I was going to go for spoked, and got them all priced up and choose the style - fat spokes, black hubs etc but in the end spokes just didnt look good on the FB when I saw a pic of one with spokes on a guys bike in the USA. So I went for gloss powdercoat and must admit it makes the FB look pretty tough, altough its almost "not" a harley now. It looks kind of euro muscle bike to me and not HD anymore. What do you guys think? I even got both those damn lights working at once. How friggin stupid is the ADR regs ?
Mind you, with the SE211 cams, Kury Filter, PCIII, and those V&H pipes it goes like stink. The dyno chart looks a little deciving in that it shows a TQ hole but in reality its a indication of the dyno operator and how he rolls on the power from low revs when he running it up on the dyno.
When riding I cant feel anything exceprt linier power steeply rising all the way from 1500 to 6200 and no holes or hesitiation at all.
Looks great on the L/H side, but too much chrome now on the Right. Perhaps a black set of side shots would tone down the R/H side.
Well done.
thanks for the feedback.I think that also and I have some rush slipons that are getting coated black as I type. Should balance it out having chrome headers with the large black rush mufflers in a staggered dual layout like a superglide. I never really wanted a totally blacked out bike, I like the look of black/chrome and not too much of either. I prefer polished alloy actually instead of chrome. I recently had a mate tell me I should get the black rotors to match the rims but I like the contrast of black rims against s/steel rotors.
Hey Fatboboz if you want to have a Fat bob round up over a coupla Jacks , count me in. Oh yeah, your bike looks shit hot and has a pretty impressive pony chart to back it up.
lots of places to ride around here; through to kalamunda via goosberry hill rd and then a lazy run through to the wier and then acrross the top and down red hill etc, but my experience is everytime a bunch of guys say "lets ride" its fkn hard work to pull it together. You'd think someone'd yell "RIDE" and we all be all on it like Oprah onto a baked ham, but try to get three or more guys togerher to agree on a direction to point the bikes and it goes to shit. For a quick ride idea I often throw 1/2 doz JD's into my bag and ride to a mates house and then drink them with him while talking shit about bikes, and babes and whaqtevcer else floats tothe top. Most of the wives are cool about it so long as we dont rev the box of the bikes and wake kids up. Life in the fast lane eh? I have recently thought it might be good to join up with the UGLY M/C. " http://uglymotorcycleclub.com/id1.html " if Willie G is an UGLY I figure its good enough for me. Anyhow, I figure "bikes,bourbon an bullshit" is a good start to a good afternoon but if someone wants to pull a ride together first, count me in !
I'm in.
