Most people seem to have first generation HLTs, why is that?
Are the second generation more rare or just not as desirable?
-
just not as desirable..
-
nope they're more rare ;D
-
and more desirable ;D
only joking haven't got a clue
ask Sparky
Lee's just biased ;)
-
for me the classic DB's are the large gussets with the holed block behind the bottom bracket.
-
;)
That's exactly why I have one too :)
Bof prefers the small gusset ones , don't know why

I have the small gusset second gen one :4_17_5:
.... IMHO I think it looks better, less clumsy :daumenhoch:

Owww....big gusset....suits you sir ;)
-
large gusset is more desirable as it was the original turbo, small gusset was released in 84 i think, but if you cant make your mind up like me just get one of each

Like the poseing twat said.. the large guss is the original :smitten:

As i said i am a huge HLT fan but i wouldnt be able to ever own one or ride one as i just havent the money... :(
