Mostly down to not giving much in the way of fucks. If it was more comfortable it would be the one but over a beanie it's a tad tight and scalp blood-denial shit.

Sissy bar & rack.
Rear seat.
Panniers.
Crash bar.
Screen.

The tassles and confederate flag on a pole have already been culled.

Yeah, I'm thinking a good clean followed by some of that USAAF oil stuff.

Good choice. Much better once you're removed all of the extra stuff. Single seat is always nice.

Remember to use imperial spanners, although you will also come across a lot of torx fittings, and sometimes the allen bolts on the brakes are metric (if they bought decent calipers from a Euro or Japanese manufacturer).

Just somebody who admires the way the Waffen-SS kicked the living shit out of anyone who came up against them. Plus my granddaddy served in the 5th SS.

Very Happy

Yeah, fucking torx screws. Lol. Luckily I have a set of them to go on my ratchet. "Why the fuck do none of these allen-keys fit..." Laughing

I tried the baffles out this afternoon (it has a stage-1 tune with Screaming Eagle pipes). The sound was glorious but the machine-gun fire on the over-run wasn't. Baffles back in (still loud as fuck).

I think it was the cheaper stage-1, I didn't spot a power-commander under the seat.

Someone posts photos of their newly purchased Harley and no one has called them a fag yet? Rolling Eyes
