[@toddaod295]

What a beauty!! I'd never let that one go.

[@TheGingybeardMan]

Thanks mate, I think i will keep this one 😅

[@davemagee]

Well done brother as long as it's what you want that is all you can want. I'm working on my RG constantly always lots of great ideas. What I have found out I get such a better deal from the USA than here in NZ I'm planning on coming to Australia to check out some Bike Rally's and parts lmao . You never know we're I'll end up bro. Great Bike brother and what you have done. You should be proud. All the best from NZ 🇳🇿

[@TheGingybeardMan]

Thanks Dave, appreciate it. I've bought loads of parts from the U.S which are reasonably priced but unfortunately shipping is never under $100 Au 😪

[@davemagee]

@@TheGingybeardMan True but still a better deal than from NZ most only took just over a week to get here.Scored some mean bars Meat hook. Backrest similar style and A V &H fuel pak. Still haven't seen the same bars in NZ which is exactly what I want. Must be Different aye Bro

[@mikepersia5362]

Everything came together nicely. Good job! Now all you gotta do is put some miles on that beast!

[@TheGingybeardMan]

Definantly going to be racking up the kms now the knees pretty well recovered 🤟

[@steveindorset]

Great looking bike mate. Loving that tank… if it were mine I’d drop it back down. That’s the only change I’d make. But hey, it’s your bike and I’m sure everyone has an opinion on it. 😂. Lovely bike though bud. 😍I really love the 72, for me it’s the best Harley there is. Also didn’t know you could buy extended forks. Cool😎👍🏻

[@TheGingybeardMan]

Thanks mate appreciate. I've since sold the bike and am building a shovelhead chopper.

[@larryavilez8060]

What was the purpose of the 3inch extended brakes lines?

[@TheGingybeardMan]

In the vid you would have seen I extended the forks by 3 inches with the tracker die fork dampers. Because the forks were extended the brake line also needed to be extended as it wouldn't have reached the caliper.

Money spent on freedom is never wasted.

[@mrchrisoben]

Definitely would changed that seat out With a solo seat Seat doesn’t go with the build

[@TheGingybeardMan]

I respectfully disagree sir, I think it builds on that chopper style like most old school bikes with the king and queen seats. Each to their own I guess.

[@mrchrisoben]

@@TheGingybeardMan I had one on my 48 And I had the same feeling on how much she cost , but after I got that solo seat I was totally convinced! But we all Have our taste!

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Bud short shots are around 400$ in USA. .....they were round 300 before the plague hit

[@TheGingybeardMan]

Mate thats definitely not the case for short shots in Australia. $400 USD is around $563 Aud then think about another $200 for shipping then tax and the retailers mark up. Here's a link to the cheapest short shots in Aus, I didnt make the numbers up 👍 www.bikebiz.com.au/products/vance-hines-shortshots-staggered-sportster-04-13-black-full-exhaust-system

[@zjwftw3122]

Do these prices include shipping to Australia?

[@TheGingybeardMan]

No sir.

[@chuckiepeoples]

I have a 2013 Sportster 72 that’s heavily modded. Yeah, it adds up.

[@andrewjohnson4475]

Harley personalisation syndrome it’s a costly addiction but it’s well worth it and it’s best treated with plenty of road therapy, enjoy your smile machine mate

[@TheGingybeardMan]

Hahaha definitely is a syndrome that's affecting me. Thanks mate, ride safe 🤟

[@mattyhempkin1875]

[@TheGingybeardMan]

Yes sir, I sure do.

[@mattyhempkin1875]

[@mattyhempkin1875]

[@TheGingybeardMan]

@@mattyhempkin1875 I've made plenty of vids on the bike on my channel and there will be more to come too. I just bought some 412 progressive rear shocks and a king and queen seat for it so will do a vid on those parts 👍
