Too bad they dont have a hardcandy paint. Doesnt the gray fade like carzy? I have seen some pretty beat nightster. But that is a sweet option for someone who doesnt want a 48. Its def better then a 48.

 

Love the seat. Hate the rear fender.
Love the inverted fork. Hate the front fender.
Love the wheels. Hate the exhaust.
Love the tucked-in headlight. HATE the integrated risers/bar clamps.
Love the 1200cc engine. HATE the engine color.
Some rear-sets, would make it more awesome-er.
I want one. Dang it. Not ready for a new Sporstster. Maybe a used one, in a couple years (said that about the XR1200, too).

 

I agree, it's a fine state of affairs when customising a Sporty will require providing longer fenders front and rear, as well as adding a tacho! Lower bars and slight rear sets, a 2-into-1 system, or those upswept oval-track pipes? Needs a complete paintjob, but I think it can be done.....

 

rear sets on a sportster, man you guys must have shins for legs.....

the 43mm forks. could possible fit in stock 2016 49mm crowns........

 

odd how folks feel that way but, never say that about sport bikes.







c'mon

 

Love child of a 48, a nightster and a XR. Not liking that seat but I bet it corners pretty well.

 

I used to have an '06 Roadster (XL1200R). Made some changes on it: shocks, fork springs, strut covers, belt guard, fork brace, slip ons, grips, mirros, NRHS a/c. I'm much more comfortable on my FXDF though every now and then I miss it.

I do like the seat and forks on this new one, be interesting to see how the market will react to it.

Here's my old one:

 

Dang, I had been thinking about picking up a used Iron, but this takes care of most of the Irons' shortcomings...I think it is a great looking Sportster, the only thing that I think I would change fast is the bars, would like mx type and a little higher.

 

Just got this in my email ...

The Moco has FINALLY done it right. It's a master stroke ... Bringing the iconic Roadster back with so many improvements such as 43mm inverted forks, dual disc front brake with floating rotors, cafe-racer inspired aggressive stance, optional ABS, side-mounted license plate and so much more ....

One look and you will fall in love ... at least I did.

 

Doc, that's nice - well done.

Clip-ons and rear-sets? Of course - doesn't everyone have an inner sport bike rider, lookin' for a way to get out? Buttercup at rest (she passed her annual inspection yesterday):
