yeah that windshield KILLS the looks... but I hear ya about function over form...

glad you got to work on the bike a bit... help clear your head at all?

A little... but it was like squeezing in an hr here and hr there. So no... not really. What I need is some good miles... but with this stuff and a crappy weather... no riding in a week or whatever...

The rally still looking like a possibility?

Looks good Gas. UC looks a lot cleaner with the Trunk removed.

Is the lic place mounting legal on the sporty though??

Damn man, looks fuckin good for a harley. I think I could get comfy in that seat too.

A few observations from my end.

*The windshield and hiway bars on the Sporty look terrible.
*The Willy G stuff looks awesome
*The UC looks incredible with the trunk off.


Nice job.

I agree with everyone else, the UC does look better with the trunk off. As for the sport, the only reason the highway pegs stand out is because the bike is all black. The windshield does take away a little, but it isn't anything huge. Over time it'll start to look funny without it.

As far as the electronic upgrades go, I'd like to look into a tach and temp gauge as well as a few other things after I get a new job. Small upgrades, but nice to have.

You did good, Gas. I actually feel motivated to learn more about this stuff. Now if I can only fight the laziness telling me to do it later..

I think it must be legal for the most part. Otherwise it wouldn't be on there... its stock HD.

As far as the highway pegs on the nite... they are a must for me with mid controls.

The chrome on it... well there is only a few parts of chrome... the highway pegs, engine bar, and pipes. We may change that next winter... but not now.

Look at what I found today...

No price tag
No keys

$24k according to the sales person

Stab Count of dealership personell by the Phoenix = 3

Hence, the cones.

Did that make you miss it?

bike looks good setting there... rather than in your garage... IMO...

Looks tits without the trunk.

*ducks and hides from fatburg's wrath*

Its bitter sweet, ya know. I'm really over the chop thing. What I... I'm not sure what the word is, but the fact that I can tell you about every bolt on it leaves me with something... :scratch:

It does look badass sitting there. I think its the diamond plated floor n shit. But why do you say?

DO IT!!:rockwoot:

because as you said... it was more maintenance than riding... good looking bike... but from the sounds of it... that's all it was good for... looking at. :idk:


you coming to the rally? ok... good :D

IDK about that rally shit... I would like to put in a few shorter trips first...

Well ya got a month :lol:

My BiL has had a number of UC's, it's a nice bike for going long distance. And I had to add a windshield to my fxdwg3, I couldn't see otherwise.

A couple days later after I found this... they finally got a tag on it. $24,495...

And it says at the bottom under assc.
"sharp points everywhere"

I'm glad I never seen any of my babies on the auction block.

Then an upgrade to the Street Classic's audio

HogTunes took care of that

Its a bitter sweet thing...

real funny to see peeps checking it out when I'm standing there...

Wow :rofl:

WOW What? I'm cornfused

I think she just Finds it funny?? Lol

You never know with that one

Yeah a special person, huh...

6883 miles, you really didn't like riding it did ya. This new one better have more than that just this year alone.

Yeah.. in 06 the bike didnt live with me cause i worked out of town, then i moved n that didnt help cause the wife was still at the old digs. so then i had two places to deal with===suck

07 was good

08 was down right miserable as previously said. i might hv done only 1200 miles n the wife only a few hundred. == suck

grand total == mega suck

honestly it shud be more like 8xxx miles cause i rode it twice for months without a working speedo. its on its third speedo.

got over 600 on the new ride already

it's funny how the miles rack up on a new bike... I wasn't really try'n and had 1100 in 7 days :lol: (I was off work all 7 days) the bike has probably racked up another 100 since :panic: just needed my truck to move stuff after work and shit.

when I get home the truck's gonna be parked for a while... with a for sale sign. so should milage should pick up again :D

Ain't that the truth Ebbs

If this flood and F'd up hours/weather ever quit, I should start getting miles on mine again too.


I'm guessing that the april 30 TD is out of the question now though... :(

Well for those of you that may give 2 shits... I'll lay out the most recent updates.

I did a set of new speakers
http://www.twowheelfix.com/showthread.php?t=7455

Then I ordered a few other things within 2 orders.

the new air wing luggauge rack for the tourpack.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...08645_0_0a.jpg

Then decided that the optional brake light might look good under there...

So I ordered that in the smoked lens.
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Comfort002.jpg

I originally was setup to run as a running light but I wanted it to be just a brake light for more attention.
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Comfort004.jpg

Also, picked up a lid organizer to help maximize space usage for upcoming travels.
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Comfort001.jpg

Then for the long hauls I ordered a fully adustable backrest.

Started the install by mounting the mechanism
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Comfort005.jpg

Run the cable and mount the lever
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Comfort007.jpg

The seat goes back on and you don't even know the difference
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Comfort008.jpg

grab the backrest itself
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...Comfort009.jpg

Instant, fully adjustable comfort

Put in for a new amp for my b-day, so we'll see if I get that this weekend. :D

Beyond that I think I'm done. Just got the bike back today from its 1k service (I always take every bike in for its first service). So I just want to put on some miles... can't wait to ride to work tomry.

damn, that thing looks comfortable as all hell

Nice mods, brother. My days of riding to work are over. I haven't started my bike in 2 weeks.

Can you leave that backrest on with Uma on back Gas??

Why's that? New gig make it difficult, or the weather been too bad?

Yeah the backrest can stay with passenger. Plus with a click of a lever in the seat hole it comes right out/off.

Mainly b/c I won't park it in a garage all day. Im just paranoid someone will steal it or fuck with it. And I have to wear a shirt and tie most days.

I did get a ride in today. First time in two weeks. Now, more rain.

Dealership says they have tons of guys wanting to buy it, but HD finance is giving them crap for any non-hd, and the credit unions won't finance anything over blue book $19k. So the buyer would need everything over $19k plus the tax, title, plates. Further supposetly if its still there at the end of the month some guy is coming in with cash. The other people also come in and want the bike bad... tell the finance guy "sure I haven't paid my mortgage in 6 months but I want this bike!". :lol:

But the bigger kick... look at the price drop! Nearly $4k off sticker
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3...6216594798.jpg

must be hurtin

They dont want to keep em on the floor too long.

Damn. Looks like you made out on that deal.

You aren't kidding...

Right now HD dealers aren't marking down MSRP prices. But when I worked the deal, i got 19 on the trade and 1k off each bike. That's why I said $21k is what I had on the trade. So now they are loosing money...

all means... ME HAPPY

Cool.

Hell yeah, homie.

OH I forgot to add I told em I wasn't paying for assembly and frieght either.

ZING. :lol:

No shit... That new sticker sure did make my day the other day!

This just in...

The chop has officially been sold on Friday!

guess you cant buy it back now.

Bought time.

I don't know if it's because you got one an I am now noticing them but I am seeing UC's all over the fucking road. They're taking over.

Yeah not sure Rider. But I'll bet most of them with no tourpacks are Street Glides.

Not when they say Ultra classic on the fender. :?:

Well DUH.

:rofl: Thats a dead give away, isn't it?

it could just be a trick to confuse us

Could be... hehehe

Maybe they just bought the Decal :lol:

Had an older gentleman come up to me at the gas station over the weekend asking me all sorts of questions about my Buell.
I had no prob answering them as it's not often you find someone around here that knows what a Buell is, much less anything about them or interest in them. A ways into the convo, he mentioned that he was thinking about getting one as a second bike, to sit next to his Ultra Classic...
That kinda took me for supprise, but hey, each to their own!

What is older mean to you?

This particular instance, late 50's.

Yeah I understand that POV.

A bit different for sure.

Awesome. There's a guy around here on a 1125R...he's probly early 40's. Said he traded in his Harley for it.
