When writing the story of your life, don’t let anyone else hold the pen.
A lot cheaper too, about £40 on ebay.Ok Andy,
I've noted that you have a Motherwell rack fitted to your "Forty Eight". I have one on my "Iron", they are a lot neater than the genuine Harley effort and I like the way it follows the curve of the rear fender. The Harley one juts out horizontally and it has ugly mounting struts.
Motherwell 1.
Harley-Davidson 0.
Just big enough for a fuel can.

Ok 749s,
No more Spikking the Doric.
I have fitted an H-D rev counter upgrade to my 2011 "Iron", I didn't like just having a speedo, I too like to know what rpm my motor is doing.
The kit part # is 67182-07. I bought mine 4 years ago from Jersey H-D for about £340 + £12 P&P, Don't know if this kit is still available from Harley.
See images.

There is a newer single clock version with digital speedo and analogue rev counter.
Part # is 70900274. Price from Jersey H-D is £264.97 no VAT to pay if bought online.
Always check with the dealer if the upgrades are compatible with your particular model before purchasing. I always buy my Harley parts from Jersey H-D due to them not charging 20% VAT. If you return orders to Jersey H-D, they are liable to a 20% re-stocking charge.

Hope that's helped you.
Ride Safe,
Dave.

Ok Streetbob,
You don't know your born in Berkshire weather-wise.
120 bridges have been damaged in West Yorkshire alone due to the recent flooding.
See the attached images of the collapsed 160 year old Elland Bridge.

And this is why I can't complain too much about the weather here.

Ok Smithy,
I don't have a car licence either, and I've no intention of getting one.
I've had a full motorcycle licence since 1980, that's all I need, roll on spring.
