Default Street rod... more "value"than a 1200

Looked at it, like sporty... get your act together.

Street putting out 75hp with the epa stranglehold tune and cats. Someone will knock 100hp out of that thing within a few months.

I also installed my Badlands ATS-03 turn signal module and some other miscellaneous wiring pieces on my way to wiring up this old girl.


looks mean with that bucket

One thing that really irritates me about Harley is their RE-USE of names/labels...Just confuses people...But it does have some cool stuff on it

They already had a "Street Rod" (not too long ago)...a V-Rod "Street Rod"

Metrics have been doing it for decades, Harley should be able to if they wanted. I have a 750cc Honda that's supposed to be putting out 82hp. It's faster than my 1200, handles better, but I haven't even bothered to put insurance on it for a few years. Too uncomfortable for this old man, should clean the carbs and sell it before the tires get too old, I suppose. Bet I'd feel the same way about the Harley 750.
