    G’day Guys,

     

    This is my first post to the forum, so hello to all.

     

    I bought my first Harley on the weekend, second hand from a bloke in Canberra.

    The bike is in amazing condition & the previous owner has spent a fair bit of coin and time modding it up, which I am more then thankful for.

    I will put up some pic’s soon but a basic run down of the bike is: 2012 Iron 883 with 1200 big bore kit, speedo relocation, arlen ness air cleaner, freedom pipes, nightster wheels & burley bars.

     

    My questions is, does anybody know a mechanic in Melbourne preferable out in the south eastern suburbs who will look after me on a road worthy?

    Obviously Im trying to avoid removing the pipes & a few other minor things unless I have to, having said that I do have all the original pipes & parts and will do if required.

     

    Any info would be great,

     

    Cheers AB

    Yeah that's right PK2.
    The bike is registered in Canberra until Aug, so Im fine to ride it down here for the time being.
    I have to transfer the bike into my name etc and whilst Im doing that I will get it registered with Vic roads.
    Unfortunately as it has came from another state they ask you bring a Victorian road worthy certificate, they don’t need to see the bike just the certificate.

    I will put some pic's up in the next few days..

    Congrats on the bike, you will enjoy it.

    Put the stockies back on. Why would a shop risk their road worthy licence on your pipes?


    Bit of crc on the pipes and they slip right off

    +1 on the CRC, makes it a two stubbie job instead of a six pack, bleeding knuckles and flying spanners.
