tassle wiggler'.

[usa-vtwin]

Are you sure? You could be a 'closet tassle wiggler'.

Well, in my youth I had a tasseled Bon Jovi jacket...and my Triumph hardtail had...well never mind.....I've moved on from those days. I might tassel my goatee tho.

[scumdog]

Yeah, unlike real men who wear their tassles in the open....

[SilverGrin]

Couple of pics of mine.

I love this bike, it handles great, plenty of torque and IMHO looks pretty sharp.

I have no issues with cornering, ask any of the sport-bike riders I ride with. No wallowing at speed, and I rarely scrape.

Screaming Eagle rear tyre helps me lean it over more, and the pipes give me a little bit more clearance.

The only real issue I have is that it could use a little kick up the arse at top end as it comes off the shop floor, I'm looking to put cams and a 103 kit in it.
But that's just me and my continual pursuit of performance.

Satisfaction - 10 out of 10.

only thing i would change would leave as mid controls but put highway pegs on for those long straights down south
Great bikes but has the 2010 got black engine?

[scumdog]

at
only thing i would change would leave as mid controls but put highway pegs on for those long straights down south

Exactly what I've got - the mid controls mean my feet are where I need them for the twisty bits (bike handles better with my feet there) but the free-way pegs are there for comfort on long not-so-twisty bits.:niceone:

[usa-vtwin]

Thanks guys...yep the 2010 has the black motor. Im going to order one with an early 2010 delivery. I'll add pipes, bars, forward controls before I pick it up. Going for the gloss black and aim to further black it out.

[dmouse]

I seen you round Northwood ....and elsewhere... I had a Dixie Rebel guitar that matched ya bike lol..

yep i live in northwood and am out and about on the bike allmost everyday rain or shine hope i gave you a wave

[dmouse]

you could of seen me at the Jokers rally but i try to get to as many south island rallies as i can, picked up a few trophies along the way as well, the best rally was little river, not because it was close to home but the amosphere there allways seemed to be the best, shame its no longer run now

[peasea]

That's a cool beard you got there dude.

Sure did, spotted it and snapped it.........

The words 'men and 'tassles' should not be used in the same sentence.

(Unless it's a death sentence, of course.)

[Molly]

Saw this bike going along Blenheim Road earlier today. Very distinctive.

[rosie631]

U still loving the speeedmaster Molly?

[dmouse]

there better pics than i have, did you see the boss hog in the show with ut he rebel flag on it, nice bike but you would need legs like arnie to hold it up, an if ya dropped it you might as well leave it until a crane is availablelol, take car mate and regards......

[Molly]

U still loving the speeedmaster Molly?

Hi Rosie. Still happy with it. It's just the job. Doesn't have the straight line grunt of the Fat Bob but it's a nice flexible motor and with the 19 tooth front sprocket I just fitted I'm no longer hunting for a 6th gear. Good looking bike too.

You started to feel the love for the Dyna?

[rosie631]

Yep. Done 1300k on her now and decided she's a keeper. Just needed to get my mojo back after my bin I think lol.

[Molly]

Sometimes it's hard to settle into the ride. I only rode from the swap meet / British bike thing in town around the hills and back via the Blue Duck today but just couldn't settle into it. No idea why. Maybe my mind was elsewhere.
