    Hey guys<

    Well i thought I would post a message on hear not really knowing what response I will get but anyway F8ck it!  Im on the Gold coast and well there's nothin I like more then just jumpin on my 72 Shovelhead Bobber and hitting the road, but its also great to have good company along for the ride when a few refreshments are going down range.

    If ya like the old school ways with no suspension and like road side servises and a good laugh. Then give me a reply and would be glad to hit the road and have a beer.

    Regards Thrasher '72 Shovelhead Rigid

    All shovels would be welcome mate.  Will let you know as well.  Not taking anything away from any harley but when you have a dozen shovels all grunting together, it sends a shiver down the spine.  Catch up for the ride soon.  Cheers

    Mate i went from me up swept drag 1 3/4 which had a great sound with the shovel, but  i was'nt keen on the stretched out exhaust. I just purchased a 2" Y exhaust on ebay shipped for $200 new. Was hesitating on the 2" but it paid off..... Its got a great sound and its loud as fuck. just what i wanted. LOUD PIPES SAVES LIVES. Ebay is the go mate....... I have saved heaps and it arrived 10 days from the States. if any ?'s just pop me a line. have a good one.

    yeh mate.... go to ebay web as if you were purchaseing from auz and all i do is just type in "Shovelhead exhaust" and you will get pages from Auz,  the States and all over. its also good to log in to your ebay account because the postage cost comes up automaticaly (most of the time ;) next to the items cost.  When looking at an item look at the feed back and wheather or not its a Store..... hear is my link to my exhaust...hope it all works out  for ya mate. I have bought heaps and pay by paypal and no dramas for me. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360337221177&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME%3AL%3AOU%3AAU%3A1123

    Thanks for the link. Handy to have a place with shovel bits and to know they do the right thing by you. At the moment I seem to doing more pulling apart than putting together on my shovel!!!!!
