It's got upside-down cartridge forks and 'premium' rear shocks as well, plus twin front brakes. They are worth the extra cost, on their own!

This bike comes with a Tach and a digital speedo

digital speed and tach are botrash. they could have slapped on a mickey mouse set up with low rider gauges. they wanted to keep the 48 lines i think. nothing beats two real gauges.

I like pretty much everything about it, but other than the inverted forks I've already done most of the stuff to mine so I guess I'll just keep my old beater...plus it's paid for.

Anybody have any info on if these inverted forks will work on older sportsters? I'm hoping to add them to my 14' Iron 883. Talked to my parts guy at the local HD shop and he had no clue.
