season's end

October is nearly halfway gone. I've received the renewal for the bike's road-tax through the post so it's time to think about the approaching winter.
I took a run down to West Coast Harley yesterday to have a look at the 2015 offerings from the MoCo. Wasn't too impressed to be honest. They are all singing and dancing and covered in loads of shiny black bits but unless you were in the market for a huge over-designed tourer there's really not much on offer.
The Harleys of today are just too expensive to buy and start stripping them of all the extraneous bits that no-one really needs and I certainly wouldn't want.
So, it's time to start thinking about what I'm going to do with mine while it's off the road. Got some ideas, mainly involving brass sheet and got a front right fork slider to replace but the rest will depend on finances.
Would love a different tank and a rear wheel to match the front but that may need to wait.
