    removed pillion pegs, seat strap.

     

    Next is to re-mould the seat and add some red,white or grey piping/stitching.

    and look at fender eliminators or this tail tidy

    Harley Davidson Street 750 Fender Eliminator KIT | eBay

     

     

     

    tho i am not too happy with that look, wanted an older style cafe tail

     

    SUGGESTIONS?

     

    thanks for your time

    So my mate ended up ordering a black denim street 500, like yours Zowie. Test ride was awesome other than being a bit damp, I could ride one daily no worries. They are pretty much on par with an 883 sporty, definatly not lacking punch for a LAMS bike.

    They offered me a test on a 72, I had to decline as I probably would have bought one, love the look of em.

     

    haha awesome mate..!

    and Hey Stu, have you seen WildThang's 48?

     

     

    It's my inspiration for this build

     

    Rest of my plans are:

    Get the V & H Nightstick exhaust fitted as soon as it arrives(Rang today, still not here)

    Get Evan's Trim Shop to cut down my existing seat, custom fab it to a single seater, with some red piping/stitching and something cool.

    Got onto a guy in town who can fab up some custom forward controls for me, for approx $500. Will have to wait for a while for that.

     

    Something i have also started to look into as a long term plan/no rush, is to import a 750cc engine or barell/piston kit from O/Seas

    I saw the recent May interview and he implied that the show is the 3 of them, if Clarkson goes, they all go

     

    Clarkson has also said he wont go quietly.. it's gonna drag on for a while I think

     

    I hope the BBC, at the very least, show the remainder of the season.

    love the 48's Stu..!

     

    nearly committed to one of them about 6 mths ago, but think their tank size was tiny? the only drawback on such a great looking rig

     

    And just got back from the dealers..!

    I was seriously going to buy a large backpack for work once the bike came through. they throw one in with the deal..!

    SCORE

    2 year roadside assist. 2 year unlimited KM warranty.

    The Screamin' Eagle Nightstick will be in at the end of the month.

    Will try to time the fitting of it, with the 1600k service.

    Heading to Mt Glorious/Somerset Dam(we do a 400k route approx.) this weekend with a mate, if anyone has a bike and keen?

    OK, time to confess.

    As some of the R.C guys saw the pics on my Facebook today

     

    I'll start with my review copied from a Bike page on Facebook:

     

    I went to the Boyd Yung Street 500 Reveal on the 26th feb, booked a test ride, right then and there. got the call and off we went this arvo.

    It felt more nimble than an iron 883, and had a lower center of gravity. the power was nothing to write home about, but the bike felt faster than the iron for sure, power/weight ratio? this thing felt at least 20kgs lighter .

    the foot position felt slightly more forward than the std mid mount controls on most harleys. which felt fine with my short legs.

    it reminds me of a mini V Rod.

    I reckon i would use one as a commuter for sure. nimble, easy to manouver with enough grunt through any of the 6 gears to accelerate out of trouble when needed.

    I would definitely get the aftermarket exhaust ASAP. as the std one sounded like any other 500cc.

    my 2c review

     

    They un crated her and sent me a couple pics

    I ordered the aftermarket exhaust, a Screamin' Eagle Night stick, but it wont be in til the end of the month(they will fit it for free when it arrives)

    I chose it as i love the look of the classic Super Trap single exhausts and it looks and sounds just fine

    You and your wacky two wheelers was some of the inspiration for me getting two rgv's. All that matters is grin factor v dollars.

    Will be following your thread on them for sure, mate

     

    and yeah we have a darn close guess.

    hoping this afternoon after work, i can take pics(if it arrives today)

    Hi mate, apologies for the late reply, lost my login info.

     

    i have retired from professional competition a few years ago, but i am still affiliated with the club, as I believe it's the only place for real BJJ and MMA in town.

    Edit: Tho, I wish Jukesy was still there..

     

    Back on topic, love your car...!

    so clean

    Spotted this at the corner of Taylor and McGregor sts the other day. Gave you the thumbs up, I was in the little delivery car. Sounds and looks great.

    Hey, do you know Tyson Mac(removed rest of his surname) at all.? He was showing me pics at the gym, of an 86 he was painting not long ago. Wasn't this one?
