2005 XL883C sluggish
My 2005 XL883C is sluggish. Recently she feels like someone is behind me tugging on a rope, or like I am pulling a skier on choppy water or dragging a load of rubber tires like cans on your wedding day. Any suggestions on what the problem is? I have some ideas from reading other threads, but nothing that really fits.

If the brakes were dragging that much they would be smoking hot after a couple of blocks. If that's the case, then it's time to rebuild the master cylinders (and pronto!) and flush the system.
Is it running rich?
Is there a noticeable gas smell?
How is the throttle response?
Do the symptoms change after it is warmed up?

Sounds like the OP is in good hands. All the same questions I would ask. This will tell you a lot about where it is coming from. Could be anything from a bad plug to a weak spark or low compression. I would also ask, how is the idle?
