Welcome Alan: Where in the UK are you located? Looks like a very nice Roadster. You gas cap is the "aircraft" style and is available as an aftermarket item in the US. I really like your 2 into 1 exhaust and the upgraded rear shocks. Were the front fork springs upgraded also?
What brand and tread pattern of tires do you run for the wet roads?

RE: just saying hi from across the pond
Hello and welcome!
I was just in London last week and stopped by Warr's HD in Chelsea/Fulham. I was SHOCKED to see how expensive the bikes were! They were basically charging the same amount for the bikes as in the US, but it was pounds instead of dollars. At the current exchange rates that's almost double! Couldn't believe it.
Makes a Harley over there very expensive! Take care of that ride! It looks great.
