Last year I did a 1275 big bore conversion on a friends bike. If you have the cash, its a fun project.

That would actually be next level, I might have to look into it. how long did it take you to do?

@@thewhiskythrottleclub Home garage shop, about 2 days with plenty of hydration breaks. Professionals with a shop could knock it out in 1. Hammer Big Bore kit.

@pb222221 nice work! I might look into it and give it a crack. Thanks for the idea!

AUSSIE! Ha ha. just kidding, mate - throw one on the Barbie for me, eh? Good content. Thank you. I was eyeballin' an 883, but maybe NOT now...

[@thewhiskythrottleclub]

Haha 🇦🇺 I’ll throw one shrimp on the barbie, for every like this video gets 😉👍 all in all they are a good foundation bike, the main reason I got mine was because there’s so many modifications that can be done, and heaps and heaps of aftermarket parts.

Still haven't changed the shocks or the seat. Guess my ass isn't made of wood.

[@thewhiskythrottleclub]

That’s fair. I haven’t done a seat yet, but the roads here in Aus are pretty rough so on long trips it takes its toll on your lower back.

@@thewhiskythrottleclub ridden 90 miles in one sitting on the thing and I actually like the padding

[@thewhiskythrottleclub]

@morose8082 that’s a good effort!

Don’t buy a HD. Buy a Honda or Kawasaki if you like your bike to start, run and work properly.

[@thewhiskythrottleclub]

Mine have never skipped a beat, Harley’s are like anything mechanical if you look after them they will be good for a very long time.

[@605pilot]

Great! another Harley hater. I’ve owned Kawasaki, Yamaha and 3 Harleys. My Harley has never broke down and it’s a joy to ride.

[@thewhiskythrottleclub]

@605pilot Harley Davidsons are a great bike aren’t they?! I have owned 2 Harley’s and two Hondas and I have never had an issue with the Harley’s at all.
