A few more bike details, for those of you who have requested them, and for the curious. Forgive any slight inaccuracies; some of this is from memory, some from research.
Wet weight: 525 lbs.
Stock horsepower at wheel (estimated real, not claimed): 45 hp
Stock torque (est.): 47 ft. lbs.
After mods (the "Harley Tax") power, estimated): 55 hp
Modded torque, est. : 53 ft. lbs.
Bike defects, as I'm honest:
- A few good scratches on one mirror edge. Not noticeable unless you're looking for them.
- Front snap on one saddlebag recently broke [right around when I had it in for service :( ]. Doesn't impact the use of the bag, but could cause the flap to wave a bit in high wind. It's stiff leather though, and I haven't noticed any problem while riding. Any leatherworker (such as a shoe place) should be able to replace the snap easily.
- Stock mufflers are a bit scratched and missing the baffles...<gasp>! :) They're in a box, will go free with the bike if you want them, and are...loud. The SE mufflers on the bike now have a good sound, perform better, and aren't nearly as likely to get you a ticket.
