No help from me but the Sturgis is the one of the coolest bikes ever built. I had a friend that used to have one he beat the hell out of. I tried to buy it a few times but he wouldn't let it go. It eventually got parked in his shed and left there and that was about 15 years ago. He has since moved away so I often wonder if he ever did anything with it.

Picked mine up on e-bay 3 years ago from a pawn shop outside of DC about 3 year ago.

Back in 1983 a had a 1981 Low Rider, to me it was the second best looking HD of that time, the Sturgis was the Best!
