So i'm looking at HD and have my eye on a used Sporty from a Dealer.
It fit me well, it was easy to ride and seems setup well as I am planning on commuting highway about 35 miles each way.
It already has all the mods needed to make it a mini bagger. With better front springs and rear shocks it will be a great commuter bike. HD shocks and fork springs suck. Give it a test ride and see how it fits you.
Thats a good looking bike.
Thanks for the tip about the shocks.
BTW: have you done any of the Fuel re-Mapping ECM stuff I see so much about on here?
The bike you are looking at probably has a tuner or ECM recalibration.
I have the Fuel Moto Micro EFI . It's priced at $199. Free unlimited maps, and 3 switchable map positions. Best bang for the $$$$$$ IMO. http://www.fuelmotousa.com/p-28236-f...efi-tuner.html
If you have the time. Check Bumpus in Murfreesboro.

welcome. smyrna here, but i ride into nashville for work.
bumpus will be through the roof higher than boswell's on anything used. i looked all over before i bought my 48 from boswell's and bumpus couldn't touch the price i paid.
Great looking bike. Love my '13 Custom. If it's pure highway or interstate riding you'll be doing you'll love the Custom. Upgrade the shocks and you'll have a much more comfortable ride imo. Pay your Harley Tax (stage 1) and you'll love it even more!
