hey bro, lovin' those Avon tires! How does the bike handle with 'em? Looks to me like one would have to be careful not to ''run out of tread'' on corners, but that may just be an optical illusion? Also, i think you mentioned earlier about mounting the front tire backwards due to the rear style tread pattern?

thanks for any input you can provide! :]

 

Here is the link to my forty eight. I'm in the process of doing several mods:

 

This is actually part one before my rush pipes:

 

It's stock, or I assume it is. Was on the bike when I bought it.

 

Sorry for the late reply.

Design templates were from the painter. I took him pics and a drawing.

Triumph is an 06.

 

San Diego To Long Beach is a crappy ride when you have forward controls and clip ons. I found a guy in long beach to trade me for his mids.

The blue bike is awesome. He paid 500 for the paint and pinstripes, everyone assumed it was at least couple grand in the paint before he filled us in. He won a few competitions. I love that fking tiki man. 2007 Electra glide (I think?)

My new clipons. I love them, but my back doesnt.



14 hours in the california sun with no sunscreen is not fun at all.

 

Damm............cant unsee that last pic.

The blue bike looks a little interesting but gotta say...............YAWN on the other bikes...........I mean, look at the 2 bikes on the left in the first pic..........IDENTICAL ,I just dont get it......oh well.

Your sportster to me just stands out from the crowd..........guess thats why I like em.

 

Ya I agree, which is why I mentioned only the blue bike. The other bikes were just dudes I cruised with, boring old men who stood around shooting racial slurs and talking about all the stuff they could've done, like this was REALLY still the 60's and we were REALLY in some sort of notorious biker gang. I ended up breaking off from them and riding solo on the way home. Dont like riding at old man speed. 55mph

When we got to the event, There were only about 6 sportsters in the lot, and we got the most attention. Everyone loved the fat front tire on the forty eight and the bobbed look of the nightsters. Didn't see any 883's. Im happy to have chosen my forty eight, I turn more heads then half of these other bike I ride with.

 

Nothing really new, just replaced the white rubber grips for some black ones. This was at my office last Friday. Right before it poured almost 4" of rain in a couple hours. There was 6" on the street when I left the office.

 

Dude, that looks painful
