For shits and giggles I started looking into this as genuine or SE parts for these are getting scarce..... and old.

Thanks mate, that's the same as the standard and SE coils for this model, no good with the Daytona module, shame but lots of 3 ohm options out there if it ever happens.

Haven't looked closely but :

Yeah yeah, that's one of the options DTT recommend, thx for taking an interest 😁

I always enjoy a technical challenge 👍

I brought a brand spanker 1996 version as my first HD off the showroom floor, the engine was the same spec as the other 1200's for 96-97, I remember riding away up Boulder Road thinking what have I done, sounded like a sewing machine and less power than a mates ride on mower 😂, sorted air in and out and rode it for 8 years.

A Buell Ulysses would be a fun island bike 😁.

A Buell would have been great when I was younger and my knee's and hips could handle mids/rearsets, got to be forwards these days.

Good excuse for bike number 3 you reckon? 😁

Nice one 👍

Nice one Hilly, how long before the 21 front, 17 back and adv tyres arrive?

Yeah the island freight took some figuring out but it's set up now, never used to be complicated but things have changed a lot in 30 years.....not for the better either.

Hey Steve, I was looking at shinko E805's for the back and E804's for the front, they sell a 19" front in them, not an expensive tyre, think I will try the 19 and see how it goes before I look at a 21, I don't know how old the tyres on it are, I'll check the date codes when I get it, if they are serviceable I'll run them out before I buy new ones, cheers.

Don't know much about Shinkos Hilly, never bought them. Have ridden one, don't know the model number. On the back of a mates bombed up Vic, private import from the states, with the ultimate possible development of a Vic 106 motor, bored to 116, cammed, Lloyds torque tube intakes, higher flow Chevy injectors, Power Commander, and methodically developed in a shop with its own dyno, 70 dyno runs.

Thanks for the offer of the hub Steve, I will keep that in mind if the path heads in that direction, I'm not too worried about the tyres, they would most certainly be an improvement over road tyres on gravel roads and I don't expect them to last very long given what they will be subjected to, when I get around to it I think I will fabricate a stone guard, you can buy them from various places but they are a bit on the dear side for the decent ones with shipping attached, I won't be rallying it per say but there are some knarly stretches with rubble surfaces that will most certainly have stones flicking up underneath at times, waiting on the boat to fill up freight wise now, be a couple of weeks by the look of it.

Not many choices in 16 rear dual sport tyres .

That time of the year unfortunately, there was another way but the cost was eye watering.

I'm fucking hopeless, got this set up from a member on the XlForum, if you know you know haha.
