Default Sportster pics before and after






Working on making my bike my own.....I'm sure it's not the young guys style, but it suits this old lady. Unfortunately I missed passing the safety course by 3 points, so I'll be re-taking it again in a couple of weeks.

I should sell the bobbed fender and it also had a LED taillight mounted down by the shock. I also have the original turn signals but maybe want to keep them.
