    There are some fine older bikes out there but that hurst on the back of that bike would have to go. Might go good on the kids bike. ;) can carry the canteen and lots of extra cloths. :roflmao:

    But that's original equipment I'm guessing, fugly or not. I'd keep the fridge. Looks mighty uncomfortable for the passenger, though . . .

    If you look at the picture real close the trunk is cut out for the passenger and bet there is a back rest pad as well. Looks like it would lock the passenger in there pretty good. Bet that big trunk would hold a couple of big canteens :)

    I saw the indent for a passenger but no back pad. A far cry from today's easy chair style. But trunks - well, they all look pretty fugly to me LOL.

    But I can't deny that they are also very functional, if you like carrying all the amenities for comfortable travelling.

    When going up to Ohio last summer, I forwarded all my extra stuff parcel post to my destination. :)

    If the original "buddy" seat was on the passenger would have lots of room...The trunk might look fugly,but you could pack a lot of refreshments in it;)

    I road with a several late 60 and early 70's Harleys back in the day. The reality is that that "refrigerator" was needed to carry the black and decker workmate. The saddle bags were loaded with ballpeen hammers, visegrips, crowbars, 10 pound sledge, extra clutch cables, throttle cables, shift lever, assortment of nuts, bolts, duck tape, electrical tape, jumper cables, tow rope, 4 quarts of oil, speedy dry, rags, waterless hand cleaner, chain breaker and several master links, and valiums to help settle yer body from vibrating!

    Shouldn't hurt a bit I would take my time and gently remove all the tape with my teeth. :devil:

    And for the record my '59 Duo Glide with the pogo seat (set with heavy duty springs and helper springs) and a good set of shocks was an extremely comfortable ride.

    Aloha...Mike

    My first ride on a HOG was a buddies 1981 80 EG. Black Cherry Color. I guess my forearms were too skinny cause my hands kept vibrating off the grips. I had trouble holding onto that beast. But of course I was riding a gold wing back then and the only vibration was when I was hungry and my stomach was growling!

    My first ride on a HOG was in 1966 and I thought that bike was a monster. Couldn't believe how big it was. Heck I was riding a Yamaha 80 CC then. :D

    Talk about vibration, I had a '68 Triumph 650 Bonnie that would make your arms and legs go numb after 50 miles. After that bike, vibration was relative, but Hondas felt numb before you went a mile.

    That is a terrible waste of duct tape!
