The Blackbird is mine, the trike is a mates. We did a Southwest run in the freezing cold and rain.
The trike runs a Subaru motor. Yes she is quick, even with Greg riding at a ripe ol' age of...well, old enough to be retired.
On the up side, ran into one of the guys from 4WD Action magazine testing a CUB camper.
Long time between posts , just brought this 2011 XL1200X 48 sportster
only damage is front wheel and forks, only paid $3k should be ready for
reg in about a month, wrapping the pipes in black bandage, most things
will be a black theme. Its keeping my mind off the other things in my life.
Its a sort of a tribute bike, good therapy if you ask me. more pics when some more
gear arrives, I have a wavey drilled disc coming for the front, and a custom coil cover.
The gear linkage was reversed . I think it was for racimg, they tell me the motor is worked.
I wont know that till I get the guys from Doc Hogs or Harley Heaven to ride it.
I can tell you it is very very loud from those Vance and Hine pipes, going to fit
flat handle bars to it as well
Edit; things Ive found so far are external oil cooler, a vacuum operated idle thingy
an oil temp and oil pressure gauges.
The tank has a dent in front of where you sit no creasing or cracks
Awesome nick for its age, not an oil leak in sight, or signs of weeping.
starts first pop no choke, its fuel injected with a performance module
to increase fuel.
Damage is bent front forks , front rim is US, I have a new one at Harley heaven
It had no seat but they are cheap as chips on ebay, HD parts are a bit steep
compared to after market stuff.
Few more pics they even have an exact model cool as, the spiked cone is my new air filter
that will look awesome when fit
other pic is of the performance module.
more pics we love pics
One pic shows $600 worth of extras

04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
Bit of an update, fitted fat black spokes to the front rim.
also fitted a cool wavey rotor, along with some ribbed
covers. Love my can of matt black. It will have a peanut
tank painted vivid black and the Harley Davidson brand ghosted
into each side.. hoping to get the forks back this weekend
so I can get close to finished. Just a few pics , looking good
for an air compressor lol lol
Need to remove and spray the rocker covers, cant go wrong

Bit of an up date , its now off the bike stand.
Ive blacked out things the peanut tank and the
heat shields will be black chromed now. Ill do that in the
new year. Blacked out the top of the forks, the head

Have a great contact in Brett from Harley Heaven in Melb.
Black axle covers front and back, lots of items blacked out but you
need to see bike up close.
