My Springer by Y2KHD

Re: Welcome Y2KHD to Bike Talk

Thanks Johnny for the info. Yes, I downloaded a free program called Image Magic cause
I hadn't done that before. I always found myself taking the high intensity pics to that I
could always blow them up to say 8 x 10 's. So I did that, and I followed I thought his
directions, but it still didn't post like I thought it would, but just stayed an attachment.
Oh well, thanks for the assist again. Thanks to FLHTbiker for making it come out right!!

Re: Welcome Y2KHD to Bike Talk

Thank you so much for fixing everything. This computer stuff maybe more than an old
man can master. Anyway, I'm not sure which brand name of mufflers they are, but it
is so loud it sounds like baffles might be gone. Guy, I bought it from mentioned some name of some high priced muffler system, but if I heard the name I might recall. I do
love the sound of this bike. Even my wife thinks it sounds so cool, and she's not easily
impressed. You definitely can hear it coming from a quite a distance off. Thanks again
for your great assistance.

Re: Welcome Y2KHD to Bike Talk

One more thing my bike I think is the same color as yours, but I would have preferred
your gas tank paint pattern instead of mine, as mine seems to have too much green on
it and not enough eye contrast for me, but oh well, I'm lucky to have any bike and I do
still like the old world look to the HD's rather than the new stylish looks they keep drifting
towards. I feel like such a'n idiot trying to figure out whether I'm posting or replying in
the right spot on this site.

Yes, Vance & Hines that is what allegedly I have as the exhaust system. Nice pics of
your bike. Yes, I wasn't that hot on this color at first, but it too has grown on me. I
thought I would have chosen one of these flashy hot HD colors, but this one is more like
my personality anyway.

Thank you again for all your help. I hope one day to figure out where I should be on this site.

FLHTbiker:

I just heard from another biker source that the Bright Ass Lights Co. said they may have
other products like a type of assembly that will work for us with older bikes and "tombstone shaped" taillights and should be available sometime in August this year.
Also I was wondering what you thought if I was considering mounting a front fender
ornament the lighted eagle if it was proportional to the setting. And I wondered what you
thought if that would look to "cheesy" or diminish the old world look of the Springer model??? Also that Bright Ass Light assembly moves the back license plate down under the main taillight and what you thought of that appearance???

Don't mount anything on the front fender. Cheesy is what it will look like. JMO

+1 Save the fender ornaments for the Indians... JMO

welcome to the forum brother ! enjoy them springers are cool bikes love the old school look.:cheers:

Thanks bud for the input cause when I first looked at it it seemed like it was worth considering, but as time went on I started thinking it would definitely detract from the
old world HD image and look. Thanks for taking the time and advice.

One thing for sure is I don't want to ruin the old school look. One thing for sure the license plate does stick out.

I kind of thought you would say that and when and if I get a look at the tombstone one
I will forward or post a pic. Thanks againd bud!! See I messed this up trying to copy and post your reply.

What makes that bike is the way the fender and springer mounts set each other off . They are awesome with the wide whites . Hey I never looked real close and I can't tell from the pics do they run single calipers or dual can't seem to wrap my head around if they made room for two with the later model springer front end?

Hey, bud, it was only a thought. I like the stock light and after discussion realize it would compromise the old world look of the HD Springer!
