First thing I did with my Street 750 was hung a sidecar on it. The bike is a blast to ride. Some of the aftermarket exhaust sound like crap so choose wisely. The Street takes some getting use to, it sits a lot different , quick on the throttle. Enjoy the ride.

still got my ultra but this thing handles superbly.

got some motocross bars fitted which are a better feel than the flat bars.
got the firebrand muffler fitted and its LOUD and great.
2 hours after picking it up from the dealers i ripped the licence plate bracket off - looks better now.
a few orange decals on the wheels to match the shocks.

for £6500 british pounds its an absolute bargain.

I thought i would post a few photos of my mods.
i also added the kuryakyn footpegs today - they ride nice, easier to get to the brake pedal.

Put the screamin eagle plug leads on today - look ok (orange) and hope they might aid easier winter starting.
cheap and easy mod.

Agent Orange, you know, i have built some great streetfighters in my time and had them centre page of uk magazines.
The last one i built was a gsxr 1100 nitous oxided fighter but this little HD streetrod makes me smile more than any of them 😀
i cannot beleive how it handles for a harley !

Looking good! These bikes are a blast for around town and certainly under appreciated.
How did the orange match the springs? I have been trying to decide if they’re orange or red.

Hi
orange plug leads are a good match for the springs.
the more bits of orange you add the more orange the springs appear !��
