Default another sportster convert

Good Morning all,

I, like apparently a few others from what I've read this morning, have stepped up from a sportster. Yesterday I went by the dealership to talk to a few buddy's and pick at one of the saleswomen who sold my buddy his first bike the day before. My buddy talked me into a test ride on a 2013 fat bob since they were having some specials. Must say i'm hooked instantly after a 15 minute ride. I loved my sportster 1200c, it had all the power and was nimble for most situations but it left a bit to be desired when me and the little woman would go on a short road run for an hr or so. it's vivid black and has just the right amount of black and chrome for me, somewhere in between the street bob and super glide. Hoping to log many a mile in on this and feel as welcome in the dyna family as I did with my sportster

Congrats! I saw you post in my thread about doing the same thing I did

This bike is an awesome machine. I tossed some Cobra 3" black slip-ons w/ chrome tips on it and I don't think I could ever go back to a Sportster now. The dealer warned me that I'd be trading up in less than a year and they were right!

Enjoy your bike!

That is like the old joke about BOATS:

The 2 happiest days are when you BUY it and the day you SELL it!

Python pipes, arlen ness air cleaner, programmer, 12" burly apes and custom paint all in 6 months. wish i could afford to do the same to this one so soon lol. pics soon
