Default My 2nd bike

I picked this up in oct. but did not really have a chance to ride it and it needed forward controls. So over the winter I did the forwards I put 11 inch shocks on it and a solo seat. Damn this thing is fun. I never had a sporty before it is a fun little bike.

I did a similar thing last year, but I'm sure my Sporty is a bit older than yours. Mine is a '95 with 15,000 miles on it. I love it around town and it's easier to just get on and go than the Ultra is.

Someday I want to replace the Sporster with another Low Rider or a Fat Boy. Damn, I love toys! I just wish I was younger.

town with it.
