With the speedo where it is and a rear tail light I think that is a Custom but the controls have been changed to mids.
Maybe it is a bike with mids and someone put the Custom riser and speedo on it?
Not stock is the air intake and pipes.
What is the VIN model 2 letters?

Isn't the color black cherry? It was a color that was available that year. As far as being faster than your softail??? Throw some money at the sportster and it can go fast for sure. If it runs good enjoy it and figure it out later if something happens to it.

Take it your local chop shop & give them $5k to bore it out to 100ci. Man you'll be doing 155mph IN FIRST GEAR smoking Dodge Hellcats like cheap cigars. Screw the warranty and having any compression in 6months. SPEED - SPEED - SPEED. That's why we ride HDs. to fly like we're winning the Isle of Man.. on a 600lb cruiser!

Hahaha. Thats awesome. Im gonna catch smoke for this. But I ride the metric 4 bangers for speed and handling. The Harley just makes me feel like Im in SOA because Im really a huge wiener. Lol. However. Im ALWAYS impressed by a fast Harley at the track and thats for real. You know they put some work into a Harley running sub 12s.

A few minor <$500 upgrades is logical. $2,500 to attain 95hp on a 600+lb cruiser that peaks at 3500 needs to move to rice rockets.
