Hurrah! It's all done again. New silencers – quieter than the previous Screamin Eagle ones (getting too old for all that noise and feel a bit of a berk) and also no shin catcher fish tails anymore (both for sale if anyone is interested). Lots of powdercoating (a de-blinging exercise) and new leather bags (partly because of their cavernous size for 2 up camping and partly because I like em!). Now, must stop spending money on damn motorcycles.

One of the local guys, Robbo, had the same taste in hand painting.

Robbo's quote "drop it to the ground and ride the wheels off it" his Harley had some ridiculously high mileage on it. Strangely it looks very shiny in the picture.

That's the style, my money this winter has/is being spent on ergonomics and getting the engine running sweet.... Once done I'm moving into some serious rattle can redesign...:D

I'm going quadruple black....:thumb2

Looks like a stock Electra glide with the batwing removed and nacelle fitted... Bars look the same as my stock EG bars?

Don't think it's a road king...
 
Thank you gents! :beerjug: I agree the saddlebags are a bit lairy at the moment but I reckon they'll weather down nicely. JD – They are the ones I pointed out to you from W&W Cycles. A bit of dicking about required to get them to fit but no biggie really. Oh and please do pop over Dave...always welcome.
 
It is indeed a very handsome motorcycle.....I think I'd be putting some dark boot polish on the sacks though, but I guess they will weather in.

Melch me old fruit........I presume you have a rear seat that goes on?

You still have the pillion platform thingies on? :confused:

I do indeed have a pillion seat that fits on in a jiffy, Fanum me old Pumpkin Pie.
