Raked triple tree problem..HEELP!, 13 Jun 2011 04:46 AM
I recently fitted a Kurykan Fork brace to my bike, after suffering the ill handling affects from the raked triple tree's. I havent had a chance to go for a good ride yet, as it was raining after I fitted it, and im only home every 6 weeks. But I rode it briefly down the highway, and through some tight windy bits and was very impressed by the difference it made.   Cost me around $200 from Rollies Speed Shop.   Looks the goods too.   Mine is same as this.... http://www.google.com...

Deluxe to touring????, 31 Oct 2010 07:02 AM
I've got a Deluxe and I still love it! It is a good looking retro machine, and the build quality is excellent. I have spent money on comfort and brakes. I can handle the fact she handles sorta OK and the brakes sorta stop OK!! Everyone that I have spoken to says the Roadking's handling, power, comfort, is by far superior to any Softail. I am saving my pennies and rather than trying to turn the Deluxe into a Tourer, will also upgrade to a King next year!! If you don't mind a second hand bike with...

BBB Airshock Pump for Fournales Shockies!!!, 12 Oct 2010 06:41 AM
I know this subject was covered about a year back but I am hoping to get some feedback from those that may have used the BBB Airshock Pump from Cecil Walker Cycles in Melbourne. I have an 09 Fatty with Fornales Pan Cruise shocks. To date I have had Magnums in Wollongong adjust my shocks. I thought I'd finally buy a Fournales pump so I can adjust the shocks more often as required. For a Fournales 0 to 30 Bar pump is $280 and a 0 to 60Bar is $450!!! Last year a few of you talked about the BBB ...

SA laws to be introduced in NSW, 17 Feb 2009 07:06 AM
found on another site... http://sa.democrats.org.au/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=1425&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0   Leave out all words after 'That' and insert 'the bill be withdrawn and referred to the Legislative Review Committee for its report and recommendations'. In concluding, I wish now to take the words of Pastor Martin Niemoller, who, in 1945, had this to say about the advance of Nazism in Germany: First they came for the communists, and I didn't sp...

HD Speedo/Tach combo., 21 May 2023 09:02 AM
I put a new one of those Speedo/Revcounter units into a 2008 Softail Custom in 2012.  I did not use the supplied harness connector that came with the new unit. Started the bike and rode it around the block and suddenly 0 K's became 66,000 ! That was the "genuine K's" as recorded in the ECM , so no real dramas. The original OEM speedo that came out of that bike subsequently went into more than one used US imports to get Complianced and pits passed for a K's speedo. Each bike had 66,000 K...

Wanted , Softail 103 "long block" 2013 or younger, 04 Sep 2021 12:18 PM
For a 110 kit ACR's are probably the best way to go ,hence 103 from minute 1 would be best. Spring/Summer arrives here Tuesday with 28C so we had better get our finger out... I have seen Keith Black 110 piston kits on US ebay at a good price of $308 AUD plus 38 dollars post. Bargain I reckon. That may be another option https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2060353.m570.l1313&_nkw=Keith+black+harley+pistons&_sacat=0 Or Easy R in Qld may have something similar

That was a good game last night!Not my team playing but was good to see those Mountain Men ( Penrith ) turn Easts into, Red Roosters!! & Then only one point difference between the Sharks & Cowboys. Did not like some of the cheap head shots some of Easts players tried on Cleary, but he took it all in his stride & beat them where it hurts  ( on the score board ) Go Tigers!! Forgot Rabbito's 48.  Shettland pony's 0  & at Suncorp  ( don't know what was going on there? maybe need to call Wally Le...

2014 FLHTK Ultra Limited Build, 28 May 2021 05:02 AM
Understand but before you start putting truck loads into i may offer you a potentially cheaper alternative that will achieve the same outcome. I can give you the details of a business in Vic that sells complete but insurance write off bikes including HD. Perhaps buy a complete damaged one tear it down with your daughter and piece it all back together. He has around 25 HD in stock at the moment. This bike i am using as a example of his stock is a CVO and he wants $10k ono for... http://www.adrena...

Minimizing risk, maximizing enjoyment, 05 Mar 2019 11:44 AM
I think unnecessary overtaking is the main thing I see other riders doing which puts them at high risk. Just wait until the traffic stops and then go to the front of the queue, it’s not a bloody race, we aren’t all playing Cannonball Run!!! I saw a 1%er risking becoming a 0%er today. Mate he had some close calls!!! You can’t ride bad forever without coming unstuck. Sometimes I think some motorcyclists think that’s how they’re supposed to ride ... you know monkey see monkey do.

My personal opinion is to go for a 2009 and later touring model as they changed the frame with that model. Mileage will probaby be above 40K but as long as they have been regularly serviced (ie oil changes) it should matter too much. Here are a couple of Road Kings from Bikesales (localish): This one looks quite a tidy bike with a few extras: https://www.bikesales.com.au/bikes/details/2009-Harley-Davidson-Road-King-Classic-1584-(FLHRC)/OAG-AD-15972799/?cr=0&psq=%28%28%28%28%28%28Service%3D%5BBik...
