    Pizzlin,

    I could use the backrest myself on my bike with the shape my back is in.  The back-rest looks damn good on your bike and I'm glad it allows you ride the longer distances.

    I bought my TMax through Moragn & Wacker when I bought my bike.

    I decided to do my self as I wanted the pipes and air on from day one and not wait till first serice.

    Have not looked back since installing it.

    I like mine to go then show.

    As I like them to stop as well. Even though the new Harley brakes sorta work well they don't inspire me. (why I put Floating Rotors on)

    My next big purchase would have to be a chrome 6spot PM front caliper. (my be a while till I can get this on my current budget)

    Hope to post some new pics next week when I finish doing my new switches and internal cables,

     

    Congrats Chris on the show win. Least U know ya going in the right direction.

    I would be carefull if I were U.

    Light up the rear wheel with a burn out and ya hole bike could go up in a puff of smoke.

    Do ya carry sandpaper or tweesers for the splinters on those rough roads.

    Just purchased a set of genuine chrome fork sliders for my 07 FXSTC on e-bay yesterday.
    HD here want around $600 odd for them and I was able to get them from the states with postage for $180.
    Great deal and was from a bike shop that sells on e-bay.
    This is less than what it was going to cost to get mine chromed here and heaps less when you add postage to melb and back.
    Now just need to sit back and wait. Hopefully not to long.

    The Parts I am buying are Genuine OEM Harley.
    The legs are for the FXSTC as they are different to the other FX softails.
    Shop is a dealer as well so Unless Harley put shit chrome on I am not worried.
    They come in origonal pakage with seals and Chrome Nut kit as well.

    May look at getting some progressive springs to change at the same time.

    G'day I am a new member from Perth,

    I was interested in joing an Oz based site as I hoped that may contain a little less B/S than some international sites. Though if your prepared to sift through some of it you do come accross a lot of good content !

    Well i've had the bike now for a while now.... though I only just bought the PC....Priorities ! 

    I bought the bike through Scott at Great Southern M/C in Albany, W.A. to avoid the long waits that Frasers were predicting. I was very happy with Scott's and techy staffs help and advice and would definately buy from them again. Though Scott still owes me a Tshirt !  I had The boy's in Albany change my bar's, addd  S&S slip on's, stripper seat, a PCIII and 3" Arlen Ness foot control extensions prior to delivery. Ive added the obligitory chrome doo dah's and am really happy with my purchase. I can see a dyno tune happening in the near future cause it constantly  fells like it's lugging around town. Im also thinking of trying out a fork brace in the near future. Your thoughts on the two latter ideas would be appreciated.

    Regards and stay safe..

    Cal

    Hi Cal

    Bike looks good in that Blue/Silver.

    I would probally look at better rear shocks and front springs with a heavy oil like the SE heavy duty before I looked at putting a fork brace on.

    Need to get the suspension fixed before needing a brace. just My 2c.

    Catch ya later

    Well,

    I said my "Hello's" in the new members section and thought that if would be more fitting to post the images of my baby here seeing as she is a Softail Custom.

    This was taken at my ole man's place and the second time that I rode her before the Rego ran out.

     

    Cheers

    I have to agree with you there Fatboy.

    Fell in love with the colour scheme and when the 2009 models came out I looked at their colours and that's when I decided I have to have the 105th regardless of the financial hardship.

    Can't afford to do anything in regards to "personalizing" for a while, but then again I quite like the bike as it is.
