New bike

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

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

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"

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!)

I've only got one issue with it.

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.. )

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.

Hog talk or professional opinion?....

[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

Looks pretty clean... for a hogly.

[scumdog]

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

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....
