Lookin For Streetbobba's

Hi all, Im new to the site & harleys i dont collect my new 08 streetbob untill 1st march but would welcome any advice you guys can offer, im considering a stage 1 tune as i really want that awsome sound, also i like the idea of forwards but im only 5'9" so will that cause me problems. Forgot to mention im in the minority as im in England so praying for a good summer as always.

Welcome to the forum Rusty. Your height shouldn't cause a problem with the forward controls at all. If you are looking for sound, try to locate a set of the SE II slip ons of past years. They had an awesome sound. Cycle shack also makes a good sounding slip on too.

Re: Lookin For Streetbobba's

Welcome to the forum Rusty, and don't worry about those other blokes on the metrics... when they see the appreciative smiles you're getting for roaring down on the HD, they'll probably all want to trade in! LOL.

Nah, it's all good... metric or American made... it's the fact that you ride that's important.

As for UK, we've got Hobbit, and Jeromes from Scotland... you'd be surprised who's lurking about here!

Enjoy, and...

Ride Safe!
