Default New (to me) Sportster

I recently picked up a 2003 1200 Sportster Sport and am very happy with the deal I got. The bike is in very good to excellent condition with 12000 miles on it. I got a whole bunch of goodies to go along with it. It came with 2 sheepskin ratcheting straps, locking gas cap, fork lock, leather jacket with liner(new), foot pump, brand new (tag still attached) HD fork tool bag, suspension air pump for touring bike (new in box), two sets of HD mirrors, one set black and one set chrome, shock spanner, lowering kit including a short jiffy stand, the original air cleaner assembly and original slip ons. The bike also came with a quick detach wind screen with all attaching hardware, and a brand new 2 up seat. The bike has a SE Air cleaner assy and SE slip ons. Bike was recently serviced to include new Metzler tires, New battery, new brake pads all the way around, new plugs and oil service. The bike has a turn signal to brake light conversion kit. It also came with the service manual, owners manual, and a battery tender.
This was kind of a weird craigslist find as the bike had no pictures posted.
$2800 total.
It is a fun ride when i want to ziggy around town on not be on the Ultra.

Great deal! At least you don't have to spend thousands on upgrades like many of us on here....although that is part of the fun. Now stop admiring your buy and go ride...lol

Those SE slip-ons are not SEIIs so you may want to change those to SEIIs or aftermarket slip-ons for better sound and performance.
