Welcome to the Softail world! I'm also a convert from the Sportster world, but I just bought an 1988 sporty, about a year ago, as a project and play bike.

That's crazy talk!

I had a Sporty, bought a Deluxe, sold the sporty, bought a '87 sporty as a project/play bike. Mine will be built minimalist tracker style.....except for the GSXr USD forks I've grafted onto the front
