Is your Sportster Bone Stock?

Have you done aesthetic mods, changes for comfort or performance, maybe all three?

Have you done so much it is unrecognizable from its' stock form?

The Sportster is a great canvas for creating your own ride. My own Sporty has gone thru quite a few changes over the years.


Let us know what you've done to yours!

Almost stock except for installing XIEDs, and a custom luggage rack.

Else, it gets ridden 5000 mi per year, which one could think of as a means of preventive maintenance and extended break-in.

Just aesthetics for now. Have quite a few plans for this season so well see how far down the rabbit hole this goes.

I've done a little bit of everything but there's so much more I want to do. Tank lift, 1250 upgrade, highway pegs, luggage options, etc. If I ever get another bike I'll probably end up putting a solo seat on and going mostly for looks but until then I need this thing to be mostly functional and I like the way it looks currently.

I changed the seat, removed the passenger pegs and added a luggage rack on the back so really, it's pretty much stock. This is not so much from personal choice but financial.

I honestly don't mind it as it is but I read about everything out here and I can't help but think of things like exhaust and aircleaner, progressive shocks, swing arm side bag, grips, pegs... What did I miss?

The only things that I did not touch are the frame, engine, trans, and gearing since I still have warranty to 2019. Almost everything else has been modded.

I did a somewhat one off forward controls setup, added a quarter faring, air ride road king shocks, and mustang seat.
