Show us your Harley

[Alex B]

Black (Street) Bob (back to original apes + 2")

More fun to ride than you might think ........... small kids and old blokes seem to love it..... everyone in between thinks I'm some kind of old f**t. Ah well. High mini-ape bars I just put back on (with 2" risers) are (bizarrely) comfortable.

...small kids and old blokes seem to love it...

Sadly they're the only types of people who are ever impressed by motorcycles, full stop

I think it needs another set of fork gaitors between the triple trees

Quite scary reading this thread as I start to really like the idea of having a Harley. Got an anniversary GSA and an original FireBlade which never gets a look in. Is it an age thing that the older you get the more attrative a Harley becomes??

This is a great thread, I like Big Twin hd's (i've had a couple of sportsters before and I've learn't my lesson)

Trying to find the one picture I have of my old Fat Boy, I also owned an old shovel from the 70's, that was a little more involving to ride but was so unreliable it was embarrassing. The Evo wins hands down IME

Can't wait to get another but they are a bit lumpy to drag on and off the boat and a bit too desirable to the tealeafs to leave parked up on the streets for weeks, so i'll just have to be patient

A road king would be nice, a bit tatty and a nice free breathing engine would do the job

If you find the one that's right for you, they're not too bad at all as an ownership and riding experience.

Bought mine from new over 3 years ago and am still loving it. I really enjoy the GSA but the Harley is the other side of the coin altogether .... vibey, chunky, clunky even but not at all as slow as you'd think.

N'nF .... I'll get them gaiters sorted !

Here's my newly acquired Gnarley, a 16 year old Road King with 80k miles on the clock.. minter than a mint thing.

That chicken on the front mudguard is going to have to come off... and the BBQ rack that's bolted to the rear. Problem is to remove the rack I need to fit back on the original part (47440-92) which I don't have and is no longer made

 

[polecat]

It looks new

Nice one

See you at the next UKGSER HD rally then

 

[Mutley]

Nice bike Paul, I'm sure you'll find a source for the part easy enough. There are some breakers in the US that have everything

 

[twizzle]

Very nice!

I quite like that, it looks like a Hardley should without trying to be anything other than shite

 

[Deleted account 231002001]

I like it.

 

[Dean]

If i had one it would be a Road King, great look they look extra cool :cool

 

[Ian916]
