New bike

[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.

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.

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.

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.

Dunno how they get that code, LOU?

Imagine taking PXT of a FXDXT to TXT to your mate

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??

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

[T.W.R]

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....

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

You need some screamin eagle goodies & slash cut pipes 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.

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.
