Default New guy from NewYork
Hi, I just got my first Harley. Its a 87 sportster 883 punched to 1200, wideglide front. It needs some work but ive been wanting one since i started rideing. I traded my 85 Suzuki gs 1150e for it. I had a couple pics of it all together but somehow the got earased. Im in the middle of tearing it down, ive got to pull the motor apart it has what i think is a rod knock.
