Best part about a t sport is the suspension and brakes. Ie dual disc and adjustable suspension front and rear. Your lacking in both. Otherwise nice bike

jrocker be patient . This bike is only 2 weeks old . Like I said in my original post Suspension is in the works . I'll be going 2 over on the Tubes with Racetec springs and gold valves . As well a adjustable Pre-loaders . 13.5's on the rear . I've thought about the brakes but havn't quite figured that out yet . I know that I don't want to have spokes and Tubes .
I've been more focused on wrenching on the Body work while getting it Broken in so I can Twist on the Throttle !

Yeah, should have got the Harley Slotted Six-Spokes, they are setup for dual disc. You could probably sell your stock mags and get these and only have to shell out a little extra cash:

Good idea but someone already beat you to it. Might get some good ideas on the suspension from this one though.

It's strange how times & trends change,in 2004 I bought a 2002 T-Sport,but I couldn't get rid of severe buffeting from the fairing/screen,so I decided to trade it fancied an FLHT,took the t-sport to quite a few local Harley Dealers,got offered really poor px prices,every dealer said the T-Sport was the worst selling bike in the Harley range buyers "hated the fairing & the bags" cause they looked like Japanese bikes,in the end traded at a local indy for a 2001 Ultra,got a reasonable deal cause he really liked the T-Sports.
funny how times have changed a lot.

LOL. I still hate the fairing and bags. Although mine did not start out as a T-Sport, i wound up with a Rifle Roadster fairing and the Synthetic saddlebags which although not truly detachable can be removed in about 5 minutes. I'd take mine over a T-Sport any day.
