WTF is it with fitting deathtrap white walls to bikes in this country. I bet the people who sell these bikes on then tell everyone they had a Harley once but the handling was shit

Those tyres are not HD Dunlop's - look like Avon or Continental Whitewalls....
Ride it into a skip and then go to the pub ?
I see it comes with it's own trailer for when it breaks down too
....just getting up off the floor where I've been rolling around in paroxysms of laughter at the comments of the previous two posters. God, they are so witty.
However, looks like a great bike for stripping down, keeping simple and "hooning" about on.
And I agree with Twizzle, the whitewalls don't look like the OEM Dunlops so may well be perfectly OK.

Right, time to play today so did the following...
Got the idiot lights working (all bad connections barring one blown bulb). Removed the heat shields from the exhausts, exhaust is next to be removed as the front pipe is blowing. I'm taking them off and getting them welded. I have ordered some black wrapping for the exhaust, going to leave the Screaming Eagle mufflers on as someone suggested..
Oh, and the tyres are Avon Venoms (well done Richard!!)

Hmm....may I suggest that's not good for this time of year.....fenders ( mudguards in non-yank speak) are there for a reason...no matter how cool it looks with them chopped down....
Whatever you do don't get rid of the balance pipe on the downpipes.
I bought a 1200 sporty new in 1989. Great fun. 16,000 miles in the first year

So today i mainly removed the exhaust, i need a new front pipe really, then changed the bars over. The 3rd pic shows the bike with the Buckhorn bars on. I tidied up a bit of wiring then fitted the new brake light switch to the front. I prefer the new bars, and they feel quite comfortable as well...

They look like flat tracker bars. They suit the bike.
