Advantages: Location and pose factor. Disadvantages: Inflated prices.
This store has since closed down and the items it stocked can now be purchased from Warrs HarleyDavidson as they owned and ran this venture. They have two branches, one at Mottingham Road south of the river thames and the other branch at the far end of the Kings Road at their motorcycle dealership.
This was a store in the heart of Chelseas KIngs Road and was more a boutique than a motorbike clothing shop.
It had both clothes, shoes/boots and accessories in stock.
It fitted in with the clientele of Chelsea as they liked the Harley image without having to own the bike. I am a life member of HOG (Harley Owners Group) and I shopped there occasionally but prefered the atmosphere of the dealership further down the Kings Road.
The prices in the boutique are slightly more inflated than the regular dealership prices would be. ...
Advantages: Low cost upgrade from 883 to 1200cc's Disadvantages: none
I purchased a used 1996 H-D 883cc Sporster for $6,000.00 (USD) I then had the engine upgraded to 1200cc's and added a few other relatively inexpensive modifications (hi-flow air breather) for a total cost of less than $900.00 (USD), I then added a larger gas tank (previous 2.2 gal to 3.4 gal), and put metal HarleyDavidson lettering on tank (no decals). For all relative purchases I now have a 1996 frame on a brand new engine. A used 1996 1200cc Sporster would have cost at least $9,000.00--so I saved alot of money and got a much faster and better running custom engine, and was able to add a few more custom modifications with all of the money I saved.My bike is much faster and sounds better than any new or used stock factory direct 1200cc Sporster. The bike looks great via the no decals work on the tank. If you have a new tank put ...
Advantages: A dream of a bike Disadvantages: None that i have found
XL883 2007 Model - this is a fabulous bike. Now comes with fuel injection which means there is no more waiting for the bike to warm up, you turn the key and just ride away, fabulous! Lights come on automatically, the bike is alarmed and knows when you have left it and when you come back by the fob so disarms and arms without even pressing a button, which means you precious Harley is safe. If anyone tries to tamper with it it gives of two small warning before it goes into complete siren mode.
The bike is a dream to ride, pulls well in any gear and is solid. You are able to throw this bike around a bit which you can not do with the larger Harleys. The 2007 models are a little quieter to meet the EU regs on noise polution but this is easily remedied with after market pipes.
Great fun to ride, very comfortable and a durable ...
