Sorry took me so long to respond. I've been super busy.
So far I love my sportster. It a little more ragged than some of the new bikes but i also like the older look.
The stock bars don't come back far enough for me to lean back or sit straight up, which lead to a neck/shoulder/arm injury so i'm looking at getting some 10-12" mini apes.
The stock seat is alright. Most people say that sportsers are not designed for really long rides but i would like to get a new saddle and just ride anyway.
One thing i have noticed, the bike is lighter. If you ride the highway a lot, you'll be pushed around. I don't have a windshield so that might also be a factor.
I'm not giving it up anytime soon though
