Never seen it before but make sure you check out the RHD conversion thoroughly if you go ahead.
Some of them were a bit wky to say the least.

I insure mine with Adrian Flux.

Honestly, I've yet to see one really convincing RHD conversion which didn't look like the dash had been transplanted from something you'd pick off the sole of your shoe. I've never poked around under the bonnet of one but I'd be giving it a bloody good look over first to see how they've done it, there's some seriously dubious ways of converting LHD to RHD so you need to know it's been done properly.

LHD really isn't a big deal after 10 minutes, I've no idea what the one you refer to is like quality wise, but I'd give each a go first. The Harley's are ace, and I'd have one in a heartbeat - huge fun.

Great trucks, and you won't go wrong with them. Looks like some tasty upgrades have been done too, but they're not hard to find, so despite there being relatively few in classifieds, it's still fish in a barrel given how easy they are to bring over (happy to help in that respect)

The RHD would put me off. Seen some shocking conversions over the years and there's no way of knowing what parts were used so when something wears out it can be a nightnare.

480HP - is that more power than yours HD?

Yes.

The Whipple is a great supercharger upgrade.

How that 480hp was measured, or where is a different matter though.

Is that a drag race I smell?

Yes agree some are bodges at best, not the real thing and to be honest I would avoid RHD and so would most
enthusiasts so it might not be as easy to sell on, shame realy as it looks a nice truck otherwise ....

Anyone remember the crowd that used to do the conversions? something like american pick up trucks, they always took a double page ad in classic american. Never got to see any of their work but they just vanished one day.
