Giday @Spanners39. Good to see the forum being seen and getting a bit of traffic. With you on the reliable aspect. A well built and maintained bike will go the distance.

Gruff.

Do you mean on the little walk-through video? There is no sound, but it is recorded in full HD, you may just need to adjust the YouTube settings if it seems low-resolution.

And, you can only edit a post for a certain amount of time. So that must have expired. It is to ensure that people aren't editing posts well after they were posted, when others may have replied and quoted them etc. Feel free to start up another intro post with images if you wish, and I can delete this one and move any relevant replies over to the new one, just let me know.

Try this link for the direct YouTube video on adding images/attachments:

They are less obnoxious than the short shots, lovely deep tone....you can't actually buy them for Shovels, I adapted these by welding Shovel flanges on.

Just checked them on web and see the similarity. Was there a performance upgrade over what the big shots bring

Not sure but they did seem much better quality and that Fattie flew! Mind you, I had put Bagger cams and a Dobreck Tuner on it.....I would buy them again over the V&H any time.

Will keep them in mind for decision time. Probably do something over the winter.
