RE: Real live '08 Standard
ORIGINAL: 08FXST
Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum (though I have been lurking for a month or so), and a new Harley owner as well. I had several Japanese sport bikes, and then a bit of a family break, and about a month ago bought the Harley I always wanted. I'm in Australia where they still do the standard this year, and I bought an '08 FXST dealer demo (better than waiting six months or more!).
The dealer had already done several mods;
mini ape bars
reaper front wheel
smoke turn signals
LED tail light
ironside pegs and controls
Vance & Hines sideshot pipes and FuelPack
SE filter and billet aircleaner
Since owning the bike I've added;
Chrome engine kit
Chrome inner primary
Various Harley skull bits and pieces..mirrors, covers etc
flush mount fuel cap and guage
The next mod on the list is a reaper rear wheel to match the front, and then of course more chrome
I'm very happy to have found the forums, and thanks for all the ideas and information I've already got. I've been having a fantastic time with the bike, with a very active bunch of friends and HOG chapter to go riding with, and even back and forth to the shops or work I still have a permanent grin.

Man there a lot of nice daytrains here. Looks like I've got a new rear wheel and tire coming soon. Hopefully solo seat and 422's by the end of May. You guys give so many good ideas it's hard to decide what to do next.

Hey rabbit, where are yathat your still seeing snow?
08fxst your bikes lookin good man ! Sounds like the start of a long relationship. Welcome to the forum.
Took a ride down the St. Clair Pkwy near my place yesterday. What a sweet day for a ride. About 250 miles or so. What is it about bikes and water that just go good together ?

Hey Mojo, rain's finally moving out. Think I'll ride the skooter to work the rest of the week.

RE: Real live '08 Standard
Sounds like fun, have a good time and ride safe. I'll be at an antique engine & tractor show. One hobby deals with chrome, the other in rust.
yep, and even better it's supposed to be a great weekend! There's a 200 mile poker run around here Saturday, and I think I'm going to do that run. I did one for "Relay for Life" last weekend, but it was only 80 miles. Of course I didn't win squat, but it was still a good ride.......

A guy was at the local HD not long ago picking up a part or something and had just returned from an antique engine show. He had an old "hit and miss" (hope that's what he called it) engine on a trailer used for grinding corn, and also doubled as a water pump. He started it for us and it was amazing to hear it run. It would fire and rotate several tiimes before firing again........really interesting to see.
