So here she is...and I love it!!!! A few thoughts.

1. Had them move the mirrors under the bars and they are useless. Can't see changing lanes. I like them below rather than above so not sure what to do. Bar end mirrors???
2. Seat started to hurt my *** a bit after an hour. Might want a new seat. Any recommendations?
3. Can you modify the front peg to be more forward so that your legs are stretched toward front tire??


Any other mods or must do opinions would be great. Going to do drag bars.

 

far as seat , CORBIN been using them for many years, no complaints

 

sweet looking scoot, congrats on the new ride.

 

Nice, what part of NY?

 

Long island

 

Congrats...

 

Great lookin' bike. Glad you finally laid down the cash and got one.

Always loved the Forty-Eight. Maybe someday I'll do the same. It's one of my favorite Harleys for sure.

All I have for experience is the Road King, so my advice is not going to be worth what you pay for it, however I am sure others with smaller bikes like this
can answer your questions here and on the Sportster subforum, which I've seen you've found already.


Have fun !

 

Thanks guys

 

Awesome looking bike and I WANT ONE!!!!

Seats are all over and I have experience with quite a few manufacturers but not with the Sportster platform.
As far as the mirrors, just roll them back to the top?
Otherwise, bars and seats are pretty common to change as you find out pretty quick they are not put on bikes for comfort but only to sell the bikes.

Oh yeah, thanks for posting!!

 

The bike looks great. As far as the peg position goes, those are already the Harley factory forward controls for the Sportster chassis. You may want to ask this question in the Sportster section of the forum to get input from people who have already solved that problem.
