Need some advice
Okay, I am looking at a 1997 Sportster that my girlfriend's parents own. I don't know if it is a 883 or 1200...not to important to me. It does have very, very low miles and appears completely stock aside from a windshield.
I am looking at it for a project build.
I need advice as it comes to pros and cons of a 1997 Sportster. I have little to no knowledge of the Sportster platform, but after reading in this section off and on, I have decided to approach a road-racer build.
Thanks in advance for any comments.

97 is going to be carburated and will have solid motor mounts (newer models have efi and rubber motor mounts to ease vibration, from what I have heard the rubber mounts add about 50 lbs to bike), both pros by the sound of your build. I am sure that if you could find out the model and motor size folks would be able to give you more specifics.
