you might check into a fxr, there smaller but still have the big engine and the resale value will be a lot better than a sporty.

I'll bet you can pick up a cheap Jap cruiser for under a grand.&nbsp\\; Nothing real big but big enough to do highway speeds.&nbsp\\; Think of it as a throw-away. If you're set on a softail custom, you can learn on the throw-away then unload it.&nbsp\\; If you buy a decent Sporty you'll spend a lot more and it won't be the bike you REALLY want.&nbsp\\; Take the class and be patient.&nbsp\\;

Sweet custom you have. I think I asked you before but I am having a bad case of CRS... Who made your front wheel?
