This will go down in my "greatest locked threads" thread sooner or later.
I'm very observant and seeing that the OP can't afford new fenders on his trailer puts the purchase of a sportster in perspective. New rider, probably passed the MSF this summer and doesn't get any attention on the "Baby" so he comes on here and blows up like a child.
That bike is a great beginner bike, if you paid over $3K you got robbed, blind. As foor how much you bench, never bring your muscles to a gunfight, it never works out. You say you're big? Calling Hellbilly & Lonebone please come in here and lets compare what Mr. Winchester's got vs the the thighs you carry on your arms.
You live in that trailer Winchester? If not you should cut it down and use it for transport that lawnmower to Sturgis next summer. Not bagging on lawnmowers, mine has 50 hp which is slightly more than your sporty.
I hope Izzo lets this roll for a few more day,s I can't wait to see some of the replies.

So speaking of best closed threads - anyone happen to have a link to the "Full Bird Colonel" thread? I can't find it.

I'd love to meet old Mark but he's pretty far away. Maybe he'd be willing to meet up with some brothers and school them with his lifting and motorcycle techniques.

The title of that thread in off-topic was "Patches".
