Talking Show Your Ironhead Sportster

I am looking at all things for ideas for my '73 sportster. Please take a moment for one to show off your bikes.

I would like to see any custom things you have done to it or even aftermarket. From brakes to bars to exhaust and body parts. any and every thing.

And images of your bikes with Hot chicks welcome for the fun.



I will start with a stock image of my bike

I got those some years [6?] ago. They were on eBay and also J&P Cycles where i got these. About $60.00. 2,1/2" pullback risers - same height as stock straight risers. Perfect for a more comfortable riding position, original length cables, and more working room between the bars and the headlite.
