[jimbo600]

Nice ride Scummy,

When is the NZ tour then?

[SwanTiger]

That rear bit and the seat look like shit. Nice bike though.

[terbang]

Dunno much about Harleys so what model ETC..? It certainly is a looker..Enjoy B..

[Jantar]

More details please. Is this in addition to your sporty or have you taken a downgrade? :scooter:

[T.W.R]

Pretty smart looking beast SD :yes: so when do the goodies get thrown on to make it go proper :blip:
Love the anglebox partially hidden in the background :shutup:

[outlawtorn]

very nice bike dude, congrats, may you have many happy journeys :yes:

[kiwifruit]

is it brand spankers?

[**R1**]

sweet, when u up in Chch next? can I take it for a wheelie....i mean ride?:scooter:

[Paul in NZ]

Yup! I like dem!

Not as trashy as a lot of other models, could even stand one myself. Well done! (whats it go like?)

[scumdog]

More details please. Is this in addition to your sporty or have you taken a downgrade? :scooter:

It's in addition to the Sporty - but it's for sale to defray the Scumdog financial deficit!
COULD keep it for CB if we chose to but what with the T-bird we bought and stuff probably best to sell it.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys - for a bunch of Harley slaggers you surprised me:niceone:

It's not brand spankers (they're not made anymore so I believe) but has under 8,000km, short write-up to follow if I can cut and paste from another thread.!!Well, I gone 'an done it!!! Yeehawww!

FROM OTHER THREAD (Supertglide T Sport):

"Well, I gone 'an done it!!! Yeehawww!

Me'nCB went to Dunners and bought the dang thing, white as Debbie Reynolds knickers with black bits as black as Suzanne Pauls chauffuers bits.

Went o.k. but I reckon the Sporty would give it the learn in pick-up anyway but it DID corner not too bad - never actually got to the wallowy 'oh shit' stage but tried it out on my 'private test bends'.

First big-block HD ever - man are they big - like a Zeppelin on two wheels.

Handle-bars are 100+mm wider thean the Sporty, feel like I'm steer-wrestling when riding it.

Got nifty expandible clip on saddle-bag thingies that area real capacious (and hold lots too) and have waterproof removable covers.

More later when I've had a couple more tequilas.

CB named it Tequila Sunrise - don't ask me why, - I didn't make that choice"

[scumdog]

Decided to go down to KP (Kaka Point for the uninitiated) so off we went, short trip of 20km each way with a JD break at KP.

Man it's smoooth compared to the Sporty (rubber-mounted engine to thank for that) EXCEPT when on the over-run as when approaching a tight corner, then it's the old familiar HD vibe.
It just swoops around S-bends with ease - the Sporty would do it too but with it you felt like you're working at it and the brakes fell just as good, no vices there.

Throttle needs looking at as it has a fair amount of 'slop' making 'blipping' on the down-change a tad tricky compared to the Sporty which is a natural for 'blipping'

Suspension travel was a massive amount better than the Sporty - no flinching from CB as we went over the rail-way crossings whereas the Sporty would bottom out too easily.

Shifter is mounted at too high an angle resulting in tricky down-changing and a couple of 'no-shifts' - easy to rectify, I'll move it down one or two teeth on the spline.

To do: 'Noisier' mufflers (it's as quiet as a Jap multi), re-mount shifter, adjust throttle 'slop' and make some highway pegs, also see if can locate factory screen/fairing.

But generally as happy as a pig in shit!! (Couldn't resist that!)

[Waylander]

I've only got one issue with it.


It's white.....

[nadroj]

Hog talk or professional opinion?
Enjoy!

RACIST!!!

Now all I need it a pair of riding britches, a short sleeved khaki shirt, wrap-around sun glasses and a gold and blue shorty helmet and I can play at being CHIPS!! (Cue musical sound effects - dum-dum-da-dum-da..)

(It has blue pearl over the white, and yes, the colour put off other potential buyers, must be a shit-load of T-Sports out there that people can be so fussy about the colour of one..:rolleyes: )

[idb]

It's not brand spankers (they're not made anymore so I believe)
Harley don't make the FLCH anymore?
I'm sure I've seen plenty in the shops..............

[Nicksta]

very purrdy....

[scumdog]

Harley don't make the FLCH anymore?
I'm sure I've seen plenty in the shops..............

You've got a 'thing' about this felching haven't you??

It's a (drum-roll here) FXDXT!!!!!

How cold is it up your way??

[mstriumph]

soooooo purty :yes:

[idb]

It's a F**ks Ducks?

It isn't too bad.
Probably about 5 deg.
The snow never got down as low as town and the skies are clearing.
The mountains are looking good though.

You do that.....

[Virago]

Hog talk or professional opinion?....
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[paturoa]

yummm

whats it like with the twin front disks - stoppies?

[aff-man]

umm I think the front and back discs are the wrong way round:blip: :shutup:

Looks pretty clean... for a hogly.

[scumdog]

Pretty smart looking beast SD :yes: so when do the goodies get thrown on to make it go proper :blip:
Love the anglebox partially hidden in the background :shutup:

Hmmm, I'm concerned that the merest speck of an Anglia in the background got your attention!!

It's the 'parts car' for the fleet which is presently depleted to just two - and one of those is sold.

As for the 'goodies' for the T-Sport? Well, I'l have to go to Dunners and do a bit of shopping soon....:blip:

[Lou Girardin]

I like it in white with black cases, good choice.
I'm wondering if that seat can be made more pillion friendly though, it's quite narrow and wedge-like.
Still there's plenty of aftermarket options.

Thank Lou, btw how well does that black 'crackle' finish wear? after all it's not like you can get the Autosol out to buff it up!!

And seat? Yep, we're looking into it, what model HDs have seat interchangable with the Superglide??
At the moment CB is o.k. with it, while it is a tad 'skimpy' she thought it was not too bad, I thing a lot of the problem with the Sporty was lack of suspension travel,especially going over level-crossings, kerbs etc. and the T-Sport as lots of suspension travel.

[Paul in NZ]

Pretty sure HD do a spray can of wrinkle case paint. I know the early Guzzis with that finish stuffed up and a lot of the guys swear by the HD canned stuff.

[hunt]

nice bike, i like the black engine cases etc, is that some sort of powder coating? a couple of the harley models seem to have it

so i take it that the black isnt a powder coat,but some sort of aerosol application?

We do S100 engine brightener, which really lifts tired black engine cases.
Most '96 to '03 Dynas have the same seat mounts. The Wide Glide can be different though.
Have you got a two piece seat or single? Because you can get just a touring pillion seat for them.

[marty]

How cold is it up your way??

it's not too bad up here, but i hear you've had a bit of snow down your way...

in fact, we were down there yesterday/last night trying to get this moving - it was stuck to the runway!

[spudchucka]

It's a (drum-roll here) FXDXT!!!!!
How the hell do Harley dream up their model codes?

Nice bike though, might get one when I'm an old fulla like you.:blip:

[scumdog]

Dunno how they get that code, LOU?

Imagine taking PXT of a FXDXT to TXT to your mate:blah:

And you'll be an 'old fulla' like me soon enough Spud, just wait a bit!

[Lou Girardin]

Beats me, but my favourite is FLHTCUISE.
Squawkin' Budgie Ultra Classic in English.

I had a Harley in my 20's and found that it was making me old before me time so I'll wait until I'm as old and grumpy as Lou before I get another one. You need a big fly catching grey beard to ride one of those things too, I've only got a couple of grey whisker at this stage, the rest is still kind of ginga-ish.

Was that your big fat moustache I saw on the news a few days back with the car fire / homocide thing down your way?

In your 20's hmmm? Would have still been sidevalves back then eh??:laugh: :wait:

And no not my mo, I'm too shy and retiring for that kind of publicity:whistle:

Why be concerned ?? My mate & I used to race one years ago (fully worked 1600 escort with all the bull) did the 1st Ashburton streetsprints etc, great fun wee cars :blip:

You need some screamin eagle goodies & slash cut pipes :innocent: and if your after a screen for it, one off a FXR Sport Edition would bolt straight on seeing its basically a modern version of that model.

Thanks for the advice T.W.R., if I can't get an original one I'll get a FXR item instead.

Oh yeah, one of my Anglias is going to Ch-ch - twin Webers, lowered, disc front end, flares 1/2 cage etc. etc.

[Motoracer]

I always wanted one of them Harley things. It's in my life's "To do lists", to atleast ride one if not own one.

Very nice. Have many happy KM's on riding her.

[White trash]

Ummmm, your profile sez "T-Sport". Yet I see no fairing, no saddlebags and a thin seat.

I reckon you've been had, my hairy, badge wearing friend. Looks like a regular ol' Super Glide Sport to me.

The bags I took off, (unclipped) the seat was wot I got (redone to suit little short-arse oriental riders) and as I said - I want a fairing.

Ansd even a regular sport would be o.k.

Nice thought Igor only it would take a shit-load of effort to change a 105E Anglia into a Ford Popular panel-van don't ya reckon??

And due to fresh snow this dirt-bag is staying off the roads today.

Brave words big boy - you must be one of those 'other' riders - you know, not the ones that HAVE a Harley but the ones want to own one:nya: :laugh: :killingme :wait:
