I lived in Prinsted, Southbourne in the 1980’s just a few miles south of Westbourne - know
it well.
I really wish I'd bought it when you offered it up on here
The other thing to watch, is the mid controls sit right where you put your feet down, and can snag on jeans…..

Typical of my mind at the time… get it all sorted…. Sell it… and I had a Bassani RR3 sat waiting to go on…..
I’ve already got bruises on my shins. Clearly designed for dwarves.
Would the bike need a tune with a pipe like this?Bassani Exhaust System Road Rage III 2-Into-1 in Stainless Finish For 2018-2024 Softail Street Bob, Low Rider, Slim & Fat Bob Models (1S72SS) | ARH Custom UK

To get the best - yes.
What year is it.. ?
Did it have the rear o2 sensors - as it has short shots they may have been eliminated allready
2023. No sign of rear o2 sensors.
Harley forwards now ordered. Unfortunately I fell out of a pub Sunday afternoon and badly sprained my ankle so no riding for the time being.
They will have already been blanked off - as you have short shots..would have been on 23 MY
Sorry to hear about your ankle…. Hope the pain was masked by beer…
Unfortunately I was sober. 7-10 days delivery on the forwards so should be ok by then. I’m thinking I’ll stick with the pipes for the time being and go 2-1 if it turns out to be a keeper.
So a quick update… finally got the forwards on (been a bit delayed because I’ve been building a log cabin to house a couple of bikes). A lot more comfortable, although I have to bend my leg round the filter to use the back brake, but I can live with that for the time being. Incidentally, do the 117 filters need a rain sock?
A couple of observations - my main bike is a Triumph Scrambler 1200xc. Ironically the suspension on the Harley copes with the bomb craters on our local roads better than the Scrambler. It also has better fueling.
I haven’t had time to get a decent length ride in so the jury is still out, but hopefully that will happen in the next couple of weeks.

Stock suspension on the M8 is very good - you will ( if you have not noticed) have an adjusted under the seat ( special tool supplied ) that allows you to adjust by your weight ( chart in riders manual)

Stock suspension on **some** M8’s in a very good…..on some it’s a sack of shite….
Maybe I should have carried a couple of bags of sand as ballast then the suspension might have been ok.
Stock suspension on my RKS was utter shite
