ANDY'S HARLY

A Friend and possible future member of the club

 

I bought the bike new in march 07, its a harley fatboy. i was well pleased with it but not overjoyed when i pulled in at big ds last summer and there were two identical to mine in the carpark! something had to be done. from the word go it had been stage oned, with vance and hines short shot exhausts put on it. made it sound like a harley and not a bloody sewing machine. then i had to replace the standard number plate when i took someone on the back who wasnt holding on properly and his back hit it and snapped it in half! then, i came across some second hand supreme legend forward controls at a good price. the existing footboards went, i was never keen on them as they constantly ground down. winter came so it was time to take it off the road and get the paint job done that you see in the pics. the fluted ends of the standard mudguards were never really to my liking so i took a hacksaw to them! the taillight and new numberplate was removed and a plate welded into the resuting hole.i gave them a rough idea as to what i was looking for and thats the result. pretty good i think. also while it was off the road i managed to scrape the money together for a big bore kit, taking it from 1584cc to 1690, using screaming eagle barrels and pistons. the seat base had to be re shaped to fit the stretched zodiac tank that i replaced the stock one with. i took the seat base and had it re-covered and the padding took out to lower it slightly. ive also replaced the handlebar grips with supreme legend ones, though i havnt any pics of them yet. im at the stage now of putting it all back together, more pics shortly when its all in one piece.
