Tank lift and fuel capacity, 06 Aug 2012 03:35 AM
Hmm. Looks sweet with your apes. I'm just not sure how it would look with keystones, and I can't really find any pics of it. I still have my drags coming in a couple weeks, but I'm too fat for them " border="0" /> I do like your bars though. How do they feel? I'd look at the 12" if I went with those. You get them from the US?

RUSH Slip on Joining Bracket, 18 Jul 2012 09:55 PM
Hey Rocket, I too have the slip ons, I wouldn't personally leave the the bracket off. I assume it's there for good reason. The pipes vibrate a hell of a lot so it may cause the clamp to come loose/crack which could affect the overall running of the bike. But because we're all hard bastards, you can do whatever you want of course ;0 Take care, Rasta

Joker Machine Sportster speedo side mount with LEDs, 04 Jul 2012 11:42 AM
I've been looking at the Joker Machine speedo side mount with LEDs http://www.jokermachine.com/itemstreet2004.asp?ItemID=636&CategoryID=92&Placeholder=0 The product description states that it is only for 2004 and up, why is this? would it not fit on a 96 model? If it is voltage issue as the old bike still use bulbs and not LEDs could I not introduce a resistor to protect the LEDs in the assembly? Any advice appreciated 45wl

Engine Wants to Shut Down after Full Throttle, 18 May 2012 12:44 PM
Had a look around but good you fixed it but i came across this if your interested;       The bank angle sensor is an 8-pin accelerometer integrated circuit inside the TSM/TSSM, not a mechanical or mercury switch. It outputs an analog voltage (0 to 5 volts) depending on the direction and angle of lean. I've modified mine to disable the sensor because it kills the engine when turning hard (racing) with a sidecar. This photo shows the TSM, and part of the mod I did. http://www.ho...

Drag Bars 48, 20 Apr 2012 10:23 PM
Thanks guys. The 48 is a bit different than the Iron as the triple tree is wider and the handlebar clamp set lower.  Looking at it, it looks like if 0 rise bars are put on then it may hit the top fork nut. May be just a case of loosening the pinch bolts and lowering the forks a tad.  Also it looks like there is no way 1 1/4" bars will go on, will have to stick with 1" bars.

Harley Davidson Megafactories National Geographic, 18 Apr 2012 10:09 AM
Stated on the Megafactories Series, "The Harley-Davidson V-Rod is the first Harley-Davidson motorcycle to go from 0 to 96 kilometres per hour in just 3.52 seconds nearly twice as fast as any other Harley-Davidson bike" I love these bikes awesome looks and the ponies. Think I'll have to watch this Megafactories episode again.
