Thoughts? It’s 20 years old and when I did a check on it earlier, it came up with ‘miles 10k less now than in….‘. Assuming that’s the Bobber Bros custom point though.
I really wouldn't. Old ones need maintaining by someone who knows what they're doing. Get a 48 that's had some upgrades done. E.G. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134578115421 ... R674_MWKYg

Picking the bottom one up tomorrow morning.
By jiggedy! Good going.

Spare a stupid few minutes where I had go navigate the NatWest banking app to Up! my payment limit- all smooth. Lovely guy.

Just rode the 40 miles home ( back roads). Rocked up, took pictures, off back out again.

I’m probably too big for the bike but I don’t care. It’s lovely. Sounds lovely and with those bars, is so easy to ride.

Might do a full write up when it’s raining if anyone is interested -but very pleased.

Christ the ebay pictures didnt do it justice did they!! Thats properly lovely. Love the AMF details! Grenades on it as well. Sir will be needing ear plugs! FWIW, you'll forget the size after a while and stop thinking you look like a frog! :thumbup:

Happy New Bike Day!!!

Looks alright that, I guess the white rims kind of make it look like it has white wall tyres

Happy new bike day, apart from the feckin stupid grips, footrest rubbers and air filter, it looks good.
Can it have a million seat?
Isn't it far too new to be an AMF Harley?
Wasn't the AMF period Harley at their most unreliable?

Didn’t realise IKEA sold assless chaps ….. happy new bike day you weirdo ;)

Good job you bought a copy AMF Harley for the paintjob instead of a real one as they were even shonkier than Buells

Probably Biltwells. I put their grips on mine, albeit in a different colour. Super comfy! Might put some on the Ducati! :D

Thank you, I've been trying to remember the name of those grips for a while now.

Love the logo/tank.

It does look a little bit like it should be written on a blank VHS cassette packet, but I find that endearing.
