Harley-Davidson Softail description

 Built by Motonisto, the nr2 combines early century styling with a more modern powertrain. This super reliable bike uses a 1985 Harley Davidson Evolution engine and a Softail frame (yes, this bike has hidden suspension on the rear section of the frame for smooth gliding over bumpy roads!). Mileage is unknown as speedometer was removed for simplicity, but is estimated at around 40000- 50000. It is very dependable and simple to maintain, with plenty of parts available. Electric starter was also removed along with horn and turn signals. It is about 50 lbs lighter than it was when new. The kickstarter is predictable and once the procedure is learned one can start it in 2-3 kicks. Most of the parts are original Harley for ease of replacement. The body panels are custom  made. The rear fender is hinged for easy access to rear tire. The dashboard was replaced by a glove-box between the gas tanks. Handlebars are made of 0.125 wall Stainless Steel. Seat is early British style replica. Transmission is a newer ratchet top replica using internals by Andrews. A Sportster air box was adapted for crankcase breather. Wiring consists of headlight, taillight/brakelight, ignition and charging, very simple. If you're more into cafe racer then check out my other auction.

Louisiana Bill Updates Maximum Handlebar Height Legislation

Thu, 17 May 2012

Louisiana state lawmakers have approved a bill that would change the maximum height of motorcycle handlebars. Current state law restricts handlebar height to no more than 15 inches above the seat, a somewhat arbitrary level, but a common choice with 17 other states. The House has voted 87-0 in favor of Senate Bill 582 to change the maximum height to the rider’s shoulder level, as measured while sitting on the seat.
