MOT time

Legal for a day..

Sportster upgrades continued..

Got some NOS rear shocks from the XL1200S for a really good price.  Larger diameter with a gas reservoir and adjustable compression and rebound (two settings I won't know what to do with)

(By the way, painting the brakelight bulb red because the lens fell out doesn't really work, it just looks off white..)

Sportster upgrades

My first trip after changing to the older style sportster tank I ran out of petrol on the motorway with no phone battery.  After that I tended to get really paranoid and fill up at every petrol station I saw.

Phase 1 of the upgrades - install some kind of clever petrol metering device

Thanks to Tosh for the welding!

Looking forward..

..to the weather getting better again.

Cambridge, last summer.

Coming of age

     Turned 21 Christmas holidays which in England means your license gets de-restricted.  Ditched the Honda Bros and upgraded to my first Harley.  Sportster 883 increased to 1200 with a Buell torso.  Unsurprisingly the 45 was put on hold for a bit.
