Here's a pic of my '13 c with my latest add ons. La Rosa 16" baSick solo seat with 3" barrel springs and matching pillion in antique shedron. I had the seat for about a month and just got the solo bag with spare fuel canister in the "same" color.
These are handmade so I was afraid the color wouldn't match but I didn't realize the seat and passenger pad had faded so much already. Hopefully the bag will fade for a closer match. Really like the look though. Progressive 430's 11" are next.
anyone interested in trading their 1200c wheels for spoke wheels off a 2012 48? should be a direct swap. I'm located in Northern California if interested
My XL1200CP ordered via the H-D1 factory custom program and delivered in May of '15. Except for the cast wheels, it's basically a clone of the XL1200CB that Harley used to offer in some offshore markets.
From the factory:
- mini-apes
- forwards
- denim black paint
- black engine
- black cast wheels
- ABS
By me:
- Mustang Wide Touring Vintage Solo and Wide rear seatpad
---- Installed when I pulled in my garage from the dealer
- H-D Convertible windshield
---- Zero buffeting!
---- Adapted to mid-glide forks using Bung King brackets
- H-D Express Rider saddlebags
15K miles later, it works well for me. At 68, still able to do the occasional 900-mile day.

2012 in ember red sunglow and a 2014 in candy orange. Gonna keep the '14 - it has the exhaust/intake I like. '12 is a Program bike fir sale but not listed on here yet.
The guy who said it's like a mini-Fatboy is right. I have a '17 Fatboy S and a 2012 XL1200C so I have a good idea of how they both ride. I Love 'em both. Love the fatness.
Just tuned the Fatboy with the Power Vision 2 and I'm putting some Rush slip-ons on the Sporty. I'll probably tune it too since you can use the PV 2 on different bikes.
Having two bikes really holds down the mileage on both bikes.
I have a 2013 since May 2017 and I love it. Yet I am tempted to go for a Dyna Low Rider or Street Bob. Am I mad. Possibly!
Bought it with 6000 miles and now tuning it.
Added the following so far:
- Daymaker head lamp
- Harley Crash bars
- La Pera swing arm Bag
- easy remove seat bolt
- HD chrome grip clutch paddle
In the works are the following (month or two); new hand grips, custom angled number plate holder, foot controls, HD Premium Tail bag.
More in the future (six months or so): RSD transparent derby cover, V&H slip-on with upgrade filter and tuner to Stage 1, seat (cannot find something that looks like the original and is more comfortable (gel?) with a bit more back support), mirrors, and may be better suspensions.

Looking good,
I'd suggest not leaving your fob on the key ring. the added weight may damage the ignition switch. plus a minor mishap, could leave you stranded. That is if you don't know your code.
I just wear mine around my neck, out of the way and always with me.
