    Pick up the new ride.

     

     stock, 160Km on clock.

     

    Day 2.

     

    48 seat added, reflector removed. 175Km on clock.

     

    Day 3.

     

    34" mid western bars, forward controls, 48 seat, refectors removed. 258Km on clock.

    End of day 3. 

    Thanks to the guys at Harley Heven for the bike and bits.

     

    I plain to go further but this early in the bike's life I'm concerned about the warranty. After talking to the guys at H.H.  it now sound it me that Harley will use any mod to get out of the warranty. So the custom pipes, air cleaner and tuner will have to what a while.

    I do alot of K's, if the bike don't give me any issue's after six months ( around 6 to 7000K's ) I think I will do it then.

    Looks great bertie.

    Can I ask how you went about removing the reflectors on the front forks?

    That will be my first job later this week.

    Cheers.

    Thanks Sambo.

    I started by cutting as far as down between the reflector and fork as I could with tooth floss. As other have posted. I only got about 1cm down, but this was enough, to weaken the contact. I then slowly levered it off with a plastic spatula. If you can get it to peel of the forks, it come off clean, no sticky crap left on the fork.

     I wish. Missus wanted a bike, she got the old one. I got a new one. It was a good deal.  Had to up the mortgage to get thing. Don't have a car. Hope we don't have another cold wet winter. It sucked last year.

     

    And on the 7th Day the sun Came out.
