I suspect it is!
You should have got a nice 690 or a 701 as they're 50Kgs lighter (but don't tell JB!)
I sure hate changing tyres on a Harley...

That looks rather nice Trickster!
What you need to do now is come over here for a bit of off road riding. We can do a few muddy lanes on the TET and then I'll take you up Buster Hill on it (not a euphemism) and we'll see how you get on
Is that Butser lime works ?

It's here JB - Lime quarry is other side of A3
Errrr - there's a fundamental flaw in your argument there!
Tricky ain't going to ride like Pol

Not that I’m aware of, at least around northern WV. Here you can have it done at the Harley dealer by buying the tyres there at full retail then paying them their shop rate of probably $95 per hour to do all the work. Or remove the wheels yourself and take them in to a place where you have already ordered the tyres from (generally at top dollar) and pay them around $35 per wheel to remove, dispose of the old, mount and balance the new.
Or buy them mail order at discount then do it myself.
Two Avon Cobras fitted - Ride in - Ride out - about £220...perfect

I seriously considered a Husky 701 and had one specced up but Giles made me focus by saying buy a bike to suit the riding you are actually wanting to do not what you think you’d like to do. So the T7 made more sense particularly as I want to do some of the Northern European TET stuff and maybe Iceland in the future which means having a bike comfortable enough to get there in reasonable time and also capable of enjoying the tracks and riding once there.
You've spoilt the surprise now!
It is indeed a twat of a route, especially as the rut is now more of a WW1 trench in depth, but it's easier on the west side trail.

There's nowt wrong with the T7, I think it is a fabulous bike and looks good too! It will do everything you have planned as per above (but don't tell JB
)I just fall off a lot, and the 690 is about as heavy as I really want to pick up more than once in a day!
Shipping'll be the killer.
Others may come and go but this is a bike for the long term.
Have a soft luggage system already in place and GPS sorted. Thinking of some of the Yamaha crash bars for the front, heated grips and a set of barkbusters and I’ll be good to go.
I use Jesse black boxes (meant for a GS1200) on my FXSTC!
How do they look? Did you fabricate the brackets yourself?

They look great Clifton.
Yes I had to bend, drill holes and polish some rather thick st. st. for brackets.
Here's a couple of photos from my 2006 camping trip to Nordkapp:

No, 12V ones meant to be used on a yacht.
