:lol: I needed to get a bigger bike (had a VT750C2) but wanted something in a similar body style - compact cruiser with large and light front end. I searched but there was really nothing much to choose from. The dealer suggested a Fury, so I rode my husband's Fury and didn't like the front rake on it - too long and I couldn't really reach the controls properly anyway. Looked at a Stateline but didn't want to spend over $20,000 for an ex demo. Being a sissy, I was too nervous to test ride bikes.

So I went to KTL, just to have a look, just a look, not going to buy one blah blah blah.
Damn their nice sales people who want to help nervous women!
The guy went for test ride with me, and I am converted, today I sign the paperwork and Saturday I will pick up my 1200cc Sportster which they are repainting to the colour of my choice.
It is funny, I sat on it and the thing fit like a glove, all the little picky things I wanted were there. I rode it and it was fun!!! So different to the Honda, but riding position was the same.

I never thought that I would ever get a Harley.
I think my husband is a little jealous :drool:

No, there was a white pearl Harley there that I loved (which was sold) the guys said they could paint it that colour for me.
I am no good with paint colours but it was white with a blueish pearl to it - was very cool. I was wondering if it would look better with the slight purple pearl in the white - you must have read the 63 facebook comments/arguments over the colour last night?

people were saying I should just have a sparkly white like Madduck

And my '01 Harley Dyna T-Sport is white pearl - from memory I think it's more a purple/pink pearl than blue pearl, anyway, it's a stand out colour when the sun is shining on it.

Yeah Dave is the guy! He was very kind - he knew I was nervous as I am used to japanese cruisers. Everyone at KTL was cool and friendly, not like AMPS :mad:

Sounds like a hi flo screaming eagle air filter and carb from what you have said. It should add just a tiny little bit more guff than stock.

You might want to check the warranty though - some of that SE stuff (if not all?) is labeled "For Race Use Only" and might have a different warranty. I read something, I just can't remember it correctly to give you the details.

Haha Don't forget to have them write down what mods were done on sat now will ya

Say it will just be the air filter modded to match the pipes air flow ! (if ya want it to flow out quick, ya also let it flow in just as quick) the carb on that bike will be plenty big enough !

But don't be too surprised if you find the HD works out to have less, or perhaps the same horses for courses than your 750, it's just laid down differently with the HDV2, lots of low down torque and a grin factor that just gets better with every thump of that piston trying to punch it's way through to your groin !

Just remember oil is cheap and they are a piece of piss to do yaself (after the warantee period) Listen to what they (At the shop) say re which oils ya can or can't use (don't listen to those who say any oil will do) !

Yeah possibly. Maybe what I read was something along the lines of.. if you bought a new Harley, putting SE gear on voids or limits your warranty even if done by an "official" shop.

As said above, your harley is bound to pump the same or little under than your 750 but it'll be in different areas. Ive got a 45" v4 that does 83hp but it doesnt kick in until higher revs. Think the 1450 Harleys are rated at 55 - 63hp, but they take off on a light quicker (until my revs pick up anyway)

Post some pics when you got it.

My 1450 is stock (barring the free-flowing mufflers and free-breathing air-filter,) puts out 65hp at the rear wheel at just under 5,000rpm

Sportys rev a little more, even so I suspect a stocker is about 55hp or so.

Torque is where it's at with a H-D.

I had SE pipes fitted to mine and there was nothing on any of the documentation around this. That is a couple of years ago now so maybe things have changed.

Cant say the SE have made me "race" around the streets any faster ..... but they sure sound pretty cool!

HenryDorsetCase
14th June 2011, 16:24
The seppos say that because their emissions laws are pretty stringent and you arent supposed to change air in or out devices once they've been approved for street use.

but if you are selling parts "for race use only" nudge nudge grin grin wink wink say no more then it isn't unlawful.

That has bitten some of the accessory manufacturers (particularly of the "loud pipes save lives" variety because there is a backlash in the states and a proposal that ONLY the OEM pipes can be fitted even to replace crash damage, not for fashion. People are pissed off (and rightly IMO) with obnoxiously loud bikes.

The 750 was underpowered really, I loved it but it was yelling it's head off at 100kph

Sorry scumdog, you have confused my little brain...


All I know is it went faster than the 750 and I still had more gears to go.... it made me grin like an idiot, and from what I have seen the 3 times I have ridden with Madduck - she leaves me for dust when she is on her Sporty, both on the straights and corners.

I think it was Doc from Heavy Duty Australia that I read it from.


And yelling it's head off at 100kmph sounds odd! Very much so! The 250cc bikes I have been on screamed at around 100k with a head wind. In theory a 750 should be rated 120k and up quite easily. Theres a thread on the boulevards max speed somewhere - most people confirming the 800cc Maurader/Intruders don't scream until around 160k

Knowing the exhausts on Hondas, could be their EPA or whatever compliance was strangling the engine. I've done around 3-4 Honda modded exhausts and the bikes felt more responsive if the exhaust breathed a little more.

Yeah I was exaggerating (sp?) but I do feel like I need another gear, like it is working harder than it should.... I dunno... help me out here, I am trying to find a reason that I need this new bike :2thumbsup I am getting left behind though and I am thrashing the 750. It goes well on the twisty roads but not so flash on the motorway.

The guy in the shop said it is about 30 kilos heavier than my old bike, and it does feel it. I think I will notice it more when I am moving it around the garage and when I park it. I will ride it rather than push it into the garage, as I doubt I can push it up the tiny little hill. It is also taller which makes it feel different - I am flat footed on it but with straight legs, whereas on the Honda, my legs were bent.

The guy in the shop said it is about 30 kilos heavier than my old bike, and it does feel it. I think I will notice it more when I am moving it around the garage and when I park it. I will ride it rather than push it into the garage, as I doubt I can push it up the tiny little hill. It is also taller which makes it feel different - I am flat footed on it but with straight legs, whereas on the Honda, my legs were bent.

Yep, you definitely don't want to push them round. Heavy bastards they are.
But a massive grin factor built in!

Sometimes the easy ones are good ones!

Well, considering that men were falling over themselves today on my first proper ride - I doubt I would have to push it. :2thumbsup

What a cool bike! I rode it in the pouring rain, on windy roads and it was great! I had the newbie death grip happening and now I am shattered but it was fun!
I love the burbling sound it makes when I go down steep hills.

Not sure it's suppose to do that. Going by my bike, it only started doing that when I changed out the exhaust and didn't shim or jet the carb.

Then again, mine also shoots flames.

I will hold my tongue, for now.

Flames are COOL, my 600 used to do that.
