I recently purchased this 2001 Sportster Custom. I bought her for the wife, but can't keep my hands off her. I truly love this bike. Its been decades since I have owned a Sporty, and I am still kicking myself for waiting this long to get another one. Here's a quick pic of what she looked like when we snagged her off a dealer floor. Mostly stock with a set of really uncomfortable drag bars and some drag pipes. Fortunately, the previous owner knew how to tune a bike, because the jetting was dead nuts considering the bike has open drag pipes.:




Here's where we took her. The basic list of add on's:

Taller and wider handlebars
Turn signals relocated to the forks
Smoked front turn signal lenses
Rear turn signals relocated with chrome visors
Custom one-off hand tooled saddlebags
883 Low solo seat
Chrome oil tank cover
Chrome battery cover
Chrome module cover
Progressive front fork lowering kit
Rear lowering blocks

Here's some pictures of the finished bike. I know I am preaching to the choir, but man, do I love this motorcycle. Too bad the wife won't ride my Road King, because I may never give her back the keys to this Sporty!

 

Nice! I've seen a couple priced right lately, but as always none for sale when I do have the funds available. My day will come. Lol

Really nice clean bike. Great find!

 

Sharp ride!

What bags are those?

 

Thanks for the props guys!

DK, those are some hand made bags I ordered from a Tack Shop called Akers Ranch. They use Amish saddle and tack makers to hand tool anything you want. I just called them up, and asked them to make them to my specs, based on the stuff they sell on ebay. I paid $325 delivered for them. I added some diamond plate reinforcement and some 3/8 rod for strength, and bolted them on. I have the matching trunk on my Road King as well.

 

Great looking ride, enjoy it. Looks like it matches the same paint job as the RK in your driveway.

 

Nice looking bike..
