Have you done any upgrades to it? I haven't done anything to mine except add a power commander.

just put the spike air cleaner on it(mainly for looks). already has aftermarket ecm (can't think of the name right now, brain fart!) . didn't really buy it to go warp 9, just wanted a good looking, comfortable ride, and so far that's what i have. it only had 6700 miles on it so can't really justify any motor mods yet. my bro-in-law took it for a burn and he said it really hammers for a 750lb bike, and he's prolly owned 15 different harleys, so that's ok w/me.

New to the forum and new to Harleys. Just purchased my first street bike ever and got a 2009 TMCC Spitfire. So far, I love the bike and everything about it but the paint job. but i can change that later. i got it used with 304 miles on it. some guy won it at a drawing or such and wanted a regular bike so traded it in to the dealer where I picked it up. Amazing bike.

Wow, hope you got a great deal, you will love it! Usually tmcc bikes come with great paint jobs, I'm sure yours still looks good. Post a pic when you get a chance and welcome!

The paint is really nice. Just not crazy about the color.

What color was it? I actually got mine from the Harley dealer here in the springs. Does anyone else on here have a spitfire? and if so, Have you raised the handlebars? really thinking of doing it for a more comfortable ride.

I have a 2006 TMCC Keystone and I love it. It belonged to a friend of mine and the first time he mentioned selling it, I jumped at the chance to own it. The seat has been recovered in tan ostrich and the pipes have been changed to V&H Big Radius and I'll probably modify the handlebars to fit my height a little better but other than that I love it the way TMCC built it. It's a blast to ride and looks great.
