Default Just Saying Hello

Hello everyone, I'm brand new to this forum, and grew up on sport bikes. I now own a 2015 sporty 48, and am already loving the ability to change and personalize this beauty to me, and what I like. I do all the wrenching myself, and am having a great time doing it!

You have to have 5 posts and be a member for 30 days before you can post any sort of ad. Edited by moderator.

So far I've changed out the seat, added passenger seat, and changed out the slip ons with a seat of screamin eagle 2's. (not shown). Next is a set of passenger pegs, bags and a backrest.

Considering doing a tank swap as well.

Here is a pic before the new slip on's and will continue to post as things get done!

Cheers!

Ron.

Welcome, make sure those "Few Trips" have a lot of Gas Stations spaced out..cause "Trips" on a 48 with a 2.1 tank can get a little Iffy.

Love my 2016 48

Many others to choose from as well. Be forewarned however that it's not unusual to run into customer service issues. Just be as thorough and concise with them as possible if you place an order.

Sorry, didn't realize that asking if anyone had any used ones to sell was considered an ad...
