Today was bitter sweet, after 3 long years with my 48, she was finally sold. Sweet deal, only regretts you ask? That every mod that i purchased for the last year was sold off with it with out ever getting installed. Oh well, had to let her go to make room for the 2014 Breakout that should be in my possesion very soon.

I will always love my sportster but i won't look back, maybe some time later down the road. Thanks for all the help and support guys, but ill be in the Softail section from now on.

I know but since i have been a member i really only looked at this section and the softail section. Really the only types of bikes that interest me. Ill mainly be posting on that section from now on though.

I got too much invested in my Sportster. I'm in the market for a Road King or Street Glide but my Sportster will park right next to it when I buy my next Harley. Its foolish to sell a customized bike for half of what you have in it to get another bike. Good luck with your new ride!

Just picked up a 2014 Breakout today. So psyched to finally get it. Turned in an 09 Sporty also. Loved that bike and was great to me. VH Radius pipes ordered with a heavy breather. It has a great ride, comfortable!
Ride on!
