How many liters is a gallon?
I had a Low Rider shovelhead. When The Sportster came out with the Evolution engine (no longer had to adjust valves) I traded the Low Rider in. I live close to Grand Teton and Yellowstone parks and spent lots of time going there with friends for years as well as trips around the state. Loved both bikes. What was strange to me is that when I parked, women I didn't know would walk up and ask me for a ride when my girlfriend wasn't with me.
It looks nice, but isn't that petrol tank very small?
My NT700V has a 20L tank, and that's already smallish (have to fill up every 350km - 220 miles).
Yes that tank is small, about 3 1/2 gallons (US). But then again, that's plenty, when you are just riding 10-20 miles from bar to bar to bar.....
Does this count as a bridge bike? You know, something other than classic heavy cruiser but with V twin power. Kind of cool I thought.
The engine looks like an Ironhead (Sportster engine around the same time that Shovelheads were)
That looks like the HD engine is in a Norton featherbed frame. If it is, the handling will be superb. Why the Norton vertical twin was replaced though....surprises me.
Yeah, the Ironhead was an HD engine. They probably wanted more power.
