Been spending far too much time on four wheels mainly because I didn't love my excellent Kawasaki ZZR1400 :moped:
Originally starting discussing this project with Kings Road Customs last year, she is a 1200cc vee twin Harley Davidson, with a Roland Sands stage two tune, which consists of new cams, injectors, screaming eagles EFi tuner and Vance & Hines short shots straight through exhausts.
She has been sat at Elite Painters in Fulham for weeks waiting for my own custom design paint and following broken promise after promise, Kings told me last week that Elite have now gone bust :hair:
However they retrieved the tank, mudguards and side panels etc and not only refunded the paint money, but also a chunk of the modification money as a good will gesture :up:
So if you know of a 1st class custom painter/air brusher please let me know (PhilO's bike painter isn't interested and Rocky's number doesn't work)

Yes I know it doesn't exactly match, but one HAS to have some carbon fibre :jerkoff:

Still belt drive despite their recommendation to upgrade to chain and sprockets due to the mods, I hate chains >:(

Extra fuel can because the main fuel tank is tiny and will only give you a 70 mile range tops :shotgun:

The bike is also keyless, as you approach the bike with the transponder in your pocket it automatically disables the alarm and rearms as you walk away :secure:
As with the trailer it's also been Datatagged :

Always swore that I'd never buy a Harley, but I just couldn't commit to my first choice of a Ducati Deval, because parts of it have been beaten with the ugly stick and second choice the Triumph Thunderbird Storm is badly made :ORIG-slap:

So still plenty to do, custom paint (awesome colour choice that is very difficult to paint so I'm told), some custom graphics (agreed and ordered, but quite a long lead time), recover the seat in brown leather and change the rear shocks to black ones :wink:
and Harley haters gonna hate :kkk:
Now THAT I like, VERY :cool:
Not into bikes as I always state, but that is cool as FUCK. :cowboy:
That side-satchel is perfect! :clap3:
Bit far maybe, but we have a paint shop here in Swindon called "South West Customs" who only do "different" types of paint jobs .....

:yup:
Very nice :up:
Very nice looking bike
Very nice - when can I have a go :tongue:
Rocky is still about, I bought a steering box from him a few weeks ago. Try contacting him through ebay - he always has a bunch of 3rd gen stuff listed under ID 'clairecar'
I know a couple of 'airbrush' types if you're into that?
One called Steve Hatt who does a lot of racers helmets, particularly in the BTCC...
