If you know how to work on it yourself go for it, otherwise it will sit more than you ride.

Gonna try an ironhead? Are you a good mechanic? Like to work on bikes? They are a little strange and finicky. If I was gonna bob a bike I would get an EVO sporty. You'll spend much less time working and more time riding it. And if you are planning on hot-rodding around on a nearly 30 year old bike, think again. These old girls are fun as heck to ride but they won't take beating on.
