Default Hi from Germany

Hi folks,

I'm Jochen from Germany.

I ride a 09 Rocker C in flame blue. Mods are:
- wider handle bar
- ThunderMax
- italian pipes with internal valves for loud /quiet sound
- thin Rocker seat
- DIY number plate
- Ness big sucker
- this and that
I attached a quick shot........

Unfortunately a friend broke the front fender - now I'm looking for an used one.

I really like this forum for the technical tips. Unfortunately our cops here hate loud pipes and they are allowed to take away our motorcycles and to check them when they think they are too loud . Then you have to pay the inspection and the ticket........ Bad bad country .

You're lucky to live in the US!
Jochen

I forgot to tell that I bought my bike in the UK - much much cheaper than in Germany. I got it from Robinsons Foundry in Canterbury - really nice guys over there!

Do you have many Harleys on the roads in your country? Welcome to the Forum from Indy. It's a great place to spend when NOT riding.

I think Harley's market share in Germany is less than 8% - in the US it is app. 50%.

The bikes are pretty expensive here.....
