  1. thanks mate.

    Just got back from dropping it off for the custom work.

    Getting a charcoal 'leather look' vinyl for the main area of the seat.

    And a darker black Ostrich leather for the bum pad area.

    Will have some grey or red stitching and piping(will decide exactly, when I go back friday to test the foam fabrication)

     

    this will be my seat for the next week

    Guy in the Harley jacket is my first instructor from 1989 ish, became lifelong friends since

    Guy with Dreads is one of the coolest cats on the planet, is a project manager from Hutchies Builders

     

    We did 390 ks approx, 1st hr in pouring rain, Tbar, Heifer ck, Gatton, Esk to the dams, then Glorious for a cuppa.

    Awesome time.

     

    Next trip will be to the Gold coast via the hinterlands and a bit of trek that way, maybe Hinze dam, Numminbah Prison area

    any of you cats are welcome to rock along.

  3. Thanks mate

     

    A little funny story

     

    Pulled into supercheap for some Locktite the other day and bump into the Harley parts guy, Aiden.

    We catch up, short chat and at the end he says something like "Oh, and wash your bloody bike" with a smirk.

    I reply that this is my daily and gotta ride it ErrDay.

    Not sure he understands that my only day off is generally Sunday. She gets all my love then, though....lol

    Shoulda bought a boat perhaps

    Instead of a Harley

    Sht Tbar Weather

  4. i feel you mate.

    Joined a local facebook group called 'Darling Downs Riders'.

    Went for one ride with them.

    A few were nice don't get me wrong, but the majority were the type who sat up people's asses, gesturing at the vehicles in front to mvoe over and if they didn't give them the finger, overtaking dangerously, speeding, etc.

    Let the group race ahead, I maintained my cruise speed. When i got home, I wrote a nasty post bagging the riders responsible, left the page and blocked as many members as I could after they private messaged or posted me, saying sht like "YOU ME CARPARK NOW..!!!"

     

    I generally ride solo or ride to brissie or coast and meet a real mate and ride for the day, then back home

  5. The Screamin' Eagle NightStick finally arrived.

    Fitted it at work, and rode it home, loved it..!

    Will upload a better pic and vid when i can.

     

    Interesting discussion with the Harley sales rep who sold me the bike.

    He said that since they arrived late Feb, til now(under 2 months), The Harley Street is now the Best selling LAMS cruiser in Australia

    Surpassing the well established Yamaha 650 off it's perch

    Insane, if true

  6. small update.

    Exhaust still not here. hopefully late this coming week, they say..

     

    Reduced cable angle on bars from 120, down to under 80 degrees, with a new mount, for neater fitment behind cowl.

    Also fitted a shorty lever because 'RaceCar'..! (Oh wait..)

    prior to fitment

    Notice how the cable's angle away from the bar, pushes against the cowl

     

    10931728_10205524233176986_8776785058173980051_n.jpg?oh=8ad6d1da0e05b5e74e86177fbc7b6256&oe=55E2ED31&__gda__=1440924878_d3820eaa1ebc63b763ad34d6b9d1b28b

    a lot tighter angle, better fit behind the cowl, no longer pressing against it

    shot of the whole bars and setup

    Soo bloody happy with it..!

     

    Exhaust should be here this week too

  8. Like this sort of thing?

    http://pages.ebay.co...id=381206238353

     

    New bars look perfect. Looking more like my mates street bob now. ��

    i like that seat Stu, but i bought one for my monkeybike once and it just never sat right, admittedly, from a different supplier.

    but i will take my existing seat to Evan's Trim Shop in town here and get it custom moulded to suit and look a lil like WildThang's Roland Sands Design seat

    48-25.jpg

    I do like the high rise back support on it.

    I'll get mine shaped similar, but then get different coloured piping and stictching
