Re: Show us your old girls

I thought I'd posted a couple of pictures in the past but it seems I dreamed it...

So, here is my current Shovel (the black one) and the one I was looking for that I bought in 1981 from Moto Veccia in Colliers Wood. It vanished from DVLA records decades ago.

I am 'customising' (It will no doubt fit in someone's category but I can't define it beyond 'Customised'. I will post another picture once it's finished but the bike with the copper tank is the black one as it is now.
I have saved all the old take-off parts for my grandson to use on the inevitable restoration in thirty year's time...

Morning.

My 1983 FLHP that replaced the chop. I've had it since the start of the summer. Not everyone's cup of tea but I'm enjoying getting to grips with it. The drag pipes are grim but I have got them working now better than expected.

Re: Show us your old girls

Thanks Neil, very pleased with it. As John said earlier a pogo seat would be good. I'm also going to do something with the pipes as well. There's cheese grater baffles in them now with the tangs bent back to 45 degrees. Found the S&S factory videos very helpful in getting the bike running better, please note I didn't say tuned ;-). The headlamp peak and crash bars are now removed as well.

Re: Show us your old girls

The jam rolls used to make quite a few replica 45 parts, I guess they still do - Riders Club Poland was founded based on us! (Their president, Jan Kwilman, rode over for one of our Shipley rallies on his full military WLA, picking up a Dutch pillion on route!)
