Thanks for the welcome. Just got back from a ride, it's 35şC (~95F), which is pretty damn hot when sitting on a warmed up Harley. Hopefully warmer weather isn't too far off for you all.

Hey EvilEye

I'm from good ol' WA too. Just bought my first HOG... an 2013 Iron. I'm wanting to grab some drag bars and love the look of yours.... what brand are they?

G'Day bro, another Aussie over here!

I'm living in Dubai - you think Perth summers are hot, try riding in Middle Eastern summers! It's currently 40şC and it's 7 PM! Topping around at almost 50 during the day, never gets beneath 30şC at night.

Good news is winter/autumn/spring are awesome!

Your bike, looks great. Tasteful mods. Respect.
