Rear View

list of changes
SE air cleaner & rejet
Slip on mufflers (not SE but not sure what)
chrome headlight trim ring
Detachable sissy bar
Progressive front springs
Progressive 11" HD rear shocks
Mustang Vintage Solo Seat, Pillion Pad & Fender Bib.

there are more to come, but now i have a credit card bill to pay off first.:frownone
im very pleased with the detachable setup and well worth the extra money

future plans include relocating the tail light and number plate to the side.
possibly drag bars (althougth i do like the position this set up put me in)
chrome front spokes, easier to clean

Nice Bike!!

Did you remove the side reflectors, or do the Aussies Bikes not come with them??

G'day Crackers


just check with ya local Dpt Transport as side mount number plates and tail are illegal up here and imagine yours laws are similar to ours as they refer back to ADR's
Number plate must be visible at a 45 degree angle from BOTH sides and above and it must be less than 45 degrees from vertical.....and yes I know some guys that have been done for it up here.

Go SS on ya spokes.....the chrome peels off eventually.....stainless doesn't

local HD dealer said no problem with insurace or transport if i go to a side mount.
a lot of custom bikes here have a side mount.
but like you the law states the plate must be seen at 45 degree angle from both side to a distance of 20m i think.
goes to show what the boy in blue are taught down here.
'hide behind tree, aim radar gun at vehicle, and book it anyway'

ss is an excellent idea, going to have it done when ithe front tyre needs replacing.
hopefull not for a little while yet

stevo, is that "visable" or "readable" , cause if ya got spokes or cast mags I'm sure ya can "see" the light and plate but I know ya can't "read" the plate

just a thought

one word..........fantastic :)

its a firm seat, feels similar the the stock brand new.
but unlike the stock seat, the foam hasnt gone all out of shape after 500kays.

Crackers,

I am looking at a Mustang set as well. Did you buy it in Oz or direct from the US?

those detachables are great aren't they. i have the detachable sissy bar as well and it makes it much easier to use.

yes.
if the gf changes her mind at the last minute to go for a ride,
its a 5minute job to put the seat & sissy bar on.
(quicker than she can get changed :laugh )
