Oldfenderguy- I have to be honest and tell you that I like the looks of your sporty a lot better, the rake and chrome look really good on that bike.
To be honest, I like the looks a lot more as well..

Myself and many of the 'old timers' I've ridden with for years have owned nothing but Big Twins for the most part, and as bad as it sounds, after a while they all start to look pretty much the same.

My 1200C has a great look, and is something out of the ordinary. It gets a lot of attention and draws a crowd no matter where I take it. It's been described as having a 'powerful and mean look to it'. LoL

I had to laugh. I'm also in trouble with the Dyna group. I told the original poster that he should have just told the guy that his was the slower one.

I've had people ask if mine's a Dyna numerous times. They look kinda embarassed when I tell them it's a Sporty. Gotta love it.

I've had several folks ask me the same thing about my bike, "which Dyna is that"?

They just don't know the bikes or take the time to look at the easy tell tale mark, the belt is on the right side. But at first glance, and at night, I can see why they may get it confused for a second if they don't look it over.

A friend of mine has a 76 Shovelhead with the original peanut tank and AC cover that says 1200, You should hear us laugh when we overhear someone ask him what year his sportster is.
