Very nice looking bike Rex 

Thank You Sir ! 

Park ya bike an walk away, if you don't look back it's not the one 😁

Nicely put GM.

too true....  i love my sporty!  it different and stands out from the plain jane rest of the crop.

I feel like a bit of a dill about this one. I've moaned on here about the piston slap in my tired old motor. Today I discovered that the noise I've been hearing is the speedo chattering in its mount, because the rubber mounting ring is knackered. The noise only occurs as you put load on the motor, no matter what revs. Worst under acceleration, disappears as you back off. Put a hand on the speedo as you accelerate and it disappears.

That's a win win, no engine pull down required 🍻

I remember a mate telling me how much his ‘18 M8 motor buzzed and rattled a lot. His first Harley.

Haha, that's gold Neale

Putting in a few shakedown miles on the Shovel.

42 of them in fact 😁 NOS is the bomb 👍

Looked around online for the speedo cushion, 67104-83, the failed part causing my piston slap. Found them, generally about 7 bucks US, ranging to 50 bucks Oz, scattered availability. Being a bushie tight arse, I might try some rings cut from a stubby cooler first, the bottom ring held up by a cable tie.

Very artillerian T4 👍

Ah shoot, or however you spell it!

Uh oh, bottom of the tank looking goopy

Yup, need to do something about that. No ride today.

Rode it just for transport, nothing special, just needed to go some places.
