Hi everyone ! I'm a new guy on these forums, although I started reading theads on hdforums a long time ago.
I've finally decided to subscribe, because I've realised I often have questions or topics I'd like your thoughts/advices on, and sometimes I wish I could participate to some discussions.
So, I'm 20 years old, live in Switzerland and been riding motorcycles since my 18s (well, had a small bike when I was 16 but crashed it after 2-3 months). I love America, and hope I could live there once I'll get my degree (Computer Science, for those who wonder).
Previously, I had a Honda (), but got it stolen one night, after like a year of owning it. Of course, I had always dreamt of owning a Harley, and that's what I should have done right away when I got my driving license. But I was foolish and too rushed to drive a "big" bike, and I didn't take my time to think it through and test different ones.
Now, since something like 4 months, I have a Sportster Superlow from 2010 (see picture below). I really like this bike; Harleys feel just so good, they are so beautiful, sound is incredible.. Never could I change back to another make. But here is the thing: I bought this particular model because the guy gave me the lowest price I could possibly hope for (4500 usd, it's like really nothing for a Harley in Switzerland). But now, I feel REALLY uncomfortable (even with the small transformations I've already done). I'm 6'4 tall, very corpulent, so I'm slouched like all the time, and my legs are either waaay back or waaay forth and just to high (highway pegs).
By the way, here is my sporty:
