Hey that is a fine looking machine you got there. Do a search on stabilizers,
if you haven't got one, and you will have a bike that rides just as good as
the newer ones.

Nice bike and a few nice touches. I like the chrome head bolt covers and is that a wood grain inner fairing? If you don't know the service records ya might want to get the cam chain tensioners checked out soon.

Yeah man!....thanks, love the trims.

The guy before me left a service record which included new tensioners at around 25k I think. Also has a power commander V that's been mapped.

Definitely thinking about some true duals.

Sure thing ... my group will most likely be hitting the mountains tomorrow 27 to 182 to 226 to Little Switzerland. Then maybe BP north from there.

Hit me up if you're out and about tomorrow or we can ride together some other time soon ..

Ride safe!

Beautiful! Big size jump from a Sportster. Did it take a few minutes to get used to the extra heft?
