...seen at Cheltenham Harley this morning.
And how much did they want for it?
Am I missing something ? Why on earth would you want 'quick release' brake lines ...
But surely the money you spend on your Harley is an investment... That's what the salesman said...Apparently, the guy who built it works for Harley UK and I think they said the price he wants is £11,500 which doesn’t begin to cover what it cost to build. I’m afraid I don’t know anything else about it, but Cheltenham Harley do

My Sportster 1200 had quick release master cylinder lids.Am I missing something ? Why on earth would you want 'quick release' brake lines ...

Mine certainly was.Only if kept standard or farkled with Harley parts, I guess. As with all specials I’ve known, this was more a work of passion than shrewd investment

Save yourself the misery and just buy an R9T.
It says it's now a 1200 with high compression pistons and SE heads.Not sure I see the point of that as it is still just an 883 engine. Buy a Super Duke, save money and have a better handling, faster, comfier bike. To each their own though. It would be a boring world if we were all the same.
Did you manage to shift it for more privately?Mine certainly was.
My 883 was fitted with HD 1200 barrels & pistons, SE heads, SE flatslide carb, SE race cams, ignition & exhaust. HD dual seat, sissy and rack, forward controls, 1200S brakes, HD tacho and top spec Progressive rear shocks. 1200 gearing, HD luggage rails and HD Slant Latigo leather panniers. Not to mention the HD locking fuel cap and HD handlebar click. The list went on and on.
When it came to trade in, I was offered stock 883 money... as it started life as an 883.
I didn't trade in.
I don't know mate.Bet it’s food fun trying to insure that ! Was this the battle of the kings bike for that dealer ?
A little but not much.Did you manage to shift it for more privately?
Haha. I get that. Stripping bits, photographing them, advertising them, dealing with people who want them in exchange for a tube of Smarties (red ones missing), packaging, dispatching...A little but not much.
There was a very strong argument for converting it back to stock and selling the parts separately, but I didn't have the free time to do so.
If I'd have had the free time to do so, I'd have had time to ride it...
