Hi everybody, my name is Christian, I'm from a small town in the northwest of Germany, about 40 miles west of Bremen and would like to introduce myself as a new member of this forum.
As I have an '93 Harley Davidson Evo Softail I will buy a 2010 F150 Harley Davidson Edition 4x4 in March 2011 to have my American fleet complete.
This truck will be imported by my local US car dealer and be converted to the required German standards.
There will be some questions coming up in the near future and I hope I will meet a lot of soulmates here!

 

Immer gut zu sehen wenn Deutsche Amerikanische trucks importieren. Ich bin auch Deutsch un leb hier in Alabama. Ich hab einen Ford F250 aber die Harley Modelle sind hammer. ist der truck 2 oder 4 tuerig?

PS Wilkommen, ich bin auch erst seit ner woche ein mitglied!!

 

Hi, will reply in English so that all others will understand me.
The 2010 F150 Harley is a 4-door with a 5.5 pick-up compartment.
I will convert it to LPG as the German fuel prices are extremely high and LPG is only 40 % of the gas price! This makes it affordable to run it in Germany.
Other conversions to be made will be a hardtop to store and lock my toolboxes for my job and a fuel operated parking heater to defrost it and to have a preheated engine when I start my trips in winter time.

 

Ich Lieb Dich? Nine?

Wait a minute.....

Sorry, that's all the German my wife taught me ( or rather, all that I agreed to learn! )

Anyhow, welcome to the boards bud! Post some pics up when get a chance!

 

OK, as soon as the truck will be in my hands I will let everybody know and will post some pics!
****, will take more 5 months

 

i apologize for my rudeness...but what all to do you have to change to make it legal in germany besides lights and the license plat on the front bumper?

 

It's not a big deal, you have to apply a kilometer scale on the speedometer (if that isn't already facrory applied?), change front lights for an asymmetric beam and you have to show it to the German TUEV, which is an institution for car safety, every two years this check has to be repeated. That's it!

 

haha right, the TUEV. i sometimes wonder if we need one here because have you seen some of the cars on the road??? But yes, i remember when we used to bring our cars there. And isnt there already a km scale on the american speedometers like you said???

 

Welcome to the forum ..lots of good info and guys here... be sure to post some pictures ..

 

Yes, there is a km-scale on the speedo, but hard to read. Anyway, I'll leave it as it is, may be there's an aftermarket speedo with a km-scale, which I will install after the guarantee-time is over.
Gosh, I will have to wait some more 5 month's 'til the car is mine!!
