'11-up XL1200C-Who's got 'em?

New seat and solo bag
Here's a pic of my '13 c with my latest add ons. La Rosa 16" baSick solo seat with 3" barrel springs and matching pillion in antique shedron. I had the seat for about a month and just got the solo bag with spare fuel canister in the "same" color.
These are handmade so I was afraid the color wouldn't match but I didn't realize the seat and passenger pad had faded so much already. Hopefully the bag will fade for a closer match. Really like the look though. Progressive 430's 11" are next.

Bumping an old thread.
My XL1200CP ordered via the H-D1 factory custom program and delivered in May of '15. Except for the cast wheels, it's basically a clone of the XL1200CB that Harley used to offer in some offshore markets.
From the factory:
- mini-apes
- forwards
- denim black paint
- black engine
- black cast wheels
- ABS
By me:
- Mustang Wide Touring Vintage Solo and Wide rear seatpad
---- Installed when I pulled in my garage from the dealer
- H-D Convertible windshield
---- Zero buffeting!
---- Adapted to mid-glide forks using Bung King brackets
- H-D Express Rider saddlebags
15K miles later, it works well for me. At 68, still able to do the occasional 900-mile day.

The guy who said it's like a mini-Fatboy is right. I have a '17 Fatboy S and a 2012 XL1200C so I have a good idea of how they both ride. I Love 'em both. Love the fatness.
Just tuned the Fatboy with the Power Vision 2 and I'm putting some Rush slip-ons on the Sporty. I'll probably tune it too since you can use the PV 2 on different bikes.
Having two bikes really holds down the mileage on both bikes.

I have a 2013 since May 2017 and I love it. Yet I am tempted to go for a Dyna Low Rider or Street Bob. Am I mad. Possibly!
Bought it with 6000 miles and now tuning it.
Added the following so far:
- Daymaker head lamp
- Harley Crash bars
- La Pera swing arm Bag
- easy remove seat bolt
- HD chrome grip clutch paddle
In the works are the following (month or two); new hand grips, custom angled number plate holder, foot controls, HD Premium Tail bag.
More in the future (six months or so): RSD transparent derby cover, V&H slip-on with upgrade filter and tuner to Stage 1, seat (cannot find something that looks like the original and is more comfortable (gel?) with a bit more back support), mirrors, and may be better suspensions.
