Superglide T Sport

Congratulations, you must be fizzing at the bunghole! I'd like to see some pics of it.

BTW does it have any exposed wiring loom due to the missing fairing?

See the pic that jazbug5 posted earlier on this thread to see what it looks like.

And no, wiring still looks tidy without the fairing - the front end is just like a Sportsters "Sport" front end (with twin disc brakes and adjustable suspension).

I thought so too - how did Shadmeister know I had a double vindaloo curry for lunch while in Dunedin??

......Only done 90km or so since getting it and it's shitty day outside at the moment - dang!

Ha! - 90k's further north it's been a beautiful day, I took a couple of hours off for a quick ride this afternoon (first in a month!).

Congrats on the new toy Scummy, looking forward to checking it out!

(Hmmm, two HD's in the gargre - which one does CB get to play with?)

C.B. gets the Sporty until its sold. (she's at work so I'm brave)

BTW, C.B. saw you on Stathallen St getting the mail while we were at VINZ getting the paperwork sorted, plates etc for the T Sport yesterday, we had our modern car there (84 Laser) so you obviously didn't recognise us!!

Dang, set myself up beautifully.

Well, beautiful day down here, C.B suggested an outing on the 'T' to see how it was two-up.

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!!
