Great Harley ride today...

Nice. What's the plan with the fish tails?

I understand the appropriateness and look and all, but the world is full of gutters - i'd be worried about the crunching sound of destroying them absent mindedly?

The fish-tails are a very cool addition on that bike - they even have a nice flame shaped heat shield over them. Probably very loud! They would be fairly easy to shorted if desired.
I'll bet there are already a few mods planned -he may as well as I suspect he'll be living in the new garage for at least a week or so ....

Kitchens are over rated - it will be BBQ season soon


As a side note I like some of the finishes HD are using on their new models - there is a FB low in there - all blacked out in satin and the mufflers are done in a quite striking satin silver (satin chrome?). Not many changes in models but they appear to have upped the quality of finish for 2010.

Far out Molly. You must have one understanding wife.

Thanks for the comments.

There are a few bits on the bike that I don't think 'fit'. The flame heat shield and silly, tiny pointy mirrors don't go with the 'old' look I like so much. The tank console also has some flame feature to it I don't want. Also, going to powder coat the hubs and rims and go with stainless spokes, take off the passenger seat and sissy bar and get some throw-over bags.

A pity the weather wasn't the same....

Awesome. Must admit I snuck into RT the other day hoping to get a sneaky peek but they must have had it out the back for you

[Rob Taylor]

Thats a bloody nice ride you got there.Put up a picture ,once you have it the why you want..

[Molly]

Here are a couple. It's a work in progress. Had the mufflers apart today and changed the internals. Trying to keep the flow but reduce the noise a bit. bought a metre length of perforated tube and wrapped it with stainless wool. Then secured it. It worked (it is a 'bit' quieter) but not to the extent I'd hoped. Still sounds bloody nice though.
