With a Supertrapp on it. Kerker was the big one I remember seeing on 70s/80s bikes around here, but I do remember Supertrapp also (from my 90s memories).
when I lived in an apartment starting it up would set off a guys alarm about 200 feet away. without even revving it up. I tried to be quiet.
Years ago we would go to a watering hole in Mt Adams , a kinda up scale part of Cinti . . The place was once owned by George Remus . Long up hill streets to get there and exit . Every yuppy car to and from would have the alarm sound in as we blasted past . Kinda funny , lights flashing and horns blaring , coppers raising hell that bikes were too loud . I ask one “ do you not think the car alarms might be as loud as the bikes , goin off ? “ He was not amused by me at all . The license plates from south of the Mason Dixon was a dead give away we did not belong in that part of the city .
I had a '75 900 with a Kerker. Unplugged it was insane (in a good way). Luckily I somehow lived through it....
The first Airheart Disc Brake System on a custom motorcycle. Hello, I met a young guy that was a great machinist. He liked doing his own thing on custom motorcycles. When I saw his Harley Sportster, that was what I wanted in a street machine. Yes, outstanding flames drew me to the Sportster at first, but then the detailing of the whole custom motorcycle began to pop up as “one of a kind.” No one had installed an SU carb on a Sportster motor, while the rest of the detailed bike shined like a custom show bike. He showed me the parts for his creation of the disc brake system he assembled. Machining as much in the way of supports and brackets, then adding the original Airheart components, fit perfectly. It drew the attention of a lot of folks asking about the system at shows and everywhere he rode. Jnaki We got as far as the custom look, a home design seat back for my wife, dual header pipes at sound limits, chrome accessories and an extended fork, using the stock hydraulic shock system instead of the long extended springer forks. The next step was a shorter front suspension to give the overall look an all around lowered drag bike look, which needed a new front suspension. Then we bought a new house and everything slowed down… YRMV
Not sure , about a thing, other than that is what I was told . It supposedly was single fire ignition . I was just a driver to carry it home . Sorry
On September 11, 2001, FDNY Firefighter Tim Duffy, though off duty, raced into the heart of the chaos on his 2000 Harley-Davidson Super Glide Sport — grabbing his gear from the firehouse and riding through a dust-choked Manhattan street to reach Ground Zero. The image, taken moments after the first tower fell, freezes a surreal moment as he cuts through debris and paper in a haze of destruction. Shortly after arriving and while helping others to safety, Duffy was buried under rubble when the North Tower collapsed. Remarkably, he survived the collapse and continued his rescue efforts despite the choking dust and chaos. Duffy’s Harley-Davidson also survived the day. He still rides it to this day and has used it for fundraising and charitable work, including for a charity he founded called “1 Soldier, 1 Dog, 1 Team,” which pairs shelter dogs with veterans and first responders suffering from PTSD. The story and the image of Tim Duffy on his motorcycle have been featured in various media, including at a 9/11 ceremony at the Harley-Davidson Museum, where it was highlighted as a perfect illustration of the heroic attitude of first responders.
