Default My old Sportster

Hi guys, I have a 2008 Street Bob, but figure you guys might like to see a couple pics of my old Sportster. It's a 1994 that was featured in American Iron Magazine in May of 2005(I think). I gave the issue to the new owner. Anyway, it was a 5 or 6 page feature spread. I bought it from a cop in Dallas who bought it from the builder in Kansas City, who was on Biker Buildoff. The guy I bought it from was driving it in Sturgis and the guy from AIM chased him down and said that he wanted to do a feature on it and gave him a card. He said it would about 10 months because I guess that's how far in advance they had features covered.He thought he was full of crap, but got the call 9 months later...
The cop I bought it from had the feature in a framed show case in his appartment. I think they let you purchase that when they feature your bike. ANYWAY, I miss that bike more than anything and regret getting rid of it. It started out as an 883, but had Buell cylinders and heads, S&S carb, Dyna3000 ignition, etc...It was a screamer... Anyway, I thought you guys might appreciate these pics.
