    couldn't afford airs on mine went with 440's, which are heaps better than stock. Did you have your fork boots re-painted? Mine had paint imperfections, re-painted under warranty. Removed my rear reflectors also, looks more cleaner.

    Hey,

    Na paint on forks was ok removed reflectors from forks sliced off with fishing line, just purchased a black out kit for forks, covers all the chrome parts fits over the forks between the triple trees and fits over the sliding fork so all looks black should look awesome I hope gotta remove forks to fit. Also just bought black handle bars still to fit, also gunna powder coat my foot controls black which should nearly be all the silver and chrome gone.... Mine was using engine oil first 5,000 Ks complained to Frasers I wanted it fixed under warrenty but they said no as what it was using was acceptable amount 1 ltr per 1500 Ks, since then done another 2,000 Ks and never used a drop of oil, looks like its run in and fixed its self....

     Hey ralphski,

    Kevrod here, we met up at longriders Anzac ride. You'd suggested I join this forum. I should still have a look at that turbo v rod on eBay you mentioned mate. Not that I've got much spare pocket money

    Kevrod, good to see that you're onboard, was good to have a talk with you on the longriders ride. Always keen to catch up for a ride, when i can.
    Have been watching the turbo NRS on ebay with interest.... Maybe high $20's, would be a good buy ( without seeing the bike )

     Sure mate, will be in touch to get some riding in soon. As for the turbo rod, go for it mate, you only live twice!!

    Will get some pix up soon of my ride. Put 1 1/4 drag bars on at weekend.. Better..., and I may need to play a bit more with those SE zorsts, drill out me thinks.

    Hi im looking to buy my first HD and keen on the Night Rod Special and just looking for some advice. Im riding about 90km to work of a morning from newcastle to sydneyn and home again, and need a comfy bike and good on fuel to get me to and from work. Any advice would be much really apreciated thanks.

    you'll get about 280 km's out of a 19 litre tank, on average riding, far less when you screw it to the stops!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Nige
    Above comments are correct. Comfy ride, poor economy and costly rear tyre. But the girls really dig them so who cares about the coin just lap it all up my friend you wont look back..
