Will be very careful with fuel Peter I put 1gallon in the Electra it ran but smelt like parrafin 2 gall petrol to 1 diesel interesting to say the least drained it off and mixed with copious amounts of veg oil hey presto fuel for the diesel bike happy days paul

Paul,
not sure how it works over there but out here when you buy a HD after signing the paperwork, they introduce you to your personal "Chrome Consultant" who is able to supply many thousands of dollars in bling. Sometimes can double the price.

And to think I only posted

"Harley a Davidson goes by"

Nice one Paul!

Let us know how you get on with peanut petrol tank - the reviews I have read suggest 48 owners will be well acquainted with petrol stations. My 61 Venom has a 4.25 gallon tank, good for 250 miles at a steady pace or enough to get me from Glasgow to Campbeltown and back. 52 years on and bike manufacturers seem to be going backwards in terms of fuel range and economy.
