lol hey fellas yes im still rolling around on the hog. Just no new updates besides entering a contest to win a 1275 kit that im sure i didnt win. Waiting on the warmer summer weather to kick here in good old dallas tx. Did a few rides to Austin, Houston and around the DFW area but no new mods. Just paying bills and getting my business running. Hope to either get the seat done or even get another bike very soon. And yea i fixed the headlight lol

well it was a good ride on the sporty but as time ticked on and the urge for more power came about the decision to trade the sporty in and get on a bigger bike came about. this weekend i traded up from the 883 to a 2014 softail slim with 2-1 Vance & Hines pipes stage 1 air cleaner and pre tuned. man its a nice bike. as much as i loved the sporty i have always had an eye for the softail slim since day one. Dealership gave me a really good offer on my sporty and the Softail didn't hurt the pockets too much lol. ill start a new thread soon as i slowly make it mine again and add the link to this page or my user profile. thanks for all the advice on here fellas... you helped me make my sporty the way i wanted it. Below are some pics of the sporty as it sits today

end of an era. I had the softail slim delivered this morning and gave the sporty one last throttle twist and then pushed it up onto the trailer. bitter sweet watching it drive off but the ride to work on the slim made up for it! its been good in here with you sporty freaks and ill definitely be back to see whos new and whats new with you all. ill start up a build thread for the slim soon!
