| A couple of weeks ago I asked some questions about the 185 I was looking at, well its finally in the barn and I feel like when I got my first Harley 30 years ago, It is beautyfull! I don't know how to transfer a photo to the computer, I'll have to get my kid to do that. I bought it from a fellow who was having it serviced at Mike Culberts in Wellsville NY, on thier word I bought it without hearing it run, they didn't disapoint me!(also have a Simplicity2210) If anyone has any advice on these machines I'd be glad to here it. Great website here! |

Rich - nice 185! What size tires front & rear? Those fronts look like 10.00X16's? And 18.4X30 rears? Reason I ask is I put new 18.4X30 rears on my One-Eighty and need to upgrade/replace the fronts and want to go to something bigger than 7.50X16's. Mike
