Here's my new Roadster (hopefully).

 

Curious, why hopefully? They are the nicest Sportster currently made.

 

hey, do you still have that xr in your picture? if so, would you mind grabbing a few measurements.

 

First time (maybe not) uploading pictures here... I have trouble on the XLforum with that.

By the way, thanks!

 

Yes I do have it. Will be glad to get measurements, but maybe what you want is here... IF NOT, LET ME KNOW.

I've found them to be basically accurate... tp

Ah, so the hopefully was for the pics, not the bike. XLF is very different than here. It is easier than any other forum I've found, to post pics or videos, here. Just click on the mountain pic, and upload pics from a file or your desk top, or URL from another site... tp

 

It is at least as easy or easier than others here (with limited experience). I can't spend 1/2 hour+ refamiliarizing myself with the process at XLF each time I want to post a pic...sooo I won't.

 

Checking in with a '17 in billet silver. Stock (for now, of course).

 

thank you.
not there in the link. Thats general goodness. I need nonsense. I need :

1. the eye-to-eye distance on both the rider foot rest bolts.
2. the size of both rear axle spacers

I'm casing out the swingarm and rearset job . I think that is it. That may all change as i start the job. Thank you sir.

 

Snagged a leftover 2016 for $8999. It's red; apparently they didn't have much interest in the red, which is perfect for me because it's the color I wanted and I was having trouble finding.

My first sportster, and I'm excited to enjoy the bike. Sitting on one and realizing it had almost a UJM feel about it, really solidified the chase of finding one for me.

Can't wait to learn more and share with other Roadster owners.

Cheers
Steve
